Wow! René is super attentive and friendly. The bartender was also very attentive and really knows his cocktails. The drinks were amazing, and the pizza was perfectly cooked. The service was more than excellent. Thank you so much! Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back soon!

I have been coming here for several years and the staff have always been warm and friendly. The food is great and my fiancé is a big fan of the lasagna.

We had dinner at Sociale Celler and really enjoyed the experience. The basement private room is small but very cozy, comfortably fitting around 20–30 people, and being next to the wine cellar creates a warm, intimate atmosphere that works well for a group dinner.
Starters were served family-style. The Napoli-style Pizza Fritta was a highlight—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—and the meatballs were flavorful and well balanced.
For the pasta course, I chose the Carbonara, which was rich, well executed, and made with very fresh ingredients. The Branzino was extremely fresh and simply prepared, allowing the quality of the fish to shine.
Desserts were shared and included the Tortino al Cioccolato, a classic Tiramisu, and the Meyer Lemon Catalana, which was bright and refreshing. The family-style setup for the desserts worked well overall; however, slightly larger portions or individual servings could make it even better, given the no double dipping rule.
Overall, Sociale Celler offers a cozy setting with thoughtfully prepared food and a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience, especially well suited for group dinners and private events.

Are you kidding me? I mean the food is delicious but I just paid $22 for a half and half soup! Except these are more 1/4 size! This soup will be 3 spoonfuls and done! Outrageous

Chef's kisses for this beautiful restaurant! From the moment that we walked in we felt like family. This is what quality food is about. The smells, the sounds and the atmosphere is so beautiful. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed. These meals are prepared with the utmost care. The lamb was out of this world. They do offer gluten free options. Make sure that you ask the waiter. My favorite dessert is the lemon one. I get it every time we go. They can make this gluten free as well. The prices are great for the quality and amount of food that you get. They spare no expense with making sure that you are fed well. The wine pairings are perfect! and the cocktails are great as well. Sociale also offers a private dining space if you want to host a private party.

I usually don’t like to give bad ratings. I could be in a mood, the chef could be having a bad day, maybe I ordered the wrong dish, or it’s the end of the day; you know could be many reasons. But I’m going to start giving more ratings, sorry it starts with y’all. Bland, overcooked seafood farfalle. Complimentary bread was horrible, probably had to pay extra for the good bread. Got the mozzarella sticks for appetizer (and yes I mean the fried burrata), it was ok. Chicken dish was good though!
Beautiful restaurant but it’s really too bad when you let your servers make decisions when to close. We had a dinner with 5 people, spend about $650 and we were being rushed out to close out at 11 pm.. and it was Saturday night!! They just wanted to go home. Seems that the owners are not around to see what’s happening to their restaurant. I work in the industry and it’s really sad to see.

Been here a few times since it opened. Atmosphere has always been nice, but the food quality wile very good at the beginning has declined significantly. Just went there this past weekend and my biggest issue was the service. Even if we were ordering plenty of food and quite a few bottles of wine, we felt like we were rushed and not welcomed. The staff wanted to go home and close, even if this was Saturday night at 10.30/11pm when we got the check. This is not cool. Will never bring my business here again.

Calamari was delicious and not too fried, the Eggplant was a small portion but good. Branzino was delectable. I want to go get another bite. The two cocktails were delicious. My Piccante Margarita was perfectly spicy. The Sato Project was fresh and the right amount of sweet.
