Cella embodies true hospitality. The atmosphere is very romantic with lovely pops of color. The scallops were by far the star of the show, in a wonderful cream sauce cooked to perfection. The steak was good. The service was wonderful. This will be a go-to place for special occasions from this point forward. Definitely on the pricier side but you get what you pay for, which is delicious food!
