La Pergoletta a Castello, dal 1925 — Restaurant in Castel Viscardo

A group of 9 of us were staying at Rocca Di Benano (check it out too) and the owner recommended La Pergoletta as a nearby restaurant. It was a very quiet time in the hill towns outside of Orvieto (first week of October). A few of us stopped in one afternoon for antipasti and wine. The service was so lovely that we asked if all 9 of us could come in for dinner and they took our reservation.||When we returned we realized they had opened just for us. THE BEST GNOCCHI EVER. have always heard gnocchi should be like little pillows – these met the mark. And the mushroom sauce was wonderful with them. All the other dishes were thoroughly enjoyed as well including: wild boar ragu, melted cheese and ham, pastas… We also indulged in several desserts, all of which were wonderful. A stand out for me was the panna cotta. On top of all that we were served warmed sweet wine with biscotti – delicious! And a bottle of lemoncello (good thing it was a “nearby restaurant”).||I cannot say enough good things about our experience at La Pergoletta - service, food, atomosphere. I highly...

I travel the world for work and have a vacation home just outside of Castel Viscardo. I visit this part of Italy as often as possible. Whenever I visit, one of the highlights of my trip is to have a meal or two at La Pergoletta. In the summertime, La Pergoletta's terrace under the pines is a welcome escape from the noise and heat. The rest of the year, the cozy, tavern-like cafe with its vaulted brick ceiling reminds me of the Italy I first discovered as a graduate student more than 30 years ago. If you can find a grilled pork chop anywhere in the world that is better than that served by Luigi, Gaetana and Anita, I would like to know where! ||||I have also stayed in the hotel on a few occasions, when my own house was rented. The rooms are very clean, the beds comfortable, and most of all the environment is extremely peaceful and quiet.
