    Jody was a great server. Everyone I interacted with was top notch. The restaurant is small so it felt very intimate. The food was very tasty. I got the eggplant parmesan and carrots. Jody suggested a fantastic wine to go with the eggplant. If I’m ever back, I will definitely return.

    We went for my Birthday, the food was amazing! It’s pricey, but definitely worth it. We started with the calamari, it was delicious. We both had the lobster carbonara, I could eat that every night it was so amazing! The chocolate birthday cake was also the perfect end to the meal. We sat under the tree, very comfy, great ambiance! Definitely recommend!

    Our first time here to enjoy some Italian food. The pasta & beef cheek for Valentine’s Day was so delicious. It was a bit noisy & we felt very rushed tho . Great staff !

    Have been coming to this restaurant for many years. The menu used to be much broader. Was very disappointed. I chose the chicken cannelloni as my least worst option. I was concerned about the use of Gorgonzola cheese and asked the waitress about it. She felt it was not overpowering. I found it was quite strong. I did not taste the other ingredients. The wine selection by the glass was good. You have to pay for focaccia. I have had much better. Focaccia. Sadly I will not return unless I see a better menu.

    Wonderful experience at Castello Italiana in The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. As a vegan diner, it can quite often be difficult to eat at Restaurants. Options are limited, if any at all. When the Chef heard he had a vegan guest arriving, he went above and beyond! He came to the table, eager to modify any dish I desired and it was delicious. Can't wait to come back!
