During our 10 day trip to Italy, we spent the majority of our time in Tuscany, eating some of the best food and drinking some of the best wine of our lives, in one of the prettiest places on earth. And this gem, which we happened to find by accident on our way to the Greve wine festival, was by far the best experience we had during our entire trip. I just can't say enough good things about this place.
The first thing you notice about La Castellana is that the tables are situated on the side of a huge hill with an amazing view.
As soon as we sat down, we noticed that the majority of the other diners were locals. Great start. We ordered the bruschetta and the cheese/meat plate. Amazing. They had a venison salami that was one of the best things I have ever put into my mouth, and the bruschetta was very good as well.
I ordered the steak with a grilled portabella mushroom. My mouth is literally watering as I write this. It was just simply amazing. Perfection. The rest of the table had steak in peppercorn sauce, a wild boar bolognese, and eggs with fresh truffles. Everyone said it was the best meal they had during their time in Italy. The table wine was probably the best we had as well.
The staff would get 5 stars even if the food would not have. It was not a serious atmosphere by any means, but I felt like it was very important to them that we enjoyed our entire experience, and we did. We left feeling like we had been going to La Castellana every Saturday afternoon for years, and knew every server by name.
If you are in or around Greve, please do not miss out on the opportunity of dining here.
