Love the Vongole. Owner Carmine is always present and engaging. David, our waiter, gave great suggestions! We’ll be back!

We were visiting NY just before the large January storm, staying in th upper west with our daughter. We chanced upon Celeste. Wonderful food! Homey, generous, and delicious. The tagliatelle bolognese was wonderful for a cold day. Loved the service, prompt and friendly.

Mussels and spaghetti with clams were delicious! Shoutout to David, he was fantastic with the recommendations and service.

Italian Classics, Done the Right Way
At Celeste, we focus on classic Italian cooking made with care. Our fried artichokes are served crackling hot and meant to be shared. The vermicelli alle vongole tastes like home, and our wood-fired, gluten-free, and regular pizzas come out with a perfect, leopard-spotted char. We make our pastas by hand, offer rotating specials, and have dishes that can accommodate any dietary restrictions, whether it be gluten-free, kosher, vegan, halal, etc...
