Osteria del Castello in Verbania

Un luogo magico per ambiente, gusti, professionalità e simpatia. Un menù fisso di tutto rispetto con le varianti del giorno che lo rendono davvero importante e variegato. La bontà delle pietanze è il connubio di una sapiente preparazione e di ingredienti freschissimi e di prima scelta. Una location molto ben curata ed accogliente. Selezione di vini e distillati davvero completa ed importante.Rapporto qualità prezzo davvero buono.Consigliatissimo. Ovviamente, piacendo a molti, prenotare è buona cosa.

Wish they had menus for wine, desserts, pasta etc. Otherwise fantastic - aubergine parmigiana was really good! And if, like me, your Italian isnt great, no problem. The staff all speak English, French, German... Probably more!

A very cozy little wine bar with good food. The prices are absolutely fair. The waiter knows his wines and is very competent with his suggestions. The service was good and fast.

It’s too expensive for what we had in our plates.

horrible food & staff

The place is nice, the food is good but the service was really awful… Maybe the waiter has some issues with the tourists. That’s a pity!

Super 👍👍

Staff attitude is horrible (all of them), no smile, going as fast as fast as they can to finish with you litterally.Food is good, a little expensive for what you get but OK.

Lovely restaurant, good food and nice outside terrace on a quiet little square.

Bellissimo posto personale molto cordiale e disponibile.Cantina dì vini eccezionale e cibi dì alo livello. Abbiamo mangiato all’esterno sotto il pergolato nella piazzetta pedonale. Ambiente molto tranquillo.

Please eat here! It is really a great place to be - the red wine is fantastic, the vegetarian food really gorgeous and the desserts simply top!

They declined with „too much kids, it is restaurant policy“ (We came with 4 Adults and 6 Kids)

The food was really good. I asked for a wine card (you can find wine bottles all over the restaurant), the waiter said there is only house wines (white red rose). I think it is fine if you have only house wines or if you only sell housewines by glass and other wine by bottle. But after showing real interested in wines, he did not give any further information to the wines. While paying I saw, that they do sell more wines by glass.

Typical Italian Osteria on a typical italian small plaza. Visited by many tourists. Croweded place durungtsummer month and holidays seasons. I suggest sitting outside on the Terrasse

Sorry to say this place has lost much of its charm. Food is good still, and maybe its just them being understaffed. Just unimpressed with the overall experience.

Got a table assigned by a waiter, waited for about 20 minutes trying to order while everyone around us got serviced. I do not recommend

The potatoes are great the fish is bland & the dessert is average bad..

You cant go wrong at the Castello. Always good and very cosy

Great food and wine, good atmosphere. Fun night out...

A wonderful place to enjoy tasty food and excellent wines. Very attentive service.

The best!

Loved the place!

We came in a bit early (18:20), so we were told that we could get a table and a drink, but kitchen opens from 19:00. No problemo, so we sat down and drunk a very nice local white wine and already became some very tasty finger food as an appetizer. After that we had very good meat/steak and a dish with octopus, sardines and salmon! Also the creme brulee and the Panna Cotta were delicious! Staff friendly. For sure a good place to go!

Great food and spot!

Nice place, tasty dishes!

Excellent food - particularly a tremendous carpaccio. Very nice wine. Thank you

Waiters were extremely rude. It quickly became a stressful experience: Food is below average. It is scandalous that this place have such a name when treating its customers with such coldness.

Excellent

Pretty pricy for what you get however really good food and nice atmosphere

Intra has lots of choices, and it’s easy to fall onto a tourist trap. Osteria del Castello is tucked away in a quiet square, serving delicious local fare. Caprese salad was a standout. Service was pretty slow, but with the wait.

Enjoyed lunch although struggled to decipher the menu even with google translate. One of the few places where English wasnt spoken by waiters but felt like a true Italian restaurant. Service was spot on and the food was simple but very tasty. Go early if you want a seat outside under the vines

The food is rather average. We had pasta bolognese which were made with orecchiette which is a nice idea. But there was almost no meat and the sauce unsavory. The staff was listless and not very amiable. The only reason I give 3 instead of 2 stars is the location which is well situated in the city centre and the cozy outside terrace.

For a start there were lots of locals, in fact all locals when we came for lunch. A small menu with some specials. No gimmicks just good Italian food, excellent produce and well prepared to boot. The wine ain’t half bad either. The service was also good. If I had to eat food to this standard every day… I could suck it up!

Excellent place, excellent staff, excellent food.

Great food and service. The wine selection is amazing! Highly recommended. What an experience!

Great food and service!!

What a find. Divine food and awesome service.

Nice restaurant with a typical Italian menu. Staff is very helpful.

Busy place, better reserve. Friendly service and good food in a nice setting

Its OK. Good food but the service could be better.

Friendly staff and excellent dishes. The menu is not a thick book but just well selected and prepared meals. I would recommend this place.

Delicious, beautiful and great staff. I loved this place a lot

We ate better real Italian food in the past. It wasnt authentic Italian food but it was okay.Unfortunately that has been the best part of our visit.Beside the middle class fake Italian food there have been many bad things:- The white wine was warm and the red whine was ice cold.- Each time we faced the eyes of the staff they looked mad at us and to every local customer they did a friendly chat about their day or friends.- We had two kids with us. A 3 year old and a 8 month old baby. There was no offer for a baby chair and when our 3 year old was shouting one of the stuff grabbed his arm so hard that he started to cry.We instantly left the restaurant and while leaving we saw the staff smiling. Outside we saw how they refused a black guy to have a seat.No offense but Italians normally are very friendly people but these guys.... I dont want to use the word racist but no other word would fit.

Great food

The food was nice, but they have no wine card, they dont speak in English and there constantly some random guys from the street trying to sell cheap China toys and no one sends them away which I find unacceptable in a restaurant.

Great food, great service. Nice place

exelent
