Ristoro Mucciante — Restaurant in Castel del Monte

I love this place even though I'm a vegetarian! By the way there are food options for vegetarians too such as cheese, bread, pickled vegetables and so many sweet goods! You can also bring your own food to eat at the tables, as long as you also buy something at the shop.

The staff is very nice and friendly and the place is just stunning, we've been coming back for a few years in a row.

The employees were nice and most of them speak English. They provide glasses and plates. The toilets are ok. The line can be more or less long. We noticed that some people bring their own oil/bread/cutlery/insulated bags. The view is breathtaking and worth the long trip to make it to the top. An experience...
