Most Italian tastes the same, so either you never disappoint + are price competitive, or you add a twist. Or you just pay for a central location. Brunello did this. They also served me up with pink champagne in my glass, so I knew I was off to a good start.
The menu
27 different types of pizza’s on the menu (all traditional, except for Brunello’s own signature veggie pizza), but also other traditional Italian dishes like Lasagna and pasta (also have alternatives for gluten-intolerant people).
The dish
Pizza Europe topped with chicken, tomato, mozzarella, garlic, and Parmesan = I knew it was all riding on the kitchen. And it did disappoint to an extent, not the most exciting piece of chicken. Too large slices as well, but on the plus side it was juicy. I liked my meal, but will try something different next time. Maybe this dish deserves a 4* treatment, but I was also drunk when the meal arrived and most times that reduces my ability of criticism a great deal.
What definitely did not meet my standards was the tame & lame Panna cotta. It had no taste, and there had formed thin skin around it, in layers. I don’t think I was able to finish this.
My rating: ♥♥♥
Atmosphere
Very cosy for such a busy area.The service is attentive and quick, but you don’t feel like you have to get up of your seat right after you finish so this makes for a good place to also enjoy a bottle of wine (or two!) after your meal.
