I migliori ristorantinella città Castel gandolfo della Roma

23/01/2026: 2 stars just for the lake view. Supermarket-quality cured meats and cheeses, a bold gricia made with smoked guanciale (literally rubber) and onion, doesn't even make Roman cuisine a failed experiment. I would have made it better with stumps instead of hands. The waiter didn't even finish half the appetizer before bringing the first course. I understand that on a Wednesday night you don't want to stay late for work, but he doesn't do that either. As soon as we left the restaurant, they literally closed the shutters behind us. Truly disappointing, I won't go back even by mistake.

21/01/2026: This is our must-visit whenever we venture from Rome to the castles. Whether it's a sunny day or a cold winter's day, you can always eat here and feel comfortable. The staff, with their friendliness and helpfulness, contributes to a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. The quality of the food is always excellent, with dishes to satisfy every palate. Furthermore, from the tables you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the lake, a panorama that makes the experience even more pleasant and relaxing. In short, you really feel at home here.

12/01/2026: Located on the lake. Castelgandolfo is a nice place, welcoming staff, excellent food, especially the à la carte, on Saturday evenings, engaging live music, beautiful evenings

01/01/2026: We dined on the evening of December 28th, my wife's birthday, with our daughter. As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted by Elena, who escorted us to a table she had beautifully prepared, with meticulous attention to detail. My wife and I chose the seafood tasting menu for €50 each, which offered a rich variety of mixed appetizers, both hot and cold: seafood salad, sautéed mussels, marinated salmon, bruschetta, tuna with olives, fried baby octopus, and focaccia. For our first course, among the dishes of the day, we both opted for tonnarelli allo scoglio, while for our second course, we enjoyed fried fish accompanied by a mixed salad with walnuts. To finish, we enjoyed lemon sorbet and coffee. Our daughter shared the appetizers with us and chose a mixed grill of fish—sea bream, squid, tuna, scampi, and prawns—accompanied by baked potatoes. What can I say? It was truly an escalation of flavors, everything was truly excellent. The service, both from the waiter and Elena, was impeccable: always available and attentive to every detail. The final touch was truly unique: we brought a birthday cake, and the staff played birthday music in the background. They brought a cart with a shell that opened and inside was the cake, right in the center of the room, creating a magical and exclusive atmosphere where my wife could blow out the candles and take a few photos. What can I say? It was an escalation of flavors with impeccable and attentive service.

31/12/2025: Acceptable food but very high price

09/12/2025: Hospitality and Outstanding Food! A true gem in Albano Laziale! The experience at Dar Contadino was exceptional. The location is very charming, and the warm welcome immediately created a truly pleasant atmosphere. But the real highlight is the food: I found the food to be out of this world in terms of quality and flavor. The tagliata di carne was fabulous, one of the best I've ever eaten. I highly recommend trying the first courses and appetizers (the fried dishes were perfect!). If you're in the area, a stop here is a must. I'll definitely be back!

23/06/2025: We had dinner in the garden, which was very pleasant. Quality food and excellent service. Worth considering if you're in the area.

19/06/2025: Pizza in famiglia buona la pizza il servizio con un bel panorama sulla costa. Ed anche un piacevole freschetto sulla terrazza.

08/02/2026: Nice little place overlooking the lake. The food isn't anything special, and it's quite pricey.

09/01/2026: Very spacious, with both indoor and outdoor dining areas, under large umbrellas. Plenty of space between the tables. The dining room staff is numerous and very friendly. The dishes are generous and of good quality. Prices are average. The fifth star, when I return to continue choosing from the varied and interesting menu. UPDATE After a long time, with high expectations, I stopped by again, but I'm forced to remove the stars! "Antipasto Capannina" was well-plated, but lacking in imagination. As for the first course, to summarize, the chef had a problem with the ravioli requested. He suggested other ones, but after many apologies and a long wait, they arrived, but they were half raw, with the meat inside being inedible and left on the plate. The waiter pointed this out and apologized for what happened. We weren't interested, but professionally speaking, a discount on the bill would have been appreciated, but instead: full-price ravioli!

04/02/2026: A beautiful place for lunch or aperitifs... a "fraschetta" right on the lake. You can be served or self-service, eat indoors, on the terrace, or in the garden... Excellent prices... I recommend it.

31/01/2026: Located on the lakeshore, the restaurant offers a beautiful view thanks to its large windows. The place is beautiful, minimalist yet welcoming. The staff is helpful and cheerful. With a menu consisting of a platter, side dishes, and pasta amatriciana, my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed everything, especially the platter (served with homemade bread). The side dishes are simple but lack character. A truly memorable evening, very enjoyable, and we'll definitely return.
