    I’m so excited to have Kiki’s such a great neighborhood gem! You walk in to a nice vibe and great food and service !! Don’t judge by the center seems dark and not busy but inside it’s busy ! We had the meatballs as an appetizer , they were tender and delicious. The date salad had a mix of texture and flavors. Black cod sauce exquisite! I wanted more bread to drench in the yummy sauce . The bartenders friendly and efficient! Kat always makes you feel welcomed . Thanks to the whole staff ! A winner

    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.

    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!

    Loved the new expanded dining area on a clear evening. Noise level was high in the space and might be addressed with some sound dammpening tiles. All was great on the food side, like always
