★★★★★ 5.0 Hong Joo Ahn · Jan 2026

I have been a regular here for more than 14 years, and it is truly an amazing place! The food is consistently tasty, and the wine list is very reasonably priced. We always order the vongole; in our opinion, no other restaurant can top theirs

★★★★★ 5.0 George Rosa · Nov 2025

It was a Saturday afternoon perfect day for lunch with my family. The vibe was relaxing and the food was astounding. We started with the house salad, simple and perfect. Next was the fried calamari and shrimp. It was lightning floured and seasoned then perfectly fried. So crispy. So much to choose from on the menu. Our entre selections were lasagna, spaghetti and clams, ravioli and gnocchi. Finished with chocolate cake, vanilla Gelato with espresso. I'm so glad we decided to visit. Staff was attentive and friendly. Bring cash!

Amazing neighborhood spot with old school Italian food. David took care of us. We had the lasagna, clams linguine and an amazing pizza. The tiramisu was amazing!! Highly recommend if you can get a reservation!

We had the best experience at Celeste. The food was delicious - especially the homemade Pasta! Service was also amazing. Shoutout to our great server David. We‘ll definitely be back.

Cozy, old, warm, and classic atmosphere. They only take cash so come prepared! The fried calamari were perfect texture, and the calamari and endive salad with warm cherry tomatoes and capers is exactly as fresh and flavorful as they sound. The calamari in the salad was a completely different texture as the fried, and both were wonderful. We also had house-made gnocchi with marinara, which were the perfect texture and warmth, and the fresh basil on top added an easy, calm finish.
