    It had been a couple of years since we had been to Castelli’s and it did not disappoint! Food and service were both excellent! This will become a permanent part of our rotation.

    Great food❣️. Service was a bit slow and noise level at the back of the restaurant was loud.

    It was my first time dining here. Our res was at 5:30 and it really wasn’t that busy, but service was still slow. I ended up ordering a filet special that was awful… the meat was really overcooked the sauce on the noodles was watery like the noodles had not been properly drained. Then we felt rushed out so they could seat a 7pm res. Will never go back.

    We are repeat diners and love the food and waitstaff. Our only disappointment was that we were in the back room and it was EXTREMELY loud. Reminded me of my large Italian-American family, but nearly impossible to have a conversation! With that being said, this is a must stop restaurant for anyone visiting the Palm Springs/Palm Desert community.

    Food was just okay. And for the high prices, the food should have been so much better. Pasta came out cold and was sent back. The veal parmigiana was fair at best. My wife’s pasta dish was not good at all. Won’t be going back.
