    I had a wonderful 65th birthday celebration at Castellis with my friends . I had the risotto de mare which was delicious and we started off with the escargot and stuffed mushrooms . They sang happy birthday and gave me a piece of pie with a calendar . Very happy with the service and food .

    The food as usual for Castelli's was great. The Service was unusualy poor. We sat down with our menus and our servier asked if we would like any appitizers. We told him we would start with salads which we ordered. After less than 5 minutes our salads arrived. We had barely look at the menu at that point. One of the staff took our menus and placed our salads in front of us. After finishing the salads we had still not ordered our entres. 20 minutes later we had to ask of our nenus back so we could finish ordering.

    This was our first experience at Castelli's and it was a very good one! Every box in our estimation was checked and done well, from the Valet parking fellow to the great Cheesecake desert. The perfect waiter is always so appreciated and we got one! Thanks, Bill and Traci Coleman

    Was taken aback at the expediency of getting seated, having order taken, and meal delivery, all while watching the restaurant fill up quickly. The service was superb. The food was delicious. Will definitely return.

    Love Castelli’s every time …. Was a bit unhappy to be sat out front and not in the main restaurant. If we would have been inside we would give all 5’s The food and service is wonderful, the garlic bread is amazing!
