Castello Italia

About

Castello Italia is a charming Italian restaurant nestled in the historic town of Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, boasting stunning views of Belfast Lough and the iconic Carrickfergus Castle. The venue operates two distinct dining spaces under one roof: the first‑floor restaurant is a licensed establishment renowned for its classic Italian specialties and seasonal Mediterranean menu, while the ground‑floor pizzeria offers freshly ground Lavazza coffee, homemade gelato, and an extensive selection of authentic pizzas suited for lunch or dinner. The decor reflects an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for family dinners, romantic evenings, or casual gatherings. In addition to its regular offerings, Castello Italia launches a festive “Christmas Day” set menu featuring a four‑course experience priced at £99.95 per adult (£45 per child, ages 3–12, with children under three dining free of charge) and a generous £25 deposit per person to secure reservations. The restaurant’s opening hours are tailored to the seasons: the ground floor opens from 12:00 pm to 9:00 pm from Friday to Saturday, 12:00 pm to 7:30 pm on Sundays, and between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
