" I can't say I enjoyed my meal at Celestino. The food was mediocre at best. I had the minestrone soup that lacked flavor and depth, and my entrée was rather boring compared to what I was expecting from an Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was fine, and the staff was friendly, but I wouldn't return for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Celestino is a hidden gem in Pasadena! The moment you walk in, you get a feeling of being transported to Italy. I can't recommend the lasagna enough—it was rich and comforting. The service was friendly but could have been faster, as we waited longer than expected for drink refills. Still, I'll be back for the delightful food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celestino was a delightful experience! The flavors remind me so much of home-cooked Italian meals. From the tomato basil soup right through to the light and delicious panna cotta, everything was delectable. The service was prompt and friendly, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint Italian restaurant with loads of charm! I really loved the variety in the menu. The meatballs were tender and flavorful. Although the service was a bit slow during peak hours, the tasty food compensated for it. I can't wait to return for another visit to try something new! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I found the food to be fine, I wasn’t blown away by my experience at Celestino. The pizza felt somewhat bland, and I was expecting more flavor from an Italian restaurant. The ambiance was nice, though, creating a warm environment. I just wish the food had matched the atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely spot for an authentic Italian meal! The staff greeted us with a smile, and we felt at home right from the start. The bruschetta was fresh and flavorful, while the osso buco was tender and perfectly cooked. My only complaint was that the desserts were a little lacking in creativity, but overall a wonderful dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a good experience at Celestino! The staff were attentive, and the food was enjoyable. The caesar salad was crisp and refreshing. While the lasagna was a bit average for my taste, the friendly environment made it a pleasant outing. I’d suggest giving it a try! " (*Curated Review*)
