"My first restuarant I tried in Castelfranco (another TripAdvisor recommendation! as it was close to my hotel and after a long day, I didn't feel like walking very far! It is situated just inside the old gate (on the right hand side on the main road through the old town, Via FM Preti. The menu is prominently displayed outside the small outdoor seating area and when you enter the premises, you are opposite the bar and you are welcomed immediately by a charming lady who shows you to your table and leaves you with a very weighty menu in English! (This is not to say that the menu is large it isn't that big but it is contained in a heavy cover! The tables are nicely set with white table linen, sparkling cutlery and glassware, and a oil lamp on each table. The speciality of the house is fish and it comes in all shapes, sizes and guises! Once you've given your order to the friendly waitress, you have time to look around the extraordinary decor of the room; there are painted panels on the walls, collections of all sorts of things, painted hangings on the ceiling, vases of fresh and dried flowers, crystal chandeliers and so on you need to make a return visit just to take everything in! The service is excellent and my starter of home made linguine with fresh salmon soon arrived. My main course was a grilled seabass with a dish of seasonal vegetables it was perfectly grilled and had a wonderful flavour. For a sweet, I was recommended to try the home made creme caramel I love creme caramel and this was oine of the best I've tasted. I rounded off my meal with an espresso and this came with a proper dessert; a dish containing nuts and fruit, sweet biscuits and macaroons a proper dessert! I don't normally take pictures of my food but this deserved a picture! This was my most expensive meal in Castelfranco coming in at €61 for 3 courses, beer, espresso and dessert but I thought it was worth every penny! And judging by the number of people coming in whilst I was eating, so do a lot of other people!"
