Interesting place to eat. The waiter will want you to explore their underground cave which is pretty cool. Today was Sunday and we arrived for lunch around 1pm. It took them 45 minutes to bring out our food which was two pasta dishes and a rabbit dish. It's a quaint little place that you gotta take the time to sip a glass of wine to appreciate. If you are in a hurry don't go there. Food is OK. I think they are better options in Rome. The wasps and pigeons can be annoying if you are sitting outside. read more

So many people have shared about the delicious food, homemade wine and 32 liquors, the underground caves and wine cellar. We stopped in for a glass of wine, we had our own private concert, we were given a sampling of their delicious liquors but most of all we were treated like friends. The staff is amazingly welcoming and knowledgeable. We had such an unexpected lovely evening with delicious food. The decor is unique, a definite must visit while visiting the area! read more

The ambiance is nice with its creative decorations and the nice music. I highly, highly recommend checking out their cave down below for a unique experience. The food was good, not great for the two pasta dishes that we got. We also waiting almost an hour for our food when it didn't seem very busy. Otherwise the servers were really nice and helpful explaining the menu to us since it was only in Italian. read more

I could leave a long ass review here but I'll keep it simple. The best pasta we had while in Italy. Keep in mind there was a lot of great pasta. The wine cellar is amazing!! You can walk down there and really get to feel where you are by just looking around. You're in a freaking underground wine cellar in a small town on the outskirts of Rome. For you grammar police, castle gandolfo is actually still considered rome. The wine was great. The decor throughout was very unique and cool. If you are around here, go. Don't miss this one. read more

This restaurant is great! It is in an old building with a an underground wine cellar that is incredible. Every dining room has a theme: sail boats, chandeliers, telephones, clocks, Pinocchio, maps and more. The food is delicious and the service by both Giuseppe and Ugo was great. I recommended this restaurant. If you are in Castle Gandolfo you cannot miss it! My family and I had a good time. read more

The food is delicious. I highly recommend and you MUST do a tour of their cave which goes below the restaurant quite a ways.

Julio was very generous with his time explaining menu items and recommending dishes for us to try. Ask him for a tour of their amazing wine cellar! read more

Arte e Vino - Italian Near Me - Castel Gandolfo, RM

I don't leave reviews as much as I should but myself and my boyfriend felt like this restaurant was absolutely superb. From the service, to the value for money, generous dish size, interesting combination of flavours and just a sheer example of Italian cooking at it's absolute best, Arte e Vino was the best place we ate during our holiday by a long way (and we ate some really wonderful things). Even the simple tomato salad was sublime. The waiter was really keen for us to try liqueurs his grandfather made (i think it's a family run business) which was so touching. We said we'd love to try and he brought us four complimentary shots. SO LOVELY! can't recommend more highly. read more

Arte e Vino - Italian Near Me - Castel Gandolfo, RM

We were going to take a side trip outside of Rome to see Castel Gondolfo, the summer residence of Pope Francis. I checked on Trip Advisor for a place for the 5 of us to have lunch. The Arte e Vino restaurant struck me right off - it was charming, old and inviting. After our tour of the castle, we walked down from the main square to the restaurant. We were the first ones there - it was around noon. (Italians seem to eat later for lunch and dinner.) We were surprised to see that the restaurant has rooms on both sides of the street. All rooms are decorated with antiques and vintage furnishings, etc. Every room had a different theme to it. The place is quite interesting and intriguing. Our server was just okay - not very welcoming or attentive. She seemed to want us to order the same thing and have it served family style, which we did not want to do. We started with water and their house red wine. We had pesto & pistachio pasta, pappardelle con cinghale, and cacio e pepe with chicory and pork with apples and fennel. We all did enjoy the food and the setting. Our total bill was €82 read more

This is throwback place. We had a wonderful meal, they care about the food and it is very well presented.

Absolutely amazing! Not only is Castle Gandolfo beautiful but this entire establishment is unique and intricate. My school group and I went there for a wine tasting and we're served fantastic cheeses and meats, specifically this feta cheese that was so fresh it melted in your mouth. The wine of course was delicious! Every single glass was a brand new flavor and the owner is so knowledgeable and passionate. If you have any time please take it to come to this establishment. read more
