Overview & Highlights

Welcome to Pizzeria Da Gherardo, an enchanting culinary gem nestled in the heart of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Italy. Located at Piazza dell'Erbe, 12, this charming pizzeria is where traditional Italian flavors meet a warm, inviting atmosphere. With the aroma of wood-fired pizzas wafting through the air, Gherardo himself takes charge at the oven, crafting pies that are often described as nothing short of masterpieces.

From the moment you step through the doors, you're embraced by a unique ambience that reflects the rich history of the region. Patrons rave about the eclectic decor that transforms the space into a cozy haven, evoking feelings of home and comfort. One customer, Rita Thomas, captures this sentiment perfectly, referring to the staff as a close-knit family and the menu as a delightful mix of traditional and inventive offerings, all lovingly prepared.

As for the food, it is the star of the show. Guests have been enamored with the pizzas, particularly praising the perfect balance of soft, pillowy crusts with a satisfyingly crisp char.

Wow, what a place! The food, the atmosphere, the live music, the service - everything was top notch. We had starters, pizzas and desserts and everything was delicious. I wish I could come back every day!

EXCELLENT! This warm and eclectically decorated pizzeria is tucked away in the labyrinths of old Castelnuovo. Walking in feels like coming home. The staff are obviously close like family. The regular menu offers exquisite pizza and second-to-none bruschetta. The specials are offered on a handwritten sheet and are both traditional and unique. The food is lovingly prepared and served. Gherardo reigns supreme at the wood fired oven - a master in this environment! We ate here 3 times in a week and a half, and the restaurant was closed Monday thru Wednesday (alas). EXCELLENT!!

This place is amazing! The pizza is so soft and yet has that crispy burnt flavor that you want on your crust. The toppings are so fresh, the bruschetta is probably the best I’ve had … and I’ve been around Italy a lot. The options on the menu - you will want to come back again….Trust me. Unfortunately they are closed Mon-wed which broke my heart (for real). The service was excellent! I will 2,000% be coming back to this restaurant next year when I’m back in Italy.

It has been the best pizza/ bruschetta/ tiramisu of our trip in Italy ! The place is authentic and so well decorated, the staff was great. We highly recommend this place ! Also great choice of music! Thank you

The pizza was the best I ever had! It's been one year since we went and we're still dreaming about the food! Absolute recommendation! The only bummer is the service. It takes quite long and I didn't really feel seen as a guest.

Incredible Pizza! Saw it was rated 5⭐ on Google and found it hidden in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. Beautiful little restaurant, wonderful staff and chef & the pizza was the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had pizza in Naples!
