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.

We have been very happy with the hospitality, simplicity and typical Tuscan food... do not miss the Pici all'aglione a local specialty cooked to perfection! A juicy thick spaghetto in a light garlic sauce which will light your meal)

A lovely Taverna in a great position, looking over a square in the centre of the village. Home made pasta, traditional recipes and excellent wine combined with great value for money. The owner of the restaurant was very warm, friendly and chatty. I would definitely go back again if I found myself in this area again. Speisekarte ansehen

The Restaurant was one of our highlights during our Toscana trip. The Chef of the restaurant consult the guests in detail and his proposals went into fantastic meals. We decided for a Florentine Steak with vegetables and white beans. Was really Great !! If you are in the region you should use the case to visit this Restaurant.

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. Speisekarte ansehen

A tiny hidden gem, as others have noted: the owner is a great character, wonderful host, and the menu has enough variety to please anyone. The food is very good we loved the sliced steak with balsamic vinegar (really delicious even if it sounds odd) and the thick tomato soup, Papa al pomodoro, which was yummy even on a hot day. The grilled vegetables were marvelous. The shady terrace is cool and small enough to be cosy you might talk to other guests, or might not. The granita with mint and lime is an excellent refreshing dessert. Portions are very big you can share almost any dish. Their own wine was very nice and reasonably priced.

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...

We'd been up to the Rocca Tentennano (reviewed separately) and then took a stroll around Castiglione d'Orcia old town, perhaps often bypassed but a very pretty village worth a look, we were in search of lunch and happened across Il Cassero. One other family were in the restaurant so not very busy, we were greeted by the owner and between my broken Italian and his sparse English we got by. He suggested a table by the very welcome fan as it was a rather warm day. So we settled down to order a bruschetta and a plate of mixed meats, cheese and melon. The bruschette were plain and tomato flavoured with herbs which was very tasty and then the plate of meats all very good and with a friendly chatte... Speisekarte ansehen
