La Capannina Osteria Bar In Castel gandolfo

Lake view, excellent food, fair prices...but my thank you is for the meat...good, very good, I don't know...thank you!!

Welcoming place, very good table service, very friendly waiter with glasses, we will gladly return soon

A charming place with a lake view, excellent food and service. The staff were very friendly, especially Bastian and Lucrezia, who were very friendly and respectful towards their customers. This restaurant is excellent for a simple lunch with friends. We'll definitely be back.

Visited on Wednesday, so it was a very quiet day with very few customers. I had a platter with an aperitif, which was all good. Beautiful location on the lakeside.

We ordered a medium-rare steak for my daughter. It was served as requested, but my daughter liked it more. We asked for it to be grilled again to cook it longer, and they obliged with a fresh portion, cooked to perfection, without adding it to the final bill. This gesture was greatly appreciated, and Da Paolo alla Capannina deserves 5 stars and more. A very kind gesture and much appreciated. Otherwise, everything was delicious, served with extreme kindness. Well done, we'll see you again soon!

Good food, very friendly waiters. The place is noisy.

Had a family dinner, ordering a cacio e pepe, a porchetta platter, a pork butcher's platter, a baby cutlet platter, and a hamburger platter. Everything was good, but it's a shame that by 8:30 PM, both the arrosticini and the honey to accompany the cheeses had run out.

Well, I was having a coffee at the counter, and the very kind guy who served it told me 1.20 when I asked how much it was. So I was paying when this gentleman came over and scolded him because the price wasn't that high. Then he told me it was 1.30 for me. It didn't make much difference to me, but put like that, his attitude might seem rude. And that's always what, as far as I'm concerned, makes or breaks a place and makes me come back (or not). It probably wasn't anything personal, and he didn't mean to offend: I certainly don't take it personally. (By the way, right in the center of Rome, for example on Via del Babuino, a coffee still costs 1.10: do they think they're the Craccos of coffee? Because they served it to me in a paper cup, and it wasn't historic at all.) In any case, a discussion like this in front of a customer having a coffee seems out of place. They might have the most authentic ham in the area, but for me, that's a no-no because service, during a vacation hour when you want to forget your worries, is everything. Even the walls are painted with polemics about the price of bread and the fact that customers shouldn't ask for empty rolls, which, if you absolutely can't do without them, cost 2 euros: just charge whatever price you want, right? Sure, it's rude to go there and ask for empty rolls, but the place could easily be mistaken for a baker/delicatessen, given the glass counter and the cold in which the drinks are served at the counter (outdoors, like the coffee, which they didn't bother to even choke on). I'm giving it 2 stars so as not to sound mean.

I understand that there are many extenuating circumstances on August 15th, and that keeps me from giving it a star, but waiting more than two hours for some mozzarella and prosciutto and four plates of pasta is too much. The dishes were good enough, but the kitchen's time was completely inadequate. Disorganized!

Excellent restaurant located on the lake of Castel Gandolfo with large sliding windows, excellent food and service, worth trying and then returning.
