    Such a busy restaurant with so fantastic foods. I observed that tables are too close and waiters are so busy as well. Food price is definitely amazing and worthy. Nice place to go with friends and family. I'm just so impressed with the foods.

    Went to Celeste for the first time tonight. To start off, the place was jam packed. It's pretty hard to find, the sign is miniscule. The owner/manager/captain? is on it. The tables turn quickly, he makes sure his people are working and comes by to make sure you are satisfied with your meal. Not 100% on how I feel about this. Sure it's efficient, but I never want to notice the workings behind the house. That being said, the place ran like a tight ship. Now...the food. It was delicious. While it may not be the best Italian food I have ever had it was really really delicious. We got the 4 seasons pizza. The mushroom was the most delicious slice. Thin crust, flavorful cheeses and the mushrooms were cooked to perfection. The nightly special was homemade pasta with broccoli rappe and sausage. Clean, flavorful and well done. I'm very much looking forward to the next visit. Best of all, the meal was only $49 and we had 2 glasses of wine and a beer. I'd consider this a "cheap eats" since the quality of food was so good.

    I Ate:

    • Quattro Staggione: delicious ($10)
    • pasta special: delicious ($12)

    Where to begin? Recently, on a business trip I ate at Celeste in New York. Good job on a pleasant and joyful dinnerWait staff at the restaurant surprisingly pleasant! The service was excellent. Now the superior quality together with quantity of food seemed to be to fine. Even though no serious issues. Excellent food! My friends and I had a wonderful night! So refreshing with there being a great number of N.Y. dining establishments that are bad. I'm a enormous lover of the place. Visit right now prior to when the buzz gets ridiculous.
