04/11/2024: Mi sono recato in questa fantastica trattoria assieme alla mia fidanzata durante il nostro soggiorno a Castelforte. Il locale sorge proprio sulla strada provinciale diretta in paese ed e' costruito su due piane, composti da diverse sale. La cucina offre i tipici piatti della tradizione locale, tutti davvero eccezionali: consiglio vivamente di iniziare con un ottimo Antipasto Misto Bacchettone e Zazza, ricco di salumi, formaggi, fagioli, ceci, parmigiana di melanzane e ogni altro ben di Dio. Proseguite poi con dei fantastici primi, tra cui spiccano i Ravioli Speck e Provola all'Amatriciana e gli Gnocchi ai Porcini con Formaggio. Innaffiate il tutto con una bella bottiglia di Aglianico locale e passerete senza dubbio una fantastica serata. Personale gentile e disponibile, prezzi decisamente nella media e abbordabili, cucina da urlo: in sintesi ASSOLUTAMENTE CONSIGLIATO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
01/07/2024: NEW REVIEW: THEY HAVE GONE FROM 1 STAR TO 5. SO GOOD!!!
A second opportunity, if you are in good faith, must always be granted there. This is my motto that paid me back in full last night. Despite my bad previous experience (the first review is at the bottom of the text) I decided to try dining at Bacchettone e Zazzà again. Good choice! Booked at 4.40pm and arrived at the venue at 8.30pm on Sunday. The owner welcomes us and immediately puts us at ease by giving us an excellent outdoor table. We ordered first courses and then two types of meat to put in the center plus the side dishes. Very fast waiting times. Generous portions and excellent product quality. The staff always helpful and kind. Right atmosphere. We were surprised by the small welcome gift sent by the owner. SUPER PRICES and for all budgets. The owner, if you are lucky enough to be 'recommended' by him, easily understands your desires. In short, I was happy to change my mind. My wife 'ordered' me to change my review. THANK YOU FRANCESCO (the owner) FOR PAMPERING US!!! Highly recommended, but I suggest you book 😉
What a disappointment!!! I traveled 100km to go and eat at a bigot and zazzà, on the advice of a friend of mine from Formia, I arrive with my wife and little girl at 7.49pm. The place is empty, the waiter, intent on washing the floor, with great embarrassment, tells me that it is still early, I point out to him that I come from afar and that I am with a little girl and that perhaps we could have freed up the table quickly. At this point, he tells me "ok, I'll ask the owner...". Obviously, having no scruples, the manager, without even revealing himself, sends me to say that he can't seat us because I haven't booked. THE PLACE IS EMPTY, THEY DIDN'T LET US SEAT, EVEN INSIDE. If this is the attention they have for customers, I imagine how they would have treated us with the place full!!!
