Sometimes restaurants confuse fancy with good food. Castellano is fancy. If that’s all that you care about then stop reading here. But if you care about whether the food is delicious, or even good, then read a little further. We dined on a Tuesday night last week. I eat a lot, but my guest is a light eater. Despite that, even she was still hungry at the end of a 7 course meal. More importantly, the food wasn’t special at all. For those who have written that carbonara is worth trying, all
More importantly, the food wasn’t special at all. For those who have written that carbonara is worth trying, all I can say is that there is no comparison between a good Italian carbonara in a northern Italian restaurant and the dish they served here. It was tiny and flavourless. Carbonara should explode with flavour. It should be filling. This missed by a mile.
The fish course was also tiny - like an amuse bouche portion. Two bites. Boring, and gone. A small boneless spare rib. Even the caviar they served was tasteless. How is that even possible?
The pea soup was really good. Great even. But that is not enough to salvage a very overpriced and boring meal.
I honestly think this place has forgotten why people eat out in the first place. It’s about the food! Small portions don’t make it taste better. Neither do fancy plates and cutlery.
