12/10/2025: Beautiful setting and ample parking, but the portions and maintenance of the grounds could be improved.
Il Castellaccio is a location that offers undeniable logistical advantages. The very large parking lot is an exceptional strength, making access extremely convenient. Furthermore, the service was attentive and professional.
However, the rating is limited to 4 stars due to some critical issues. First, the grounds, although extensive, needed greater care and attention in the management and pruning of the plants. The small plates left on the ground for "beautification" were a constant hazard for children who are very distracted while playing.
The second aspect concerns the culinary experience: while the quality was good as always, we noticed that the portions of the dishes were not particularly generous. This left us feeling dissatisfied, as we had hoped for greater generosity. The flavors (in my experience) were just right.
In short, the facility has great potential, highlighted by the service and convenient parking. To reach a higher level, greater effort is needed in exterior aesthetic maintenance and, above all, a better balance between the quality and quantity of the dishes served. This is my opinion.
29/09/2025: We celebrated my son's first communion lunch at this beautiful restaurant yesterday, Sunday, September 28th.
Everything was perfect: from the aperitif, held in the beautiful and meticulously maintained, elegant, and slightly shabby chic garden, to the lunch inside the restaurant.
The owner, Stefania, took care of everything with great kindness and professionalism. The dining table was very elegant and had a beautiful centerpiece of fresh flowers, and the table for the favors and confetti was beautifully presented! Since the weather was a bit unpredictable over the past week, we spoke several times to decide how best to organize everything, and I must say, it turned out to be a wonderful festive lunch! All our relatives complimented us on the location, on the kind people who looked after us, and above all on the menu. The food was excellent, high-quality, and just the right amount!
I'd like to extend a special thank you to Stefania, because at the end of the party, my very elderly aunt fell, and she promptly arrived with a first aid kit and ice pack to help us care for her as best we could (such support is not a given).
In short, I highly recommend her for organizing a party or important event because it will surely be unforgettable! Thanks again for the wonderful party!
