I migliori ristorantinella città Castel gandolfo della Roma

14/11/2025: The place is cute and romantic, but the decor is a bit too tacky and full of random objects. The staff was friendly, but the food didn't wow me at all. The appetizer was raw, the tartare was tasteless and miserable. The langoustine was cold and kept in the fridge too long, and the Argentinean prawns were inedible. They don't even use our own red prawns from Mazara. The langoustine risotto was loose, soupy, and flavorless (clearly visible in the photo). The pasta was overcooked. I didn't have the courage to order dessert. The bill was meaningless. I don't recommend it and I won't return. There are much better options in the area.

10/11/2025: A place where the essence of the beauty of the dishes is in harmony with the majesty of the superlative location.

08/11/2025: It's finished... Paniti with pre-cooked sausage burgers... now only the name remains of the homemade kind.

06/11/2025: Cioli is always a guarantee of quality. The restaurant, just steps from Lake Castelgandolfo with a splendid view from above, is small but offers a few tables outside as well as a spacious terrace. It's a shame it was freezing cold because there was no heating. The service is very friendly and fast. The porchetta is truly delicious, as are the vegetables (chicory, dried tomatoes, potatoes, etc.), the fresh bread, and the cured meats, especially salami and coppiette. The portions are generous and the prices reasonable. Highly recommended.

02/11/2025: Very nice restaurant. The rice was excellent, the dishes were plentiful and of excellent quality. Kudos also to the courteous and fast service.

11/10/2025: We went to this restaurant with friends, where they've dined several times, telling us the food was good, and, I must say, "you always have to trust them." The place is cute, and the owner is super friendly. While we waited for our order to arrive, he kindly offered us some fried anchovies, which were very good and, above all, you could taste they were fresh. We ordered tonnarelli allo scoglio, flavorful yet delicate. For our second course, we had fried calamari and shrimp, delicious and excellently breaded. Oh, and don't underestimate the generous portions, not excessive, but just the right amount to fill the eyes and delight the palate. P.S.: I took the photo of the fried food after I started eating it because it was really tempting 😋.

05/11/2025: We recently went for lunch. Honestly, I had high expectations since some colleagues had mentioned it to me, and perhaps that's why I'm disappointed (spoiler alert). The menu is 80% fish and 20% meat, and the offerings include a good variety of appetizers, first courses, and second courses (and the usual average desserts). As mentioned, the buffalo mozzarella with prosciutto crudo (raw ham). The prosciutto was good quality, but the buffalo mozzarella (it was so small), like 90% of restaurants, is served cold... not even room temperature... The fish dishes actually looked nice, and those who ordered them confirmed the overall quality (although the fried foods had a bit too much oil leftover). Some friends and I ordered the fettuccine (with mushrooms and wild boar ragù). I presume to be able to judge the quality of a fettuccine, having eaten all kinds, especially homemade ones made by various people. Unfortunately, the ones at "I Quadri" lacked any of the fundamental characteristics of a good fettuccine. The pasta was extremely thick, which, combined with the al dente cooking, made it difficult (or impossible) to "wrap around a fork." It also lacked the roughness one expects from homemade pasta: the sauce literally ran off. Regarding the sauce, neither the mushroom nor the wild boar ones lived up to expectations, being rather liquid (disjointed) and lacking any distinct flavors. A real shame. The wine list is varied, but it's absurd that they don't include a red wine by the glass, only white. Coffee at the end: truly "a tear" in the cup. Yet we didn't ask for ristrettos... The service was courteous but not particularly precise: on several occasions we had to ask several times, attracting the attention of various waiters. In conclusion. An average experience that I could repeat only to taste the fish dishes which, in hindsight, seem to be the heart of this restaurant.

03/11/2025: The food at Il Quadri is good: excellent fried food, fish, risotto with scampi cream, excellent cocktails, excellent meat, desserts, and oysters. The price is fair, and the atmosphere is great, even on rainy days. Pure relaxation. The pizza and bar are also excellent.

19/10/2025: On Sunday 5th October we ate 2 pizzas, 2 suppli, 1 bottle of water, 2 small beers, we paid €58, cover charge €26, at the till they gave us €4 back after we pointed out that perhaps they had made a mistake, never again theft

13/09/2025: Top-notch kindness and courtesy, breathtaking view, excellent dishes

05/11/2025: The first courses, both spaghetti and fettuccine, are simply amazing!

02/11/2025: The appetizer brought was fried flowers and supplì…full of oil, fettuccine that the cooking water was visible from afar, ingredients not mixed together, disappointing

22/10/2025: The fried anchovies were inedible, the bread was 20 years old, and I strongly advise against it. Furthermore, the owner was rude and impolite.

14/10/2025: I celebrated my son's first communion... and I couldn't have chosen a better place! Thanks to Gabriele and his staff...professional, helpful, and always smiling...I highly recommend Quintessa...thank you for everything😍
