Reviews on Italian food in Bracciano, Province of Rome, Italy. Bracciano is a small town in the Italian region of Lazio, 30 kilometres (19 miles) northwest of Rome. The town is famous for its volcanic lake (Lago di Bracciano or "Sabatino", the eighth largest lake in Italy) and for a particularly well-preserved medieval castle Castello Orsini-Odescalchi. The lake is widely used for sailing and is popular with tourists; the castle has hosted a number of events, especially weddings of actors and singers.

Over the last few years, I have been introduced by Braccianese friends to the restaurant Ai due Leoni which is located on the road from Bracciano Due to Castel Giuliano. It is a little hard to find at night being found only by one sign at the restaurant entrance on the left hand side of the somewhat dark road to Castel Giuliano, but the food, service and local Braccianese ambiance is well worth the fairly short drive from the centre of Bracciano.It is very good value, with the hosts always suggesting specials on the night. It is a family friendly restaurant with lots of families present, together with tables occupied by young local couples or young people. I think it is probably one of the dying class of genuine Italian restaurants close to Rome serving basic but wholesome Lazio regional food eg. bistecca, miale. There is also ample off street parking which is an added bonus, rather than worry about a space in the town centre when wishing to eat.

Yes, the name may sound like a tourist trap, but we were actually the only non locals there. Try their humongous pasta (God bless the size of the plates!). We tried the carbonara and the one with local sausage, both were awesome. The price/quality/quantity factor of this place is unbelievable.

We spent 90 days in Bracciano and believe they probably have the nicest and freshest looking Porchetta available. In addition this is a very quaint looking restaurant with many offerings. Centrally located just across the entrance to the castle. Very friendly staff. Make sure you take a peek at the "cave" entrance to the rear of the kitchen.

We dined here the evening and enjoyed the setting along the wall of the castle. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The steak was a bit over cooked and the pasta with clams had too many tiny chips of shell to be truly enjoyable.

Stopped by for an inexpensive lunch, 5 euros for pasa, the same for plates of antipasto, all tasty, all served with friendliness and enthusiasm. The place was packed with locals getting their lunch. Highly recommended.

We had an excellent lunch here together with friends following a visit to the Castello Odescalchi Di Bracciano. The staff were polite and welcoming and the service excellent. We were served with a welcoming glass of prosecco and an amuse buche. Simply cannot fault them. The food was first class and beautifully presented. They were able to offer gluten free options and were quick to point out the items that contained gluten.Very reasonable prices as well. Definitely worth another visit.

We were new in town looking for a place to eat lunch. How lucky were we to stumble on this gem. The waitress was friendly, helpful and suggested a seafood degustation. It was all cooked and presented perfectly. She then suggested ravioli to share to finish it off. What an amazing lunch we hadCaro cliente,Grazie per i complimenti che ha dedicato a mia moglie e per le bellissima recensione che ci ha lasciato. A presto!

Bracciano's Ristorante del Castello sits atmospherically beneath the impressive behemoth we later visited. It enjoys the ambiance afforded by the historic castle's largesse, presenting in itself an otherwise indistinctive visual character. Our young waitress proved both charming and supportive. (I'd forgotten to leave her a tip until returning to correct my error the next day).We began with a simple sliced fan style carciofi in EVOO, lime and shaved percorino at E11, a little high in price but the immediate area has a certain chi-chi vicino Romana authoritarian aura. Our thick pastas, possibly homemade, sat in a neutral red tomato sauce, topped with a small dollop of bufalo mozzerella and a wimpy teaspoon of chopped uncooked red shrimp which was supposed, one imagines, to lend impressiveness. The plates were pretty enough, but pricy and bland at E16 x 2. A decent glass of house white was E5. We had a bottle of still water and two (ugh) virtually COLD cappucini. The total bill with tip for so modest a meal came to an imposing E64.As we walked around the corner a bit we saw a (nice looking place) restaurant special lunch offering which included starter, primo, secondo, water and coffee for E18 pp. Peering at the plates, the offerings seemed more appealing as well as an outstanding value. However there was no imposing castle vista if one bent a chair 90 degrees left and 45 degrees back as was the case in our experience. Rating this experience average had more to do with the charming server than anything else. I suspect otherwise we'd have done a 2/5 stars.

The restaurant looks just up to "ok", some of the chair covers were stained.The waiters were unhelpful and clumsy.We were not offered a taste of the wine (which is a normal standard) and the bottle was just left on the table.The starters:Antipasto di terra consisted solely of few cured meat slices and a chilly jam to pair with god knows what.The sauteed mussels were just not fresh.The Mains:Fried shrimps were apparently good.Fried lake fish was horrible, if you know the different species you would have realized that two out of three were not what was written on the menu. The lowest bit was the batter, bright yellow, tasted like frittata, IF and I say IF it was handmade I heavily question by who and what training he/she has on cooking.We have never been asked if the food was ok.The prices are absolutely stellar high compared to what is served.Though but absolutely accurate.
