    Always a special experience. We try to get a table out in the front covered patio area because it's quieter, have a fantastic chicken parmesan, the pear salad is amazing, and the bread is indescribably delicious. My husband loves the chocolate mousse. We always try to eat here at least once when we visit. Highly recommend!

    Castelli’s is a wonderful restaurant, excellent food and service but way way too noisy. Almost impossible to speak above the other tables most of whom are shouting at each other.
