Dal Castiglionese In Castiglione del lago

One word... exceptional from the starters to the dessert... 4 of us just left with a baby We will definitely be back.... Thanks for delighting us.

A walk down the central street on a winter’s day revealed this restaurant was full and most others empty. The food is certainly excellent, impressing both foreign visitors and Italians alike. The menu is Tuscan rather than Umbrian. Trina said it was the best pici all’aglione she’d enjoyed to date. Catia loved the beans and sausage. I liked the cinghiale in umido. The servings are good too. While prices might seem highish, the answer is to share an antipasto and then choose a second dish each. The tagliere boards all looked amazing and huge. Similarly the coccio di fegatini (cooked liver pate). The resulting meal is first rate and satisfying. It must also appeal to families since about half the tables involved family groups. I can see the scope for some visitors to quibble. The delivery is slow (generally a good sign, not a bad sign, since it means the chef is taking the role seriously). The place did not feel, to me, super cosy for winter; rather a little on the Spartan side. And I always prefer places which don’t measure out drinks too precisely (like some nameless countries to the north). In conclusion this is a first class restaurant and a great first choice if you are visiting this small but beautiful town with gorgeous views across the lake and surrounding countryside.

Absolutely a place to try and where we will return hopefully soon. Splendid staff and a special thanks to the beautiful Emy, who was able to advise us with professionalism and honesty. All The courses, from the appetizers to the coffee, were of truly high quality. The room is welcoming and furnished in an original way. Well done, good, good.

Lunch to remember, unique kindness to return

Place located in Castiglione del Lago, not very large so I recommend booking in advance, but even though they were full they managed to find us a place even without reservations. We took a platter of cold cuts which was good, a fondue with croutons which was very good and the torte al testo with finocchiona and cheese was also very good. The stew is also good, service carried out correctly and prices right

Ci è piaciuto tanto. Mangiato benissimo (polpette 💯, patè di fegato 💗, cinghiale 🔝...) ,prezzi onesti, personale gentile,locale accogliente e si è in pieno centro a castiglione. Assolutamente consigliato!

Excellent food with generous portions, after seeing the portions of the starters I had to ask to cancel one of the first courses ordered because we would not have been able to eat it, in fact with 2 starters and 1 first course which we divided we were full and satisfied... friendly staff and prices correct.

All very good. Truly delicious pulled pork

I ordered gnocchi with white ragù and they were good in flavor and texture. An added touch is the freshly ground pepper. The second course was the wild boar: well creamed and flavored with bay leaves and black olives. Too bad it wasn't accompanied by cake, being Umbrian I would have expected it! Generous portions and it's a shame about a small mix-up which, of course, can happen, but they knew how to manage it by removing the price of the dish from the bill.

Trattoria lungo il corso principale di Castiglione, molto semplice e dall’ambiente famigliare. Ho cenato con mia moglie e figlia, preso dei crostini, una lasagna per la bimba e una fonduta di formaggio per me, poi delle polpette al sugo da condividere. Davvero ottima la fonduta, ottimi anche i crostini, la lasagna a mia figlia è piaciuta molto, secondo me se un po’ asciutta, ma ok. Invece la cosa che non ci ha entusiasmato sono state le polpette, che dentro erano fredde. Bene il servizio, male il gagliardetto dell’inter, certe cose non andrebbero esposte ;) Ok il servizio ed il prezzo.
