OK so I really hate to write a bad review but this was our 2nd attempt. Literally everything we had was in-edible and we had a few bites of each item and then left the rest. The waiter was friendly enough but we took his recommendations and all will still horrible. Pasta is soggy and just drenched in way too much sauce. Osso Bucco was terrible, bruschetta and pork/maple crostini were drenched in way too much syrup and no one would eat them. We really tried to give this place a chance. We went the very first time for brunch and we enjoyed brunch so we decided to try 2 times for dinner and both times we were really disappointed. I actually wouldn't have tried dinner a 2nd time but my brother was visiting from the US and he really wanted italian and we couldn't get in to Uccelino or Cafe Amore and he was staying in a hotel in Sherwood Park so this was convenient. I could (and often do) literally go to Joey's or Earls and have much better pasta for a fraction of the cost. My gnocchi was just ok but you can tell they were packaged gnocchi and not home made and it was extremely salty. I just don't get how the reviews can be good other than to say that maybe they are from people who think Olive Garden is fantastic. Any true foodie will hate this place. The only plus was the 1/2 price bottles of wine. But we spent about $250 for 3 people and left hungry and without eating any of our food other than a bite or two of each item. Honestly the waiter should have picked up on this and inquired about our experience and offered compensation. It's shameful that we had to pay top dollar for such trash that we could't even eat. We didn't have the heart to be honest with him to his face.

$50 for a baked spaghetti carbonara. No meat just pieces of imitation bacon. Never again!!! I could go to Royal Pizza right beside cafe celeste and have a baked pasta with meatballs for less than 20 dollars. It's a hype. Don't go!

The food was delicious and large portions. Quite expensive and took a long time to get food so plan accordingly. Wheelchair friendly which is great.

Our family treated mom to a wonderful birthday supper at Cafe Celeste on Baseline Road last night. Wonderful service, the food was 100% amazing and the atmosphere was great. All of us enjoyed our food!

I can't believe we had never been here! Outstanding meal in great atmosphere. Live according music (Iralian, French, not oom pa pa!) We had the Calamari, the prawns in curry cream, the Linguini d Mare, and the Dijon lamb. Fritters for dessert. It was all just fantastic. Make a reso, so you don't show up and be disappointed.

Excellent food, very good service, very good price. Accommodates minor change due to diet restriction without any fuss or bother.
I just want to thank all of you again for a wonderful meal tonight. From the moment we walked in the wonderful smells had us so hungry! Great staff and so friendly!!

My wife loves the Dolce Pasta as she loves curry. I had a seafood cream pasta with salmon, kalamari and prawns. Pasta was great and the taste blend was excellent. I go here at least once every 2 weeks because it is great. I am not dining in yet but some were last night.

It was my wife’s birthday, we had a reservation and were immediately seated, all protocols for COVID were followed. Both the greeter and the server provided the service we like, attentive but not hovering, very friendly. The atmosphere was great, casual and pleasant with everybody having a pleasant evening. It is a nicely set up restaurant with a nice decor. You can dress up or go casual, we saw both. The food was just great, we each had a glass of wine, both were excellent and lasted for our meal. The osso buco was just excellent, presentation was done nicely, the sides were perfect and portions were very large. It met and exceeded our expectations and we will be returning frequently. We thought it was the nicest dining experience we have had in Sherwood Park. Highly recommended. We have already mentioned to friends that they should attend there. Prices were very good for what we received.
