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! ***

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!

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.
