Awards 2017

12/10/2025: This restaurant stands out for its understated elegance and impeccable hospitality. Each dish tells a story, crafted with balance and respect for the ingredients. Authentic and harmonious flavors, unexpected pairings and presentations, and top-quality ingredients. Each course is a mini sensory journey, where tradition and creativity blend effortlessly. The desserts are particularly noteworthy, simply excellent: refined, balanced, and so delicious that they captivate from the first bite. The service is attentive and discreet. The extensive and carefully curated wine list expertly complements the chef's every offering. A complete and memorable gastronomic experience, fully deserving of its Michelin-starred recognition.

07/10/2025: Highly recommended if you're not too fond of Michelin-starred restaurants with unique and unusual flavors (I'm a fan of those cuisines). I recommend it if you want to try traditional dishes revisited with top-quality ingredients. Excellent wine list. The staff is the strength of this restaurant; you feel right at home.

25/09/2025: A high-end experience. Among the best restaurants in Campania. All-round quality. The garden area is beautiful and well-maintained. Great customer service.

23/09/2025: Impeccable service and excellent tasting menu

24/10/2025: I found this restaurant in the Michelin Guide and stopped by for lunch yesterday with a friend. We tried the seasonal forest menu featuring chestnuts. All the dishes were exceptional and beautifully presented. The service from the two ladies, who we later learned were sisters, was perfect. We'll definitely be back!

08/10/2025: First of all, a big thank you to Antonella for her kindness and help! Our room and that of our traveling companion were exactly as shown on the website, beautifully renovated and always clean. I would have liked instant coffee to make myself, in addition to tea. The mattress and pillow were good, but there was only one large duvet (difficult for two people). The bathroom was well-lit (indirectly) and the shower was a good size. I would have liked a shelf in the shower. The view from the breakfast room is sensational! The Italian white bread isn't my taste; I would have preferred the whole-wheat baguette from the restaurant for a change. Alternating between the cured ham and the delicious salami from the restaurant would have been nice, too. Antonella prepares every hot drink fresh, along with various egg dishes and a delicious apple and carrot juice on request. Delicious. The food in the restaurant is truly high quality, but also expensive. In my opinion, however, the price for the cheese clock and the vegetarian lasagna is excessive. The hotel is located high up on the mountain, so you always have to drive to the lake. This is something to keep in mind for the evenings. Nevertheless, we would absolutely recommend the hotel.

05/10/2025: We were invited by a friend who raved about this restaurant, and after our divine meal, I completely agree. The place is very elegant and well-decorated. Even the table linens and china are very fine and tastefully paired with the various dishes. The appearance is also impressive. And as for the dishes, I can't help but compliment the chef on the blend of flavors that were never cloying. No ingredient overpowered the others; everything was expertly balanced to create a unique harmony of flavors. The wines were also excellent. The staff who served us were always present but discreet and not intrusive. What more can I say? If there were an option to give one more star, I would... 5 stars, completely deserved. You can tell when work is done with love, and there is plenty of that here. I will remember this dinner and will definitely return.

20/08/2025: Gambero Calvisano is always a guarantee. The atmosphere is welcoming and familiar, the service friendly and professional without ever being intrusive. The veal terrine entrée and glass of wine are a great start. Personally, I recommend the Coppa Martini as an appetizer, while for those who don't eat fish, there's the truly delicious culaccia. Among the first courses, my favorite is the Risotto D'Amare, a dish that never disappoints, but the asparagus risotto is also highly recommended. The pork belly is also excellent as a second course. The portions are generous, and finishing with a small pastry and coffee is always a pleasure. If you have room, dessert is also worth trying! A restaurant where you eat well, always feel at home, and the quality/price ratio is excellent. Highly recommended.

02/10/2025: By far the best restaurant in Lazio Innovative, unique proposals in every season, excellent quality in the execution and presentation of the dishes. Crazy location, old-fashioned service with courtesy and availability

12/09/2025: We arrived with high expectations, and I must say we left the restaurant already wanting to return. The welcome and kindness of the service was truly superb, with the two chefs (the La Serva brothers) passing between the tables several times to chat with everyone. My compliments, and see you soon!

05/09/2025: It's always wonderful to eat here! The setting is relaxing, with soft background music and soft colors. Simone in the dining room is fantastic, always very kind, attentive, precise, and always with a smile! He welcomes you and advises you just like an old friend. The food is excellent, the dishes are refined in both flavor and presentation, offering an overwhelming sensory experience. We always love coming back. The price is reasonable for the quality of the food and service.

22/07/2025: If you've never eaten here, there's no point in talking! You have to try it at least once before judging everything else. An exceptional restaurant, with always courteous, attentive, and attentive dining room staff. The kitchens are filled with the right smiles, producing Oscar-worthy dishes!

17/06/2025: Un buon ristorante. Ambiente poco accogliente e la toilette era mancante di carta igienica.

15/05/2025: non è stata la prima volta che ci siamo stati,ed è stata una giornata molto bella e molto squisita !

08/07/2025: We had a wonderful stay at Castello Banfi — the property is absolutely stunning, surrounded by breathtaking Tuscan views. The service was top-notch throughout our visit; the staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that we didn’t get the Junior Suite we had booked. While the room we were given was still lovely, it was a bit disappointing not to receive the specific accommodation we had looked forward to. That said, the overall experience was still exceptional — we’d definitely come back and recommend it to others!

06/07/2025: To visit and stop in the cellar for a tasting

08/10/2025: For my birthday, my partner wanted to surprise me with dinner at your place. I already knew this place; the road to get there was magical: a gentle climb through the Abruzzo hills, the distant lights of the sea. When we arrived, a rare silence greeted us, the kind that only exists in ancient villages. The restaurant is hidden among the stones and narrow streets, and every step seems to lead you into a story. We were escorted to an intimate room, with warm lighting and thoughtful details. The staff greeted us with a kind smile, as if they were truly waiting for us. No forced formality, just natural elegance and sincere attention. We chose the tasting menu: a journey through the ideas and flavors of chef Davide Pezzuto. Each dish was a small discovery, a balance between creativity and roots. Some pairings surprised me—sea and land intertwined, smoky and sweet notes, herbs reminiscent of the countryside and freedom. I vividly remember a fish dish with wild herbs and a delicate sauce: it moved me more than I thought possible when faced with a dish. There was a harmony that spoke of care, passion, and home. During dinner, we often looked at each other in silence, smiling. It was one of those rare moments when you feel completely present—grateful, lighthearted, happy. The service was impeccable, always attentive but never intrusive. Each dish was delicately explained to us, as if it were a shared secret. The dessert, surprising with a candle to celebrate me, sweetly concluded a journey that had already said it all. When we left, Montepagano was immersed in silence. The yellow lights of the street lamps outlined the stones of the village, and the sea, in the distance, seemed to breathe softly. I stopped for a moment, my hand in his, with that feeling of fullness that only certain evenings can leave. A different kind of birthday, without excess but full of emotion. A place where time slows down, where food becomes language, and where every detail—from the first greeting to the last glance at the sea—expresses an idea of ​​authentic beauty. Congratulations See you next time Thank you Giada

03/10/2025: Gorgeous place, with attention to every detail. Fantastic service, they made us feel at home. Super kind and helpful. Wow, the food was exceptional. A wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back!
