We stopped in for lunch and were delighted we chose this place, as the waiter was kind and welcoming and explained the house specialties. We left it up to him to bring us the best plates, stipulating we wanted lake fish and regional dishes. He didn't steer us wrong, with incredible food all from local ingredients. Do not miss the mixed fish bruschetta, I will dream about them for some time to come. Pastas were light and the grilled fish was delicate but flavorful. A great local wine, and the good service...it's a winner!

This old and fascinating restaurant is located in the very heart of Castiglione, a marvelous historical town on the Trasimeno lake. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and the staff professional and extremely friendly.. but the food is not at the same level.. dishes are well presented but not tasty! They miss a sparkle.. theyâre flat. Itâs a shame because the potential is very high!!

We called at this Osteria for Pranzo just after we had arrived in C d L as it was close to where we were staying. First impressions were of a traditional small family owned restaurant with lots of pictures of the local area around the lake stretching back to the early 20th century. What followed was a meal where the ingredients spoke for themselves and were prepared simply and sympathetically by someone who obviously loves food. (like me) Roberto introduced himself at the end of the meal after I had commented on how good it was to his wife who serves up the food. We had quite a long chat about it although as our Italian is not that advanced we could not avoid the coccasional consult with Google translate. He explained about the rare breed pig (Cinta Sinese) he sources from the region of Siena inTuscany which has now been given DOP status. Forget bland, white (often dry) meat we have become used to when eating pork. This is completely different and delicious and a cross between Cingiale (Wild Boar ) and domestic pig. The animals are reared in the semi-wild and forage for sweet and bitter acorns, tubers and tuffles. The Starter platter of Prosciutto, Salami, Capo Collo all from this breed is outstanding and if served up by top London restaurants would probably cost a fortune We live in neighbouring Marche where salumi is also good but the rare breed of pork used here and the subtle use of fennel in Tuscan Salumi elevated it to something really special. The pork menu alone should make this place a must visit. Roberto also cooks lake fish, such as perch, persico and carp (the latter not really my cup of tea but , nevertheless well prepared and roasted with pork 'lardo' and fennel for those that DO like it) which we tried on or 2nd visit just before we returned home after our 4 day break.. I was surprised how quiet Trasimeno was (mid July) and even more surprised how quiet this restaurant was at lunchtime on a Friday. Given all of the above, the prices were modest and, this Osteria deserves a wider and bigger audience than it appears to have at the moment based on our two visits particularly with the produce on offer. Will certainly be back on our next visit. Cannot wait!Grazieeeee un saluto grande da Agnese,Roberto

Reviewed By trevorw535
On every occasion when new people are introduced to this restaurant, they go back. The changing seasonal menu is a gastronomic delight. Whether the produce is of the land, sea or lake it is extremely tasty and wonderfully cooked. It is complimented by sensibly priced wine. The service is excellent. If I were to make a criticism, it would be that Francesca,the proprietor/chef, does not visit tables and therefore misses out on very favourable feedback.

Absolutely best beef ever, with very modern and uncommon style of serving. Also the wines are very, very good, and strong. The restaurant is also very nice and the waiter/owner very helpful. But cannot speak English, you have to practise the Italian :o)Make a reservation in advance.They are closed on Mondays.Defenitely the best beef tartar and beef sashimi ever.

This town is truly stunning peppered with quality shops and restaurants. We were spoiled for choice, but settled for this restaurant & and were not disappointed! Everything about the restaurant spoke quality. This was one of the very few restaurants that Iâve had cheese fondue! Cured meats and bean Zuppa featured, but I settled for the Mozzarella di Bufala salad .

We were staying in a hotel nearby so saw the restaurant rated highly for the locality. On arrival we were greeted by Claudia herself who told us that the food is all handmade using ingredients they grew and animals they bred themselves on the farm, they even press their own wine which we enjoyed so much we bought a bottle to bring home! The food was absolutely delicious and obviously extremely fresh and the service was attentive particularly Roberto who was keen on informing us of the source of the ingredients and how they made it to our plates which we loved! Definitively give Claudiaâs âgardenâ a try!! Thank YOU!!!Claudia Russo
