Charlie's Italian Restaurant

Service is always extremely slow and it's not a fine dining experience. Slightly overpriced. Although it is not my go-to, it's still a good place to sit down and eat and enjoy good food and company. Always a pleasant friendly experience and the place is clean.

Sarah is the kindest, most attentive server. She remembers us & what my family orders. We enjoy going there weekly.

First of all the food was absolutely outstanding. Incredible Italian cuisine. Our server, Sara, was polite, attentive, and answered any and all questions we brought forth. With that said, I was utterly dismayed with the lack of patrons. Don't get me wrong, they were fairly busy but with the food, service, and ambience of this place, they should have been jammed packed. More people need to know how good this place really is. I know that anytime I'm back up this way Charlie's Italian Restaurant is where I'll be eating. And quite honestly, if you're looking for Italian food, this is where you need to be too.

We are locals and love to support local businesses. We had been looking forward to trying Charlie’s. We ordered to go tonight and paid over $40 for a 1/4 cup of soup, 2 pieces of manicotti and literally 2 tablespoons of Tiramisu. We will support other local restaurants thank you!

Great food! Great atmosphere!!! Great service! Love going there when I am in town!

Food was overcooked and lacked seasoning. Overpriced for mediocre food.

I took my wife and mother in law to mothers day dinner and we were blown away. The food was amazing. Our server was, meh, but the food was great. Highly recommend a visit.

Best pizza ever. Our waitress was the best and we remembered her from years ago. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely fantastic Italian restaurant!!!!

We are in the Ellijay area fairly often. My wife has said for a long time she would like to try this place but for whatever reason we never had. On this particular day we decided to. It was a Friday evening around 6:30.We had no problem finding a parking place(which probably should have been a red flag).We entered and was greeted promptly and was seated right away in the Bar area. The bartender was who took care of our servicing.... which is the norm in a lot of restaurants. She did welcome us and take our order after about 10 or so minutes. The restaurant was not even close to busy. We placed our order...a very simple one that was Spaghetti with meat sauce, salad and the Charlie's signature specialty Pizza.We had Fried green tomatoes as an Appetizer. It took around 30 minutes to get our meals. Longer than you would expect but it happens sometimes.We were told at about the 20 minute point that we were waiting on my Pizza to cook. Ok.. that's all fine. Here is where the main problem lies...
The food was NOT up to par. The over $20 signature pizza was not thoroughly cooked( very doughy in the center) and the flavor was very bland. The Spaghetti dish was for sure not a $15 or more dish. Very minimum effort put into it with products that were not even at the Wal Mart level of flavor. The Appetizer was ok and the sweet tea was probably the best thing they served. My wife's salad was never brought to the table... not sure why. Our server was polite and friendly but seemed like that she could have used someone to help in her area. Wrapping up...I was disappointed over all especially with the taste compared to the price. I would suggest the cook and maybe even owner visit other Italian restaurants nearby and compare prices and quality. Maybe Papa's Pizza House in Jasper or Marie's Italian Deli and Bakery in Cumming. Their costs are lower yet their food is just simply put much better.
Disappointing meal...😔😔

Very good restaurant. Fast service. Very good food!
