Castiglia Italian Eatery

Really great place to eat!!! The portions are so huge you will definitely have leftovers. Oh and the price for the food you get… is awesome… really reasonable prices. The staff is friendly &attentive. You will not go wrong if you dine here.

The experience wasn’t anything to get excited about. They have an odd ordering system for dining in. You order at the counter and give them your name. Then when they have a table ready, they call you. This wasn’t necessarily bad, and I was seated fairly quickly.
But then I waited for the food. And waited. And waited. Salad came out. Dressing in a sealed to go 2oz cup with a lid. It was ok. Bread came out next. Tasted like a store bought roll. But I waited about an hour for my food.
I ordered the chicken parm. And had been told the portions were huge. By the time it finally got to me, they weren’t kidding. My guess is there was about a pound of pasta on top of 2 chicken breasts. A very large meal indeed. But I couldn’t get past the flavor. The sauce was very sweet. It literally tasted like a Stouffers microwave lasagna I ate recently. I think I ate about half to ²⁄₃ of one of the chicken breasts and stopped.
I doubt I’ll go back. If I’m ever in town again. But if you do go, you’ll have large portions and nice staff. I just don’t know if you’ll like the food or not. I didn’t.

Just discovered this little gem in my home town. I live in northern Virginia but was born in Keyser. My sister just moved back to Keyser this past weekend. We were told to try this restaurant and boy are we glad we did… HUGE portions. Excellent bread sticks and huge salads to start with. I ordered the lasagna and was shocked how high the plate was with meat and cheese. HUGE doesn’t explain the size. you have to see it to believe it. We loved this place so much that a few days later my niece came to town and we took her to dinner here. My niece ordered a small calzone. My niece asked how big the small portions was and «they» discribed it as the size of a football and they were right! I ordered the spagetti. I ate dinner that night, took it home and had lunch the next day and then fed my husband and again myself for dinner. I swear! I have enough food left for 3 more dinners! I am serious!!. The taste is awesome… So folks, when in Keyser WVa-​go to Castiglia. You will be leaving happy, full and have leftovers for tomorrow. Enjoy!

Simply amazing! Portions are huge but it is good to take home for leftovers. Salads and all the entrées are delicious. The service is good. There’s always a crowd here.

Awesome food. Huge portions. Very reasonably priced. Just wish the seating area was bigger. There is often a wait. But they do take out!!!

Oh my goodness, what can you say about Italian cuisine made by real Italians. One thing is certain you will NOT leave hungry. The portions are enormous but are in no way overpriced. The servers were polite and talked with us. It was an extremely enjoyable meal. If you’re going through or near Keyser this is the place to eat!

I highly recommend this little restaurant anytime you’re near the Keyser area. The portions are HUGE, so bring your appetite! It’s usually always crowded, so you might have to wait for a bit but the wait is completely worth it.

I really really like this place. First, the portions are almost laughably huge. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they use a whole regular sized box of pasta for each plate of spaghetti. In fact, they have to layer the sauce and noodles to ensure even distribution. One plate could easily feed 3 people. The price is right too, at 10 bucks per entrée. I found the meat sauce to be a little bland. In fact, everything there is just a little bland. It isn’t the best Italian I’ve ever eaten, but it certainly isn’t the worst, and for a small town like Keyser, it is golden. I think you can expect a good, solid meal there at any time– but don’t count on it to be the best meal you’ve ever eaten. Also, the staff is very friendly.
That being said, I have to drive quite far to get there, and I find it very inconvenient that there is nowhere to change my baby when we get there or before we leave. I had to go to Walmart to do that. The bathrooms are also a little weird. If you’re a local it doesn’t matter that much, I suppose, but I found it troublesome to have to unload my baby, eat, load her up again, drive half a mile (if that) to Walmart, unload her, change her, and load her again. I would have changed her in the backseat, but it was pouring the rain.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby.

Excellent and highly recommend. Marinara sauce is superb. Portion sizes are just as described — could easily share with 2 – 3 people. The largest pasta dinner sized serving of any restaurant I have ever been to. The breadsticks are excellent — they appear to be deep fried, although I am not sure. They are to die for — a meal in itself. The pizza is also excellent, although a carry out order takes almost an hour — so call ahead. There is extremely limited seating. You order at the counter and when your food is ready, they will seat you. A bit strange — but the food makes up for it. I would highly suggest they find a larger dining room, soon! (Parking, too!) a true gem of a restaurant, in an area where most restaurants are lacking. Well worth the drive.

First when you plan on trying this place and you should, get here early. The parking area isn’t that big, so leave your gas guzzling Suburban at home!
Once you walk in, get in line to order at the cash register. They have multiple copies of the menu, so if you’re waiting in line, go get one so you can decide while you’re waiting to order. Once you order, have a seat in the small area in front of the cash register until your food is ready. When your food is finished, they will call your name, wipe off a table and seat you. Do not stand and wait for a table to open up and rush over to grab it like you’re at the Outback Steakhouse! You may be jumping in front of people that ordered in front of you and their food will be out sooner!
The meal itself is worth the wait! I hope you’re hungry too. I’ve traveled all over and these are the largest portions i’ve ever seen! I’ve had a calzone, it’s huge! Chicken parm, huge! Eggplant parm, yup, gigantic! Even the breadsticks look like baseball bats… lol Our last family dinner there a child ordered noodles with butter. Well the noodles arrived in a large bowl but they forgot the butter. We flagged a server down and they quickly rushed out some melted butter… a soup bowl full of melted butter! lol Now, nobody eats that much butter, atleast I hope not, but again, their portions are humongeous!
They have a fountain drink machine in the dining area so you help yourself to drinks, but don’t over do it, the bathrooms are tiny!
This place could do a killer business in a larger place with much more seating but as I said, it’s worth the wait if you haven’t tried it yet!
Excellent Food!

They say the portions are huge and they weren’t lying. We decided to get takeout here on a Tuesday. It’s currently Saturday and it took 6 people that many days to finish 3 dishes. Ok that’s a bit of a stretch… there were some other meals (ie Christmas dinner) mixed in between. Though I was seriously blown away at how large the servings were. If you live anywhere in the region it’s worth the drive and you could eat one dish for lunch for an entire week.
The service was polite and friendly. Also, the interior of the place was charming. I would give 5 stars but can’t rate the overall dining experience since we had our order to go. It did take a while for our order to be completed after we arrived and we called ahead about 30 minutes in advance. The dining room is tiny and the parking is limited. Aside from that everything else was good.

Awesome reviews brought us in. The food was excellent as was the service, would highly recommend this place to everyone!

One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever eaten at in my life. Their commitment to their sauce quality is amazing. Pizzas… amazing. Linguine with clams… amazing. Steak Stromboli… amazing. Pepperoni rolls, forget about it! I miss eating here so much. The people of Keyser really lucked out. One time I went in for a pizza and met a waitress who became my future wife. True story. We have eaten Italian food all across California and have yet to find anything that compares.

Chicken parm is the best I have ever had. Everything is excellent and huge! Great prices!

As always, outstanding food at an incredible value! Whenever I’m in western Maryland (1 – 2 times annually), I make my way here for one of the best Italian food experiences anywhere. The «small» Stromboli is a monstrosity of goodness for only $ 6.50. Everything I’ve tried here is excellent, and the consistency is through the roof. I give it my highest recommendation.

I ate in last week and had a pretty good experience. It is a bit confusing when you walk in since you are not sure whether you will be seated or should seat yourself. The answer is neither. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. This means I still have not figured out whether to tip or not. The employees are not very helpful with this process.
The food was outstanding. I ordered bread sticks as an appetizer but ended up just having those since the portion was huge. The sauce was outstanding which is what makes for good italian food for me. The bread sticks were also great with just the right amount of salt and garlic. It was a very good meal.

I love Castiglia’s! The food is delicious, cheap, and you’ll have plenty of leftovers to take home! I usually get eggplant parmesan or a stromboli! Make sure to get the hand made bread sticks!
The only downfall is the size! They need to relocate or open a second place. There is always a long line. Trying to get takeout food is ridiculous because you stand in the same line too.

Food is delicious and you get plenty of it! One of my favorite restaurants in town. Always a wait but well worth it.

This place was great, and just when I thought there was no quality around. The food tasted great and large in portion size. I will definitely take the trip from Frostburg, MD to go here when I want to see the beautiful mountains of West Virginia and get some great food.

Awesome Food! Huge Portions. Authentic Italian hidden away in this small town. Many positives.
The only negative is that it is always packed and takes a while to get in since there is a very small dining area. It is however, worth the wait.
