    Bread and oil
    Stephanie H.

    In town for the Sectionals Golf Tournament, and Bella Milano was located right across from our hotel. We decided to check it out with the team. Group of 6 with a reservation. Seated immediately and our waiter was quick to bring out drinks, bread, and oil. We started off with toasted ravioli and cheese sticks. Both were very good. Most of the table ordered fettuccine with grilled chicken as their entree. One person ordered ravioli, and the other ordered spaghetti. The food came out quickly, was hot, and everything had a good flavor to it. We skipped dessert, but will have to give it a try on the next visit for sure.

    Bella Milano is a very popular establishment in Edwardsville, especially for people that have grown up here. They serve a good, but not great meal and they have a friendly staff. It's better than most chains and a good place to go for large party meals. If you're a big bourbon snob (like me) you will be impressed with their bourbon selection. Probably the best selection of bourbon in town. Overall, they serve decent food but in my opinion there are better options in Edwardsville for more authentic Italian food.

    Very very good Italian. The lasagna was outstanding..,better than Mom makes! The bread with dipping oil was a nice touch with their house Italian salad. Atmosphere was comfy, quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend trying out...you will not be disappointed.

    We've been to Bella Milano a few times and the food and service is consistently good. We went last night for my husband's birthday and they were busy for a Thursday night. I would encourage reservations if you go on a weekend. They had a special items menu for May and we did end up getting their new strawberry basil mules which were sweet and delicious! The interior has low lighting and is perfect for date night. My tortellini was delicious and my husband enjoyed his Boursin filet. We also had garlic cheese bread which was delicious with very thick pieces of bread. They do give you complementary bread with oil, spices, and cheese which I also enjoy, but my husband says their garlic cheese bread is their best appetizer so we had to get it for his birthday of course. The manager even swung by our table and made sure we were happy. We will definitely be back - I really enjoy their patio, especially in nicer weather.

    A very quaint little place that's worth every penny! Please visit if you're in the southern Illinois area!

    Just a notch above the more rustic restaurants, this beautiful little spot holds a lot of wonderful memories for me, from my first date in high school, to a bachelor party dinner many years later with a great friend of mine. The atmosphere is amazing and soft, and the staff are always welcoming and willing to serve you in any way possible. A must visit in you're in the southern Illinois area!

Even though I am thrilled to have one on the IL side of the river, it's a half hour drive to enjoy. The other day I was running errands and shopping in Edwardsville. I made it a point to do it around the lunch hour, so I could enjoy an calzone. I ordered at the counter as you do and lucky for me, the cashier was patient with me. As I ordered, I kept reading the menu and changed my mind two times and finally stayed with my third choice. Having a love of jalapeños, Pancho Villa was my final choice. Pancho Villa not only gave my fresh jalapeños, it was also filled with red peppers, smoked cheddar, Mozzarella and the meat was Chorizo prepared in Smoked Chili Oil. Yum-Yum and no heartburn. For dipping or spreading on top, I was given a cup of Queso. One nice thing about SOTS, is they offer adult beverages. They have an excellent selection of local craft beers and wines to pair with your calzone. I paired mine with, Pale Ale from Schlafly. The dining room is clean and crisp. It's done in an industrial style. They have regular tables and a few hightop tables, so you can choose which one is best for you. On the tables you'll find linen napkins with reusable flatware. If you can eat an entire calzone, I am impressed. For those of us who cannot, next to the soda machine is a stack of eco-friendly to-go boxes to put your leftovers in, to take home.

    Do you love large breast? If so you need to visit Castelli's and have their fried chicken dinner…read more The breast they serve, are the largest I have ever seen and the accompanying pieces are impressive as well. Thick meaty thighs, curvaceous legs and wings that look as if the chicken has been pumping iron at the local gym. Big pieces, crispy flavorful coating and juicy meat. I primarily do carry-out and the quality of their take out is equally as good as when dining in the restaurant. Pick-up is smooth and fast, as they have a separate entrance and room for take-out. The staff is friendly and very professional. The service has that family owned business feel. If you're a fan of Onion Rings, I recommend enjoying an order as an appetizer. Their rings are super big and made in house. I do not like onion rings that come from a bag. When ordering my sides, I like mashed potatoes with white gravy. They also offer brown gravy, if that is your thing. My other side is always green beans. They make their green beans with bacon and onion. It reminds me of my momma's. With those two sides, it is a true Sunday Chicken Dinner on any day of the week. I've been coming to Castelli's my entire life. I started coming here as a child when it was called, Moonlight. Many of the locals still call it, Moonlight and no-one will correct them, because we all know where they are talking about. Service in the carry-out room is always speedy and friendly. So if you're a fan of fried chicken, I recommend ordering on-line for a pick-up. Or, treat yourself to a night out and dine in the restaurant. Remember to order the onion rings.

They had a special grand re-opening last night, which I avoided. I knew the crowds would be insane, so I came for their first day serving lunch. I like how the ambiance is old school Italian. White linen table cloths and black linen napkins. The tables are protected it a sheet of butcher paper cut to the exact size. It protects that pretty white linen. As a centerpiece, they have tacky artificial flowers. Table would look better without it. My server was quick to greet me. I ordered a Pino Grigio as my adult beverage. When she delivered my wine, I said I needed more time to look the menu over. When she came back, I asked a couple of questions and went with the chalkboard special, Meat Cannelloni with Spinach Pink Vodka Sauce. It came with a side salad and a breadstick. I chose Bleu Cheese as my dressing. The dressing was thick, creamy and had chunks of Bleu Cheese. The lunch special had two cannelloni's filled with meat and overly covered in a rich pink vodka sauce blended with lots of sautéed spinach. The sauce had good flavor, they just over poured on top of the cannelloni. Luck for me it came with a breadstick to wipe up the extra sauce. My server was attentive. She checked on me a couple of times while I dined. Sonny the owner, was assisting servers and thanking guest for coming back. From what I have heard in the community, everyone is glad Sonny is back in charge. I think they'll be doing just fine.
