Rosticceria Il Re Gallo In Castellina in chianti

evening at Osteria Il Re Gallo, Castellina in Chianti Our afternoon stroll through the picturesque town of Castellina in Chianti, which was supposed to end with ice cream, unexpectedly led us to Osteria Il Re Gallo. 🍝 It was almost 7 p.m., the perfect time for dinner, so after a long walk we started looking for a place where we could eat something. In tourist towns, where crowds of people wander the streets, we usually choose restaurants in more secluded places. Reason? Our dog, who is a bit anxious, feels better in quieter areas. Do you know this? 🐾 This time we chose Osteria, whose tables were located on the corner of the street, right next to the park. We looked inside to see if we could eat something without making a reservation. Fortunately, even though the restaurant didn't open until 30 minutes later, i.e. at 7:30 p.m., we managed to get a table for two people (plus a dog). At the appointed time we sat down to dinner. The first surprise - the girl serving us spoke a little Polish, which was a nice surprise. It turned out that she grew up in the Czech Republic. We ordered dishes from the menu, and of course house wine - but tempted by the recommendation of our caregiver, we first tried tortellini with truffles. What a delight for the palate it was! 😋 Then the pasta was served. The dishes were not only tasty, but also served at the perfect time - the staff was smiling all the time and ready to help. And an interesting fact. During dinner, overhearing the conversation of an American family at a neighboring table, we learned that the wine list includes a unique red Chianti called "Super Toscana", which is a favorite among guests from the USA. Sounds interesting, right? 🍷 And one more thing - in the name of Osteria Il Gallo - it means a rooster. YES, the one in the glass and found throughout the Chianti region as a symbol of the region. ℹ️ Practical information • Reservation: Regardless of the day of the week, it is worth it reserve a table. 📅 This is a city visited often by tourists • Prices: Dishes from 8 to 25 Euro.

RE Gallo is the FLAGSHIP to enjoy the traditional cuisine of the Chianti hills!!!... a must stop.... level of pleasure for the palate: 10 and praise!!... Thanks to all of you...👍🏻🌟

We had dinner at this place, very very good. Excellent Chianti tuna (pork) served in a fake tuna can. Excellent first courses, both the ravioli with fresh tomato and the paccheri with red pesto. The dessert was excellent, mandarin sorbet with wafer on top. The only flaw, we were with two little dogs and therefore we were at the last outside table which was near a rubbish bin. Anyway, everything was excellent, we'll be back!

Very atmospheric place in Italian style, delicious food, very nice service. I recommend it ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent restaurant! I advise you not to eat in the morning to devour several dishes from this incredible menu. Everything is homemade and the desserts are of very, very high quality (words from a lover of good food who does not hesitate to leave very bad reviews). A big favorite with the lamb chops, the piglet, and the tangerine sorbet. The strategy consists of starting with a pasta dish interspersed with a tasty and slightly sweet chianti, then moving on to a good meat with confit potatoes. I couldn't even walk by the end of the meal, but I don't regret anything. Unavoidable ! Be careful, remember to book or arrive as soon as it opens because places are rare!

VERY DELICIOUS FOOD IN A SUPER COZY LOCATION. THE SERVICE IS SUPER FRIENDLY. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

Abbiamo scelto questo locale x le recensioni lette ed effettivamente ne è valsa la pena .. Il locale è situato nella piazza in alto di Castellina in Chianti molto bella ed arieggiata . Abbiamo ordinato pappardelle di cinghiale, picci al ragù di Re Gallo e melanzane alla parmigiana... un piatto più buono dell'altro ma la vera regina è stata la bistecca ( fiorentina )con le patate al forno ...si scioglieva in bocca... ovviamente accompagnata da un ottimo vino consigliato da cameriere, molto preparato e gentile... stavo dimenticando il tiramisù fatto con i pavesini ...troppo buono Per quanto riguarda il conto direi che è stato giusto per la qualità e quantità di cibo preso... Ve lo consiglio

Locale molto suggestivo ci sono bottiglie di vino dappertutto. Il cibo è ottimo e il personale è cordiale. Ci tornerei molto volentieri!
