It has been quite a while since I dined here after quarantine in 2021. Ordered some appetizers such as Fritto Di Pesce Misto and Insalata Della Casa, and they were solid. For main courses, I had Linguine Al Castello, Involtini Di Vitello, and Seared Ahi Tuna with Penne. The presentation was decent, but some dishes tasted mediocre and could use an extra touch of spices or savoriness to elevate the taste. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was alright. I would rate the food a 3.5/5 based on tonight’s experience. Dear manager, Thank you for your reply! 💕I really enjoyed my meal at Al Castello Ristorante. Regarding the Grilled Ahi Tuna, I think adding a bit more spice could enhance the flavors. Perhaps a touch of paprika or cayenne pepper could give it a nice kick. Additionally, a slightly thicker reduction sauce, maybe with a hint of balsamic vinegar, could complement the tuna beautifully. Just to let you know that every customer critiques the special dishes in a different view, and the suggestion I apply on improving taste may not work for every single customers.

My mom and I recently had dinner here. The restaurant recently moved from a smaller location around the corner and I wanted to try the new location. The place is large and spacious. Love the chandelier in the lobby. They give you a basket of garlic breadsticks. These were so good. Not too garlicky. Mom had the Gamberi as vino Bianco - jumbo prawns sauteed in white wine sauce served with a side of penne pasta. She really liked this. Lots of big prawns. Nice light sauce. Not heavy at all. I had the Vitello al Marsala - Veal sauteed with mushrooms in a Marsala wine sauce, with a side of veggies instead of pasta. This was so good. Lots of mushrooms, tender veal, good flavor. Veggies were cooked nicely, not mushy. For dessert, mom had the salted caramel gelato. She loved this. Very tasty. Large portion. I had the cannoli. This was really good. Crisp shell that was easily cut with a fork. Flavorful cream inside. A great local Italian restaurant. I will be back.

I can see why it’s empty at 7:30 on a Friday evening - the food is sub-par and so is the service. They are all busy folding napkins while I sit here trying to get someone’s attention about the faux risotto they served me with rubbery seafood….and bits of shell in it (its in no way a risotto). The environment is basically an event hall with a bunch of tables all lined up across the floor. The recessed spotlights are too bright and it feels like mid afternoon at a firehall charity BBQ. It also seems that, like many kitchens around here, the kitchen is out of salt. Do not recommend.

Excellent customer service! You are greeted with a smile, and infectious energy. Tried their special bruschetta which was served with thin slices of pears, wasn’t disappointed. Their special pizza could be switched up a bit. I would recommend their Penne Romagnola, it had strong flavors, and was filled with delicious cheese. Their bread sticks are freshly baked and super soft. The staff was very attentive, and checked on us regularly to ensure that we were enjoying our meal. The atmosphere was friendly, with wooden chairs, an open kitchen, and interesting prints.

The restaurant is easy to get to inside is great decorations the staff are friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. The waiters are attentive to your drinks and make sure they’re full and any appetizers and make sure to refill so it doesn’t run low.
