Hosteria La Cave Cantù
Situated within the 18C Cantù monastery, now also home to a museum and library, this modern restaurant with a friendly ambience in its dining rooms and wine cellar also boasts an attractive outdoor space and a convenient car park. The menu features personalised cuisine with the occasional exotic influence prepared by the owner-chef (his wife, who works front of house and oversees the excellent wine list, is from Ecuador). The result is colourful, generous and beautifully presented cuisine which is full of flavour.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.2/5 · 80 reviews
Hosteria La Cave Cantù, located in an 18th-century building in Casteggio, features exposed stone interiors and an elegant outdoor patio. Reviews generally praise the modern Italian cuisine, highlighting dishes like shrimp risotto, Plin ravioli, and meat courses, alongside a refined atmosphere suitable for special occasions. Service is often described as professional and attentive. However, negative feedback points to inconsistent experiences, including slow pacing, rude staff, and culinary issues such as improperly prepared seafood or lukewarm wine. While many guests find the location and food exceptional, others report dissatisfaction with service competence and food quality, indicating variability in the dining experience.
Suitable for diners seeking an elegant stone setting and modern Italian cuisine, though verifying service details beforehand is advisable.
