Baruffa Cafe In

In a fairy-tale tourist location, you can enjoy a good dish 🍽️ with flavors and generous portions, to return with friends and enjoy the beautiful place.

Delicious and not expensive. Right on the market. I recommend it

Very tasty aperitif with their shoe and kind staff, welcoming place

The location of this restaurant is absolutely enchanting, located in the charming main square of Castel Gandolfo, right at the foot of the majestic pontifical palace. The vintage atmosphere of the internal room adds a touch of undeniable charm to the experience. The cuisine proved to be of excellent quality, with typical Roman dishes prepared with care and attention. I particularly appreciated the tonnarelli carbonara, a true riot of flavour, although a pinch less salt would have made the dish simply perfect, considering the natural flavor of pecorino romano. The pappardelle with mushrooms, although tasty, would have benefited from greater flavor to fully enhance the flavor of the sauce. Despite these small observations on the condiments, the quality-price ratio can be considered honest, especially taking into account the privileged location in the heart of the city centre. Special praise goes to the service: quick, courteous and decidedly efficient. The staff were friendly and pleasant, helping to make the experience even more pleasant. Despite the slight imperfections found in some dishes, the overall experience was decidedly positive. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a charming atmosphere, good Roman cuisine and impeccable service. An address to definitely take into consideration in Castel Gandolfo.

Baruffa is an absolute gem in the historic center of Castel Gandolfo! The food is simply outstanding, with delicious traditional dishes that truly capture the flavors of the region. The interior is charming, featuring a beautifully designed vintage-style dining room that adds to the cozy atmosphere. But the real magic happens outside—dining on the main square is an unforgettable experience, with stunning views and a lively ambiance. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. And to top it all off, the prices are fantastic for the quality you get. Highly recommended—don’t miss this place if you're in Castel Gandolfo!

Enchanting place on the main square of Castel Gandolfo, right under the pontifical palace, with a really nice vintage-style internal room. Excellent cuisine, well-made typical Roman dishes, even the aperitif formula is very good. Friendly and nice guys. Highly recommended!

Last month I had lunch at "Baruffa", finding myself in Castel Gandolfo for a visit to the papal palace. The service is excellent, welcoming, helpful staff, ready to answer various questions about particular ingredients on the menu. As far as I'm concerned the cuisine is excellent. I chose meatballs with sauce that brought me back to the flavors of my childhood, and fresh ones prepared in an excellent way. The quality/price ratio is also good. The place is very particular, with decor that mixes different types of elements (each table is different from the other), in a slightly retro, warm, elegant atmosphere. I give four stars to the environment only because some elements that can create disorder (such as some boxes) should be better disguised, to preserve as much as possible the style of the furniture chosen to give originality and class to the room.
