What customers say?

“ Great and unique food. The upper levels have more eclectic decoration and as you go down to the lower levels it looks more ancient/simple. I ate here for the first time in 2007 and it changed ownership I believe in 2016. Today was the first time I had been back since 2018 and I've always had a great meal here. The views of the lake are amazing—as always. It's slightly pricier than some of the restaurants in the city of Castel Gandolfo and a more upscale experience. To walk here from the city center takes several minutes and as you get close to the restaurant, the sidewalks are not that great. So watch out for the traffic! ”

“ The view is great. Decoration is interesting, not exactly my style, but certainly elegant on its own way. Service a bit slow, but correct. Food is good: more striking on the visual aspect that anything else, but at least the fish and pasta dishes that we tried were very good. They seem to specialize more on fish. Desserts, a bit less: don't expect traditional Italian desserts such as tiramisu or cassata, but original desserts with different shapes. The restaurant is a bit the pricey side, but on the whole not much more than the restaurants up on the main square, which are not quite as elegant. I think for this level of stylish atmosphere and view it is not a very expensive place. Probably a good place to take a date and impress her? Or at least take some pictures of the food and post it on Instagram? View: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Food visuals: 5/5 Food flavours: 4.5/5 Desserts: 3.5/5 ”

“ Classy restaurant with very attentive staff and excellent food! You also get a super view of the lake from their terrace. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend this place. ”
