La Vieja Castilla Reviews
Una verdadera experiencia española, gracias estimada Sra. Blanca por sus atenciones
La Vieja Castillo was an unexpected wonderful find! Family owned and delicious made to order food, cool little wine menu and the family who own it are the nicest people around! I don’t live nearby but I will be back again ( and maybe again) it was just that special. A nice pairing with a visit to The Lyric.
Good food and sangria -no ice the Spanish way

La Vieja Castilla offers an old-school Spanish feel, making it ideal for a romantic evening or a first date. The intimate setting resembles a cozy mom-and-pop shop, and the family-run restaurant serves authentic Spanish cuisine with generous portions. Guests can expect attentive and friendly service, with touches like complimentary soup and garlic bread. The menu features dishes like champignones rellenos, seafood paella, and meat paella, which are huge, fresh, and delicious. The Paella Valenciana stands out with its incredible bounty of seafood, generous in both portion and quality. Each bite carries layers of flavor, hinting at a Latin American twist likely influenced by the cook. The empanadas are homemade, with flaky crusts, perfect for sharing, and the lentil soup is hearty and comforting. The atmosphere includes light music, allowing for conversation while enjoying the meal. La Vieja Castilla is a hidden gem in Blue Island, closed on Mondays but offering wonderful dining experiences any other day of the week. Guests are sure to appreciate the top-tier service and flavorful dishes, making it a memorable visit.
