Ristorante Valentino In Castel san pietro terme

19/10/2024: The managers are welcoming, the food is excellent and cared for. The dessert trolley is their flagship!

17/09/2024: It was 2001 when we met Dante and Gabriella, partners in managing the restaurant inside the splendid 18th century frescoed villa. surrounded by majestic evergreen conifers at least 200 years old. We got married there and, since that day, we have spent every event or anniversary at Villa Orsi, aware of the quality of the food and the owners' love for their work; Grandparents' 60th anniversary, children's baptism, grandmother's 90th birthday, Valentine's Day, Christmas... the location is splendid! Dante is an exquisite person and now part of the family. Furthermore, it is a refined palate ready to include dishes that excellently combine the Bolognese tradition with delicious current choices in the daily menu. One year he surprised us with some magnificent “cardinal balanzoni” with saffron and bacon: unforgettable. Elegance and finesse distinguish the "mise en place"; a table setting with fine tablecloths and porcelain that will not disfigure even on the most prestigious occasions. All this is also combined with informal lunches where you can be casual and at ease, a truly rare characteristic. There is the possibility of organizing ceremonies outdoors (the park is magnificent and well-kept) or indoors on the upper floors or you can use a beautiful oval room, also frescoed, which is located on the ground floor and overlooks the park (which for "historical" reasons is not conditioned in summer); we used all three options, based on the occasion and the number of participants. The formula whereby you only pay for the restaurant per person and not the rent of the villa should be kept in mind; advantageous but not exclusive. There is access for disabled people at the back of the villa where you can park right next to the rear entrance, avoiding the monumental staircase in front of the beautiful front facade. Inside, an elevator will take you to the 1st floor for the cloakroom and to the 2nd floor to the restaurant. I recommend taking the staircase on foot to enjoy the beauty of the villa.
