" Fantastic meal at Celestino! The ravioli was delightful, and I loved every bite of it. Our server was also friendly and made excellent wine recommendations. The ambiance set the mood perfectly, creating a lovely dining experience. I will certainly recommend this restaurant to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time visiting Celestino, and I was really looking forward to it. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner, but unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow. We waited almost 45 minutes for our meals. When they finally arrived, the gnocchi was delicious, but the delay made the experience less enjoyable. I think I might return for the food but pray the service improves! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dining experience! The menu offers a wide variety of pasta dishes, and I decided to try the pappardelle with wild boar. It was exquisite! The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable. While my server appeared a bit distracted, I can't deny the food was simply incredible. Definitely worth a visit if you're a pasta lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Going to Celestino was a beautiful experience! I loved the intimate setting for dinner and the friendly service from the staff. The spaghetti carbonara was made to perfection, but I felt the portion was a tad small given the price. However, the overall joy of the place makes up for it! Definitely coming back for more taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a little disappointed with my visit to Celestino. Though the food was decent, it didn't quite live up to the hype I’d heard. My chicken cacciatore was a bit bland, and the service felt rushed, even on a quiet night. The atmosphere is nice, but I expected more from the cuisine. I hope my next visit will redeem the dish! " (*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*)
