Antico Baglio In Castelbuono

My boyfriend and I went to this place on a Saturday night. A welcoming location with rather bright lights and a lively atmosphere. The service guys were very kind. The owner was professional and helpful. He recommended a bottle of wine that turned out to be exceptional, not present in the wine list; the jewel in the crown of the local cellar. We wanted to eat steak, and in fact he presented us with a decidedly inviting Madonita scottona, which arrived cooked at the table after about 10 minutes, also served with chips with the skin. The homemade bread was delicious, with a special fragrance. Careful attention to celiac disease (my boyfriend is intolerant to gluten), in fact the place has the AIC certification. We ate more desserts (4), all 10 and praise, We were happy with the bill. Surely if we pass by here again, we will return.

Great pizza, nice atmosphere, fast service even on weekends; always top of expectations.

We visited restaurant, inspired by its high rating, and decided to order the spaghettoni with truffle and cheese fondue — a dish that sounded exquisite and promising. Unfortunately, our experience was mixed. The spaghettoni itself was well-cooked, with a good texture, but the dish as a whole was disappointing. Instead of the rich and creamy cheese fondue with the distinct aroma of fresh truffle that we had expected, we received slightly moist pasta with a minimal amount of mushroom-based sauce. Of the two portions we ordered, one had a small amount of sauce, while the other was nearly dry, with the pasta barely coated. The mushrooms were crushed into small crumbs and lacked a noticeable flavor. This execution did not match the description of the dish or its price of €20. Additionally, there were some details in the service that stood out. We were served bread with olive oil, but no plate for the oil or seasonings like salt and pepper were provided. The dish itself was served on cold plates, and it arrived only lukewarm, which gave the impression that it might have been prepared in advance or left to sit before serving. The service also left something to be desired. We visited in the afternoon on a cold day when the restaurant was quiet, and the owner seemed somewhat distant in his interactions with us. It felt like there was less interest in engaging with tourists, possibly because we were perceived as one-time visitors. Please do not take this review as a negative critique, but rather as constructive feedback for improvement. I sincerely hope that my observations help the restaurant refine its service and offerings. I also genuinely believe that the next guest who visits after reading this review will exclaim, “Oh, they were absolutely wrong! Everything here is incredibly delicious and perfect!” The restaurant has great potential, and I wish it continued success in delighting its future customers.

Nice place, polite staff, excellent lunch, clean place, clean toilets, easy to reach, average prices and good quality menu

We had lunch at the restaurant located in the historic center of Castelbuono and what can I say: simply amazing.

Last Sunday I was in this place and we ordered the fixed menu for everyone... Everything was excellent from starters to dessert, highly recommended.

Siamo tornati per l'ennesima volta e abbiamo mangiato molto molto bene. A mio avviso il miglior ristorante della zona.

Si inizia sempre con " me ne hanno parlato bene" ma si sa com'è...se no non provi di persona ti rimane il dubbio 🤣🤣... Location a 2 passi dalla piazza, personale accogliente e disponibile ma che dire delle pietanze....ottimo..tutto davvero ottimo.. è un arrivederci

Fixed stop every time we pass through Castelbuono.. Excellent service, super prices and as for the food all I can say is Wooow...👌👌Great Christmas

Good experience at the restaurant. The owner fulfilled our off-menu requests, demonstrating availability, courtesy and understanding.
