I'd been wanting to try some dishes for a while, and we finally got around to it.
A small restaurant in a village alley, welcoming you with a simple yet effective atmosphere.
The dishes and wine selection are excellent. The kitchen is bold in its contrasts, yet delicate in its preparation of game and strong-flavored meats.
Don't forget the desserts: milk and biscuits, a true delight.
The first course (of many) was delicious. Well done, guys.

Quirky, but one of those places you go once and never go back.
The food is high-quality, the dishes are carefully prepared, and have a unique flavor. (Although the servings are minimal for the prices.)
This place is located downstairs, and you have to climb some stairs in the historic center (not wheelchair accessible).
They don't serve beer (of any kind).
They don't have Coke (but a cola very similar to the discount ones, albeit Italian.)
If you don't like wine, you'll have to settle for water.
The photos I'm posting are of a €50 per person menu with water included (only one dish is missing, from the appetizer).
We received a discount for orders over €10.

I went to La Bottega dell’Artista today and was truly thrilled.
A well-kept, warm, and welcoming place, where you can feel the love for cooking and attention to detail.
The appetizers were the real surprise: creative, rich, and carefully crafted with great balance.
In particular, "Autumn on the Plate": an explosion of enveloping, seasonal flavors, presented with an aesthetic that alone is worth the visit.
Friendly and knowledgeable service, well-timed, and a relaxing atmosphere.
You can sense the passion of those who work with heart and soul.
My compliments: a cuisine that excites and leaves an indelible mark.
I will definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a different and authentic experience. 👏

We had a fantastic meal tonight at La Bottega Dell'Artista, a hidden restaurant in the village of Castelforte. The shrimp with lardo, carbonara (the best we've had on our Italian tour so far), and the pork belly in Marsala sauce and fig were especially amazing. Dell'Artista is an absolute must-try for anyone who enjoys good food at reasonable prices.

An almost home-restaurant experience. Simple yet refined food, attention to detail, and niche wines. Approved 👌
