Il Capolinea In Castelnovo ne' monti

It is a small restaurant close to the center of Castelnovoné Monti, simple and clean; but how do you eat it? I would say well, taking into consideration the price range I would say that what you receive is more than what you spend (don't increase prices immediately!!) The dishes are simple, there isn't a lot of choice (which is often a good thing) but all the dishes we tasted were excellent, in particular the pappardelle sauce; impossible not to finish it with the excellent bread. For those with a sweet tooth there is an excellent choice of desserts. The dining room staff is discreet and prepared.

A pleasant surprise for me and my partner was dinner in this restaurant located in the beautiful Castelnovo. I have been frequenting the Apennines for almost 50 years as my mother was born in Cerreto and I must say that a restaurant of this type serves like water in the desert, or rather like a good glass!, in the extremely uniform panorama of the gastronomic offer of these parts . Please note that this is not a criticism of tradition, but simply a commendation of the courage for having dared to propose something new and for having created, without fear of contradiction, the best wine list of the entire SS63! Obviously this doesn't come out of nowhere, given that the restaurant has been on the scene for many years, it has however recently changed location, moving to a slightly more secluded area. It is born, I was saying, from technical skills, culture and study because the depth, originality and skill in explaining the wines of their profound list requires all of this. If you haven't understood, wine is definitely the protagonist and a continuously changing, original and unconventional menu has been built around it. You won't find the "usual dishes" that are offered everywhere (lasagna, tagliatelle, tortelli...) and if you find them, rest assured that they will be prepared with an original twist. I was able to appreciate a very well made little guitar on parmesan cream and black truffle which can be further strengthened if a superior quality truffle is added, but this would require a revision of the prices which in this place are crazy! Allow me a quick digression: starters from €3 to €5...and I won't add anything else. The rice (it was more of a risotto) with courgettes and courgette flowers was also interesting. The courgette flowers were barely noticeable. We then also continued with a good vitello tonnato and closed, I, with a good cheese board that accompanied me to finish the last glass of a 2020 Istrian Malvasia macerated by the Slovenian Čutor. A wine that I found well made, tending towards a citrus fruit which however is not yet oversized, therefore pleasant. In conclusion, an experience that I found special, certainly improvable perhaps in the greater "boost" that could be given to some dishes, but certainly the wine list, the value for money and the courage deserve praise.

Very good food - thank you very much!

Locale carino e personale gentilissimo, buona la scelta dei vini. Unica pecca è la quantità: per antipasto di salumi, a testa, 1 fetta di quattro tipi di salumi; in altro antipasto, porzioni minuscole; abbiamo gradito il dolce. Il prezzo non è stato esagerato, ma siamo usciti leggeri

The entire experience of the property made available to the customer. Respecting the Reggio Emilia tradition you can make more of a sensorial journey than a simple meal. Compliments.

Working lunch. Very quiet environment and very good cone. Very kind staff. Advised

It is necessary to say that it is not a trattoria, and for those who are used to dishes with generous portions, it is not the right place. I, who love the novelty of a dish I've never tasted, appreciated it. If desired, we can also provide you with vegetarian cuisine. They have a limited assortment, but the products are local and only seasonal Wide assortment of wines because they are also a wine shop. The choice was for a mixed house starter. A second course with fillet of aromatic herbs (if desired, there was also artichokes). And roast potatoes. Really delicious. Excellent desserts too.

I read reviews from many years ago, it's no longer there. He moved. Returning to the menu, it's there and so are the prices. They care more about quality than quantity. Being also a wine shop, a vast assortment of wines. There were two of us, we didn't take the first course, but the starter. Seasonal products, possibly local raw materials. The portions are not abundant. But the food is very good. The second course: "fillet with aromatic herbs" and "roasted potatoes". The desserts are delicious.

It was a dark day for me, but the owners were kind enough to make me smile again ☺️, my friend and I had a great time! Excellent cuisine!
