    Great food - love the veal piccata. Really nice poor on a glass of wine. When we come to the desert, we always make an effort to have at least a dinner here. Highly recommend.

    A longtime favorite of ours. You step back in time with low lights, center bar and walls filled with photos of an era gone. The food is amazing. True Italian dishes with flavors that can’t be beat. You won’t be disappointed.

    The best Italian food in the desert. Don’t miss the Tortellini Romano! Great service (especially Jack and Gustavo) that regularly exceeds expectations- and always with a smile. We especially appreciate Manager Biff’s friendliness and charm. Valet parking is also a nice plus. It’s always busy for a very good reason- Castelli’s is a great place for dinner!
