Antica Osteria Al Castello In Gambellara

Ended up here by chance during our bike ride on the way to Venice. Had a great lunch, surprisingly good. Incredibly tasty super fresh shrimps and octopus. There is a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. Slightly dated interior, but that certainly has its charm

I happened upon it by chance on a Sunday when the highway entrance was closed... it was a pleasant surprise! A place with refined furnishings and details and relaxing background music. The managers are truly helpful, welcoming and polite people. The menu is varied and studied in every detail and the presentation of the dishes is jaw-dropping! The book with the description of the personality based on the day of birth that is found at the counter at the entrance is beautiful. We are from Bergamo and, now that we have discovered this enchantment, we will definitely return. 🔝🔝

A rare gem in the hills: unforgettable experience As soon as you cross the threshold of Al Castello Antica Osteria, you are greeted by a warmth that goes far beyond simple hospitality: the hostess, Paola, with her sincere smile and her disarming courtesy, manages to make every guest feel at home, but with all the attention reserved for a guest of honor. The cuisine is simply extraordinary: dishes that would have nothing to envy of a Michelin-starred restaurant, made with obsessive attention to detail. Each course is a small work of art, designed and created with authentic passion and respect for tradition, but with a surprising contemporary touch. The environment is elegant, with a refinement that is perceived in the materials, furnishings and mise en place, but without ever appearing cold or detached. On the contrary, there is an informal and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying every moment with serenity. A place that remains in your heart and that you want to return to again and again.

Wonderful discovery. The culinary offerings are original and exquisitely artisanal (my aperitif was accompanied by fried wisteria, never tasted before!). The service is fast and attentive. Even the place settings are splendid (gorgeous glasses). In short, an en plein across the board that I can only highly recommend.

A charming place, super refined food and Paola's special treatment! I'll be back!
