Celeste is one of my favorite places in my new neighborhood (the UWS). It's located at 502 Amsterdam Ave, or 84th and Amsterdam, so if you're in the area, definitely, definitely check this place out.
What you need to know before you go:
Celeste is only open for dinner and Sunday Brunch. HAVE CASH. This place is cash only, so be sure to drop by an ATM before sitting down. Also, because it is so awesome, it is almost always packed, especially for dinner. Be prepared to wait a few minutes for a table. You will probably have to wait outside because this place is um really cozy (it's small as hell to put it bluntly). Don't worry about getting dressed up, this is a casual spot.
When you're there:
Even though this restaurant is very small, the noise level is not as bad as you would expect. The interior is nothing really special although the exposed brick and kitchen have some charm.
I find the food here to be absolutely de-lish. The pastas and the brick oven pizzas are fantastic and I heard the seafood is good as well. The prices here are also very reasonable with most items falling under $20, towards the $10-$15 range. There are also plenty of vegetarian options on the menu.
The service is a little slow due to the fact that there is usually only one or two waiters for the entire place. But, have some patience and it will pay off!
