Pizzando In Bracciano

13/04/2026: I was there on Easter Sunday, my second time. Highly recommended outside of the holidays. The view is superb, overlooking Lake Castel Gandolfo. The restaurant is spread across several floors, with several rooms, each with very refined details in the decor. The staff were very welcoming, attentive to every request; everyone was very friendly and kind. The à la carte menu included a mixed antipasto, with a superb cacio e pepe mussel soup. First course: spaghetti with beetroot, overcooked, with meat ragù, non-existent. First course: homemade fettuccine, bought with gelatine dough, with seafood, and with lobster and various shellfish, decent. Second course: grilled fillet, perhaps a tough sirloin full of sinew, with a good cheese sauce. Second course: fried fish, soft and very greasy. Desserts: the chocolate sphere, too sweet for my taste; the column, made with white chocolate and filled with a coffee paste, excellent; the limoncello sorbet was decent, but I don't think it was homemade. The wine list was well-stocked, although I'm no expert. For a meal that wasn't the best, €80 per person seems a bit excessive. I'm sorry to say that if it were my first time there, I wouldn't have returned.

12/04/2026: We went for lunch and I have to say we had a great time. The place was very scenic, the food was good, and the service was good. We'll be back. I recommend it.
