C'era una volta In Castiglione del lago

We stopped by chance, during a trip on a beautiful Sunday in April. We arrived after 2:00 PM, wondering if they'd still welcome us (we know that customers arriving after a certain hour can be a bit "tiring" for the kitchens, especially when they order à la carte 😬). But we were warmly welcomed anyway! We were tempted by the rich and succulent Sunday menu offered by the house, but then opted for something lighter. We started with a truly delicious lake appetizer, then tried the pici with perch, which fully satisfied our curiosity, since we didn't even know what they were 😅! I'd say we were satisfied, recommended!

This is a nice restaurant where you eat very well, the food is of excellent quality. I stopped here on Easter Monday, perhaps because it was a holiday? Perhaps because it was busy or I don't know what, but we came in at 12:30 and left at 3:30. We were two couples. We had two white fish, two chips with sauce, a mixed roast, three steaks, a fried potato, a mixed salad, a green salad, and a grilled vegetable, which we didn't receive. The price, in my opinion, is not the best. For example, a picio with sauce, a small steak, maybe 1.50 grams, it wasn't a grilled vegetable. Wine and water often cost €45 per person. I promised myself I'd try again on a normal day to judge better. Of course, the timing and the price didn't help this restaurant this time, but I still recommend it for good food.

Great food, shame about the long wait!

Quiet place, family atmosphere, excellent food, very friendly staff. I recommend it.

Excellent food, good service. We ended up in a small room with a group of 10-12 very loud and rather rude people. It's not the managers' fault, but this presence made the meal uncomfortable because we couldn't hear each other.

Another stop in January 2026. I confirm. Whenever I pass by, a stop is a must. A homey place, very friendly staff, and what can I say, delicious food. The pici are fantastic, the meat is cooked exceptionally well, and delicious. Highly recommended, and greetings to the owners.

Very large but comfortable space, super-abundant appetizers, dry and light fried dishes. Excellent grilled pork.

If you love simple, authentic cuisine, then this is the right place to stop. We stumbled upon this restaurant and pizzeria by chance, after a beautiful motorcycle ride as a couple. The simple atmosphere and the quality of the dishes make this place a place to return to. Certain places are good for the soul even before they are good for the palate. Excellent cuisine, excellent ingredients, excellent quality. A day that will remain in our hearts forever. ❤️ Thank you

You spend the right amount and the food is good

Excellent restaurant worth trying, friendly staff, we've been there more than once!!
