Ristorante Reale In Castel di sangro

As soon as you sit down, you know you're in a temple of fine dining! Niko Romito is a genius in the kitchen! His sister in the dining room is his right hand! One waiter, however, was particularly arrogant...and a three-star establishment can't afford that! A customer has the right to eat as many dishes as he wants...after all, we traveled 800 km...just for dinner! It's a shame...but I also understand that trained staff aren't easy to find! Still, one of the best three-star establishments ever! Worth the trip!

There are no words to describe this fantastic experience that you must try at least once in your life.

This experience was a once in a lifetime opportunity. We thoroughly enjoyed the adventure of going through the courses that were prepared for us during our meal. We did the Royal tasting with the wine pairing, and were not disappointed. Our favorite was the pepper and bread dish, but they all were above our expectations. Niko Romito was a wonderful host to our family, and was nice enough to allow pictures after our meal. Would love to come back to enjoy this experience again someday.

Reale is silence turned into taste. Chef Niko Rommito cooks as a monk would paint — with patience and purity. Each flavor feels distilled, truthful, alive. Thank you, Reale, for showing that perfection is not decoration but the quiet pursuit of truth on a plate

Always an adventure - the most brilliant chef anywhere.

An experience definitely worth trying, excellent food! Perfect pairings! Unique flavors.

Sublime Every time you come to this restaurant, you have a unique experience that stays with you for a long time. Chef Romito remains the number one in the Italian culinary scene. When you leave the restaurant, you already want to try it again as soon as possible...

I'd like to describe in words what I perceived and received from this place, and from the food, of course, which releases a strong and wonderful energy. What truly amazed me was the coherent union between the environment and the food, which fully captures the meaning of the word "well-being." The white, the emptiness, the space of the place allows you to appreciate the elements, gives you the time and attention to notice the beauty, just as on a plate you can clearly distinguish the food that stands out and take the time to fully savor the wonderful flavors and be amazed. Refinement, Elegance, Time, Details, Care, Inspiration, Beauty, Magic, Fragrances, Wonder, HAPPINESS. I'm posting photos of the dishes that most impressed me: the breadsticks, the mixed salad, the zucchini, the transformation of the fig leaves, the sage, the pepper absolute! A place to return to! I don't want to define it as an "experience" as something to do once and never again, just to try it. An intense and relaxing moment in which to abandon yourself with trust, a practice we can repeat to satisfy our spoiled... and beloved inner child! Thank you, see you next time! Letizia

Love, sacrifice, genius, and madness are just some of the ingredients needed to run a three-Michelin-star restaurant. The elegant, minimalist dining room welcomes you with a sober refinement that leaves full focus on the true protagonist: the dish, where technique and creativity interact without ever overdoing it. The tasting menu doesn't include an amuse-bouche; it begins directly with the first course. The oyster and chicory, the duck, and the pepper and bread are exceptional; the sheep's ricotta ravioli and onion absolute are memorable; the dessert is perfect, and the dark chocolate sorbet is breathtaking. The service is impeccable, discreet, and punctual; Francesca, who realized after the first course that I'm left-handed, always sets the table without following the rules, but with my comfort in mind. Reale is not just a place to dine, but an experience to remember, worth the trip.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience, inspiring poetry, dishes that, beyond the flavorful journey, amaze you with their sight, accompanied by wines whose aromas take you on a journey of imagination. Each course surprises, astonishes, inspires, and the location conveys the energy of times gone by, blending modernity and elegance, bringing antique objects, furnishings, and structures back to life with delightfully original solutions. The only discordant note in this impeccable setting is the waiters' and sommeliers' poorly maintained, sometimes wrinkled, uniforms, and shabby shoes.
