    Castellis never disappoints. Great Manhattan, excellent wine, bread, salad (shared greens with pear and Gorgonzola), and entrees (cannelloni, and halibut special). Friendly waiter and excellent service.

    One of our favorite in the area and always top notch. Never come to the desert without visiting at least once.

    Anytime employees have worked in a restaurant for over 20 and some over 30 years, you know the owner takes good care of their employees. This iconic restaurant in Palm Desert has an excellent menu, large portions and very reasonable prices. We come to the desert 3 times a year and eat here every trip.

    Early to reservation, used valet parking. Seated immediately. Great garlic bread with drinks. Amazing minestrone soup, hearty with great little meatballs. Perfect tomatoes in bruschetta. Service was spectacular from gracious host to efficient waitstaff teamwork. My partner Couldn’t decide which chicken dish and chef played half portions of each, surprise and both were great. I had pork chops in an amazing sauce with apples, so good. An amazing cappuccino Romano, the chef came out and explained the two day process to make this delicious hot nectar of the gods. With a slice of ice cream pie and birthday candle, it completed a wonderful dining adventure. Adjacent tables filled with groups enjoying friends ands conversations filled the air with positive energy.

    I've visited castelli‘s three times there was even a time the chef personally came out to greet us and ask about our experience. They made both me and my guest feel like family. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. definitely one of the best restaurants I visited in the Coachella Valley.

    The best! The food, the waiters, the desert, every one who works there cares that you enjoy yourself. The classic fettuccini Alfredo with chicken and the affagatto for desert. You’ll thank me.

    Service was great. Our waiter, Jack, made us welcome and was very helpful in deciding our order. Food was delicious. Best Garlic bread ever. Room is a little noisy and a little too old school. Offset be the food and service.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Castelli's last night. The food was excellent and the wait staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The food and wine recommendations were very good and along with the service just punctuated a wonderful evening.
