Il Chiattone In Castelforte

A family-run, homely osteria, simple like the old osterias of yesteryear. This small place almost feels like a family gathering. The owners, even if you don't know them, make you feel at home with their warmth and kindness. They're playful and engaging. The dishes are typically local, nothing fancy, just everything that was once homemade: onion omelette, pasta and chickpeas, bean soup, and much more. The wood-fired oven is open to the public, where you can admire everything being made with passion and love, truly simple and genuine. The only flaw is that it's a single, open space with no ventilation, so you leave the place with all the kitchen odors. This problem could be solved with a good extractor fan. Personally, I find it annoying, but that's most likely just my problem. Congratulations to everyone.

Quality raw materials... simple but well cooked menu... average prices

A typical family-run restaurant. Everything is made with local ingredients and traditional recipes, many dishes cooked in the open wood-fired oven...very generous. The staff is very friendly. The dining room is a bit small. The style is that of a classic, unpretentious osteria. Parking is available along the street (not too wide).

A quaint little restaurant in the area bordering the Aurunci Mountains. The food is excellent, and the welcome is perfect. It's wonderful to taste their dishes, which are original and delicious. I always enjoy going there.

This lovely little restaurant in Castelforte (LT) serves home-style cuisine and generous portions. Friendly staff and fast service. It's always busy every day of the week, with people coming and going. It only seats 40-50 people, but they're always packed. Highly recommended.

We had just purchased property in the area and we took 9 folks who helped us. All you can eat appies, two main dishes, lots of red wine, limoncello, grappa, and desert… not to mention serve and atmosphere to fall in love with, all under €250 and all delicious.

From the Chiattone excellent quality of cuisine and hospitality
