Linguine Di Mare
Janet H.

Great little Italian place! A bit pricey, but the service was wonderful and the food was delicious. My husband ordered the Linguine Di Mare and I ordered the Linguine Alle Bolognese. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. But the cheesecake we ordered for dessert was the hit of the evening! Highly recommend.

We had a great meal at Castelli's and wonderful service from Gabriel! The garlic bread was amazing, we then had the lobster ravioli and veal cannelloni. For dessert we had the cannoli, which were delicious as well.Great experience overall and we will be back!

Excellent Old School Italian restaurant. It took them 15 mins or so to seat us past our reservation but the service was great once seated. The complimentary garlic bread is excellent, and they brought us sharing plates to split the salads we ordered. The salads feed 2-3 each. The entrees were very large portion sizes. I liked my ravioli florentine and others enjoyed a chicken piccata, a veal Parmesan, and a linguine bolognese. For dessert we split the tiramisu and NY cheesecake - for me the cheesecake was the winner there. The water service was great and the cocktails were large.

Great wines!

Best dirty martini w blue cheese stuffed olives EVER! This bartender is legit! These servers are professional, just slow tonight. We finally were served bread, then came a great chopped Cobb salad. By the time this came, I finished my drink. The best meal was the night's special- sliced ribeye on fettuccine Alfredo. Wow! Unfortunately, we've had better lobster ravioli. Tonight, it was dead average. Don't worry, we are big fans of your restaurant Michael & John! We'll be back.

We never go out on the actual Valentines night, we go the day before instead, when the servers are less stressed and the kitchen is a little less slammed, so we honored this practice with a 5:30 reservation at Castelli's, a fabulous old school Italian restaurant, complete with a delightful menu, an abundant staff and a live piano player. We were greeted warmly, immediately seated, had water and menus in a flash, and asked about drinks. The staff is the most attentive you will find anywhere, chatty, knowledgeable and a joy to interact with. I am not a drinker but my sweetheart likes a Prosecco, and they had a split which was the perfect size for her. We shared a Caesar salad on separate plates, nicely dressed and with small croutons, along with their yummy garlic bread. We had the Cannelloni and the Fettuccini Alfredo, the house specialty, this time with chicken, which they dice and mix into the sauce. A great idea. For dessert, we chose the chocolate mousse, though the spumoni also caught our eye. Next time. We never felt hurried, even as we realized that they probably needed to turn their tables as the night moved on, especially being in the first seating. We look forward to a return visit to sample other parts of the menu and see those friendly faces once more.

We came here for a family dinner while staying in Palm Springs for a long weekend. We love this hidden little gem. The service was great from the moment we walked in the door. The old time Palm Springs/Hollywood Italian diner is such a classic. The ambiance is candle lite with old photos with Hollywood celebrities painting the walls. We ordered Bruschetta, Beef Carpaccio, Fried Artichoke and Caprese to start. For our mains we ordered Filet Mignon, Chicken Parmesan and the Veal Chop. Everything was excellent and service was amazing. We love it here! Can't wait to come back!

Fried Calamari
Mira Y.

First Time here. We were visiting from OC and made a reservation through Open Table. I loved how convenient it was. When we arrived, we were seated quickly. It was a Friday night at 7 pm. The place was packed. They were churning out pasta left and right. We enjoyed the garlic bread, calamari, and our baseball sons enjoyed spaghetti with meatballs. The salads are mid. The side of eggplants was exactly what I wanted, some gooey mozzarella cheese pull. Prices are within market of what you would expect. Service felt transactional and rushed but I understand it's to get people in and out. I think that would have brought it up a notch. I would suggest Valet if you can't find parking.

Wine bar doesn't open till 5 which was when happy hour started. For the first hour, they had wine, well drinks and draft beer. A few small plates also offered. It's a wine and tapas bar. It's along El Paseo before you hit the main shopping area, depending on which way you come. Entrance has a nice wall created by ficus trees and mister spraying to keep you cool. There's a decent patio with a good amount of seating. Inside is where the party is. The place is set with two seating area. Right when you walk in is the bar. A good amount of hi top seating and tables. Hi top seating that are along the window were actually very uncomfortable. Padded seats were so narrow that seating was so uncomfortable but oh well. There's the other room seating area which houses all the wine on shelves. I believe it's also a wine store but that sectioned was closed for a private event. We just wanted a drink before dinner so no food was had. From the looks of the dishes that were coming out, they looked really nice. Tapas style dishes made for sharing. With happy hour, there was a couple dishes that was included. Also they offered a deal with a charcuterie board and a bottle included. We just went with a glass of their house red and white. And an order of spicy margaritas. It's a full bar so that was nice. Margaritas were great and house wine was decent. The service was great with the bartender who was a doll and very sweet. Made drinks and still had time to come check out on people. It was still early but it did pick up for happy hour which is from 5-6 right when they open. The place was quite nice and well decorated. Beautiful wine bar that's great for mingling with friends over food drinks and tapas. Will definitely be back for some food.

They had some fairly steady stream of customers, some were regulars and some were first-timers like me. Next time I will try one of the salads which I saw and it looked amazing. I have a feeling they will need to be expanding if the word gets out on how wonderful everything is. I added it to my list of stops whenever I am at my vacation place in Indian Wells. You should check them out!!

The menu is extensive with plenty of excellent selections, though the pricing is definitely premium. For instance, a Cobb salad topped with fish can easily exceed $45; while the quality is high, that's a significant jump over nearby staples like Daily Grill. Service was friendly but lacked consistency; our server disappeared mid-meal without a hand-off, requiring us to flag down other staff. Overall, it's a bright, airy, and stylish spot well worth a visit, provided you're prepared for the 'luxury' price point.
