Il Casale dell'Osteria In Montalto di castro

Excellent appetizer and delicious soup, perfect service, just the right wait and nice atmosphere.

A beautiful rural location, right next to the entrance to the Vulci Archaeological and Naturalistic Park. The restaurant is rustic in style, with renovated furnishings: overall, the feeling is soothing and pleasant, thanks in part to the bright lighting. There are two large and comfortable dining rooms, without overcrowding. There's also an outdoor veranda, available—I believe—in spring and summer. The menu is very limited, but well-chosen to satisfy those seeking what one typically expects from this type of restaurant: home-style/traditional cuisine, revisited with a modern twist. Overall, the value for money is excellent: we ate very well. I had a vegetable bruschetta appetizer (three of them, excellent, not ordinary and gigantic, even excessive) and the porcini mushroom and chestnut soup (excellent, satisfying). My wife ate a third of my appetizer (which was still plentiful), then ordered the pork tenderloin with gorgonzola cream (excellent) and a side of escarole with olives and pine nuts (perfect: my wife absolutely praised it). To finish, we had biscotti and ciambelline with vin santo, mineral water, red wine (a decent ½ liter), and coffee, for a total of around €30 each. In the evening, they also serve pizzas, which the caretakers of the nearby Vulci Castle raved about. The service was friendly, cheerful, and very fast, with the restaurant about 40% full. The restrooms were easily accessible, even for wheelchair users, and were very clean. Attached is the full menu, where the number to the right of each dish is the price in euros.

We had the opportunity to try this little gem between Tuscany and Lazio for both lunch and dinner, and we ate wonderfully. Excellent quality, generous portions, and authentic flavors. I recommend the Florentine steak to everyone. Super friendly and welcoming staff and service. Highly recommended :)

Quiet and welcoming location. Friendly and helpful wait staff. Generous portions. Excellent quality food, although taste is obviously subjective. I recommend it.

We stopped by years ago for a quick sandwich, regretting not having time for lunch. This time, it was a Michelin-starred dinner! The porcini and chestnut soup has a unique flavor, probably the best I've ever had! And what can I say about the chard as a main course? The meat fell off the bone effortlessly, cooked to perfection! Special mention also goes to Fiorella, the kind and charming waitress who recommended an excellent wine and dessert, an incredible ricotta mousse. The order was taken by the smiling owner, who was also very kind in suggesting dishes! Perfect digestion despite the large portions! Thanks again and congratulations!!

It's always a pleasure to come and eat here.

This is my second time here, and I highly recommend it. It's family-run, with fast and attentive service. The food is very good, both the starters and main courses. It's spacious.

It's exactly like being at home, you're among family, a very welcoming place, and fantastic food. All the staff, without exception, are very attentive and friendly. Well done, highly recommended.

Very welcoming and pleasant, good and special dishes

Excellent menu featuring local produce, seasonal dishes (now, in October, don't miss the chestnut and porcini mushroom soup), delicious cured meats and bruschetta. Good main courses (the wild boar is delicious). Easy parking. Also perfect for lunch after visiting the magnificent Vulci archaeological and nature park!
