We loved it so much that we organized dinner there for our 25th wedding anniversary. The food was carefully prepared and high-quality, the service impeccable, the location charming, and the wine selection extensive. The staff was courteous and helpful. A huge thank you to Mr. Gino and his wife.

I went there with friends on a Saturday for lunch after visiting the palace.
I chose it because it was close by.
When we entered, Gino, the owner, welcomed us.
There were 12 of us, and we ordered two appetizers: a vegetable garden and a selection of cured meats; for the first courses: Gragnano paccheri with cod and cherry tomatoes, purple potato gnocchi with cheese and truffle, and ricotta ravioli with artichokes.
All washed down with a good rosé.
Homemade desserts.
What can I say? Everything was perfect, from the deliciousness and quality of the food to the helpfulness of the owner and staff.
Beautiful location.
Prices were reasonable.
Well done, Marilena, the chef we wanted to meet.
I recommend it.

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.

We discovered Gli Scacchi restaurant somewhat by chance and were more than happy and satisfied with our discovery. It's a truly elegant and classy place, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, and they truly manage to convey this passion to their customers. The food is delicious, with generous portions and distinctive local flavors. I highly recommend it, and we'll be back.
