Trattoria Gian Carlo's - Birmingham

Bad start to the evening as the address on trip adviser is wrong. The starters were quite good ,but it went downhill from there. The fillet steak i ordered wasnt fillet and it had been butterflied so was overcooked, the peppercorn sauce tasted of vinegar with no hint of brandy or peppercorns. My husband`s lasagne was just a pile of soggy pasta with mince on top. We didnt stay for dessert...

Iv been a few times with family . Excellent food top-class service family run business with rely nice atmosphere .

Umberto and his family are always ready to welcome regulars and new customers alike the food is good value, the service is friendly what more could you ask?

We went to Gian Carlos recently with friends, i was semi wanting to cancel as i had been Bella Italia which was your jo basic do our self at home sort of Italian. Firstly its a very cute restaurant nice and cosey and very welcoming by the staff and owner. Now most important food, I had a bruschetta to start which was amazing in taste and came out nice and quick, my main i didnt want the typical lasagne and spag bol so the specials menu looked amazing I had veal in a cream and white wine sauce and added mushrooms to my dish, It came with lovely crunchy veg and potatoes which was nice not to have a pasta dish. We didn't try puddings as was so full from my starter and main. The owner was lovely very friendly and loved hearing all his stories. I couldn't recommend this place enough and look forward to my next visit

I was taken here for birthday treat and it didnt disappoint. Food was excellent, antipasti to start followed by sea bass and then a great bread and butter pudding, Italian style. Good wine, great company, what more could you ask for. For anyone who knows the area the owner is Umberto who used to have his own restaurant close by The chef at Carlos is his son
