Pizzeria Gusto Pizza Carlino In Bolzano

The interior of the restaurant feels like it's been there for decades... which is nice, but only up to a point. Good food, no complaints. The price is in line with the amount eaten. It's annoying, really annoying, to be handed a fake receipt when paying in cash. Just pretend like everyone else and don't fool people, thanks.

The place seems to have been stuck in the '80s; the decor is visibly dated, though well-maintained, and the plastic plants are a bit cheap. In short, it's not exactly a pleasant place. We had dinner on a Monday evening, and when we arrived, we were the only customers—not a good sign for a restaurant. After ordering, the drinks arrived almost immediately, while the entrees took a while, over 15 minutes. As for the food, all in all, we're okay: - My penne with salmon and black pepper was very generous and tasty, even though the pasta was visibly pre-cooked. - The pizza was a bit too oily, but still well-filled and had a good texture. - The fried fish was a bit dry; perhaps we didn't have the perfect night to enjoy particularly well-prepared dishes or fresh produce. The prices aren't exactly cheap: four of us spent about €30 each (€5 off the total) with three seafood first courses, a pizza, a fried fish dish, and five beers. If you have time and enjoy a vintage atmosphere, it could still be a fun experience. Weekends might be better than weekdays, but remember that if it's crowded, you'll need to be patient. I'll be back to give it a second chance!

Positive experience. I ate fish and left satisfied. The portions were adequate and the food was good. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. I'll be back! Good value for money.
