ITA🇮🇹 [EN 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Following] ▪LOCATION: Rating 8/10 The restaurant is located in the heart of Caserta, in an elegantly modernized stone building. It's 300 meters from the center and within walking distance of the Royal Palace. It's not possible to arrive by car because it's in a restricted traffic zone; we recommend parking first. ▪SERVICE and STAFF: Rating 10/10. The super friendly owner exudes a love for local culinary traditions. The service is impeccable, from the cleanliness of the glasses and plates to the attention to the table, and finally the promptness of the service. A silverware is never missing, and you can sense incredible customer care. ▪RESTAURANT - FOOD & DRINKS: Rating 9/10. The traditional Campania dishes, revisited with a modern twist, are very tasty and showcase all the local flavors. We ate (i) the four garden appetizers, with parmigiana, an escarole flan, a chestnut shortcrust pastry with lentils and celery, and a shortcrust pastry with spinach and chard. Truly special! (iii) A pacchero pasta with swordfish, olives, pine nuts, Vesuvius cherry tomatoes, and raisins, very good. (ii) And a buffalo mozzarella stew that was a spectacle! ▪PRICE: 9/10: The price is reasonable, and you can tell the place is very well-kept. Even the bathrooms are super clean and meticulously maintained. ▪AMBIENCE, ATMOSPHERE, DESIGN: 10/10. The place is very well-kept, from elegance to cleanliness. The place features very pompous eighteenth-century frames as well as the chandeliers, harmoniously mixed with modern minimal tables and chairs. Adequate background music, very quiet room, with a perfect temperature. Light blue, golden, stone and jute colours. --------------------------------------- EN ▪LOCATION: Score 8/10 The restaurant is located in the heart of Caserta, in an elegantly modernized stone building. 300 m from the center and a short distance from the Royal Palace (Reggia di Caserta).

When history and haute cuisine meet We chose Gli Scacchi restaurant for our New Year's Eve dinner, and it was a fortuitous but absolutely perfect choice! The location is simply stunning: an elegant and refined setting inside an eighteenth-century building that was once part of the stables of the Royal Palace of Caserta. More recently, the building also served as a theater studio for the Servillo family, adding further cultural charm to the venue. The atmosphere is intimate, elegant, and tranquil, perfect for enjoying a special evening without the hustle and bustle. The attention to detail is immediately apparent: the table setting is meticulously designed, and the dishes are prepared with remarkable mastery. We enjoyed a seafood dinner with truly exquisite dishes, prepared with top-quality ingredients and meticulously presented. Each course was a small masterpiece, both for the palate and the eyes. The welcome was warm and genuine: Gino, the owner and cellar master, and his wife, the chef and kitchen manager, made us feel like special guests. Their passion and dedication shine through in every aspect of their service. If you're planning a vacation in Caserta, in addition to the Royal Palace, Gli Scacchi is also definitely worth a visit. A top-notch gastronomic experience! *** Highly recommended! *** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Welcoming and elegant venue The owner is friendly and knowledgeable about wines and good local food. We had a lovely evening!

A New Year's Eve lunch of the highest quality. Each dish was prepared with top-quality ingredients and prepared with exceptional wines.

I went to this restaurant alone and immediately felt at home. The staff was kind and welcoming, never making me feel "out of place." The service was attentive yet simple, the atmosphere relaxed, and the friendly atmosphere truly makes all the difference. A place I'd love to return to!

We found this very pleasant little restaurant by chance, since it's next to our B&B. An unusual but exquisite menu. Attentive and impeccable service. A delightful atmosphere. If we ever return to Caserta, we'll definitely return to Gli Scacchi. Thank you!
