I migliori ristorantinella città Castel gandolfo della Roma

14/10/2025: Nice place, beautiful view of the lake. The decor is predominantly black, which I personally don't like. My wife and I had lunch: spaghetti with clams, fried baby octopus, octopus alla diavola, and dessert to finish. Everything was very good except the octopus alla diavola, which wasn't spicy at all and was seasoned with rosemary and sage. Basically, all you could taste was the sage: in my opinion, seafood dishes should be "touched" as little as possible to avoid altering the true flavor, that of the sea. Overall, I recommend it.

09/10/2025: We've been to this restaurant several times, the last time just yesterday because we got married the day before in Castel Gandolfo, so we stayed nearby and were delighted to return to this wonderful place. A breathtaking location, beyond the lake view, the interior is also art and enchantment. The service is impeccable, and the food—there's not a single dish that isn't beautiful to look at, but above all, appetizing and meticulously crafted. I recommend everyone try it and believe it!

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😍

09/09/2025: THERE WAS 7 OF US EATING, 3 OF WHICH WERE CHILDREN. MY EXPERIENCE WAS TRULY CATASTROPHIC. SPECIFICALLY, THE FOOD WAS NOT FRESH AND UNWORTHY, AND IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE WAS POOR. NOT TO MENTION THE BILL WAS QUITE SALTY FOR WHAT WE WERE OFFERED. ABSOLUTELY AVOID IT!

07/09/2025: We chose this historic restaurant to organize my nephew's baptism. From the manager, Barbara, who was professional and attentive to all our requests, to the excellent cuisine, to the attentive and impeccable wait staff throughout the dinner, we had a wonderful time. Highly recommended for the organization, location, excellent cuisine, and impeccable service.
