"Had a fabulous birthday dinner @ Castello. Service was very pleasant-waitress recommended a lovely arugula and poached pear starter, and brought a chocolate cheese cake for dessert when she found out it was my birthday. Main courses were both very delicious - I had veal tenderloin saltimbocca, and my husband the osso bucco. It was all in all a wonderful evening (and the reservation through Open table was without a hitch - a good idea as the restaurant was full and we would not have got in otherwise)"

"Family of 4 with two teenagers enjoyed a great dinner at Castello's over the Easter Weekend. They changed our reservation three times to accommodate our check-in gone awry and that was very much appreciated. The service was excellent, everyone enjoyed their meal and the wine list is extensive. I would definitely recommend Castello when in Banff."

"Fine Italian dining without the outrageous price. We always dine at the Castello when we stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs and this time was no exception. Great selection, including gluten and dairy free options, a wonderful kid's menu (which is more creative than simple chicken fingers) and a sinful dessert offering. A smaller restaurant with a romantic vibe. Beautiful furnishings and extremely attentive staff. The roasted garlic and bread plate is not to be missed."

"The existing reviews on this restaraunt lead you to believe you are getting more than you actually do. I was not impressed by the ambiance or the food. I would not go back, nor would I recommend this place. Both my fiance and I did not enjoy the food and that never happens. We dine out frequently and feel confident in saying the quality of this food was less than poor. The food was to salty and had no other taste beside salt. The price of entrees are to high if we are matching quality with cost."

"Excellent service, excellent food!
My only suggestion, and this would only be for personal preference would be to avoid the Italian music!!"

"This was overall a great experience. We chose the location on a friends recommendation. We were met by Eric at the front door, who in the end was the Manager of the restaurant. It was busy, every table was seated just about. We had no wait seated right away. Paul out server had a number of tables, but was there for us the entire night. It was as if we were his only guests.
The food was fantastic, I had the breaded risotto and my wife the wild mushroom bruschetta, both were amazing, and almost enough of a meal on their own. For mains we had the seafood pasta and grilled swordfish. Both dishes suggested by our friend. They were very good. Desert was cheese cake and coffee. Everything was just as you would expect. 5 stars!"

"The food and view were amazing. I had made a few requests and they were both looked after perfectly. The staff was efficient and very polite.
I would recommend this place especially if you were looking for a nice romantic evening or special occasion. With 360 windows, the view of the castle and mountains are spectacular"
