What Francis Ricci doesn't like about Celeste:
We waited over an hour for our food to come out they had 1 server for 28 tables. They brought out some bread after we had been waiting about an hour the bread was cold and soggy. The white anchovy appetizer was good, and the house made fresh pasta wasas well. The shrimp pasta sauce had a nice flavor, nothing exceptional and a bit oily. The bolognese tasted more like a plainmeat sauce no richness to the flavor at all.... View all feedback. What Duy Nguyen likes about Celeste:
All the dishes were well-balanced and complemented each other beautifully. We enjoyed everything we ordered from this wonderful team. Highlights included the scallops, clam pasta, lamb, and mandarin sorbet – all tasted incredibly fresh! One item not pictured is the affogato; we wish it had a little less coffee or a bit more ice cream. View all feedback.
