This place had really good fried chicken. If you want fried chicken please go here and they will set you up with a plate of delicious that you will not be able to finish. We had a house salad which I would have preferred tossed with the dressing but it wasn’t. Now I want to talked about this restaurant’s take on toasted raviolis. Before I say anything I want to make note that where I live is close to St. Louis which is famous for toasted raviolis so I say everything from a standpoint of toasted ravioli expertise. Castelli’s toasted ravs are big and a bit like a small biscuit. They have a rich meaty center and once the marinara sauce has soaked into the crust everything really comes together. I am a sauce guy so I definitely recommend getting plenty of it for these guys. Staff was very nice and the atmosphere was right out of a clean and fresh steakhouse reminiscent of a Sunday Ponderosa restaurant. You will like it so make the trip and get the fried chicken and maybe skip the salad. 9/10 would recommend

Parking: Super family kid and elderly friendly.

Kid-friendliness: Perfect place for a birthday party or other celebration lots of room and great family friendly atmosphere.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is extremely wheelchair accessible

Excellent fried chicken! One of my fellow diners had to request baked chicken due to dietary restrictions and, unfortunately, the baked chicken was dry and bland. Stick with fried chicken if you can - there's a reason they're famous for it!

I wish I could say something good about today's visit to Castelli's...
●Always a highlight when we want to go out to dinner and drive the hour it takes to get there... Their fried chicken has always been a delight to look forward to...
But today's experience was a big disappointment... The chicken prices have gone up and the chicken piece sizes have gone down ......... The dark chicken pieces I received were Lilliputian in size... I thought a mistake had been made, for when I saw my drumstick, I thought it was part of a wing.... I asked the waitress ( More on her later) about the small size and she agreed it was small and she would bring me 2 more.... I had finished with my meal by the time the extra drumsticks arrived, so I took them home.... The drum sticks that I took home were no bigger than the ones I was served at the restaurant... Once home, I measured the drumsticks and they were each less than 4 inches long ...
The service was very sub par.... Never were we asked for our water to be refilled.... And not until the end of the meal did she ask to refill our other beverages...
Like I said, Very disappointed today... It will be awhile before I darken their door again....
