Charlie's Italian Restaurant

We were a party of 11 celebrating an anniversary. We all agree everything was top notch. Food,Service and Atmosphere!
Highly recommend

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!

Food was average Italian. Service was always slightly below average, as the server had too many tables. Menu variety was good. Atmosphere was fantastic.

My best friend n I were going to Long Horn, but we had been curious about eating at Charlie's Italian Restaurant.
I ordered Filet Mignon.
I have never had Filet Mignon taste like liver.
Service was good, no wait time, but the food, I could not eat.
Will never eat here again.

The atmosphere is nice, the service was adequate, but the food was unremarkable and VERY overpriced. We won't be going back.

This is the second time we've been here over the past several years. We come down here on vacation from Ohio. Longhorn was packed, so we came here and we're surprised that the parking lot was rather empty on a Friday night at 5:30. A very young girl greeted us and sat us at a table. Our waitress was Tracy R and she was very nice. Another lady brought us for food (which I think was maybe the manager), and she was also very nice. My husband got a ribeye and a baked potato and a salad and said it was good. I got the lasagna manicotti combo with a salad and it was good. I was surprised for a combo how small of a portion it was though. I assume since it was more expensive then individual lasagna or individual manicotti that it would be a larger portion. But it seemed more like a lunch size portion. Lasagna was okay but the manicotti was delicious it was just such a small amount. I would eat here again when we come back down.
