Cellini Italian Restaurant and Bar in Midtown Manhattan

Overcrowded. Hardly space to walk. Menu difficult to understand and the persons serving the food tend to speak to fast so difficult to decipher.
Food taste was bland unlike Italian food . Its a NO GO for vegeterians as they do not have vegeterian options except for 1-2 other than just salads.
Location is good and easily reachable and well placed next to many investmwnt firms so filled with corporates mostly.
If ypu are going with a big gang, I would not recommend

Cellini is my go to favorite place in mid town. You can have a delicious meal with incredibly efficient service and be in and out ready for a tight meeting schedule or hang out and linger in a lovely atmosphere if you prefer and have time.

Excellent Italian food in a great Midtown location. Owner Dino Arpaia is a chef who keeps the quality high. We like the small rooms you also can get for a more intimate dining experience, as well.

We had an excellent dinner at Cellini while visiting NYC. Our Mixed Green Salad was nice and fresh. The Shrimp al Limone and Lobster Ravioli were delicious. And we enjoyed the Ricotta Cheesecake for dessert. The service was very good. The restaurant was a little bit loud but it quieted down as people left. We really enjoyed our dinner. Thank you!

Top rate service. Always there to help and willing to make the meal right. Excellent food, portions good. A very active restaurant and during busy times will be packed. Worth a visit.

You won't find innovative italian food here. Just overall classic dishes cooked to perfection. Incredible ingrediets treated with respect and artisan hands. Tried the bolognese, the frutti de mare risotto, the filet mignon with madeira sauce as well as the chocolate mousse and the ricotta cheesecake. To top it off, the set of ecuadorians waiters are wuick on their feet and ready to make you feel at home. Will return soon.

The food was cooked perfectly and the service was excellent. The lobster ravioli is worth a trip to this restaurant, and the dipping oil for the bread is the best I've had in a restaurant.

One of the best if nit the best Italian restaurants in the city. Great food and service. Dino the owner is a great entrepreneur. Have been going here for over 20 years. Regards, Bob Roma

We had very good service. Staff very nice. Quiet ambiance. Food not great. Risotto Pescatore listed as having lobster but there was NONE and 3 of us had it. None in any

Good high end Italian food.

Food was amazing. No need to go to Little Italy. (I also thought this restaurant was better than many of the restaurants I've been to in North Beach (SF)). Highly recommend!!

This place was highly recommended to me by my clients and it delivered. I was on my own and had a delicious dinner consisting of: Bourbon Old Fashion to start. Then a Caesar salad where each whole leaf was dressed individually with house made Caesar dressing- lightly garlicky with a hint of anchovy along with Parmesan shavings and light croutons- loved it! Main course was chicken Parmesan. The chicken cutlets were pounded thin and lightly breaded. The tomato sauce was made from fresh pomodoro tomatoes that I believe were grated and lightly sautéed with garlic and olive oil and covered with mozzarella cheese all on top of the cutlets. It was the best chicken Parmesan I ever had! The balance of flavors was perfect. It was Italian comfort food at its best. The rest of the menu looked great and I will definitely be back to explore it the next time I’m in town.

Perfect pre-theater dinner. Great selection of affordable wines. Accommodating chef. Delicious food. Professional service.

It was an average dining experience. While the servers were attentive, the food and ambience were just average.

Great service and food.
