Il Castello

Our favourite Italian in Newark by far! A family owned and run restaurant with a real Italian menu. The menu set up is very authentic with choices that remind me of eating with friends in Italy. The food is wonderful (veal a favourite) from starters to desserts. The service is professional and very friendly! A must!

Il Castello is a very good restaurant in a town with an abundance of Good Restaurants,
I have eaten here with my wife on more than one occasion, in our opinion this restaurant is Special enough to use for special occasions, but not so exclusive that you can’t use it for a casual night out.
It has some pretty weighty neighbours, Café Bleu, and the newly opened Moorings in its midst, but It easily holds it’s own.
The atmosphere is very calm and relaxed, the Italian country theme is carried well throughout the dining room and reception area, where the impressive wine rack is on display.
Service is Brilliant some of the best in Newark,
The food is Brilliant, plenty of time to enjoy it, you aren’t rushed,
and as an endorsement we have seen real Italian customers on vacation in the UK using the restaurant.
The Location and current re-​development of what was a handy car park makes it very difficult to park near the restaurant, and it doesn’t stand out from the road which is a shame, but also makes it feel slightly more exclusive.
Well worth a visit.

Very tasty meal.
I recommend the duck.
Good service.
A little expensive.
