Horrible experience. This used to be one of our favorite restaurants in Howell. Started off with drinks, salads and meatball appetizer- all good. After about 45min. To an hour no main entree. Asked our waitress if it was about ready she nebulously said “yes” but still no meal. When it came chicken lemon cello was burned and polenta looked like soup. The shrimp and scallop arribbiata had burned bread crumbs on top and was totally inedible. Sent back and 4 min. Later...read full review
We always enjoy the food and service but their hours are terrible. It would be nice if they could open early and possibly offer a lunch menu.

Cello Italian Restaurant is a charming and romantic spot, perfect for a date night. Although it can be quite loud at times, the restaurant offers an exceptional atmosphere, service, and food. Diners can expect attentive and friendly staff, including skilled bartenders and waiters. The menu is ala carte, featuring handmade pastas made daily, with dishes that are well worth trying. Guests have noted that the arugula salad is dressed perfectly and the creamy limoncello is a highlight, although the portion size is small due to its exceptional quality. Favorites among guests include the Limoncello martini, meatballs, wild mushroom gnocchi, gelato, and tiramisu. Plates are meant to be shared, allowing diners to experience multiple dishes. The restaurant offers a nice outdoor patio seating, where the ambiance is especially inviting. While some guests have noted issues with small gnats or incorrect orders, many praise the staff for their friendly and attentive service, with servers like Flynn and Courtney receiving high marks for their exceptional care. Overall, Cello Italian Restaurant is a great place to enjoy delicious food, a lovely atmosphere, and friendly service, making it a restaurant worth returning to.
