    We had a lovely dinner. Very authentic. Great wait staff very attentive. Wonderful food. Love the vibe could tell this is a place where a lot of locals and/or repeat customers go. Called to change our reservation time and we were accommodated by the front desk. Overall very happy and will return as well as recommend to friends and family.

    This is one of our favorite Italian restaurants and probably the best in the Palm Springs area. On our most recent visit during tennis week, service was impeccable-- friendly, swift and attentive. Every table was full, the atmosphere lively and yet, we never waited for anything. The complimentary garlic bread was addictive. The veal Milanese was perfect. The one flaw was the order of veal parmigiana-- though a hearty portion, it was a little tasteless and bland.

    Great atmosphere with super service. Food was excellent although a little below the standard that we were used to a this restaurant. Maybe just an off nigth? We will continue to make this our go to Italian restaurant in the Palm Desert.

    Always great to return here during an annual golfing trip. Server was awesome and food terrific, though entrees are large. Beet salad and pear salads were good. The seafood risotto was tasty. Will always come back.

    My reservation was not showing up in their system. The restaurant was packed, but they managed to squeeze us in! We were thankful they were willing to accommodate us. The food was terrific. Thank you, Castelli’s.
