"We went on a very busy Friday evening. We've always wanted to try this place out bury never had the opportunity until now. When you walk into this restaurant, I felt as though I was transported to a small Italian restaurant nestled in Venice...it wasn't the decorations but possible just the building itself that reminded me of restaurants in Europe. Although the place only has window units, it wasn't as hot as the 100° heat outside and it was welcoming. Note to everyone: make reservations for Friday or Saturday evening as they are packed! We didn't know this and the lady asked if we wanted to sit outside and because it was nearly 110° outside we asked if we could sit inside. She stated they were completely booked but she will do what she can. There was a large group of 15 that had reservations and her and the owner, Luigi, made accommodations to fit my family of 4. You can tell the atmosphere was one where these people are regulars the way the owner interacted with them. The menu was extensive and had everything for everyone. They also gave you complimentary garlic bread that were beyond amazing! This can be a meal in itself! They came out piping hot and fresh! Beware, you can get full off of these alone! One is not enough! We ordered the following: 1. Cheese pizza 2. Chicken piccata 3. Chicken tetrazzini 4. Spaghetti with meatballs Ask my daughter and the cheese pizza was two thumbs up, ask my husband and he said the pizza was really good! Great flavor, not too thick, not too thin for their liking. I ordered the chicken piccata and it was very good. The only criticism I have and it's a weird one, was that I thought there was too much chicken. Don't get me wrong, I like chicken but when it comes to pasta, I love pasta and the sauce much more! Next time I will ask for less chicken and more pasta. It was great. Not too buttery, capers gave it a punch, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. My husband had the tetrazzini and I will tell you I absolutely thought it was better than mine! I loved his more and it had such a great balance of flavors of peppers and artichoke and the pasta was perfectly cooked. I will probably order this next time! My son ate the spaghetti and meatballs and said it was the best spaghetti and meatballs he's ever had! He tore right into it and loved it, which is rare. The meatballs had great flavor, but the sauce reminded me of the chefboyree, which my husband loves so he loved it as well. Update: we are here again and did the meat sauce and it was soooo much better in my opinion. I ordered some Dessert and all were so good. The owner is incredibly nice and accommodating! The service was great as well! I love this hole in the wall! Love this place! Definitively Recommended!"

"Small little spot nestled in between some big trees, behind Castroville cafe and beside a sweet little coffee shop. The service was the best, and for a small town, definitely expected! Blah! I hate when service isn't at least friendly. Anyway, the food was so good!!! Started with fried pickles which are fresh, thinly battered and yummy!!! The pizza though y'all! It was so, so good. The crust was thin and crispy but chewy. The sauce was tasty bu not over powering. Covered in yummy, fresh and delicious mozzarella, perfect pepperoni on Italian sausage. For the pizza alone, I'd be back for sure. Inside is a very small restaurant. Outside is a nice sized patio and maybe on a nice day would be great. Read some reviews on here that they had live music, but when I asked about it, they said they hadn't done live music in a while...??? The coffee shop next door! Go there too! Super cute too! Love me some Castroville, down home locals."

"It's been a long while since the last time my wife and I were here. The Castroville Cafe is really a charming place, located in what used to be an old house. Very nicely decorated inside and out. The food is what you come for and not the ambiance but it's really nice when the two work so well together. My wife and I shared a sandwich called the Rachel, sliced turkey, coleslaw, Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing on toasted rye. Now I'll be honest here, that first bite of the sandwich was good but I thought it was a little sweet for me. I think it just surprised me a little bit, I wasn't expecting that and I don't know why, it plainly said it has coleslaw and thousand island dressing. Well that sandwich was delicious. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also had a cup of chicken tortilla soup with the sandwich. You wouldn't think that would be a good soup and sandwich combination but you would be wrong. The soup was homemade and it was also super flavorful. My wife had the potato salad for her side and she really enjoyed it. It can seem a little pricey, but you won't feel that way after you taste the food. The waitstaff was very attentive and they couldn't have been nicer. Even the people seated around us were talking about how good the food was. If it's a nice day, sit outside on the front porch and people watch. If it's cool outside they'll even bring you a blanket. I think you'll enjoy this little jewel of a restaurant in Castroville."

"--- **Takeaway Meal Type: Other Price per Person: $1–10 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5** I recently enjoyed a takeaway meal that exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The food was absolutely delicious, earning a perfect score of 5 out of 5. Each dish was packed with flavor and freshness. The service was equally impressive; the staff was friendly and efficient, making the entire ordering process a breeze. Lastly, the atmosphere, even for a takeaway spot, was inviting and pleasant. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fantastic meal at an affordable price! --- Let me know if you’d like any further modifications!"

"hillside is a lil surprise directly at the autobahn at the top of the hill with a wonderful view. the bistro food was delish, and our bartender, sometimes server james was exceptional: very friendly, made drinks as we like em, and had cleverly fast and from the manschette funny comments as we chat. future stratified counter on the stage. the menu had variety and restaurant was hip. we sat on the surrounding terrace for all our meals. the club sandwich and caesar salad and my biscuits with honey and butter were our faves. now. the pool has a cool factor going, but only a big suggestion. to help the loud 2 track thoroughly beside the hotel/pool to have the guests through music outside: also it would add the already vintage /modern deco vibe. great curse!"
