Leon D'Oro In Casteggio

Tour of Oltrepo' wineries with dear friends. Recommended by a winery manager, we sat down at the Leon d'Oro, welcomed by the friendliness of Marco, the owner, to taste typical local dishes, cooked by Marco's mother with the exquisite attention to detail typical of a completely home-cooked meal. Dishes were accompanied by local wines, recommended by the owner. Desserts to be careful of... A negative note was the lack of a menu listing prices and any allergens, as the dishes were only presented verbally. As a result, we were "disappointed" when it came to paying, as Marco quoted a "flat rate" and had not received a bill listing the prices of the individual courses and wines consumed. Marco. ...take care of it...

Remember those old Sunday lunches at your grandmother's? Leon D'oro will bring back those memories. Authentic and fresh ingredients, everything homemade, and a respectable wine selection. 5*, well-deserved!

Food ok service ok, no invoice no receipt price a bit out of line. 140 euros for 2 tastings and a risotto. Food is ok service is ok the price was randum and no tecipet I don't know what did I pay for?

Excellent cuisine, family-run, home-cooked flavors! Homemade pasta, excellent sauces and main courses. Perfect Oltrepò wine pairing. Excellent coffee too!

Also prepares gluten-free dishes

We went there today, August 15, 2025, where you know you spend a lot and eat badly... Wrong!!!!!! We ate very well and it was a wonderful surprise, homemade food and a family atmosphere... like being at home with lots of friends! A special thank you, Marco, for advising me on the right wine, based on an excellent selection of wines!!!!! Highly recommended place... I will definitely be back!

Top restaurant. Excellent food and wine. Highly recommended.

A very family-friendly place, with friendly and helpful staff. The food is excellent (the cured meats are homemade and spectacular), and the portions are more than generous. A must-try if you're passing through.

Nella mia rubrica ha salvato qualche trattoria/ristorante/osteria, come posti del ♥️, cioè posti dove sono stato bene, in tutti i sensi. Meno di dieci, su centinaia che conosco, dopo 35 anni che giro l’Italia (per me quindi un punteggio prezioso!). E voi eravate in questa classifica. Esattamente un anno fa però, anzi 11 mesi perché era agosto, ho preso a pranzo le stesse identiche cose di oggi (ravioli di stufato e vitello tonnato, con due bicchieri di Bonarda della casa) e spesi € 30,00. Oggi € 37,00! Ti do il massimo punteggio, anche se per qualcuno magari potrebbe essere troppo, perché non è solo la qualità che considero in un locale, ma l’atmosfera complessiva, conviviale, allegra, amichevole, serena. E in questo siete super! Ma francamente 37€ per un normale pranzo in un qualsiasi giorno feriale, e soprattutto un aumento assolutamente non giustificato, in meno di un anno, del 23%, mi sembra davvero eccessivo. Tieni le 5 stelle, ma la fregatura non è assolutamente contemplata nei posti del cuore. Che delusione 😞 💔 Non tornerò più 🤷🏻

Locale tranquillo con personale simpatico e piacevolmente fuori di testa. Il cibo ottimo, peccato che ti snocciolano le portate a voce, senza uno straccio di menù con i prezzi. Alla fine due antipasti, due primi e due bicchieri di vino 70 €
