CASTELLI’S IN PRINCE’S STREET
From the nine or starts on offer, we both choose the Mussels (With tomato, onion & basil). The soup-like accompaniment certainly lifts the mussels to another tasty level. Top marks for this one.
My main course was a medium size pizza: Primavera (Aubergine, olives, tomato, pesto, peppers & red onions). It was done to a T, well endowed with the vegetables and a pleasure to polish off. The Advisor plumped for their version of Pollo alla Cacciatora (Chicken, onions, tomatoes chilli in tomato sauce, with fries or potatoes). The difference is made by the chilli and, while this dish too went down well, the extra spice may not be to everyone’s taste, so watch out for that.
A 50 cl carafe of house wine (Soave), medium dry with quite a robust flavour cost just €11.00.
The full bill came to a few cent under €55.00. Great value and it seems their early bird is even better value. So now you know!
Castelli’s own words:
Offering an excellent selection of Italian and Mediterranean dishes, Castelli's is the perfect place to enjoy casual lunches and sophisticated evening meals. The "early-bird" specials are particularly popular: a three-course lunch. The restaurant has daily specials as well as offering a regular selection of pasta, salad, and pizza dishes. Its small, warm surroundings allow for good and fast service. Perfect espressos and cappuccinos are available to round off a good inexpensive meal.

Out of 3 main dishes, we found hairs in 2! Customer service was deplorable. We received an apology for the first dish (which contained a short hair). However, the waitress tried to charge us for the second dish (with a long hair) - She said that her hair was tied back and the chefs hair was short, so she didn't know where it came from!!! I thought I was in an episode of Faulty Towers! I have eaten here on numerous occasions and was always very happy. However, I was shocked by this episode and will obviously never return.
