Welcome to The Old Alsatian STeakhouse and Ristorante

We offer a tranquil and unique dining experience in one of the oldest buildings in historic castroville, texas.  Castroville is located 25 minutes SouthWest of San Antonio on HWY 90 west

 our Restaurant is located in one of the oldest structures in Castroville.  The beautiful and historic house was Built around 1853 by Joseph and Catherine Krust, one of the founding families of the Castro Colony (now known as Castroville).

 Later the Krust family sold the property to Joseph Carle in agreement that he would build a one room house for Catherine Krust to live in for $1 a year.  Mrs. Krust lived there until her death.  many of the current customers and employees of the restaurant say she may still be around on certain days. 

In june 2009, while digging a fire pit on the  grounds, pre-civil war artifacts were found.   officer's buckles, holsters, horse bits, bridles, pottery, ginger beer and medicine bottles along with many other things from this era were found.  In a memoir written by general bliss (a lieutenant at at the time) he talks about being camped in Castroville before the civil war began and when word got to them that san antonio had fallen and confederates were marching toward castroville the officers discussed burning castroville to the ground and taking a stand. fortunately, the union soldiers decided to scuttle allot of their equipment and retreat.  Because of this history an  official archaeological dig will take place June 12 thru June 19th, 2010 and will be coordinated by the Texas archeological research lab at ut austin .
