    It would be great to see more gluten free options. A lot of the dishes could easily be gluten free but it doesn't seem to be a high enough priority for Castelli's.

    The food is fantastic. We tried the Shrimp Dijon and they were great. Our dinners were great. They do try to rush you through and that’s the only downer.

    Overall experience was excellent. First time dining there, everything thing went exceptional. The Manager was very helpful in managing our table request, The server (Sergio) was terrific, did not rush through the meal. The food (veal parm and the cannelloni) was terrific. We had our desert at a table in the piano area, the chocolate mouse was terrific. We will definitely return when we are back in the Palm Desert area.

    Castelli's is one of our favorite restaurants in all the desert. We are foodies and travel in Italy for 3 months each year. Castelli's makes us feel we are back in Italy with their amazing staff and fabulous dishes. Thanks again for a wonderful evening and see you soon.

    What an exceptional experience. Neno was our server, he was fantastic, has a great personality, sense of humour and he is a chef, his knowledge of food tied with his humour made our night. The food was delicious, the portions are very generous. The restaurant was full of conversation, great energy and laughter creating a great vibe for a night out. The two bartenders with 150 years experience have many tales to share, not one bad drink was served. The walls are covered by actors, musicians, and other high profile people who have also enjoyed time here over the years. This is a must if you are visiting Palm Desert, California.
