You must eat all 3 courses (primo, secondo & dolce) and of course, ask for a sgrappino! By far the best I've ever had in all of Italy. Prices are fabulous as well.

It's a bit of a drive for us but WELL WORTH it!

Quick to offer suggestions and clarify details of the menu for those who don't speak Italian. They had a nice wine, and cocktail list, but only a few beers to offer, surprisingly. The food menu had some great options, I opted for Pasta Carbonara, and was incredibly happy with the fresh pasta, and the rich flavors it was filled with. It maybe could have used just a touch more sauce, but otherwise, it was delicious. I really enjoyed the bread they brought out pre meal, they were small, soft puff like pastries, with just a hint of cheese...amazing! I believe my cousin says they are made by a bakery just up the street. I definitely recommend this spot, and hope to visit it again one day!

My wife and I were greeted and set down at a wonderful table. And after using Google Translate we were given a fantastic 4 course meal. Steak cooked to perfection covered in capers and mushrooms. Wine was perfect. Vegetables were fantastic. As we went to leave the chef let us taste his mothers Grappa which was a nice warmer for the evening out. Then he gave us a bottle of prosecco as a parting gift. Fantastic place and a wonderful dining experience. I am looking forward to going back to during the summer since they have a wonderful outdoor patio.

It was a little off the beaten track, next to a small canal and a bridge. They had a seafood bolognese set menu with deep fried seafood and veggies for my secondi and a salad for 19€. Seemed a little in the cheap side to be good, the food came so fast that again I didn't think it would be good, but it was great. My kids had the gnocchi in truffle sauce and the carbonara and both were divine! Like I think about them and wish I could go back. My seafood was fresh and tender, the pasta was perfectly cooked and it all just had flavor! The best meal I've had in my trip so far. If you're in Venice, do yourself a favor and try out this very affordable very flavorful restaurant with the nice ambience and super helpful English speaking waiters. They'll make you feel like a million bucks

Similar to the other reviewer, I recently stayed in Castelbrando for my destination wedding! I'll…read morewrite a full review separately for their wedding services, but the tl;dr is that the staff were amazing and really went above and beyond our expectations and my now-husband and I (and all our guests!) had a wonderful experience overall. Brunella and Carlo as leads worked very well with our wedding planner and the whole day went by very smoothly, even with pending rain and some last minute changes/requests. The stay at the hotel itself was so lovely as well. In summary - Pros: - Easy check-in process - able to park right up at the front (temporarily) and unload luggage - Friendly, helpful staff - most of them (all of the front desk and restaurant staff though) speak English - Great room (alcova) with lots of light and lots of space for the wedding party to get ready - Strong wifi in common areas, such as the reception area and lounge - Lots of options at breakfast - hot/cold drinks, continental food items, and hot food such as eggs and bacon - La Fucina restaurant, Donatello Bar, museums, and other areas are fun to explore and hang out in - 24h funicular (cable car) - Lovely spa amenities, easy to book Cons (ish): - The room wasn't fully cleaned until the last day - only the bed was made and the bathroom was cleaned, but the trash bag placed by the door wasn't removed - The room was right below Sansovino Restaurant and so there was lot of noise when tables/chairs were being moved, especially early in the morning - Wifi in the room wasn't usable unless standing next to the door or window - Gelateria was always closed I would give more than 5 stars if I could. I've already stayed at Castelbrando more than once when I was in the area, and I'm very much looking forward to staying here again! :)

The place is impressive, everything is nice from the hotel to the restaurants and the bars. Amazing people working there. There you can also find 2 restaurants : one gastro really good of course and one more informal with pizzas and italian food. I just tried to find something wrong but nothing is wrong here and you should come here once in your life. The place is so beautiful, quiet, romantic and magic. You have also museums, parcs, walking path, theatre and during the summer : ice cream bar. And did told you about the SPA? Well, just come and have a look, you will not be dissapointed.

When you step inside, however, you'll find a family operated osteria with superb attention to detail and amazing food and a roaring fire to greet you when you enter! This last feature is important if you're visiting on a cold day like we did. It's very important that you make a reservation in advance as you will not be seated without one. We arrived right as the restaurant opened for its dinner service and within an hour of arriving the whole place was full of locals having dinner. They offer separate Italian and English menus which was a big help because not all the staff speaks English so it helps break down the language barrier and makes ordering easy if you don't happen to speak Italian. We ordered four items: Starter: bruschetta (the tomatoes were extremely flavorful and had an oil mixed in that really made the flavor pop) First course:tagliatelle pasta with porcini mushrooms (a local mushroom that accented the pasta very well) Second course: veal cheek (amazingly tender and served with a delicious sauce) Side dish: mixed vegetables (accented the veal cheek very well) I'm knocking off the final fifth star on this review because of an incident with our bill that occurred that was very unappreciated. At the start of the meal, we decided to not order any wine when initially asked by our waiter because we'd been drinking prosecco all day and felt the need to hydrate with water. About 10 minutes later, the restaurant's sommelier came out with a bottle of red from the cellar that he brought us "to try" so we could see if it was something we would want to order. He filled our wine glasses a normal tasting amount. While a tasty red, we again declined to order a glass of wine. When the final bill arrived we were surprised to notice they had charged us 5 euros each for wine. When we asked about this (because again, we declined twice to order wine) we were told it was for the tasting. I really didn't appreciate this bait and switch tactic so be advised that if they come out and offer to have you "taste" a wine you'll be charged for the tasting. Despite this, however, we had a great experience in this little local gem and would definitely return.
