Panzerotto - CASTELNOVO NE' MONTI

In the past the food in this restaurant was pretty good, not very cheap but they had lots of choice in meals and they had lovely desserts too! Even though they had tried in the past to charge too much for what we ordered, at the time it would have got 4 stars from us because the quality was good. We had not been there for quite a while (1-2 yrs because of the overcharging) but when we wanted to give them another try mid-october 2018 we were very disappointed. The restaurant is now mainly a pizzeria, they have only a few 'primo 's ' to choose from or else only pizza. So we took pizza... but what a disappointment: even the pizza 's were not good anymore! I had a '4 stagioni ', which is usually one of the pizza 's with lots of stuff on, well... this one had the thinnest slices of whatever stuff they laid on it! Also instead of proper sausage it had thin slices of cheap 'wurstel '; the mushrooms felt like they were canned instead of fresh and instead of pieces of artichoke I just found a few of its leaves! It was the worst 4 stagioni I have ever eaten in my whole life! My husband 's seafood pizza had just a few little shrimps and in the middle something indefinable... which did not taste at all! For pizza 's of 6 and 8 euros, it was a disgrace! While we were there, a single man came in and ordered his pizza. He ate not even one quarter of it and left... obviously to eat something better somewhere else! We were so disappointed about all this that we decided we would never go there again! We did not even bother to tell them as we had absolutely no interest to get into an argument in Italian... Note that this horrible meal cost us 25 euros!!!

This is a great little restaurant, tucked away in an unpretentios setting I just wish they had better lights in the indoor room, but this is a common curse in Italy and this room is better than most . If you are looking for a great meal, look no futher. Other guests at our table, on several occasions, had various 'primi ' tortelli, capelletti, etc and these never disappointed the fresh pasta is of course made on the premises . I, on the other hand, always go for the pizza, because it is one of the best I ever tried. They make a version with super-stretched dough 'tirata ' , which makes for a very large and very thin pizza. The only minus is that the dough does not have that wood-fire burnt smell I think that the oven is not wood-fired . They tend to slightly undercook the dough here, which might not be to everyone 's taste, but the toppings benefit from that! The tomato sauce is runny and deliciously fresh. The choice of toppings endless and flawless. We are used to UK prices and 4 euros for one of these Margheritas is too good to be true but true nevertheless . Worth a detour if you are in the area.

My friends and I went to this place because we wanted to have a casual, easy dinner. We all ordered pizza, and it was good. Nothing special though, i actually think mine was a little undercooked as the dough was will very white. Thankfully, I love raw dough so that, to me, is not an issue but a normal pizza should be cooked more thouroghly. We had coke to drink and cofee in the end, and we spent about 14 euros per person, which makes it very cheap and affordable. The owner even gave us a discount 2 euros) which made us happy. The waiters are kind, so we were generally pleased by the place. Most likely, we'll be back.

Buono tutto, come sempre. Non ci si sbaglia, se si vuole invitare qualcuno e fare bella figura basta andare al Panzerotto. Forse i camerieri giovani un po' inesperti, ma niente che incrini le stelle del locale.

Altissimo livello... Ci son stato per ora volte.. Ed in entrambe le occasioni pietanze cucinate benissimo...
