Conte Castiglione In Foggia

A restaurant in the center of Foggia, a quiet setting ideal for a business lunch or a romantic dinner if you're looking for a relaxing atmosphere. Good food, good service, and friendly, courteous service.

First time at this restaurant: we've always heard good things about it, but in reality, we weren't thrilled. Only three choices of starters and appetizers, which were a bit meager and classic. The sea bass all'acqua pazza, the side dishes, and the cream and chocolate millefeuille were good. However, we felt it was excessive to pay €25 for spaghetti with scampi (so how much will it cost with lobster?). Finally, the wine list was nonexistent and there was only one waiter in the dining room, unsure whether to take orders or serve the dishes.

If you're looking for a slice of authentic culinary tradition in Foggia, Il Conte di Castiglione is the place for you. Under the expert guidance of owner Gennaro, this restaurant is a delicious journey through the flavors of local cuisine. For our first course, we had orecchiette with Foggiano sauce. The fresh pasta had the perfect consistency, and the rich, flavorful sauce made every bite unforgettable. Mopping up the sauce with excellent bread was a must. The lasagna was also delicious, soft and layered with delicious toppings. The battered semolina with seafood was a true masterpiece. The freshness of the seafood paired beautifully with the texture of the semolina. The tagliatelle with baby octopus was another delight, with a combination of flavors reminiscent of the sea, while the sautéed troccoli all'assassina offered a truly appreciable spicy note. For our second course, we chose Angus beef steaks, which, cooked to perfection, melted in the mouth, and the new potatoes were the perfect side. The service was impeccable, with attentive and helpful staff who made the experience even more enjoyable.

Great place, very kind and professional staff... Very good and fresh food... I completely recommend it!!?
