It was our first time at Celeste and there are no words to describe how amazing it was! The food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I shared the food. We had the tuna carpaccio, insalata di Quercia Rossa, pappardelle funghi e tartufo, seppia alla griglia and for dessert we had Sicilian olive oil cake with bay leaf ice cream. Everything was delectable and so flavorful. The service was superb with our waiter Anthony. He gave wonderful suggestions and was very kind! We will definitely be coming back!

This was a super fun new discovery, following the recommendations of several local friends. The bar is a buzzy, high energy place with a mix of classic and innovative cocktails. Service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgable. The bar can get very busy early evenings so it is best to reserve a seat in advance. I will definitely return!

We were fortunate to have an upstairs table (sufficiently quiet) with an outstanding waiter who served delicious food. My mushroom pasta was filled with flavor, and the apple crumble dessert was terrific. My husband can highly recommend the fried calamari (better than most) and the ice cream. But we agree—the highlight was our waiter from Peru.
