Very nice! – I must say this restaurant was really good. We went for a very special reason to celebrate my aunt being breast cancer free for 5 years. We asked prior to making our reservation if we could have a pink table cloth on the table where we would all be sitting. The manager had no problem changing it from white to pink in honor of my aunt. It was a surprise dinner for her! Plus, the food and drinks were very good and everyone there was soooo nice! I've been there once a few years ago and I would definitely go back ag... read more

Great Atmosphere, Food good – I ate here after getting a $50 gift certificate for the place. We had to have a $100 food tab to use it. So we ordered a ton of food- we got tomato and mozzarella salad, bruschetta, gnocchi, pork tenderloin, filet, and chocolate cake for dessert. This added up to about $110. But then we had to have wine, and we were talked into a $60 bottle- we only planned on having a $30 one. So anyway, the food was really good, both the steak and the tenderloin were amazing. The only downside is that the pric... read more

Upscale DIning This is a great restaurant for the dating world. It is a little bit pricey but the service and food make up for that. It has a great atmosphere, and the location is in the heart of philly.

great experience – My girlfriend and I dined at Le Castagne on friday night.We had an excellent time.with the extensive wine list to choose from we were paired a great bottle of wine to go with our dinner.We both started off with salad and smoked buffalo mozzarella that is out of this world.For main course i had the quail stuffed with truffle risotto and my parter had filet mignon.The filet was cooked a beautiful med-rare and the quail was unbeleivable with its rich barolo sauce and truffle flavor went so well together.We fi... read more

Don't waste your money here at all – After reading the previous reviews, I went to Le Castagne with somewhat low expectations. I figured I could order the gnocchi as others had said, which is exactly what I did. We split the gnocchi w/prosciutto and broccoli rabe, which was okay, not great. Unfortunately, I also ordered the quail as my main entree and it was horrible. It actually tasted like the refrigerator and barely touched the food. We told the waiter, who proceeded to do nothing, there was no offer to bring something el... read more

The food was okay, but I'm not going back. – The food was fine. The service and management were beyond atrocious. As a party of one I was seated at the bar, which was fine. A short time later another woman was seated two seats down. She was disheveled and visibly intoxicated. She ordered a glass of red on the rocks and capellini with garlic and olive oil. Not having capellini on the menu the bartender tried to suggest other options and handed her a menu. The woman proceeded to yell, "capellini with garlic and olive oil." She... read more

Worst Italian experience – There are only 2 Philly restaurants on my list that are deemed as "never going here again," and Le Castagne, unfortunately, is the worse of the two evils (the other being Paradigm). Simply the worst food ever. I understand that pasta is to be cooked al dente, but not to the point where my teeth would break (not that it did, but it was very, very underdone). Maybe it was because it was during restaurant week, I'm not sure. The restaurant itself is beautiful and so was the maitre'd, but I am not goin... read more

The first time I went to Le Castagne Ristorante Italiano it was excellant. I was told to come over to Philadelpha by my friend who lives there so my wife and I were off. The food was out of this world. Everything was great right down to my dessert. I'm going to buy a gift for my wife's dentist where she works. Then I'll ask Dr. Atlee to tell me what he thinks. He's half Italian but that's not to bad. I'm all Itlian and this restuarant was "Made in Italy".

DREADFUL AND EXPENSIVE – the room is beautiful, the acoustics wonderful, the settings lovely. but service is brusque, often thoughtless, verging on rude, and the food is outrageously expensive and utterly dreadful. four of us went on a saturday night. we were seated promptly. wine was ordered. then the food came. the salads were fine, but unexciting. the ravioli special was outstanding - a game-meat stuffed ravioli with egg yolk inside, with pomegranate sauce. boar ragu cavetelli tasted like chef boyardee, the ragu virtually... read more
