Michael Castelli and his brother John welcome you to Castelli’s
Enter the doors of Castelli’s and you’ll believe you have just stepped into a small bistro in romantic Tuscany.
Soft lighting, lace curtains, dark, warm woods, an abundance of fresh flowers and greenery set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. Michael and John Castelli offer you a warm greeting before seating you in the intimate enclosed patio, in the well-known “Celebrity Room” where the walls are lined with photos of celebrities, or in one of their elegant private dining rooms. These intimate spaces offer the perfect setting for receptions, private parties, meetings, and banquets.
Now in its 21st season serving award-winning beef, veal, lamb, pasta, and seafood dishes, Castelli’s has perfected an already outstanding level of service, delicious food, and fine wines.
Try the specialty of the house, Fettuccine Alfredo, as an appetizer or have it on the side with their scrumptious Osso Buco, the Filetto Marsala, a ten-ounce petite filet mignon, charbroiled and topped with a sauce of Marsala wine and portabello mushrooms, or their 18-ounce Veal Chop — heaven on a plate!
Part of the fun of dining at Castelli’s is discovering Chef Brian Altman’s seasonal specials and having your dinner cooked exactly to order, whether it’s Baby Rack of Lamb, Western Australian Lobster Tails, or their famous Castelli’s Signature Pork Chops, two juicy chops charbroiled and served with a sherry wine glaze and fresh baked apples.
After dinner, sip a Cappuccino Romano and linger over a classic Italian dessert, such as Tiramisú, New York Cheesecake or Spumoni. Absolute perfection!
Open for dinner nightly from 5:30 p.m. Reservations suggested. Catering and banquet facilities are available. Full bar and entertainment with Joe Jaggi.
Editor's Insider Tips:
- Arrive Early - in advance of your reservation. Check in - Have a drink at the bar and relax a bit before being seated.
- Nightly Specials - everything on the menu is great, but listen to the specials offer by the wait staff for seasonal items and alternate variations of the menu items.
- Serves Generous Portions - arrive hungry and plan on leaving full.
- Make Reservations - this is a popular restaurant year round. On weekends you should always call ahead for reservations.
- Patio seating - Its perfect for two or four at a table. Any bigger than that and you will want to spread out in the dinning room. This area is brighter than the dining room but has limited seating - if you would like to be seated in the patio area, be sure to request it when making reservations.
- There is valet service- but you can find parking on the curb within a short walking distance.
