Bacchettone e Zazza In Castelforte

NEW REVIEW: THEY HAVE GONE FROM 1 STAR TO 5. SO GOOD!!! A second opportunity, if you are in good faith, must always be granted there. This is my motto that paid me back in full last night. Despite my bad previous experience (the first review is at the bottom of the text) I decided to try dining at Bacchettone e Zazzà again. Good choice! Booked at 4.40pm and arrived at the venue at 8.30pm on Sunday. The owner welcomes us and immediately puts us at ease by giving us an excellent outdoor table. We ordered first courses and then two types of meat to put in the center plus the side dishes. Very fast waiting times. Generous portions and excellent product quality. The staff always helpful and kind. Right atmosphere. We were surprised by the small welcome gift sent by the owner. SUPER PRICES and for all budgets. The owner, if you are lucky enough to be 'recommended' by him, easily understands your desires. In short, I was happy to change my mind. My wife 'ordered' me to change my review. THANK YOU FRANCESCO (the owner) FOR PAMPERING US!!! Highly recommended, but I suggest you book 😉 What a disappointment!!! I traveled 100km to go and eat at a bigot and zazzà, on the advice of a friend of mine from Formia, I arrive with my wife and little girl at 7.49pm. The place is empty, the waiter, intent on washing the floor, with great embarrassment, tells me that it is still early, I point out to him that I come from afar and that I am with a little girl and that perhaps we could have freed up the table quickly. At this point, he tells me "ok, I'll ask the owner...". Obviously, having no scruples, the manager, without even revealing himself, sends me to say that he can't seat us because I haven't booked. THE PLACE IS EMPTY, THEY DIDN'T LET US SEAT, EVEN INSIDE. If this is the attention they have for customers, I imagine how they would have treated us with the place full!!!

The best for enjoying all types of meat

Una eccellenza della carne. Non avevo dubbi, siamo stati x un pranzo chiaramente solo carne uno spettacolo buonissima, la ragazza che ci ha servito gentilissima e molto competente ci ha consigliato sia la carne sia il vino. Azzeccata, bravissima. Il resto è super eccellente. Prezzo qualità è il top... Torneremo presto..

You eat very well, genuine, typical, excellent quality food. Fair prices. I will definitely be back.

What about B&Z?! A local icon. Thanks to them I discovered the first fine, foreign, dry-aged cuts of meat 20 years ago. They were famous for their "village" starters that kept you from wanting anything else. Years later it has always maintained its quality and reputation high. If you are fussy about service and ambience then you should know that if the place is full (and it often is because it eats well!) you may feel cramped, suffer from the heat or have to call the waiters insistently before they notice you. In short, nothing excessive for a genuine, local reality. Come here to eat lots and well, the quality and quantity of the food will leave you happy and with a full belly.

No, I don't share my experience

Excellent restaurant where you can eat special meat from different origins. Perfectly cooked (however you choose it). Wine cellar worthy of the meat.

Beautiful culinary experience. Superlative cuisine.

Ci venivo oltre 20 anni fa. C'era una cucina più rustica, piatti tipici e cose del genere. Adesso strizza l'occhio alle carnezzerie, Angus e braceria. Resta però la vecchia brace, ottima salsiccia, una buona genovese napoletana ma non ci sono i pezzettoni di carne che altrove mettono. Buon calice di montepulciano d'Abruzzo e prezzi contenuti. Come dire, qui c è per sempre un pezzo del mio cuore e il primo amore è sempre meglio ricordarlo che vederlo invecchiato. Ma il servizio è gentilezza allo stato puro. Voglio tornare in un giorno feriale.

Everything was very good, the homemade starter and first courses were excellent, the desserts were also good
