SantoPalato In Casteggio

We weren't familiar with the place. We relied on the reviews provided by other users and were very satisfied. The chef is very friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable. The wait staff is very kind and discreet. The dishes are exquisite. I recommend them!

We were passing through a comic book convention and decided to eat at this restaurant. The chef describes the entire menu in detail, even detailing the provenance of the ingredients. I really appreciate this kind of welcome, because seeing someone so knowledgeable and passionate makes me want to eat. I wasn't particularly hungry, but after the best tripe of my life, I thought to myself, "This is too good, let's try something else." So for my main course, I ordered a duck dish. I can't describe how the chef prepared it, but I think I could have eaten it until I was sick. I can only say that it was one of the best restaurant experiences of my life. I paid the bill, happy to have had this experience. It's a shame we're so far away, but considering how I ate here, I'll definitely drive an hour and a half. My sincerest compliments, chef.

If you're looking for typical Italian cuisine, move on. However, the chef revisits the classics with innovation and passion, and that's worth 5 stars...

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.

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.

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

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.
