    Castelli’s is always outstanding. Service, food, cocktails - everything is at a different level here. This is the best Italian in the Palm Springs area period.

    It’s a great restaurant and we had a wonderful dinner and service was great. This is a very expensive restaurant for our experience with better Italian food. The seasonal pricing is a bit disappointing.

    Food was really very good. Excellent service, as expected. The atmosphere was pretty energetic when we were there because of a couple of big tables but it was a very pleasant dinner experience. Highly recommend!

    This place is outstanding. The service was impeccable. We ate the beet salad, veal parmigiana and gnocchi. All were delicious. Live piano when we arrived. Loved this place and will dine here again when I return to the desert.

    When you go to a upscale restaurant like Castelli's you expect upscale quality food. IN particular if you are at an Italian restaurant you expect aldente well prepared pasta !! Having gone to Castelli's for many years they provided that quality of food, but no longer do they offer quality food. You would be far better off going to The Spaghetti Factory or any cheap Italian restaurant because that's all you are going to get at Castelli's but cheap soggy pasta with premium prices!! It is NOT WORTH the money as was years ago!! Save your money and don't go!!

    Our waiter, Tony, recommended their fettuccine Alfredo as the best from an old family recipe. I’m not a big fan of Alfredo until I tasted Castelli’s!!!!! Also the pork chop is a must and oh the garlic bread🥰 All four of us had a great time!!!!
