[new restaurant on the block] - Castello 🍕
.
.
I recently found myself at a tasting at this new italian restaurant that has opened in the vicinity of Mad Roosta, Adobo, Cinnabon, Easy.. you get the drift.
.
Food I liked:
- Spaghetti Marinara
The spaghetti base is crunchy and it is topped with Turkey meatball. This was well seasoned, the spaghetti added a fun bite to it and out of everything I tried, I see myself ordering this again.
.
- Pepperoni Pizza
This was my second favourite. You shouldn’t go wrong with pepperoni pizza and they didn’t. The crust, cheese, toppings - all spot on. I felt the same about the pesto pizza with shrimps. (Yes I took out the shrimps).
.
Food that could be improved:
- Spinach & Artichoke Canneloni.
This was something I really was excited for but it didn’t exactly deliver. The cheese was very sparingly used and it mostly stuck to the base of the dish. It needs to be more evenly distributed.
- Chicken Roulade
The chicken was too overcooked and thus very chewy. The seasoning was off and the sauce wasn’t enough to save it. I mostly toyed with mashed potatoes but that can also be improved.
.
Ambiance: It is quite spacious. I saw two floors and a private dining hall as well in case you are hosting a party.
.
Overall: If I do go again, I’d probably stick to ordering pizzas and spaghetti marinara but to be honest, there are way too many places offering good pizza and Castello will have to work on the rest of the items on the menu to have people coming back the second, third or fourth time.

Have you tried Castello yet? What is your go-to pizza place?
