The Castello Plan

Really great atmosphere, delicious food! Very good seasoned! Portions are big! Restaurant is small but well organized, you can choose from seating indoor or outdoor. Great selection of drinks/beers. Location of this restaurant great!

Nestled along Cortelyou Road in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood, The Castello Plan presents itself as a beacon of culinary charm, effortlessly blending rustic ambiance with a contemporary twist. The establishment’s heated patio invites patrons to linger, offering a cozy retreat that complements its inviting interior. The menu, while not extensive, is thoughtfully curated, showcasing a fusion of Italian and French influences. Dishes like the Butternut Squash Gnocchi, accompanied by oyster mushrooms, browned butter, parmesan, and sunflower seeds, highlight the kitchen’s dedication to harmonious flavor combinations. The Ricotta Gnocchi, paired with asparagus and truffle oil, further exemplifies this commitment. Brunch offerings are equally enticing, with selections such as the challah French toast, served with sour cream and plum jam, standing out as a testament to the kitchen’s creativity. The beverage program, featuring craft beers and inventive cocktails, complements the dining experience, inviting guests to indulge in leisurely afternoons or spirited evenings. Service is attentive, with a staff that balances professionalism and warmth, enhancing the overall dining experience. The ambiance, characterized by tasteful music played at a considerate volume, allows for intimate conversations without the need for raised voices. While The Castello Plan excels in many areas, there is room for growth. Expanding the menu to include a broader range of options could cater to diverse palates and dietary preferences. Additionally, ensuring that all dishes consistently meet the high standards set by the standout items would further solidify its reputation.

We ordered pumpkin soup, six oysters, roasted cauliflower, a lava cake, and an espresso martini. Everything was delicious, and the drinks were well-made. The only downside was that we were seated at the bar, where the space felt quite limited.

Solid 4 stars. Seated right away on an early Friday night. Got drinks, and ordered, service to start was great, friendly and on it. Truffle fries and salad for the table were amazing and was really looking forward to entrees. I got the fried chicken sandwich with.... well more fries because they were really good. The fries that came with my sandwich were burnt? Like, fried, but then baked?? And the end were burnt? No idea, and totally not seasoned.... literally at all. My sandwich was good?? Fine, good. Also.... no seasoning. The stuff that was on it was good so like.....I had that. But then I was really hoping someone would come ask how things were so i could ask for salt...... didn't happen. Ate the sandwich, wished it had any salt.... like, salt things when they come out of the fryer....... then finally, I got to ask for some salt, and got to finish the other half of the chicken that fell out of the sandwich..... which was good!!!! Anyway, I know lots of people who live this place. I love that it's in the neighborhood. Good beers. Things that should be good. Maybe the kitchen could learn how to season. The rest of my table liked their food very much, but my wife is pretty anti salt, and her friend put ketchup on everything.

My favourite spot in all New York City!!! I love everything about this place- the food, the cocktails, the vibe, the music and the people! It feels like you’re spending time at your friend’s place and it’s absolutely adorable!!! Love you guys ❤️
