    Something isn’t right when your food comes out 5 minutes after you order it. Sadly, some of their meats seemed pre-cooked. Even the table next to ours was shocked when their food came out in record time? Maybe it’s a turnover thing?? Not impressed!

    Once again, Castelli's did not disappoint! We enjoyed the caprese salad, the outstanding bread! My husband raved about the cioppino. I loved the tortellini and can't believe I had ever ordered it! Topped off with creme brûlée and cannoli. our favorite place to go when we visit the desert. See you in Oct!

    We live in LaQuinta part time, but ALWAYS go to Castelli’s for our special celebrations or whenever someone is staying with us. Never ever disappoints. You feel special, never rushed and taken care of.

    My favorite aspects of this restaurant is it sophisticated environment, “old school“ maitre d & wait staff, extensive menu and generous pours and portions. The only drawback this visit was the location of seating, very close to the front door so that every time it opened and closed, we got a blast of hot, humid air. Next time I will know to turn down that seat!
