Osteria del Grillo In Castro dei volsci

A spacious and welcoming restaurant with indoor and outdoor tables (perfect in summer). The menu includes pizzas, as well as traditional Ciociaria dishes like "fini fini" (a type of pizza) and now-rare dishes like tripe with tomato sauce and mutton with tomato sauce (a favorite among us). Fast service and fair prices.

I had a lovely evening, good pizzas, well cooked, well seasoned and digestible, i.e. without the bloating effect, the grillo and amatriciana were really good, fast and courteous service, well-kept premises, clean facilities.

The place looks lovely and the staff were very nice. But we did get the overall feeling that we were an inconvenience, maybe because we didn't make a reservation?! Google says open at 6, and we made our way in at 6.45, to be told that food orders don't start until after 7. We were happy with this, we were perfectly ok to have a drink and wait until after 7pm. 7pm came and went, and nobody came to give us a table, so by 7.30 I went to find a member of staff. We would have been happy to take our food away, had our lack of reservation been an issue.The pizza was a bit too crunchy for our liking, and impossible to cut with a steak knife. The lamb was tough. Having said that we were starving so ate it all. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the place, but it is convenient for the Area Sosta Camper.

Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food, superb meat.
