About
Connor’s Visit (July 2025): “Housed in Castle Rock’s first church, built in 1888, Scileppi’s blends reverence with red sauce in the best possible way.” He called out the house-made pastas, the East Coast-style pizza and “gluten-free options that don’t feel like an afterthought,” then dessert: “don’t sleep on the PB Cup Reese Pie (yes, it’s gluten-free) or the Colossal Cheesecake (yes, I had both). There’s even one confessional-style booth where two can eat — perfect for date night if you’re lucky enough to snag it.” (DougCo Drop, July 16, 2025)
