"then there is a story to tell. I appreciate that the food turns out greedy and the room staff as well, but there is a but! I ordered a first and a second (a pasta and a steak without ordering a contour. the waitress came to the table with a steak and a portion of chicory, claiming to find nice the idea of combining it with meat. I thank you for the attention, but I suppose they offered it to them since I ordered it. I arrive at the cashier to pay the bill and here is the surprise that I am on reception 4 euro chicory! so I highly recommend to the restaurateurs that if you want to bring extra portions to the table not to charge them, since the customer had not ordered them!"

"Was there for pranzo on Mother’s Day. 1 pm reservation, which is normally when restaurants begin serving pranzo. I was shocked to see that the restaurant was, at that hour, almost full, and and people were already through their pasta course! So, make reservations! The food was creative, traditional. 4 of us shared 2 orders of their signature mixed antipasto plate. It was more than enough! Tried to get the recipe for their onion marmalade, but could only get the very knowledgeable waiter to tell us it was red onions, cooked in red wine for 6 hours with a bit of sugar, but could not get the rest of the “secret ingredients” from him. The only thing I did not like was a spicy fontina-type cheese, but everything else was excellent. 3 of us had pasta courses: e dishes were a fresh tomato sauce with ground pork and almonds over “strozza prete” pasta — a hand rolled pasta made with flour and water. The other pasta was fettucine with artichokes — it was all good. Another person had a steak, rare, with potatoes. Desserts were home- made and delicious! Creme Catalan (what we call creme brulee), a semi-freddo with amaretti and rum, and tiramisu. Dinner was €116, which I feel is reasonable considering location and quality of food."

"The restaurant is situated outside the township of Bassiano (Latina). There is plenty of off street parking. On arriving there is an outdoor foyer which leads into the restaurant proper with glimpses of the food preparation areas. The restaurant is filled with natural light with large windows. The main floor is opened planned and is well spaced between tables. The food was fantastic and dishes were varied and delicious and the staff were helpful and accommodating. If you are travelling in the area, make sure to visit Il Castagno I am sure you will enjoy the experience"

"restaurant in sermoneta, in the province of latina. We ordered two cutters (18 euros each) who should feed, according to the waiters, four people, but they were a little poor and maybe it was enough for just three hungry people. honor mention for the ricottina, very good, almost sugary. the rest, on the other hand, on the average of the cutters to be tractor to good, that is meat and cheese of poor quality but acceptable (read: no more or less than what you could find in a discount). As I first ordered a pistachio paste, arrived after a good waiting ogre (we are proud that they were served before customers arrived after us). the menu recited pistachio pesto, tomatoes, crisp cheeks and tropea onions. To me came a untuosissima yellowish paste (which is based on at least two tablespoons of oil) with pistachio granella, no visible or palatable pistachio pesto and an unbalanced onions afflicted in the oil above, all surrounded by a little tomato cut so still the crisp cheek. It is clear that no pistachio pesto has been made or used, so the dish does not even respect the one described in the menu and the vote I give is mainly due to this. And to think that I had chosen the dish by trusting me with some beautiful green dishes that I saw served at other tables. The waiters are young and kind, but the courses were not synchronized, neither for the first, nor for the desserts, leaving some embarrassment for the wait. Small adventure: we ate outdoors under the umbrellas. For a moment it was considered necessary to close them, because the wind was rising. Indi, we got up and witnessed the closure of the umbrellas. If not enough, the wind broke out shortly after and the August sun rose again more than ever after a few minutes. the complicated mechanism of opening the umbrellas persuaded the waiters to reopen them, so we make brown on the slow fire for the rest of the morning. some of the diners had to repair for most of the lunch under the shadow, sitting on a bench that was there near our table."

"Been there with my parents looking for some plates of the local tradition (my father was born in Bassiano) and we weren’t disappointed. The location is very nice, at the second floor of a historical building, and atmosphere was pretty warm and welcoming. We had a “antipasto misto” , very good and hearty, then pappardelle al cinghiale (very good) and then abbacchio (lamb) that was actually delicious. Service was very good and waiters super kind and fast. Prices a little bit higher than the local average but still pretty low. At the end, very good meal with local ingredients and good service"
