    Tony did a great job. Really enjoyed him as our waiter. The food is always great here. I understand it’s tradition Italian but would love more vegan options. Best Italian in Palm desert area.

    Haven’t been here for a few years. It was fabulous as I remember from before. Osso Bucco was so tasty and filling. Service was spot on by Nino. Was a little loud but nice anyway.

    I haven't been here for a really long time, and forgot how really good it is! The service is great, and the food delicious. It is a really old fashioned Italian restaurant, and that is a very good thing! Grazie per un buon pranzo!!!!

    We came into town from San Diego to spend out Thanksgiving in Indio. My daughter loves Italian and asked if we can find a place before we left. This food is amazing ! The 3 servers we had were the best so personable . I will make sure we come back and eat every single time we come to Indio. 5 stars from me!

    It would be great to see more gluten free options. A lot of the dishes could easily be gluten free but it doesn't seem to be a high enough priority for Castelli's.
