    Always a great dining experience. Instead of eating at the bar, we opted for a table for 2 on V-day. I never realized how far back the restaurant went, so much room! The salmon with risotto is delicious. And the live music was a lot of fun. We'll be back soon. - LeeAnn

    How good is the food? We ate there Monday and again Friday (Valentine's Day) We have eaten here several times and have enjoyed different dishes each time and thought each of them was wonderful. This last visit, our server, Jan, recognized us and expressed her pleasure at our return. Moreover, when she brought the desserts we had ordered, she also treated us to an amazing chocolate mousse as a thank-you for returning so soon. Do yourselves a favor and dine at Mimmo's

    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.
