SantoPalato In Casteggio

Found it in a hurry online, as we were passing through. At first, we felt like we were in the wrong place with our little girl. In short, it wasn't what I was looking for. But after the first impression, I have to say I had to change my mind and was amazed by everything. The owner seems grumpy, but instead he was very sweet and kind, even recommending something suitable for my two-year-old daughter, since the menu isn't very varied and perhaps a little unusual for children. All the dishes were delicious, with new flavors, sophisticated combinations, and appropriate portions. The only thing that bothers me is the initial welcome, and perhaps a paper menu would have been more welcome than the blackboard brought to the table. The prices were reasonable, except for the coffee 🤣. I recommend it and will return with friends to try other amazing dishes.

We received a very warm welcome from the restaurant manager, who presented the menu in detail. The menu was quite attractive, and the dining room was pleasant. The food was good, but the prices were far too high considering the value of the ingredients on the plate. There are better value options in the region. We paid €65 for two pasta dishes with ragu and two small desserts with two glasses of wine; it didn't make sense.

Excellent lunch, with menu explanations provided directly by the chef, and a special focus on the local area. A good selection of local wines.

Chosen because the menu on social media looked unique, and given our intense curiosity, we found ourselves celebrating an important holiday (arriving on a Vespa), in a family atmosphere with chef Massimiliano, who immediately put us at ease. His meticulous explanation of the passionately crafted menu piqued our curiosity and encouraged us to try several dishes. We chose the endive with guacamole, the vegetarian gyoza 🥟, the Piedmontese sushi 🍣, and the rabbit kushiyaki. While we waited, the chef treated us to his salted suckling pig with hazelnut oil (super delicious). I found reinterpretations of dishes that blend Eastern and Western elements that please both the eye and the palate, effectively allowing us to try new combinations and flavors. All accompanied by excellent Buttafuoco "Verdi." The price is commensurate with the experience, I don't understand criticisms about the bill, considering that the restaurant is not in competition with Turkish kebab, pizzerias and trattorias... Top.

Great food and service. Very tasty

Everything thought and cared for with burning passion….. everything, every little detail has the taste of home. Every refined flavor is dedicated to those who are lucky enough to experience a dinner at the Santo Palato restaurant in Casteggio. Thank you for the welcome, I will certainly return.

A discovery of delicate, unique, quality flavors that blend perfectly with each other. Refined and truly delicious dishes, an explosion of delight for the eyes and palate. Very welcoming staff, always available and the service is fast. Comfortable and clean environment. Highly recommended for those who want to eat well to discover new sensations in flavors.

Everything was very good but for me too expensive and with little choice on the menu because it changes often.

Third time in this place in Casteggio. Excellent products with attention to the territory. The menu, told on a beautiful blackboard, then carefully detailed by the owner, presents a choice between three starters, three first courses, three second courses (meat), three desserts. The dishes offered are well presented and cared for. I recommend it for meat lovers. The service

The service, the cuisine, the hospitality all at the TOP level!
