Osteria del Mare già il Votapentole In Castiglione della pescaia

Well-kept place, kind and helpful staff, the dishes were as pictured... not only were they well presented, but they were also very good. 💯💯

Outstanding quality. Everything is homemade. The chef and his team are absolute professionals. Table reservations required!

Excellent culinary art Very good value for money

We first discovered this osteria through an article about the best restaurants in the Castiglione d'P. area. The reviews were absolutely rave, placing it second on the list. Our expectations were accordingly high. First of all, the restaurant did nothing wrong, and the wine list is so extensive that everyone can find the perfect drink. The ingredients were certainly all fresh. But that was it. In terms of taste, our four dishes were in the "quite OK" range. The same applies to the service. If you want a "normal" meal with a huge wine selection, you certainly can't go wrong here. However, we didn't notice any of the promised wow factor.

Truly excellent, the food is top-notch, but the real strength of this place is its extensive menu, catering to all tastes. Lots of tasty, expertly prepared dishes, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

An overly redundant and superfluous response... We arrived right on time, a few minutes early, in fact, and there was only one table occupied outside; no one had warned us we'd have to eat with a funnel! However, I believe improving management is helpful, beyond all the chit-chat. We dined outside one summer evening, tables very close together. The food was good: focaccia with porchetta di bonito, good cacciucco (fish soup), and a dessert, a chocolate cake, not particularly soft but rather dry. The staff is rather aloof and dry, but the most annoying thing is the rush they put on you: as soon as you're seated, without even giving you time to look at the menu, they're already rushing you to order. The only concern is getting you to eat quickly to free up the table. It's impossible to dine with a bit of a break: in short, if you urgently need two shifts, manage them better, without breathing down the necks of those who sit down to dine. Never again under these conditions!

The atmosphere is small and cozy, but when it's hot inside you can feel the air conditioning coming in, which isn't pleasant. The food, however, is good.

High prices for the quality of the food, rude and too hasty service

Ristorante nella norma, con un buon servizio sia da parte della cucina che da parte dei camerieri. Buono la padellata di pesce, pici al tonno con la sua bottarga gnocchi alla triglia buono anche il rapporto qualità/prezzo

Ristorante con varie sale, arredo moderno con quadri particolari, vini e oggetti curiosi alle pareti. Cucina tradizionale, con ottimo pesce e nota di merito al cacciucco. Bella scelta di vini, servizio attento e professionale. Prezzi giusti
