Don't let the outside make you wonder - Everything inside is Incredible!! Our friends from Castle Rock recommended The Old North End ...and the food & service were beyond what we thought - my wife and I split a calzone (lots more than we usually eat ...and every bite was delicious!) ...and save room for dessert (lots of great choices) ...and Saturday nights, there's live music! ...we'll definitely will be back!

Great place - wonderful staff and food! Our party of 6 all raved over everything ... lasagna, marsala, calzones. All HUGE portions, so many leftovers! You will NOT believe the size of the calzone (see pic). Even the drinks are large. Nice selection of desserts in the deli case. We will be back, glad they are open every day now.

This is the first place we ever ate in Castle Rock, and this is the only place that we come back to on a regular basis!! We’ve tried all other pizza/Italian places in the area and this is by far the best!! Don’t let the lack of signage in the front fool you! This place deserves to be the busiest place in Castle Rock!! The fact that they can’t get signage approved by the building HOA shouldn’t affect how much business they get. Everything on their menu is AMAZING!!! And don’t be fooled by their prices, because the portions are HUGE!! The pizza takes up an entire table and the pasta can easily last at least 2 meals. Super authentic food, and the owner James is the sweetest man you’ll ever meet! It’s really like he’s cooking a home cooked meal for you. He shows his passion for his food in everything he does. Overall, this place is hands down the best Italian food you will find and it’s in a very non-fussy setting. Please tell all your friends and come here because it deserves to be packed!! Do yourself a favor and try the meatball and ricotta pizza, baked penne with meatballs, the chicken parm, the toasted ravioli, the cheesy garlic bread, calzone (they’re huge too) or really anything else on their menu!!!

Lovely local place, not sure how I haven't been here sooner. I will definitely be back. The staff was very kind. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. And the food was yummy. My only complaints were arbitrary and definitely not worth subtracting a star but I do think perhaps they should get some menus professionally made because stapled papers is a little bit lower quality and doesn't really represent the restaurant very well. Also I was really craving something melty mozzarella I really need that so I'm not sure where it could go on the menu but perhaps a new appetizer either a classic mozzarella stick or perhaps a melted mozzarella bowl would be amazing so that is just a suggestion perhaps for the future. I did enjoy the fried ravioli however that was filled with ricotta and it didn't really satiate my craving. But like I said that is just nitpicking and personal preference. Overall I had a great experience and I enjoyed the food and the staff was very pleasant. Recommended to anyone in the area looking for a bite of italian.

James, the owner, is so personable. It's like he's invited anyone and everyone in Castle Rock to come into his families kitchen for dinner. The portions are sharable and so tasty. We tried the house salad, the penne with vodka sauce, lasagna with the bologonese sauce, fried ravioli, clams, and some warmed apple turnovers for dessert. Topped off with a coffee! Everything was so tasty! We will for sure be back!

We joined The Old North End for Valentines this year. Hands down one of the most fun nights out we’ve had in a while. The food is absolutely amazing, large portions, amazing drinks and probably the best pizza we’ve found in Colorado

I don’t really know what to say but, WOW! This restaurant is probably the best Italian food in town. We had the spicy gnocchi with sausage and it was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. We have always walked past this place but decided to go in tonight and I’m glad we did. If you have not been, please give this place some love as it’s incredible and very reasonably priced for what you get both in quality and portion size.

'Delicious Cuisine For The Whole Family' I absolutely could not recommend another restaurant to go to in Castle Rock than The Old North End. Their food is truly out of this world! The owner and staff are extremely friendly people and will do their absolute most to make sure you're coming in happy and leaving satisfied. I've had a number of their dishes, but my personal recommendation would be their chicken Parm sandwich! I would highly recommend this establishment to family and friends.
