Dinner on the beautiful patio was fabulous!! The patio is very large, surrounded by towering palm trees, heated by many patio heaters and a large fire pit. There was live music as well that added to the atmosphere. The restaurant has so much character, a lovely tribute to A.P. Service was very good, food was delicious. The calamari was so good. Arnold’s favourite meatloaf was fantastic. The braised short ribs were cooked perfectly. Wonderful evening!! Highly recommend!

The front desk at the Marriott Shadow Ridge recommended Castelli’s saying it had the best, truly Italian food in the area. They were right. The fettuccine Alfredo was the lightest I’ve ever tasted. The veal chop was excellent, very meaty, little fat, flavorful and perfectly cooked. The pesto sauce on the gnocchi was too watery for my liking. Tiramisu and spumoni were delicious. Our waiters were all attentive and took great care of us. Our waiter was Jaime and he and the other waiters were great team with everyone working together helping each other. Will definitely return!
