Castello - Danbury

Mothers Day dinner quite good. Calamari very good. Clams a bit too dry. Our salads were very good, main courses above average. Had 3 different veal dishes. Happy enough with all. Sides were very good. Staff very accommodating, we had a toddler with us and they were very patient. We were a party of eight and left content but certainly not a 5 star. Go for the friendliness, ease of parking and good food. Will return...again

Very nice authentic Italian restaurant. Everything about this place is great, food quality, service is all outstanding but if your sitting close to the bar then some people forget where they are and talk drunkenly stupid nonsense and makes for a not so romantic date night.

Our favorite place … like family! Best espresso martinis too.

The pasta wheel was absolutely amazing. The service was incredible. Our waiter was great, cooked the pasta, wheel and salad, right at the table, which was so flavorful. I just wish they took advantage of the empty dining rooms next to us so it would not have been so loud and difficult to have conversation with a group of eight people. They only sat all guests in one dining room.

We eat here about once a month, and the food is always fabulous. The father is in the kitchen cooking, and his sons are in the dining room serving. The sons are always very welcoming, helpful, and entertaining. We were there last Saturday for another great meal. I told Nori, I want to take my time and relax between courses, he said of course, no problem. We started with drinks from the bar. I ordered a Double Angels Envy bourbon, and Sue had a slightly dirty martini. The drinks were great pours. For an appetizer we both had the Cacio e Pepe, prepared table side. Nori always does a great job making the pasta, and it is very entertaining to watch him. Wow, so much flavor it just jumps off the fork. I think this is their best appetizer. We then moved to salad, which they also made a fresh Caesar salad table side. The fresh ingredients made right there, provides flavors which were amazing. I had some extra Anchovies on the side, Sue was happy with hers just as it was.For Dinner, I had the King Filet Mignon, which was like 13 ounces. Flavorful and tender. You didn’t even need a knife to cut it. I usually order a ribeye when I go out, but this steak always has more flavor than a ribeye, and cooked just how I asked, medium rare. This was a better steak than I have had a great steakhouse. Sue had the Chicken Scarpariello, which was spicy, tender, and flavorful. Another good choice. On other occasions I have had the twin Pork Chops (not sure if that was a special), and Veal Chop. Again, excellent. This time, we didn’t have desserts as we were too full, but other times we have had their desserts, and they are delicious.I would highly recommend this restaurant. Parking isn’t the easiest, but we have never had a problem and it is certainly worth it.
