My husband and I had a really nice date night at Castello. We sat in the wine room which was quiet with a very nice ambiance. The service , food and drinks were all excellent and made for a wonderful and relaxing dinner experience. We will definitely be back!

The food was exceptional, and the wait staff was abundant, outrageously attentive, and met our every need. We were there for Thanksgiving with a pre-fix menu, and the chef was still happy to accommodate our special requests. The atmosphere has a small restaurant feel with a lovely open bar area and the TV volume off. 5-star experience inside Costello's. There was one significant problem. If you do not make it into one of the 7 or 8 parking spots in the garage or need handicapped access, the parking is horrendous, absolutely awful. Truly, you must back down a very steep incline with cars closely parked on either side with a telephone pole and sign at the bottom of the hill - I am serious! To avoid both of those, which, in the rain and darkness, I did not, you must back onto the sidewalk, then drive forward on the sidewalk and over the curb to merge with traffic. Because of the dangerous parking, I will sadly never return to enjoy this awesome food.

Always excellent, never a bad meal or experience. Staff is outstanding. One of our favorite spots in our area. Try their new place in Brewster, NY as well, The Arch. We have been going to The Arch for 40 years and love Geroge and Dee. They will be missed. However, we went after they sold, and the new owners are following in George's footsteps. Food was great and the staff very attentive and friendly. Noth places are recommended highly.
