La Brace Ristorante Pizzeria

09/02/2026: Disastrous experience: poor professionalism and lack of hygiene, ruined meat, unacceptable behavior from the owner.
I've never written a review in my life, but unfortunately, as a former restaurateur, I feel compelled to state only the facts; everyone can draw their own conclusions.
I ordered a cut of meat (for non-experts, like a Florentine steak). The Simmenthal, about 800-900 grams, was recommended (a large cut). It was just for me; the meat was served already sliced (see photo) and, unfortunately, completely overcooked on both sides, with a dry, biscuit-like consistency and absolutely inedible.
When the waitress saw me putting it aside, she asked me if it was okay and alerted the owner, who was at the cash register. But what happened next was even more serious:
Lack of professionalism: The owner showed up at the table, claiming that the meat was okay as it was and that there was nothing to change, refusing to replace it or offer a suitable solution.
Serious lack of hygiene: To prove his point, the owner repeatedly touched the pieces of meat on my plate with his bare hands, then insisted I eat it anyway. This was unacceptable and violated all health regulations.
Seeing that I wasn't eating, they offered to take the meat away. Shortly afterward, without my asking, I was given a take-out tray of meat. Everyone knows that this type of meat is "either eaten immediately or it becomes inedible," as it was from the start (a tray that I threw away as soon as I left). It's clear that, with walk-in customers like me, the technique is to proceed this way when something isn't right: the waitress was well-trained.
The end result: The total bill was €151.50, and as a "courtesy," I was given a €1.50 discount.
The bill also included two dishes from the other two diners, so the meat cost roughly €100, a fair price!!! For such service, punctuated by arrogance and a complete disregard for basic hygiene standards and respect for the customer.
I should emphasize that it's my custom, when I don't like something, to not expect anything from the restaurant, to pay, to form my own opinion, and never return.
In this case, unfortunately, the arrogance and very aggressive behavior of the owner and waitress—the tray actually said, "TAKE HOME..."—led me to report what happened.
The place is nice, it certainly has its history, and I believe it's otherwise average. It was absolutely not my intention to discredit the business, but I was misled by a social media video demonstrating the skill and expertise in cooking and grilling meat. I absolutely don't question the quality of the meat or the owner's expertise, but as a former restaurateur and someone who has been dedicated to welcoming and hosting guests in various businesses in Italy and abroad for about 26 years, I had a truly humiliating and indecent experience with my family.
I don't recommend anything to anyone. I just hope these incidents at this place don't happen again in the future, leaving other customers feeling truly mistreated and, in effect, kicked out. The message was very clear; I hope mine was too. I wish La Brace restaurant all the best.
08/02/2026: I've eaten here several times. The meat is top-quality, though a bit pricey (understandably so, of course). The pizzas are amazing, tasty, and most importantly, made with one of the most digestible doughs I've ever eaten.
My only criticisms, if I may, are that some of the side dishes (like the baked potatoes) are a bit small, and the main dining room is very noisy.
Otherwise, no complaints, highly recommended.
