Diner Reviews
  • "Waiter was great ! Went out of his way to accommodate all our requests. Food was good! Meal was not rushed. Good timing for all courses. Portions were not oversize - just right so you could eat it all!"

  • "The meal was good. The halibut was tasty and the seafood pasta was excellent. The service was outstanding. We dined with a young toddler who was unfortunately tired. The staff were accommodating, kind and supportive of our efforts to keep her entertained and calm."

  • "The Castello is very small and has a very warm atmosphere. My wife and I both enjoyed the experience overall, and our waiter was especially very helpful and attending to our needs without being overbearing. The salads we had were both very good as was the bread they served first. Our entrees were both very well made and our desserts were delicious. I have no complaints at all, but as this is one of the pricier options at the Fairmont Banff Springs, expect to walk away with a much lighter wallet than you were anticipating. We didn't even order wine!"

  • "Paul the waiter was very good at looking after us and explaining the menu, his recommendations were spot on. Food was very good, wine was good as well. As a spot in Banff this was right near the top. It is not quite as elegant as some of the finer Calgary spots. Very well worth the time."

  • "We arrived at the Fairmont Hotel in Banff last summer and were looking forward to a lovely dinner at one of the their restaurants, having dined in other Fairmonts before. We were extremely disappointed and annoyed that we had to pay a high price for a terrible experience. The food was boring and bland (not a good thing at an Italian restaurant). Let me be really honest... we thought everything was awful and would never go back. They desperately need a new chef. I hate to pan it so vehemently, but the Fairmont should know better than to offer such a sub-standard restaurant. Maybe the staff has been changed by now and it has improved, but ask before you go!"

  • "We have a small group that eats at Castello Restorante every year on our way to a skiing holiday. We have found the food, wine and ambience at the restaurant to be a of a consistently high quality. We enjoy the atmosphere of the Banff Spring and it is a pity that the other restaurants run as a buffet, rather than a la carte. We found the service this year to be exceptionally good and we had a delightful meal set off with some fine Italian wine. We will be back next year again."

  • "Once again, Castello provided us with impeccable service and mouth watering food! I had the Vegetable Risotto and my husband had the Rib Eye Steak Fiorentine. The Vegetable Risotto had lots of vegetables (perfect for a vegetarian or vegan!) and was extremely flavourful. The Rib Eye steak was perfectly cooked and was complimented by the black truffle barolo sauce. We dined with our 2 kids, ages 9 and 4, and the menu is very kid friendly - with many more options than the standard chicken fingers and fries! Penne with bolognese sauce and fontina pizza for our kids and they loved it. To cap off the night, we had dark chocolate gelati as a special treat for our son's birthday. Nom nom nom, so rich and creamy. Can't wait for next time."

  • "We went Castello Ristorante to celebrate our anniversary as part of a weekend away. The food was very good but the pace was a little quick - we felt a little rushed. Lovely ambience and good price range."
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "Italian cuisine, above average price for smallish portion size ... we sat down at 6:00 p.m. and there were lots of screaming/crying kids ... service not as near attentive as we have had in the past ... just OK."
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "We enjoyed everything at Castello but the lights were too bright making the ambience a little lacking. It has a very open floor plan which makes the room feel less private."
    Dined on 12/23/2013
  • "Great menu, superior service. If you are dining here during the winter, you can access the Castello from inside the Banff Springs Hotel. However, ladies, bring a sweater or a shawl since it is cool inside because of 360 degree windows."

  • "Great Food , well presented , on time , we had a 3 year old who was little talkative , people around us seem to not like that at all we got the stares , at the end of our meal the restaurant was empty , my 3 year old touched the other table cutlery which was set -up - the waitress seem to be overly concerned with this... the manager was a pleasent man- touched our table.. Again great place to eat - but not with children.."

  • "Never disappoints..... Amazing food and superior service worth every cent! They catered to my gluten free husband for every course. Even a special touch to our dessert wishing us a Happy Anniversary!"

  • "A good dining experience with pleasant service, relatively intimate setting and small but interesting menu. Price is a bit on high side for the level of food but probably what one can expect at a resort restaurant. The wine selection is good but definitely is aimed at those with deep pockets. That said our waiter steered us to a modest priced option that worked well with the meal. Serving portions seemed oddly variable with one appetizer more than one could possible eat and another (mussels) on no the stingy side. Mains were the best of the meal."
