Ristorante Pizzeria Charly In Brenzone

18/10/2025: A very good and close-knit team, friendly and cheerful. Excellent prices for both the pizza and the food. Highly recommended.

26/09/2025: I occasionally go for fixed-menu business lunches. The food is good, and the portions are adequate. However, the experience is uneven. The first courses are mostly freshly drained pasta, plated with a dollop of sauce in the center. The second courses are usually very tasty. At peak times, it's quite crowded, but if you can adjust your seating schedule, it's easy to find a table. Lately, I've noticed several inattentive behaviors. For example, the last time I was there, the same person who seated us, despite us being in plain sight, was subsequently seating people at tables nearby. We had to call her a few times to come and take our orders. Meanwhile, she took orders from several tables, some quite large, that had arrived after us, only to then tell us that the dish I wanted was sold out, perhaps eaten by the last ones to arrive. Anyway, for our first course, we had risotto all'Amarone. The problem, however, is ours, for we got ripped off because, unless you're in one of the beautiful, low-lying villages famous for their rice, risottos on the set menu should never be ordered. Still, you want to miss out on a good Amarone risotto in Valpolicella??? In summer, when it's packed with tourists? A good calling card. But no. Completely overcooked, a tasteless mush with no flavor whatsoever. Imagine, if it were possible, a well-made dish on the set menu, with the price of Amarone and the amount of it needed to cook it. I recommend, rather than doing something this way, sticking to the basics. Having learned this lesson, I'll think twice next time.
