Marotta Ristorante In Castel campagnano

Minimal location in every sense. Very courteous and knowledgeable staff whose crown jewel is Anna. Chef Domenico was very helpful and equally good and delighted us with excellent dishes, full of special preparations and local raw materials. Negative notes: the entrées were too "vegetable" and lacking in consistency. The desserts were good but not very sweet, in our opinion a little sugar was missing to end the meal in the best possible way. Best dish: the cod starter.

Lovely small and quiet restaurant located in an unsuspecting area. What perhaps is lacking in atmosphere (a bit sterile) is made up ten folds by the excellent staffs attention to detail. Each plate is very creative and delicious. The connection and appreciation to nature was greatly felt and appreciated! Will definitely return, next time with friends!

We were welcomed kindly...well-prepared room with 5 tables. We opted for a 7-course tasting menu....we were told that in the seven courses we could include some dishes with the white truffle from Molise. We decide to include one and order a glass of Brunello di Montalcino wine each. We are served less than a finger for each glass and I will attach the photo to give a better idea. Very good food with a lot of research into the vegetable part. Obviously after 10 minutes we had finished the drop of wine in our glass and the waitress poured us another half a finger each without us even asking. The super tasty dishes continue when towards the end you hear some waiters arguing in a room next door with a woman's voice above the others... quite embarrassing. Once the courses are finished with dessert and small pastries, I ask for the bill. I receive a bill charging 4 glasses of wine for 80 euros... without words. I don't like arguing in general, let alone in a place with a Michelin star. I pay and we leave, the very kind and polite chef comes to greet us and we go down the stairs. As we are about to leave the same waitress who served us runs after us saying that she had forgotten to charge 18 euros for the grated truffles on top of the egg... obviously I pay without saying a word and I go away shocked and disappointed not by the food but by a truly unprofessional management of the dining room staff and I write this because if we don't write it here that poor chef knows nothing about what happens in the dining room and will lose customers and reputation. I hope this serves to encourage the team to do better.

I could summarize this review in just one consideration: among all the restaurants I have had the opportunity to visit in the world, for the first time I have not had the opportunity to make a single criticism on a single dish that did not meet my taste. The chef, Domenico Marotta, does what every chef should do: use recognizable ingredients, enhance them and present a tasty dish without wanting to amaze at all costs, forgetting what good food is, which as the name suggests, must be good , first of all, before even appearing, fully succeeding. His dishes have traveled between starred cuisines, even reaching Asia (the references to Japanese cuisine are evident), and then returning to where it all began, at home: the flavor of memories (some gems cannot be found elsewhere), transformed into gourmet keys it is, in my opinion, the element that distinguishes it and the best cuisine possible. An exhilarating experience. The dining room staff is no exception, with an attention to certain details that I have rarely encountered in other restaurants. The wine list is extensive and curated, and the sommelier Anna is attentive and punctual in suggesting the perfect pairing. I rarely spend time on such detailed reviews, but this is one of those cases where it's really worth it. Compliments.

An enlightened simplicity combined with the genius and perfection of details. Perfect service. Congratulations, I wish you a great future and many well-deserved satisfactions with all my heart.

Positive experience in a welcoming and quiet place. Domenico Mariotta creates and composes refined, innovative, harmonious and tasty dishes, the result of his vision and creativity. In there you can certainly recognize his passion for local products but also refined Asian ideas, pleasantly combined. The Maitre and Sommelier Anna Coppola is also good at presenting the dishes and recommending excellent local wines and oils.
