Ristorante Il Castello In Certaldo

Always delicious food and a beautiful view. Great place.

We had an evening meal there. We were staying elsewhere. Beautiful setting, gorgeous food and wine. The staff were also amazing and went out of their way to make sure we had a special evening. We will be back next year. Thank you very much 🙏🏻🤩☺️

Exceptional location with outstanding food and great service. The food deserves two stars! Beautiful views, good wines, and very good value for money.

Beautiful location and amazing food. We just walked in and Adela was so welcoming and friendly. We really cannot fault it, highly recommended!

Delicious food, beautiful view, and great service. Highly recommended!

I can only comment on the restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and dinner here. This is our favorite restaurant. We come here several times every holiday. The outdoor tables are pleasantly spaced, and there are always tables in the shade. The service ranges from friendly to formal. As far as I can tell, from trainee to professional. We do have a preference when it comes to service. The hostess is very professional and keeps a close eye on everything that's happening in the restaurant. Very hospitable and friendly, she speaks good English and even a little Dutch. She explains the food and drinks well. The kitchen prepares the dishes with great passion, and the presentation is excellent. A visit to the hotel is definitely something we'll make.

We really enjoyed the restaurant, very nice terrace and quality cuisine!

My girlfriend and I have road tripped across multiple cities in Italy and this restaurant was truly a highlight we remember fondly. Our first experience was so good, we had to come back a second day during our stay in Certaldo to eat here again. The food was well thought out, fast, and culinarily excellent. Both times we were served by Giovanni, the most remarkable waiter with the right mix of knowledge, humor and hospitality. If the food wasn’t enough reason, he made the whole experience an 11/10. We could not recommend this place enough. Anytime we’re in Tuscany, we WILL make the detour to have another meal here- and so should you. Ps. Please ask for Giovanni and give him our regards, you will not regret it.

A beautifully situated restaurant with excellent food and incredibly friendly service. We arrived on a Saturday evening without a reservation and were lucky that a couple hadn't shown up, so we got the best table at the edge of the terrace overlooking the lower town. The aperitifs, wines, and dishes—everything was perfect. We'll definitely be back. The prices are reasonable, not exorbitantly high.

The Il Castello restaurant in Certaldo Alto perfectly combines traditional Tuscan cuisine with modern techniques. I started with the gigli with guanciale, tomato, and pecorino: well-cooked pasta, a flavorful and balanced sauce, with a lovely contrast between the freshness of the tomato and the intensity of the guanciale. For my second course, the rostinciana CBT: impeccably cooked, the tender meat melts in your mouth, with a crispy, smoky crust that adds just the right amount of crispiness. I finished with a perfect crème brûlée: a thin, crispy surface that breaks with the spoon, revealing a smooth, aromatic cream. The service was courteous and attentive, and the location alone is worth the visit: breathtaking views of the Tuscan hills. An experience I recommend to anyone seeking quality, authenticity, and a touch of refinement.
