We used to love this place, haven't been there in a few months, and don't know what happened but it's far from what it used to be. The gracious owner and his friendly daughter, always on site in the past, were nowhere to be seen. Our first clue that it's changed (and, in all likelihood, under new ownership or at least management) should have been the valet parking that's now on hand to move your car 25 feet from curb into backyard parking lot. The next reason for dismay was the fretzy screaming three year old seated at the table in the center of the restaurant (conveniently situated to disturb ALL the diners). The kiddy noise segued to a DJ singing karaoke. Forget romantic, relaxed, decent conversation. All this previewed disppointing veal dishes, heavy on breading that had gone gooey in the too intense lemon sauce before it got to the table. If you loved this place in the past, do yourself a favor and don't go back. Remember it for the lovely out of the way Italian restaurant it used to be.. It's definitely NOT that anymore. There's little left of the Il Castello we used to know and love.
Pros: Service is prompt and attentive
Cons: Food is disappointing. Ambience shot dead by overly loud DJ.
