Il Cappellaccio Ristorante Pizzeria
About
Il Cappellaccio is a family‑friendly pizzeria and restaurant located in the picturesque village of Castagneto Carducci, in the heart of Liguria. The restaurant sits in a 15th‑century palace carved into the living rock – a unique setting that marries historic stone walls with modern Italian hospitality. Two spacious salons are illuminated with gentle, artistic lighting, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and welcoming. The menu is built around the classic Italian pizza made with organic flour and accompanied by a curated selection of fine wines. The owners combine their passion for authentic pizza‑making with a love for local flavors, offering vegan and vegetarian options, and late‑night service that makes it a popular spot for both locals and visitors. In the warmer months, an inviting garden terrace bursts with colourful flowers and verdant plants, providing the perfect backdrop for al‑fresco dining and the aroma of fresh basil and olives. With a casual yet high‑quality dining experience, Il Cappellaccio welcomes families (with high‑chairs and child‑friendly dishes), couples, and food‑enthusiasts who appreciate artisanal pizza in a historic setting. It is wheelchair‑accessible and accepts credit cards, ensuring convenience for all guests.
