Reviews for The Castello Plan in Brooklyn, NY
If you want your dinner under an hour try Dominoes across the street or any of the restaurants nearby. The drinks were so so... and we were ready to leave because of the time it took to bring two pastas out. Don't expect much at this place, not in theamount of food or the quality of the drinks, or their ability to correct once you have waited for over an hour. The Gnocchi wasdecent but the Tagliatelle was missing the pesto sauce. Under such circumstances it is common practice to handle this by saying"we should let you know that our kitchen is a little backed up and it might take a while to get your dishes out. We will do ourbest though, and in the mean time please have an appetizer on the house". This is not their fault but I did have to kill acockroach scurrying about on the sidewalk. I guess this is NYC though so I guess that goes with the atmosphere. Note to chef:get something other than canned olives, add pesto if that's in the menu, a little more salt. And waiter, ask if the guests needanything else, maybe salt and pepper. Also bring napkins with the appetizers. Also common practice. Read more
The service was amazing and very accommodating. The food however was quite dreadful. The mussels were under salted, and the... bacon was almost raw. Literally half of the fried chicken sandwich was pickled onions, the salad was the best part. Thetagliatelle was wildly bland, also under salted, and the olives were straight out of the can. The ricotta reminded me of creamcheese, and the pasta was over cooked. Only reason I give three stars, is for the service. Very nice staff. Read more
I went there twice - weekday brunch time- ordering exactly the same thing. A simple bacon cheeseburger. For some reasons on both... times, no bacon showed up. I had to mention that to the server as clearly they did not even notice and that brings to the firstpoint. The service or the lack of it. On both occasions the place was not busy at all. I was the only customer the first timeand there was just a table of four last time. Still....no napkin, water, utensils - unless you ask - or attention to a simplebasic order. I am talking about the minimum expectations when you sit at a restaurant table. Both young ladies need sometraining or they just simply don't care. The burger was very disappointing. A substantial piece of meat that was unfortunatelytasteless, no seasoning, overcooked/no juice, no sear, no kick, nothing..... like a piece of boiled meat or reheated, dried outground beef. To make it worst the bun was soaked from the moisture of the stupid wet greens - tons of it! - that they put on thebottom. If I want a salad I would order one. Also the slice of tomato could use a bit of seasoning and love - we are no dogs.The bacon which arrived on the side when I was almost finished was incredibly salty. I was angry and had a tough morning, I atemost of it but it was almost an effort. I gave this place two shots and totally regret spending money at The Castello Plan. Notgoing back. Read more
Love this place, definitely cute date spot! Have been a customer since 2011. Their drinks, wine list and coffee are delicious.... The vibe and decor are lovely. Service and food haven’t been consistent over the years, so this is why it’s 4 stars. Duringall my visits here over the last 12 months food has been great and consistent with quality. Service does luck sometimes, butnobody is perfect. ???? Read more
My favorite place for pasta & cocktails. Absolutely recommend Spring Tagliatelle with chicken, mushrooms and ricotta - that’s... the reason why I will return again and again. Plus in my personal top - potato tots with cheddar cheese and chives (I even triedto cook it at home). Cocktails are tasty and quality. Very good place, recommend it! Read more
Their drip coffee is not one to scream home about, I will however say, the service (quite friendly) and ambience is really cozy.... I marked it as a place to go and chill or mentally recuperate. They also seem to have a back outdoor patio, however, was toocold to venture there. Read more
I had a craving for fried chicken sandwiches. So I looked up for a decent place that will deliver. Honestly, I lowered my... expectations a bit because ordering fried chicken for delivery is quite tricky to expect the best product. But I was surprisedthat the chicken was not soggy with sweat but had a perfect texture and well seasoned. The pickled red onions and arugula wereperfect in this stack. I’m giving it a 4 rating because I ordered to have fries with a particular seasoning and they missedthat. Anyway, if you are looking to get good quality delivered food, I will highly recommend this spot! Read more
Good food, reasonable prices, excellent wine, and pleasant service. There's a nice set up out back though it can be a bit noisy... out front because it's on Cortelyou. One of the many restaurants I've discovered since leaving Hamilton's behind because of itsincredibly rude female owner. Going back with a friend on Thursday. Try the fried okra! Read more
