Trattoria Il Cassero

Najlepiej makaron znajdował się w języku włoskim. Właściciel nie mówi po angielsku, ale nie może być mylony. Nie czułem więcej włosów niż w tej restauracji.

After an uphill hike, we found this trattoria hidden in this small hilltop town. The quality of food and service were excellent. The owner (chef) provided a great menu with local wine.

The food at this Trattoria was a level above any other we visited over two weeks in Tuscany. The pasta in particular was excellent. I tried a local craft ale which, while hugely overpriced, was really quite special. The chef and maitre d managed a good double act that kept everyone amused throughout too. All in all a great meal. Recommended. Ver carta

Food is traditional to val d'Orcia, a stunning region in Tuscany. Also, food is just ex-cellent! Must go and eat here. Only thing is that it's run by a couple who couldn't be more different in the impression that they left on me. The man talks a lot and appears to be a bit controlling. The woman is quiet, almost depressed looking, but she's very kind. Don't let this put you off. Ultimately, they'll both be friendly. The food is worth it. The village is absolutely beautiful.

This was the most lovely find of our whole trip to Tuscany. We kept it simple given we were about to go on a hike but the pomodoro pasta we had was just sublime (and super fresh). We had the just made cake for dessert and a lovely wine and cafe as well. The man who runs this place is super nice and welcoming and did his best to teach us a bit more Italian (my husband is decent at it and still learning) and teach us the best ways to bake a cake! Wish we could have come here every day next time! PS. The restaurant is right in the middle of the historic part of town.

What a surprise the whole day was, but this was a highlight. We climbed around Castiglione first, so we got hungry. We went in early and found the host/owner/chef/server still easting lunch, so we waited. He put us at a shady table outside and when he was ready, he helped us order everything was wonderfully tasty and talked to us about his family, his food, his place with wonderful humor and love. Another couple came in and they got the same treatment friendly, talkative, laughing. They ordered what we ordered because it looked so good to them, and they were not disappointed. Ver carta

Il Cassero indeed offers the kind of dining experience most travelers hope for but few find. Great with the local fresh seasoning. Just like one of the other travellers I recommend it with some reservation, because I like to keep out of the way places like this to myself. However, I so enjoy the proprietor and his family that I'll do what I can to help them succeed. This is a great place, and you shouldn't miss it if you have the opportunity. Above all, also a very nice small village with some amazing views from la Rocca. Much less touristic in the season we went there, so let's keep it like that .. ;

My wife and I found ourselves in this small hilltown on a Monday afternoon. It was around 2:30 in the afternoon and there was lttle going on in the town. We were hungry and we found this trattoria. We and another small group were the only ones in the place. The waiter, though not fluent in English, made us feel completely at home. The cuisine was typically Tuscan with wonderful pasta dishes and exceptional house wine. They offered a wide selection of dishes. We wound up staying two hours with a leasure lunch and taking in the atmosphere of this little village from their patio. It was one of fondest memories of out week in Tuscany. Give it a try.

This family owned restaurant in the quiet little village of Castiglione d’Orcia is the location of culinary excellence. The friendly chef (a master of food preparation) produces food like an artist. The combination of flavors, smells, textures and visual presentation tantalize the senses from first bite to last. If you are like myself a spoiled American use to large quantities of average food put that behind you when you are here. Quantity is adequate and quality is not to be exceeded. This was our second meal here and we look forward to more before we head home. The chef loves children and his sole desire appears to be your satisfaction. He doesn’t speak much English but we managed very wel... Ver carta
