Excellent restaurant, refined cuisine, lovely owners who care deeply about their customer service and are meticulous about the ingredients! Highly recommended if you're in Casertavecchia.

Delicious dishes and friendly service made our evening complete.

Elegant and welcoming atmosphere. Very friendly staff, attentive to customer comfort. The manager is very kind. The dishes are very tasty and well-prepared. Highly recommended.

Walked a little further down the street from the palace and was so glad I did. Exceptional food made proudly and with love from local produce by very kind people. I miss it already

I've been to Gli Scacchi and found both the food and service truly excellent. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, and the staff is attentive and helpful. I highly recommend trying the "L'Orto" appetizer.

A very refined and well-kept venue. The owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable. The wine cellar is adequate for the restaurant's caliber, and the owner discreetly entertains guests, offering expert advice on dishes and wine pairings. A very pleasant evening. Highly recommended!

Friendly service, and the owner took the time to explain the menu to us. The food is incredible, the wine delicious.

Refined atmosphere with attention to detail. Excellent food. The very kind owners explain all the dishes to you, making you feel at home.

Excellent dinner with "old-fashioned" dishes: delicate flavors and zero-mile ingredients.

Immersed in a historical context of unusual charm, Gli Scacchi is located in a building that is most likely contemporary with the Royal Palace, in the adjacent area that at that time constituted the productive urban nucleus built on the edge of the Bourbon residence to ensure its self-sufficiency. Once you cross the threshold, you are greeted by a sober elegance: the light-colored plaster enhances the warm colors of the furnishings, while the exposed brickwork with a rustic character marries perfectly with the refined table linen and the light gilding of the furnishings. The lighting, distinct and clean, creates an intimate atmosphere without ever being invasive. For two, we enjoyed L'Orto (€16.50), a good appetizer in three courses; Mezzi paccheri di gragnano with cod, yellow cherry tomatoes from Veduvio, black olives from Caiazzano, raisins, pine nuts and capers (€15), exceptional; Steamed cod mussel on pepper cream and crusco pepper powder (€20), excellent; house dessert (€7), very good. All accompanied by an excellent Falanghina (€24). The owner, prepared and attentive, moves gracefully between the tables, demonstrating care for every need without ever exceeding the measure of discretion. In the kitchen, the chef reveals a deep knowledge of raw materials and a talent for reinventing traditional recipes or proposing modern creations with surprising taste. The result was a truly memorable evening, in which history, attention to detail and refined flavors merged into an excellent experience.
