    What an exceptional experience. Neno was our server, he was fantastic, has a great personality, sense of humour and he is a chef, his knowledge of food tied with his humour made our night. The food was delicious, the portions are very generous. The restaurant was full of conversation, great energy and laughter creating a great vibe for a night out. The two bartenders with 150 years experience have many tales to share, not one bad drink was served. The walls are covered by actors, musicians, and other high profile people who have also enjoyed time here over the years. This is a must if you are visiting Palm Desert, California.

    We had a lovely dinner with friends from out of town. We were seated in the back part of the dining room. All the tables were occupied so it was a little noisy. The food was delicious, the service was attentive- maybe a little too attentive. We know the restaurant was busy, however, we hadn’t seen our friends in a while and we felt a little rushed. We always enjoy Castelli’s and everyone was friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

    The food was absolutely delicious! Service was amazing! Had 3 different men assisting us. Our water glasses were filled continuously. Table was kept clean (as we were dropping parmesan cheese). Staff was super nice and helpful with the food and drinks menu. Would 100% recommend 👌

    Excellent food, broad wine list and friendly knowledgeable service staff in an elegant "godfather" atmosphere make for a perfect evening every time. Our favorite Desert restaurant.
