The restaurant is located in the heart of the medieval village of Gradara, along the road leading to the castle. A charming location that perfectly complements the character of the building. A small tavern with an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, a refined ambiance and references to the story of Paolo and Francesca.<br>We came here on Halloween night, and even though we hadn't booked, they welcomed us without any problems and seated us right away, which was certainly appreciated.<br>We chose one of the available menus and were satisfied.<br>All the courses were delicious, and we ate really well. Perhaps I would have preferred a slightly larger portion of the first course, but that's just a small personal observation.<br>The service was also excellent, with friendly and helpful staff.<br>Overall, we had a really good time and would gladly return, even to try other dishes on the menu. A positive experience, definitely recommended!
We went to this restaurant with the intention of grabbing a quick piadina because we were already tired from the long flight. Finally, after looking at the menu, we decided to have dinner. Everything was delicious and, above all, good quality, as the food wasn't heavy—quite the opposite! We had such a great time, thanks in part to the super-kind gentleman who accompanied us throughout this experience, that we went back the next day to try the piadina, which was delicious! People are always afraid of stumbling upon touristy places, but this certainly wasn't! We highly recommend it! ❤️ What a wonderful experience!
A lovely restaurant on the main road leading to the castle.<br>The house antipasto is a must-try (the one you see in the photo), along with gnocco fritto, culatello, ciauscolo, cheeses, sour cherry jam, and the generous and excellent first courses, pictured are strozzapreti with sausage and pumpkin tortelli with fondue.
Quick, good quality lunch.
We had lunch, and I have to say it wasn't as good as I expected.<br>The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Perhaps a little bland for our tastes, but again, that's subjective.<br>If I had to compare it to other taverns or inns, I wouldn't rate it as excellent.<br>The waiter who served us, a gentleman, wasn't bad, but he wasn't good either:<br>- A warmer greeting is needed when you enter.<br>- It's not nice to hear bickering between colleagues while you're sitting down to eat.<br>- It's not nice to hear orders being shouted at.<br>- A smile every now and then is appreciated. Maybe it wasn't your day, I don't know.<br>- The wait wasn't short.<br>Overall, the service was a bit inattentive and lacking in warmth.<br>Excellent prices.
Business dinner. Menu variety, high food quality, generous portions. Excellent service. Fair price. Highly recommended.
The restaurant is charming, welcoming, and well-maintained.<br>The menu offers a wide selection, with dishes prepared with meticulous attention to detail using top-quality ingredients. The service was also impeccable: the staff were friendly, attentive, and fast. A recommended stop for anyone looking for a good meal in a beautiful setting in Gradara.
Chosen by chance, but everything was truly excellent. The starters, the meat, and the dessert. Excellent quality, and you can taste it!
Excellent restaurant with quality dishes and generous portions. Homemade pasta, truly remarkable meat. Impeccable service. We were there two nights out of two. The interior is in keeping with the village setting, yet very understated. Highly recommended.
We stopped in as a couple without a reservation on a Sunday for lunch. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent; I'd already been there for a work event a few months ago. The restaurant menu, the welcome, the piadinas, and the desserts were all excellent. Nothing negative to point out.
An incredible experience at the castle restaurant! The service was brilliant, experienced, and the gentleman knew his wine. Plus, the portions were really generous and not too expensive. A great place 🌟
This little tavern named after Paolo and Francesca is a surprise: the staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, the cuisine is based on high-quality, local ingredients, the wine is excellent, the sausages are delicious, and the dishes are many, handcrafted. A truly unique location. Highly recommended.
A small, atmospheric restaurant located right on the road to the fortress towering over the city. We stopped there for lunch and decided on lamb skewers with a side dish. The side dishes were tasty, but the lamb didn't impress us, hence my rating.
I recommend it... excellent and plentiful food, impeccable service, comfortable and quiet, compliments to the waiters and the chef 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Excellent, highly recommended!<br>We had appetizers, meat, and pinsa: everything was excellent!<br>The staff was friendly and helpful.<br>Thank you 😊
A truly authentic restaurant, designed with great attention to detail and impeccable taste. The menu offers a lovely selection of local specialties at moderate prices. The service is exceptionally friendly and attentive, and the food is delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable experience – highly recommended!
I was here for dinner in August. What a great experience: the food 😋, the service, the atmosphere. The food is high quality, but the prices aren't. You sometimes come across restaurants where you just say everything is right; well, this is definitely one of them!
We had an appetizer and two first courses, paccheri and strozzapreti.<br>Everything was excellent.<br>Fast service.<br>Helpful staff.<br>Good value for money.<br>I recommend it to anyone visiting Gradara.
Unfortunately, we couldn't eat anything at this place due to the gentleman at the register (perhaps the owner?) who greeted us with a friendly expression. We were with our dog, which is a paragon of good behavior, and after we sat down at the table, this gentleman asked us to keep the dog under the table, again with a friendly expression. So we got up and left.
