    Food was excellent and service was great. Only issue was if you go to this restaurant make sure you ask for dining room seating, if not you will end up in the front exterior covered patio and it’s really noisy from the street very small and tight quarters.

    Food was not up to their normal standards. I realize it was Valentines Day, but they had a limited menu and it really was not that crowded...

    This was our first visit to this restaurant we found the prices inflated for Valentine’s Day, and we felt very, very rushed. It seemed they just wanted to get us out as quick as possible to get another table in. We found it very expensive and very noisy. We will not be back.

    As we have been here many times, the food was as fabulous as always. Salads, entrees, wine all wonderful. Now the not so good. Service was terribly lacking as we had to pour our wine and after each course served no one came by to see if all was ok. This is the first time that the service was bad so I definitely blame the waiter. Hopefully this will never happen to us again. It is way too nice of a restaurant to have questionable service. Not nice.

    Valentines is not a good night for dining out Too busy way too noisy. They tried getting you and out as fast as they could. I will do something different for valentines next year for sure. It was a terrible experience. Sorry to say.

    Castelli’s is our favorite Italian restaurant. We have bring family and friends here for more than 30 years. The service staff is quick, professional and knowledgeable. My favorite is their veal dishes since that is a dish I do not usually prepare. My husband loved the chicken Parmesan because here we can order it not breaded. The food is always hot and delicious. Can’t say enough about the pasta dishes and always hot bread at the table. I love the nights they have live music at the bar. They offer valet service too. Highly recommend you try them.
