La Taverna del Castello In Fiuggi

Dinner with friends My friend booked well in advance warning that one of the guests has celiac. Nowadays not having even a packet of gluten-free crackers at the table is ridiculous. Not to mention a proper pasta or dessert on the side. We order 2 courgette carpaccio, which then becomes 3. They warn us that there are only two, or rather not even one. A diner orders broccoli Never arrived Once a chocolate cake, then they tell us that it's finished. Three of us order a Neapolitan dessert, a sort of Maritozzo with cream. We ask for forks and knives to eat it. They categorically deny us cutlery because "they are desserts that you eat with your hands". The result is that our hands are dirty and sticky and we are annoyed by the stubbornness with which we are refused cutlery. But once upon a time "the customer wasn't always right"? The waitress, one of the two, is brazen and disrespectful At a certain point he comes and closes the window noisily to make us understand that we have to leave. But it's only 11pm!! We try to stay and have a chat but the innkeeper arrives... He tells us: is everything okay???? As if to say.....it's time to go. Very nice place, good food but absolutely negative staff resulting in poor and embarrassing service

We went with friends who are well known to the owners, and I understand why they choose to eat here. The restaurant is delightful, hidden away in the historic centre. The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu is simple and the food excellent: good ingredients well prepared. Highly recommended.

We returned with great pleasure to this truly unique restaurant. Very nice location, compact menu and very attentive and kind staff. Genuine and tasty dishes. Really excellent lamb on the grill. Absolutely recommended!

Siamo tornati a mangiare in questo ristorante dopo tanti anni e ne è valsa la pena. Curato nei minimi particolari è un angolo di storia all'interno del centro storico. Ci sono anche tavoli esterni, ottima soluzione nella stagione giusta. La cucina è carica di gusto e ben assortita con funghi, pancetta, ottimi formaggi, salumi, carni e contorni di stagione... Tra i dolci: fantastico il tiramisù con fondo di amaretti imbevuti di caffè... Servizio simpatico e informale.

Truly an experience, discovered by chance we came to try it and we were really impressed everything was delicious, Valerio professional and courteous welcomed us and advised us, we will definitely be back

Rustic place in old Fiuggi, excellent cheese and porcini fondue

Truly spectacular Sunday lunch Everything really good, I recommend this place as it was recommended to me. Really good food from starters to desserts. Honorable mention for the fondue with porcini mushrooms which was truly amazing

Place located in the historic center of Fiuggi, reachable on foot after parking the car outside the historic center (not even 5 minutes on foot). The place is very clean, well looked after and heated well and above all it shows you its typical nature. They have enough seating, but I still recommend booking before coming. To eat we took a platter for 3 people which included buffalo mozzarella, porchetta, cured meats, couple, raw ham, bruschetta with cherry tomatoes, seasoned pecorino, ricotta and olives and it was all good, quality within the norm. As a first course I had some artisanal pasta with game sauce which I personally didn't like, the sauce was also good (venison), but what ruined it was too much parsley put on top (I would really avoid putting it) and that was all you could taste, a shame because the sauce and the pasta when you took a few pieces without parsley were very good. I then also tasted the carbonara with mushrooms which was good only the egg was a little cooked, there was some oil and the bacon was not noticeable but overall it wasn't bad. However, the homemade pasta with rosemary and almonds was delicious, really good. For the second course I took a pork shank Cesanese style which was really delicious, perfectly cooked, the meat fell away from the bone and was almost crunchy on the outside, compliments it was amazing and together with the shank I took some baked potatoes which were really good. I also tasted a small piece of the cut, but I didn't like it very much, it was a little burnt on the outside and I generally prefer it when it is brought onto a plate rather than on the hot stone which continues to cook it. I also tasted a small piece of pistachio semifreddo and it was very good. The service was carried out in excellent times and above all very kind, especially Pierantonio the very nice and kind owner. As a final score out of 10 I feel like giving an 8, shame about the first one otherwise it would have been a full 9. Highly recommended place that maintains tradition, there were places like this everywhere.

the very nice environment with all the stone walls typical of the ancient village of Fiuggi, welcoming and attentive staff, who stop by every minute to check if everything is ok. Good, well-prepared dishes, the pasta arrives piping hot... to be recommended

Siamo stati lì lo scorso weekend ed è stata una splendida esperienza. Abbiamo mangiato divinamente degli ottimi piatti preparati in maniera impeccabile, ambiente meraviglioso e caratteristico, unica nota leggermente negativa è la rapidità del servizio, troppo veloce tra una pietanza e l’altra infatti abbiamo dovuto avvisare di aspettare tra una pietanza e l’altra ma purtroppo non è stato fatto. Ma ci ritornerei sicuramente anche domani
