    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.

    We have literally NEVER had a bad meal or poor service at Enzo's and we have dined there countless times in the past two years. The food is the best Italian we have had since moving to the desert.

    I hesitate to say how much I love restaurant, but only because it is fairly small and I want to return again and again. The food was excellent, and everything I want in an Italian restaurant. Great service at the table and at the bar. The decor and lighting are tasteful and romantic and the black and white photos add a dash of excitement to the proceedings. Patrons are encouraged to dress nicely, which is a welcome relief!
