Reviews
This was a wonderful restaurant. The space was modern sleek and had a large open kitchen. Seating was comfortable and you could choose indoor or outdoor seating. The wait staff was extremely attentive. My wife and I ordered calamari as an appetizer and it was one of the best I have had. The cannellini bean dip and the pizzaiola sauce were perfect. My wife had the gnudi which were perfect little dumplings in an excellent tomato sauce. I had the linguini vongoli. The linguini was perfectly cooked served with a dozen little neck clams perfectly cooked. Overall a great experience
An elegant, upscale restaurant offering cuisine that is well above average. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, complemented by pleasant background music at a comfortable volume that allows for easy conversation. The service is outstanding, and our server, Nick, was exceptionally attentive, professional, and friendly.
Delicious food and great atmosphere! We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share (meatballs, tartare, fried eggplant, lobster salad) and I also shared a lobster and scallop risotto with my sister. The dessert was great too. Loved the panna cotta. Would go back for another special occasion!
Had such an amazing experience at Celeste! From the moment we walked in, everything felt elegant, welcoming, and high quality. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was attentive, and the food honestly exceeded my expectations. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. Tbh, the prices are definitely on the higher side, but after trying the food, I can honestly say it’s worth it for the experience and quality you get. Sometimes you pay more for average food, but this place truly delivers. Everything we ordered was delicious and satisfying without feeling heavy. The presentation, the flavors, and the overall vibe made the whole dinner feel special. It’s one of those restaurants that leaves you already thinking about what you want to order next time before even leaving. Definitely coming back for more and can’t wait to try more dishes from the menu!
Once once you enter the restaurant you get greeted by the really sweetest host ever. The restaurant is really nicely done it's gorgeous and the stock is also super nice and very sweet. They always make sure that everything is OK. The food was really delicious. I had the cannelloni pasta while my aunt had the mushroom pasta. We also took appetizers like calamari and the raw tuna. The calamari is really good same as the raw tuna and I really love the touch of sweetness that was inside. I'm not really a fan of cake but as dessert I took the chocolate cake and it was the most delicious chocolate cake I have ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want a really nice time it's also kind of pricey, but the food makes up for it definitely will be coming back!
