We sat outside on the patio by the entrance. Our waiter was very helpful and attentive. He helped make our meal great by helping us with the menu and selecting the right wine . An excellent experience.
The showstopper secret menu item - spaghetti alla bottarga - a simple pasta dish enlivened by shaved, dried fish roe .
had a great experience at Celestino! my swordfish was fantastic, and the arugula and grilled artichoke salad was outstanding. the service was top notch. excellent bar service too!
OMG...this is the best place EVER!!!!! Food is the best - try the specials. Everyone there is great, especially the manager!
Fresh bread , fresh salad , reasonable prices, nice venue.
The pasta was wonderful full of flavor you can tell it was fresh. Bartender is amazing
I ordered tomato soup and filet mignon ravioli . Both were great. Bad service though. Our waiter was hard to get a hold of and kept disappearing.
I love the risotto with balsamic vinegar and rosemary .
Wait staff most helpful and responsive. This is my second visit and the food is devine.
If you are low-key and dressed average you get bottom of the barrel service. Make sure you dress to impress the snobbiest of snobs to sit in the window and receive decent service. Will never return
Can't beat the sea bass .
Pumpkin tortelini is amazing! Love this place.
Food is nothing to brag about either. There are plenty of other delicious Italian restaurants in town
Fish dishes !
It was alright, the atmosphere was great, but food could use some work.
The pumpkin tortellini tastes like Christmas .
It was alright... But I probably won't eat there again. The waiter brought out our entrees while we were in the middle of our appetizer , the portions of our meal were very small &had way too much salt
Sucks donkeys
Very salty. Rude staff . Poor manager. Sad place
Try the peanut butter brownie cup. Plenty to share or just indulge. You'll want one each visit after! - Nicole Myerscough

I have been here several times it is always fabulous. The food is delish and the service is terrific. You can't go wrong with Il Fornaio. - Stacey Holderbach
