I migliori ristorantinella città Castel gandolfo della Roma

09/08/2025: Novu by Borgo Antico: The location is great and the menu items seem perfect. We went on Friday evening for a romantic dinner and although the prices were a bit high, it was a special occasion. Upon entering, we noticed that while they were going for, in part, a romantic atmosphere, they had tv up in the bar with sports game playing and the music was loud. They did sit us in a slightly more secluded area to adjust for that. The service was as friendly as they can be given they seemed a little short staffed. It was for this reason things seemed a little slow, but they worked very hard and deserve some credit. We ordered the grilled octopus priced at $65 and lobster raviolo priced at $34. We expected that for $65 we would get signficantly larger portion. The octopus dish came with only 3 medium sized tentacles, and plenty of filler like zucchini and watercress. The crispy rice was a great addition but the sauce being used as a base was very overpowering and vinegary in flavor and while it was good in the first few bites, as one ate more it became excessive. Overall, while the plate size as a meal was good, they definitely should not be charging $65 (this is a rip-off I'm sorry to say) The lobster raviolo has a bisque sauce which was nice, but the pasta itself did not seem fresh made, and was possibly frozen. Additionally, there were pieces of lobster on top which were dried out and seemed overcooked. This could possibly be due to spending time under a heat lamp and/or not being served right away. Also, we did order a fritto misto as an appetizer, priced $30. There were 2 shrimp, and very few calamari (which seemed overcooked). And the rest of the dish was just larger pieces of fried unknown fish. A fritto misto at this level is a very specific dish, requiring specific types of seafood and perhaps small fishes (such as fried anchovies). This did not meet those standards, and as such is overpriced for what was provided. Finally, when the kitchen door was opened you caught glimpses of a freezer and home depot buckets. This is not something you want to make visible to diners. Overall, this was disappointing for the price paid and the expectations, being somewhat familiar with the borgo antico name. Unfortunately, I would pass on Novu unless they make some changes.

11/06/2025: I definitely recommend Borgo Antico Cucina for any occasion! The traditional Italian food was so delicious, and the service was great! We were to celebrate my friend's birthday on Saturday evening with a party of 8. We ordered shareable appetizers, and the individual mains were generous portions! We paired our mains with red and white wines (Chianti Riserva and Gavi). I especially enjoyed my Linguine Pescatore! If you love seafood, then this is the perfect dish for you!!

10/08/2025: Excellent restaurant located on the lake of Castel Gandolfo with large sliding windows, excellent food and service, worth trying and then returning.

08/08/2025: The appetizer was decent; my wife's tagliata was good, but the swordfish was overcooked and dry, probably prepared hours earlier and reheated. Not the best value for money.

03/07/2025: You can choose whether to eat at the restaurant, served, or at the outdoor tables taking the food at the counter and bringing it yourself, we chose the latter solution. Beautiful view of the lake, good cold cuts

15/06/2025: Absolutely overpriced for the service and quality it offers. Two slices of bread with ham (which I left because it was cut too thick and almost gelatinous) and mozzarella €9. At this price I should have been thrilled by the quality of the products. I can spend €9 for a sandwich but it has to be worth that money. If I had gone to the supermarket I would have spent less and eaten better. If you point out that they are expensive they even get offended. We will not return.

12/07/2025: Celebrated my son's 18th birthday, charming place, good food and very successful party

22/05/2025: Beautiful location in front of the lake of Castel Gandolfo, excellent food, fair price, there is also a dance hall for pleasant summer evenings.

21/07/2025: This was our all time favorite place we visited for dining. Spectaculare atmosphere and staff. Really worth the visit!

18/07/2025: Sono stata al Castel Gandolfo al ristorante questa sera con la mia famiglia e purtroppo è stata un’esperienza estremamente deludente. Il cibo era davvero pessimo: insapore, cucinato male e per nulla appetitoso. Nessuno dei piatti che abbiamo ordinato era buono. Anche il servizio è stato molto scadente: personale scortese, poco attento e tempi di attesa lunghissimi. L’atmosfera generale era fredda e poco accogliente. Non consiglio assolutamente questo ristorante a nessuno. Spero sinceramente che prendano sul serio i feedback dei clienti per migliorare drasticamente la qualità del servizio e del cibo.

17/08/2025: More like a bar. A café with plenty of sweets. There's an interior and a terrace. The terrace is so-so. The tables and chairs are quite dirty. The terrace overlooks Lago di Albano and the local beaches. We ordered piadina and tramwzzini. First, it turned out they had no ham, then no tuna, then mozzarella and tomato. Prices were reasonable.

17/08/2025: The breakfast quality (a croissant costs 2.50) isn't top-notch, the prices are high and unclear. The cashier isn't very friendly. The menu isn't there, there's a long wait, and the staff is always friendly, always young, and always changing... plus, they give us a different price every time for the same item. The view is lovely. Stop.
