Braceria Gerardo Scalea

Great friendly place. Beware if you order a pizza : it is extremely Huuuge!
But very good ;)

Very poor service quality - we ordered 2 pizzas on ubereats since there was a 2 for 1 deal - only one pizza was delivered, it was cold, and quite heavily burnt. We called and tried to explain the situation to the restaurant calmly and we were hung up on. I then called back, thinking perhaps it was a mistake, and was spoken to very rudely and aggressively by the man on the phone. His only suggestion was to come and look at the ticket in the restaurant in person - not exactly convenient when you wanted to order in.

This restaurant is the best Italian restaurant in the whole of Geneva, wat a fantastic place to eat & chill with a cold drink, the best tap beer in town by a country mile, a must go to place if visiting Geneva, enjoy

Ate meat and it was very good. It's a pitty that garnish is small and you can choose only one.

My husband and I went to La Braceria Fratelli Scalea on Sunday, April 21 for dinner and it was a terrible experience for the following reasons:
- When we arrived, we were asked if we had booked with The Fork. Although we said no, the waiter asked us several times and at the end of all, he mentioned that people who booked via the application on that day get a 50% discount (I think it was not necessary to let us know that we would pay the full price unlike anyone else in the room).
- It took the waiter 30 minutes to set the table by moving the cutlery and glasses from the next table. Besides, the glasses were dirty.
- After an hour of waiting, I asked the waiter how long it would take to get our dishes and instead of apologizing, he blamed the Pizzaiolo and offered to change my order to something other than a pizza. I refused because we had been waiting long enough. Indeed, the dishes arrived 2 minutes later (wouldn't it have been better to apologize and check when the dishes would arrive?)
- We then noticed that the green pepper entrecote that my husband had ordered was cold and that the sauce was a simple mayonnaise. As we were very hungry, we started eating and a few minutes later I mentioned it to the waiter. Instead of apologizing, he didn't want to believe that the meat was cold "since the cooks have lamps", and told me that I should have told him earlier (at that time, I must admit that I lacked patience and I insisted firmly), so he finally accused the cooks, still without apologizing.
- We then ordered a little more wine and water and had to claim because we were almost done eating and the drinks had still not arrived.
- At the end of the meal, the waiter proposed a digestive implying that it was a commercial gesture for the inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, this did not leave us with a better feeling since it was not the first time we had been to this restaurant and they systematically offer it.
- Finally, when the invoice arrived, although we mentioned that we didn't want to pay for a sauce we never got, the sauce was billed.

In summary, this is the third time we have eaten in this restaurant and the service has been very slow on each ocasion, however the food was quite good. Nevertheless, this time, the food was more than mediocre, the service was even slower than usual and above all unpleasant, which completely ruined our evening.

Pleasant atmosphere and extensive menu. My entree (Bruschetta) and main (Spaghetti Bolognese)were delicious and very ample - I had to leave some. Fast and friendly service, thank you.

Nice place and very beautiful terrace in summer. Huge pizzas, tasty but quite oily and heavy. Not for the faint of heart ????

Food quality very good. Nothing to except. Service could be definitely better! Perhaps I had bad luck.
