A hidden Jem!!!! Living and growing up in NYC I know good Italian food. This place is unbelievable. I have stayed on Oak Island twice and both times had dinner here. Large portions and a fair price. I had the Veal parmesan with angle air pasta. The veal was so tender it melted in your mouth. My wife had the Frutti Di Mar a seafood dish, the seafood on the plate never ended. We both had enough leftovers for a second meal. Don't miss this restaurant if your visiting Oak Island!!!

Had a wonderful dinner meeting here! The house salad is a great starter and the GF Grouper modified option was delicious! The Wild Caught Salmon with veggies is a win as well! And Patrick is a great server! It can be a challenge to find GF and Pescan options. Highly recommend Castucci's Italian Restaurant!

Had an exceptional dining experience with friends last evening at Castucci's. Meals were decadent, bread was decadent, service was 5 star all the way. Small place, a bit noisey, but worth the stop for a reasonably priced meal with large servings.

Had reservations for 7 PM. However, we weren’t seated till 7:25. I guess that’s not terrible. However, there’s no place to wait before being seated. We had to sit in our car for nearly half an hour. I deducted one point for that, but the food was truly excellent. We will likely to return during the off-season and probably not on a Saturday when it’s crowded. But they really need to do a better job at spacing out their reservations more appropriately.

Food is fabulous and portions are unreal. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. It is a little small and can be a bit loud but you can overlook that. Its the only reason for the 3 stars. Staff if wonderful too !! Excellent !!

Beware of bait and switch at this joint. Placed a take out order using Castucci’s website menu. When picking up order every item was priced higher on the check than what was on website menu. When approached with this scam the proprietor couldn’t be bothered. He wouldn’t agree that his website needs to be up to date. His poor attitude was the icing on the cake - never to return there.

I had the grouper, and my wife had the garlic shrimp risotto. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! And our server, Nicholas, was very personable and attentive. We will definitely be back!
This place rocked it. True Italian food. Packed with flavor. Lasagna and bolognase we're spot on. Nicely done.

We love their food ( huge servings, great taste, always hot) and their service is always wonderful! We go there on special occasions, though, bc it is a bit of a chore finding parking when they're busy. We love it here and can't recommend it enough!Parking: Parking lot is small and can make it difficult to find a spot or even to get out.

To start, the waiter brought us bread. It was very dense and delicious. We ate 2.5 baskets and brought some home. We ordered the eggplant appetizer - AMAZING! The gravy was to die for. I got the veal saltimbocco, and my wife got gnocchi Napoli. Both dishes tickled our tastebuds with a delight that was straight out of Palermo. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable.

The best food in town. We drive from holden beach to eat here. Nothing compares to the food. The owners are great and the staff is so awesome !! Update on review. Went again tonight. 11-12-23. Wife had the spaghetti bolognese! Was awesome. I got the veal piccata which was made to perfection! Love this
