    The food was absolutely delicious! Service was amazing! Had 3 different men assisting us. Our water glasses were filled continuously. Table was kept clean (as we were dropping parmesan cheese). Staff was super nice and helpful with the food and drinks menu. Would 100% recommend 👌

    Excellent food, broad wine list and friendly knowledgeable service staff in an elegant "godfather" atmosphere make for a perfect evening every time. Our favorite Desert restaurant.

    Tremendous service, but the food was disappointing: champagne was served warm; crab stuffed mushroom appetizer was awful; shrimp scampi was overcooked and chewy.

    Castelli’s was great. Gabriel helped us navigate wine list and menu with good advice and knowledge about the food options. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our culinary experience!

    Risotto was way too salty, couldn’t eat it. The Tortellini was good. Lemon Drop & Expresso Martini were bad, no alcohol. Overall wont go back.
