Castelli was an absolute delight! The food was not only delicious but also clearly made with love. If you're looking for a culinary adventure, don't miss the ravioli. It's a must-try and a true highlight of the menu.

I booked a table for two a day in advance for myself and my fiancé. They mixed up my booking, but they got us a table in less than five minutes. After being seated, I had to remind the waiter that we hadn't placed our order. We then waited an hour and fifteen minutes for our food to arrive. However, when the food was finally served and I took my first bite, all the inconveniences melted away. It was authentic Italian cuisine, like a plate from the heavens. Every moment of waiting was worth it. And We will definitely be back here.

Good food but slow service. After recently increasing the prices around 10-15% and super slow service (we had to go to the cashier to make the payment ourselves since it took forever to receive the check at the table), the owner had absolutely no shame in asking for extra tips.

Best Italian food I’ve ever had would be here. The taste was so refreshing and so delicious I had no complaints. The ravioli literally gave me foodgasm, it was that good. I would definitely go again just to experience that once more. Everything else was good, nice service the atmosphere makes it feel in the old days and the food was top notch.

Their food, they stick to the basics. We tried three different pastas with truffle, gorgonzola, and ham. Homemade pasta, the pasta itself -noodle- is excellent and the cream sauce is bit too buttery for me to finish everything, but savory for sure. Tried different Italian restaurants in Addis, this is the place for a creamy pasta:)

This is a cozy Italian restaurant around the Adwa Victory memorial in Piassa. Quite a glorious sight driving in when we went as the fountain was on and there were crowds, which makes the place even more memorable and worth getting to. We went there twice and there are a few highlights; the ambience is definitely that of an Italian restauarant, basic but quite aligned on how an Italian place should look like. First day we were walk-ins, but second day we had reservations. The foyer has photos of all VIPs who have patronized the restaurant, and there are plenty including Thabo Mbeki and Brad Pitt.🤗🤗 Food; I enjoyed the beef fillet steak with cream and mushrooms and the fettucinne pasta with truffle sauce, my partner also really enjoyed his fish. The salad was the worst ever and the french fries also horrid and we did not try dessert So stick to the Italian cuisine I guess. Not much Italian wine stock which is disappointing, but it is what it is. Service: fairly acceptable, but we had small issues like glass not being soo clean, and having to wipe, food handling as well might need some improvement. Service charge not included and the waiters remind you without fail. Yes, I would still go back again and again!!!!

We came with a large group and they did the best they could to accommodate us without a reservation. The pasta was very fresh and the server at the table was attentive. We waited over an hour for our entrees. The front desk cashier/manager could be more kind and welcoming. Was hoping for better tasting Italian as it came highly recommended. Not terrible but not great. In a very busy, congested area. No parking.

What a disappoint Castelli’s has become. After eating in this restaurant for the past 34 years - last night was unrecognisable. With terrible service, mutton served as lamb, which my knife couldn’t cut into, uncooked fished services which we had to send back to the kitchen and to top it off, the smell of burned food from the kitchen directly into the restaurant - perhaps it is time to move on by the owners as the glory days of once a Ethiopia eating institution is not catching up with the demand and service expected of the price of the menu. I am sorry to give such bad review but the owners and management need to take a serous look at their business as there are so many amazing Italian restaurants in Addis Ababa in competition. For us, this might be our last visit.
