Dinner at St. Cecilia was an adequate experience. Cocktails were very good, but the wine selection was forgettable. The arancini were the apex of the meal. Of our four pastas/entrées, only the cacio e pepe was a treat. Overall, the lovely surroundings and good service belie a kitchen that is struggling to deliver standout plates.

Nobody was at the entrance when we arrived. The restaurant was fairly empty. Waitress nice. Temperature was like in a fridge and after complaining they did not put up the temperature. Food was ok but nothing special.

This was such an awesome experience. The food was so incredible. Our waitress, Christine explained the menu and made some recommendations that we tried. She was also awesome and attentive. We can't wait to go back.

Wow. This wasn't just dinner, it was a dining experience. Our server, Virginia, was so knowledgeable about the menu, the wine list...we enjoyed all of her suggestions. The food, wine and her service were all exceptional! Will definitely be back the next time we are in Atlanta!

My absolute favorite restaurant! The food is always incredibly delicious. The bread service is amazing! I always get a fish dish with pistachio pesto...so good!! Restaurant is very pretty light and airy atmosphere. Service is kind and welcoming. Highly recommend!

I hosted an event at this beautiful restaurant! The event manager, Amanda, was incredibly professional, kind and thoughtful! They were able to accommodate our guests dietary restrictions with ease! The food was delightful as were the drinks! The staff was accommodating and guests had a wonderful time! Thank you to the whole team! I cannot wait to host another event here!!

This restaurant was formerly a Buckhead staple. The ambiance, views of the passing cars, and high ceilings were a staple for a good night out. Unfortunately, this restaurant has gone down hill and it should be avoided unless simple drinks at the bar (still wouldn’t recommend). We chose this restaurant for a birthday dinner based off of previous experiences. The staff was rude, the manager is not helpful, and the food was absolutely terrible. We ended up getting Wendy’s on the way home since it was after 10PM. Nothing like a $350 birthday dinner that spoiled our celebration.

Try the scallops!A friend in Fairhope, Alabama recommended St.Cecilia, in Buckhead.
My wife and I absolutely cannot get enough! Everything on the menu is outstanding!! The arancini is one of the most amazing things I've put into my mouth.I have never had a server who was not excited to guide our food and beverage experience, but last night, Natalie absolutely made our visit. Her vibes and memu recommendations were A++. She was not just knowledgeable about current items on the menu, but was even able to suggest things based on food that hasn't been on the menu in over a year!!St. C is a must visit for everyone!

I've been to St. Cecilia many times and always get pasta but this time decided to try other things! We got the crudo which was amazing, as were the arancini and octopus. The drinks are also never a disappointment! Our waitress recommended the pear pudding dessert which I actually did not find appetizing at all (mushy dessert with no variety in texture). Otherwise everything else was great.
As Houstonians who frequent Ford Fry's State of Grace, LaLucha and Superica, we sought out St. Cecilia while stopping in Atlanta for a quick trip. We emphatically can share that St.Cecilia did not disappoint! Our flight landed later than expected but the hostess kindly worked to accommodate our delayed arrival. We had a great dining experience with Hannah who guided us through the menu and made some stellar recommendations. The evening was enhanced by frequent table-side visits from Sean, the General Manager. We look forward to our next trip to Atlanta which will undoubtedly include dining at St. Cecilia.

Great ambiance, great service, but food is way too salty. Just returned from the Amalfi coast in Italy where the food was amazing. The dishes at St. Ceclia were inspired by Italy but missed the mark...primarily because of the salt overload.
