15/09/2025: Three stars – the food was okay, the sage ravioli was actually really good. The service, however, was disappointing: Just 5-10 minutes after we were sent away without a reservation, two other guests were politely given a table without reservations. Perhaps Brasa has a certain "regular customer priority" – we ended up eating between the cars in the parking lot. And honestly, sage ravioli tastes surprisingly good even there.
Update: The restaurant responded very professionally and kindly to my criticism and promised to improve. I really appreciate that and will definitely give them another chance when the opportunity arises.

Here's the details again: Yesterday, Sunday lunchtime, two of us with a baby went to Ristorante Pizzeria Brasa. The restaurant was quite full, which is perfectly normal for a Sunday lunchtime. However, the first waitress asked us rather rudely in Italian about five times whether we had a reservation. Finally, another waiter explained that they didn't have room for the two of us without a reservation.
We were at least able to order takeout to eat up at the parking lot – rustic, but ultimately probably more relaxed. While I was waiting for the food and had already dropped my family back at the parking lot, two other guests came in without reservations, were asked "how many people?", and were shown directly to a table – just 5-10 minutes after we were turned away. I found that quite rude and unfair, and that's why I'm writing this review.
There was also confusion with the cutlery: When I asked, I was initially told "Yes, of course," but when I picked it up, they suddenly said they didn't have any. Luckily, we were allowed to borrow two forks and return them later.
About the food: Unfortunately, there was no pizza for lunch, so we had pasta. The spaghetti was barely seasoned, but the ravioli with sage, on the other hand, was really good.
Conclusion: Three stars for the food, but the service and fairness deserve one star at most. Given the reputation and prices of the restaurant, I would have expected more professionalism.
