    It was an amazing experience. The atmosphere just takes you back. The attention to service was probably the best that I have ever seen and the food of course is top notch. I will definitely be back

    Loved everything. Food always outstanding. Service excellent. We had Calamari to start and it was perfect - lightly breaded and very hot when served. The portions was large so we easily shared it. I had Veal Milanese with Angel Hair pasta as my side - it is one of my favorite dishes and Castelli’s is the absolute best. My husband had Veal Parmesan with Angel Hair. He loved his too. The portions are large in both dishes so we we took a “doggie bag” fo home. Waiters are very attentive and did not rush us at all. They actually ask if you are ready for your main course! A very yummy and special feeling. We asked to be seated on the porch.

    I’ve never had a bad meal at Castelli’s. Love the freshness of the seafood. The flavor of the sauce. And the quality of the drinks from the bar.
