“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 they were 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....“

“My husband and I went here for dinner last night. First off, they were not organized with reservations. people were skipped that had been waiting, people walked out (Even with reservations). Second, Bar was out of draft and most bottled drinks. The appetizer i had was horrible, steak wasn't done and even after sending it back, it didn't taste good. We won't be going back. The old owners were much better at running the restaurant and food was much better.“

“Me and my wife were wanting to try something new in Alton and a bartender from Rajun Cajun suggested Don & Penny's. Not sure about all the other food but we tried the Dill pickle bacon wrapped bombs, the Cajun chicken Alfredo and the steak and mushrooms Alfredo. All was delicious. The wife would not leave my Cajun pasta alone. If you get a chance, definitely try Don & Penny's.“

“Celebrated a friend’s birthday and the evening could not have been better! Our server, Rose did a fabulous job. 4 out of 5 of us had never dined here before and Rose was so helpful with her recommendations from the menu. We started with a couple appetizers, toasted artichoke hearts and stuffed mushrooms. Both apps were very good. My pepperloin with a side of blue cheese and bacon potatoes was delicious and the steak was cooked to perfection. Tony’s is a great place for a special occasion or a date night. We will definitely be back!“

“Love their food. Great place to bring the kiddos and the whole family.“

“The chicken parmesan was kinda of good. I don't understand Italian cuisine in the USA. Tomato sauce with no spices and always the same taste, so I will say, it tasted like any chaine restaurant in the USA. Has for the service, well the waitress was nice, but more clients started to arrive, so she was nervous. We weren't finish and she already gave us the bill. I told her that we were not finished and that we wanted dessert. So, she came back for our desserts, but she didn't take our empty plates on the table. We add to push them in a corner to eat our desserts.“
