Taverna Ducale In Crecchio

The cured meats are excellent, and the meatballs are exceptional, while the pasta dishes could be improved. Good tiramisu. Local wines. Informal and friendly service in a charming little town worth visiting. We'll be back for a feast of meatballs.

It's not 5 stars... since you show up in Bermuda shorts and a t-shirt... food 3.5

Discovered by chance, truly exceptional products and wonderful location, see you soon

Friendly host, good food. We come back every year when we're on vacation. You can never go wrong.

What you might call a pleasant surprise. We found ourselves at this little place, with no pretensions or expectations, just to grab a bite to eat with other people, but we left delighted by the deliciousness on offer. Nothing particularly creative, no strange recipes, just traditional dishes, simple but prepared with extreme care and with surprising results. As a vegetarian, I ate the "usual" pan-fried vegetables, but this was so good I could have eaten two more trays. The first courses, the cheeses, all excellent quality. Even the simple French fries on the side were superb. The almond paste and something else I can't remember were a pleasure for the palate. This little restaurant proves that you don't need to offer something innovative or different. Just cooking well is enough, and even a simple dish becomes a gourmet dish. And what about the "usual" grilled vegetables? Some simple zucchini seemed like food for the gods. The quality of the ingredients is unquestionable and is the basis of such deliciousness. Those who ate it said the meat was exceptionally delicious, as were the cured meats, all freshly prepared. The pecorino and mountain cheeses were carefully selected and had an extraordinary flavor. In short, congratulations to the family who runs this place. We'll definitely be back, especially for the "La Testa di Minchia" grappa, which is a fitting end to a truly exceptional meal.

A historic restaurant in the center of Crecchio, a charming, well-maintained ancient village with beautiful views. The restaurant is small (about 25 seats) and welcoming, resembling a medieval tavern. The dishes, excellent in quality and preparation, are often a blend of tradition and innovation. The wine list is good, with a wide selection, often without a significant markup. Service was slow (we visited on a busy day), but precise and attentive. Prices were average.

Excellent local food, nice and friendly staff, traditional location and beautiful historic center

Despite there being a social dinner in town and a considerable amount of work, they welcomed us into their tavern and served us (and handed us over) very quickly. Amazing first courses, quality cured meats.

The ingredients are top-quality, especially the high-mountain cheeses. Perfect dishes and reasonable prices. The ancient village of Crecchio is beautiful, and this restaurant's location in the city center is stunning. A must-see for anyone traveling in the area.

When it comes to excellent value, Taverna Ducale delivers even more. Excellent cuisine, with traditional delicacies and homemade pasta. The rustic atmosphere provides a beautiful setting when dining outside on the main street of the charming village of Crecchio. The owners are friendly and expertly help with the selection of dishes. The spaghetti alla chitarra with sausage, mushrooms, and saffron is special. The portions were generous. When the bill arrived, we were in disbelief at how little we'd spent. Prices this low are truly unheard of anywhere else.
