Edit: okay we came back for the evening to give it a second chance and service was so much better! Attentive, polite, and friendly! Overall the food and venue were great and prices were very reasonable, but the service was terrible. It was only our table of 6 and one table of 4 (we were in for brunch) and we could not even find our server to try to top up coffees or get our bill. The food came out pretty quickly once we ordered but we had to wait ~25-30 minutes to order food and another 20 minutes at the end to get our bills. We actually got up and walked to the back to ask someone for our bills.
Went to cafe Celeste for our anniversary tonight, our first visit. Surprised it was so dead but it was a Monday evening. Great service and food! We had the maple sausage crostini appetizer (super yummy sweet and spicy) followed by Linguine D‘mare for me and chicken florentine for my husband. Huge portions, very fresh, flavourful and hot dishes. Took home over half of our entrees! Tiramisu for dessert that tasted home made. A bit pricier for Italian but I think it’s worth the value for taste and portion size. Highly recommend trying this place if you haven’t yet.
We stopped in for dinner with friends. Food was amazing! Staff/service was friendly and awesome! Definitely coming back!
M husband and I visited for the first time last night to celebrate my birthday. He picked Celeste not only because I love Italian food but also because of the reviews he read and it did NOT disappointed! The food was absolutely delicious! He ordered a Chipotle pasta and I got the marsala pasta. It was nice and saucy (a nice touch cause who likes dry pasta!?) and the flavors we on point. As if the good food wasn't enough but the server (Lyndsay ) was incredible. Attentive, friendly and funny. She had such a great personality. It definitely makes a difference when you have a great server. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience!
My sister and I dined here and it was absolutely wonderful! Our waitress was so caring and the food was too delicious:)
Wow this place was amazing. I ordered the shrimp to start then the linguine carbonara. ( baked) Crème brûlée for my dessert. Had a lil oil after I was done the pasta but other than that it was fantastic. Great place to take a girl for a nice date
Popped in Friday afternoon for a late lunch. Nice atmosphere and ambiance. Awesome choice for a date night. Food was excellent and flavourful. I had the marsala chicken fettuccine - delicious, my friend had the creamy syrah fettuccine - both were immersed in deep notes of flavours and textures! Absolutely delicious!! I also had the Italian peach iced tea - it was not overly sweet, just the way I like it. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Want a nice night out? Give Cafe Celeste a try!!
Wonderful, authentic Italian restaurant with fantastic service! We went for an early dinner and it was really great. I had Linguini and clams, and my dining partners had the meat cannelloni, and a Caesar salad. Everyone’s food was great - and while I wasn’t expecting it to, the meat cannelloni definitely stole the show! We had desert (brownie) which was also quite good. All in all, it gets a “must return” so that we can try more off their extensive menu.
Café Celeste is our go to for Italian in Sherwood Park. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Food portions are very generous and we bring our own take Away containers for leftovers. Lots of parking in front or on the east side. Food
Cafe Celeste is a wonderful restaurant with top quality food, and service. Tara is by far my fiancée and Is favorite server there, she always goes above and beyond for us and always makes us laugh and have a good time! Shirley temples? Amazing. Salmon risotto? Devine. Carbonara? Get me another! I love Cafe Celeste and will always be sure to come back again and again. Thank you
Everything was great
Ordered the Linguine Ala Vongole last evening,from placing the order to it brought to the table was under fifteen minutes. It had a fish smell and visually looked like a mushy bowl of noodles . Upon tasting clearly the noodles were not fresh and were served with canned clams in the juice. Never seen this presentation before disgusting! My partner had the fried calamari which was tiny portion for the price. Overall terrible poor value will not return.
I highly reccomend coming here! The atmosphere is cozy and the food is amazing! Our table ordered the bruschetta and I am not a fan of onions or tomatoes, but it was absolutley amazing! The pasta is cooked perfectly and the sauces are fregrant with amazing flavor.
Our first time to try it for lunch. Everything was fantastic.
Husband and I popped in for dinner at the Sherwood Park location. Tara was our server and greeted us in a friendly and professional manner. Her service was spot on and our food was fresh hot and delicious. We had the fried calamari to start, then the salmon and shrimp fettuccini (very garlicky but delicious), and the pork limone for mains. The atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend!
I recently had the pleasure of trying the take-out pasta from Cafe Celeste, and I can t recommend it enough! From the moment I opened the container, the delightful aroma wafted through my kitchen, instantly making my mouth water. The pasta was cooked to perfection al dente with a satisfying texture. I opted for their signature dish, and it did not disappoint. The rich, flavorful sauce was perfectly balanced, elevating the dish to new heights. Each bite was a delightful dance of flavors, and you could tell that fresh ingredients were used. What truly stood out was the attention to detail. The portion size was generous, ensuring I had enough for a satisfying meal. Plus, the packaging was both eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing a small touch that made the experience even better. The staff at Cafe Celeste were friendly and efficient, making the ordering process a breeze. They truly care about their customers, and it shows in the quality of their food. If you re looking for delicious pasta that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home, look no further than Cafe Celeste in Sherwood park. I ll certainly be returning for more!
We have only had delivery from Cafe Celeste but it is their lasagna and Caesar salad that is a super star* hit for our household. On our last dinner order, the dressing was missed and after we called, the owner himself drove over with not only the dressing but a dessert! He was at our door in 6 minutes and felt badly because he had personally missed this when he packed the order. I have always learned more about a business by how they act when there is a problem. Incredible food with great service, that s a win!
Great ambience, service was attentive and food came out fast. I had the Fettuccini Con Salmon which was tasty enough but was swimming in so much sauce it looked more like a soup. While the description said baby shrimp they were so tiny and virtually non existent Also I was so looking forward to the smoked salmon but there maybe about five flakes of salmon. Somewhat disappointed .
I love their chicken pesto pasta everytime i go there to eat their delicious pasta and their customer service is amazing
Great new restaurant. Natalia has always been a kind breath of fresh air for years.
Im a pasta lover and couldn t find the right place that satisfy my taste buds, and when I came to Edmonton, one of the things I looked for is pasta, so I tried it from this restaurant, and I m glad I finally found the best pasta place. Their pasta is so delicious and very taste. The best pasta I ever tried in my whole life. I ve been ordering from them every other day coz I am only staying here for 2weeks. I will probably visit this place again. Very satisfied customer (Second time visiting Edmonton) This restaurant never disappoints me! This long weekend I drove 3hrs with my friend just to introduce her the best Italian restaurant I ever been. And I m glad my friend loved their amazing special pasta. I got the Picante Marsala, they have a big serving so I take home the rest, and unbelievably the pasta still tasted good even couple days after. I can t wait to go back there again. I dont mind driving 3hrs just to visit Cafe Celeste again! If you re looking for a good ambiance, delicious dishes, and friendly customer service, this place is highly recommended!
We went to Cafe Celeste to celebrate a win. We enjoyed the yummy Sambuca cream shrimp for an appetizer. I had the Pollo Lemone with spicy penne and my husband enjoyed his Linguini D-Mare (seafood), but with penne instead. They were so DELICIOUS!!! Brett and his staff do a wonderful job of making you feel welcome and they provide excellent service.
Although my lobster pasta was a bit salty, everybody elses meals were excellent. A tad pricy tho!
Last night was my birthday so me and my family stopped by for a bite and had some wonderful food but our server Lindsay was the highlight of our night! She was very friendly and welcoming and had us laughing the whole time! Definitely recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back.
We really like the food. Our server, Nataliia, is the best. She took care of us in the best way possible and is such a wonderful person!
It was amazing experience, service excellent our server Natalia was the best aver. We will be back.
Great atmosphere and absent service. Over cooked and mushy pasta. Disappointing after reading the reviews
Everyone loved it except me. I had the rack of lamb, well hardly. I know times are tough and costs have gone up all over but for $48 I shouldnt be going home hungry, they were the thinnest pieces of rack of lamb that I have ever had and even though cooked to medium inside they were almost burnt to a crisp on the outside. Service was exceptional.
What a lovely place! Best bruschetta of my life. Large portion sizes!
Strike 2 A few weeks ago was going to order on skip but know that costs the business So called it in for pick up There was a free salad if you ordered on skip but we were told we would get the same if we picked up When we picked up we were told there was no salad since we didn t do skip?! After a discussion we finally got the salad Ordered again the other day and the $18 bruschetta now comes with 5 tiny pieces of toast?! So we had to make our own at home Called in about that and we were told we d get a call back we didn t Used to be quite good but not so much lately
Shared the prosciutto crostini and they are outstanding! I had the pollo ala Milanese and also delicious. My brother loved his rose pasta with sausage.
We stopped in for our anniversary. Service was great and everything came out in suprisingly good time it was a great experience and we will return Recommended dishes
Very good pasta, but at $40.00 a plate, it should be fantastic. Credit card machine tips offer 18% , 20% or 25%. There should be no need for tips based on menu prices.
Food was delicious, service superb, atmosphere delightful!
This was our second time here for brunch. Very expensive for so-so food. I would expect a bigger wow factor at this place. Fruit salad consisted of sliced apples and oranges... very underwhelmed. We may give this place one more chance and try the dinner menu.
Really good brunch. Above average potato wedges!
AMAZING EVERYTIME
Just went for dinner for the first time. We were a pretty big group and it was amazing. Food and staff were great
We had the truffle cream pasta baked with chicken. The food was bursting with flavour and the serving was fair! The restaurant had a very unique aesthetic that set the mood for an enjoyable dining experience. Food
Very nice Italian restaurant. Very friendly, helpful service. Good location, smaller, intimate setting. They offer gluten free pasta for dishes. Unfortunately they dont have gluten free bread. It would be great if they did! Other than that, it was a fantastic place - the hamburger soup and salad were fantastic! The restaurant has been added to our go back list for sure! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta available, Unfortunately no other gluten free items are. Parking: Located in a strip mall, lots of free parking.
Had the occo buco eggs Benny. Amazing. The frittata not a fav as the cheese was really salty. Great portion sizes. Our server was great. Food
Wonderful food and warm staff. Love every visit. Thank you!
We love that we can walk over to Cafe Celeste! Makes it so much easier to over indulge in the giant portions Our food came out so hot that I burned my mouth! My fault I could not wait. Absolutely delicious Food
The food was okay but not worth the price. My partners lasagne was cold in the middle. They also had a sticker on the menu increasing the bruschetta price from $14 to $16 and online the price is $13. Wouldn t go back.
Group of 9. Service was great. Food was delicious. Would recommend and will return.
Excellent food!!! Lindsay provided wonderful service. The portions are quite large. Food
The Penne Pesto pasta was absolutely amazing. Word of caution, the pasta portions are quite large and you will probably have left overs.
We went to Cafe Celeste for my sisters birthday tonight and everything was top notch. I want to give a shout out of our server but I cant recall her name. She was a pretty young woman with blonde hair in a bun. She was an excellent server and made my husband and two girls evening fantastic. Ours was a table of ten and she handled it with ease. Water was always refilled and she checked back often. The food is rich and delicious but Id have to say it was her excellent service that made our night enjoyable. My husband and I have always dined out fairly often but lately have preferred to stay home because the service everywhere is so terrible but not here. The owners have a hidden gem in this young woman and I hope the treat her accordingly. We would gladly recommend this restaurant in the future. And, I truly hope this message reaches our server. Kid-friendliness: The kids potions are large and my daughter enjoyed the penne with sauce very much
Terrific Italian restaurant with great atmosphere and service. Large portions and large menu. Prices are on the higher side but significantly larger portions than other Italian restaurants Ive been to.
This is an amazing restaurant and we had a perfect evening! The service was top notch, food was delicious and pricing was extremely reasonable. Clean, friendly, quiet and cozy... definitely put Cafe Celeste on your list of places to go in Sherwood Park.
Parking: Large lot. Handicap parking limited. Easy access. Recommended dishes
Had a great supper with family. First time there. Everything was delicious
We decided to give this place a second opportunity after a poor experience with breakfast (greasy food). Sadly, it was our anniversary, and we encountered extremely poor service along with the grossest pizza ever. It was so greasy that I couldn t even hold a piece with my hands; the only way to eat it was with a fork, considering the amount of oil they added with the caramelized onions. It was inedible, and despite their apology, we had to send it back. My partner managed to finish his lasagna, but we ended up going to the pizza place next door to get a pizza.
Very nice restaurant. Quality food. Delicious and large portions. The warm chocolate brownie dessert is great
Ordered lasagna and chicken Marsala fettuccine. Lasagna was very regular. Chicken Marsala was sweet and spicy, first time ever I had a sweet pasta. Do not order. Bread was very low quality. Service was ok. Ambiance is good. Price to quality ratio is very poor.
Wow, the food is delicious with so much flavor & and to top it all off the service is incredible.This is an amazing place. Thank you to all the wonderful staff
I found the plates to be quite boring. What we ordered, but not a thing more. Too much of one thing.
An absolutely cozy and calm atmosphere. Loved the service and how extraordinary personalities that work here. The food is very delicious and drinks were well made. The salmon benny and truffle pasta were beyond superb. Portions were excellent. We are definitely going to become regulars here.
Nice quiet atmosphere. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Food : 5/5 |
Piccante Marsala was fantastic
Extremely mediocre food and service.
I have given this place a 5 start review as the service was outstanding. We ordered our food, were served, and paid on the way out the door in 40 minutes. I have never had a dine in meal that was that fast. We ate an early dinner so rush times may differ from that. The portion size to price point is spot on, These plates are big, or at least ours were. Started with the Maple Sausage Crostini which I enjoyed, Misses said it has too much kick. She ordered the Linguini Carbonara and I had the Chipotle Rose with Penne. Both pasta dishes were okay, although we both felt that we could make the same meal at home. I enjoyed the Rum Punch drink, it was very nice on a hot day. As for the atmosphere there is not much of a private setting, you can hear everyone elses conversations. All in all we would eat here again for lunch to try something else on the menu.
The food here was really good but honestly it s not worth the price, don t get me wrong it tasted great but for 60$ each? No thanks.
Our waitress was awesome. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was very classy. Quite pricey and worth it for a once in a while get together.
We love our breakfast! Really nice atmosphere, nice soft music, big portions and fairly priced.
My wife and I have eaten here several times and have always had excellent food and service. Hands down the best Italian restaurant in Sherwood Park!
My husband and I come here often. Food is fresh and delicious, service is great
Went there with my girlfriend tonight. The only thing better than the service was the food the Celeste pizza is amazing. Csrbinara very good and my girlfriends pesto gnocchi was out of this world. Rose mussels also amazing
We had amazing experience! The food was fantastic, ambience was beautiful and our server Natalia were outstanding! Our new favorite place, would definitely recommend.
Great service !!! Food was awesome
This was our 1st visit to this restaurant we were looking for something different. If you want a romantic Italian meal, then this is the place. The atmosphere was cozy, and our sever was excellent. The food was excellent. I had the Doce curry chicken linguine. I was never a real fan of curry, but the mixture with a touch of honey added a sweet vibe to the curry spice. My wife had the Fettuccine Con Solmone and loved every bite.
We had a great dinner at Cafe Celeste! It was quiet, comfortable, and delicious!
Made an online reservation well in advance for a date night. When we arrived, we were told that the restaurant was overbooked and we were asked to sit at the bar until a table frees up. Entering the restaurant, over half of the tables were empty and remained empty for the next 30 minutes. About 5 minutes after our food arrived and we began to eat, a waitress asked if we wanted to sit at one of the free tables. No effort or recognition from any of the wait staff regarding this situation. My partners food was excellent, mine was average. Unfortunately, a disappointing start to our evening.
Incredibly loud! Tables are too close together! I wont be coming back!
Wonderful place for a special night out.
Food was really good. Service staff were incredible.
Second time here. This time was brunch. It was seriously the best breakfast of my entire life! Soooo good!
This place is hidden gem! Food was 10 stars! And service was even better! I will be back again, with friends next time!
Overall this a good place. There are better Italian places but this serves the purpose if you want italian food. I had a gocchi with pomodoro sauce however, I did not like it. It was way to over powering in terms of flavour. I did not finish it. My husband had a vegetarian pasta with truffle oil and cream sauce which was very good! The service was great and the ambience is really nice as well. I would really give it a 3.5/5 to be exact.
Fantastic food, so tasty. Excellent atmosphere, great service. Two things would take this amazing restaurant to the next level: 1) New cutlery. The food is phenomenal, but the cutlery is dollar store cheap. 2) The bread that is served doesn t seem fresh and the olive oil used for dipping does not taste good. Need to use better olive oil. Regardless of these 2 minor things we will be back!
Absolutely amazing service. Food was great. Great ambience. Will definitely return.
Our favorite pasta restaurant! The penne pesto cream is so delicious!
What a fantastic little restaurant. Will definitely go back.
Went for lunch. Superb service by a young Ukranian woman. Had chicken margarita pizza with Celeste salad. Pizza was okay. Not what I expected from an Italian restaurant. Flavor was good. Salad was good. Packed with spinach and other goodies. Nice ambiance.
The best Italian restaurant in Edmonton.
Danganronpa
Went in for the first time with my 2 girlfriends tonight. We had Josh as our server and he was a gem! Very informative and took great care of us. He was easy to be personable with! Highly recommend, the food was amazing as well. Will totally be back!
Clearly stated food allergies were ignored, and was told to just not eat that part when I brought it up. Food otherwise was mediocre and overpriced. Dietary restrictions: Restaurant ignored food allergies.
The food is highly overpriced and of poor quality, as in barely on the edible spectrum. Menu prices online have not been updated and are higher than advertised. One of our group informed the server of a food allergy, and the item was brought with the allergen spread on top. When this was pointed out, the server said its just around the edges and showed zero concern. If zero stars was a rating, thats what I would give. Definitely will not go back.
Date night here, the food was really good and the atmosphere was nice. Very cute setup and live accordion player. Reason for 4 star, my ice tea was watered down (twice) I informed the server and decided to stick to water. I was still charged for it. Food
Unreal sauces on chicken and pasta. Maybe the best I ve ever had.
For the price I found the dishes very underwhelming. The food was quite bland. We were really looking forward to this evening after enjoying this restaurant at their previous location.
I have been to this restaurant many times and never ever had anything but the best meal. In my humble opinion this is the best restaurant in Edmonton. The owner and staff are terrific, great service and you can tell everyone that works here holds customer service as a top priority. Absolutely love this restaurant
What an opulent place for dine in. we really enjoyed our time there !!! Friendly and class guest service, tasty food with wide variety of pasta and a good selection of quality wine. Highly recommend patronizing this place if you are looking for quality dining experience in Sherwood park.
Wide variety of great food, amazing service and delivered on time. they have a good collection of wines that are fairly priced, and overall their service and food is a 5 star.
Delicious, unique dishes. Good portions
The staff (Josh and Lindsay) were incredibly friendly and Knowledgeable. Very personable service, with all the fantastic food. A must try.
Very elegant Italian Restaurant. Good food, good Ukrainian server, but a bit expensive. Food
Josh is absolutely wonderful! The docle curry has to be my top favorite item on the menu! Ive been here many times and have never been disappointed!
Went out for dinner Sunday night with my family. The service was amazing and the food was cooked very well. The problem with our food was, we ordered linguine dmare. We were promised snow crab and I knew we wouldnt get a quarter pound, but thought we would get a fair claw size. However the crab claw was tiny, like the smallest possible claw they could find and it was the same for both of our meals. The claw was so small, it had only 2 pieces of meat that were smaller than my pinky nail. For $35 I would expect at least a piece of crab that we could taste. We would have brought it up, but we both only got one very tiny claw in each dish. It was very disappointing for an otherwise nice experience.
Great Italian food, friendly service and best experience
high price but better product. Not like some new cuchina.
We were at Cafe Celeste on Friday evening with guests,I have to say our meal was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly. Thanks very much Dilen for treating us so well. We will definitely be back
Kid-friendliness: There is a childrens menu.
This was a delightful evening!! The pasta dishes we had were truly wonderful. Great gluten free options. Atmosphere was lovely...
Fantastic in every way. Best meal we ve had in ages! Definitely a gem that we will revisit
Great people, great food, always had a great experience here.
Enjoyed the music, the atmosphere, and the food. The place looked great, and our server was attentive.
Ambience was fantastic due to this talented musician playing the accordion- mario!
The food was amazing and so was the service!
Food and our server were awesome but we walked in at 445pm and got told we only have two tables left so had to sit outside walked out a hour half later and restaurant was half empty hate when you get lied too should teach the kid at the front a little bit about service too people who pay up to 200 dollars in there place
Food and service were both fantastic
There garlic white wine sauce is amazing
amazing food and service!
Great food. A little expensive.
Great food and service. First time there but Ill definitely be back!
Great atmosphere with live accordion player. Very tasty food and fast service. Will be back.
Portions were large, food tasted great and service was good.
Rating might be higher if wed had the opportunity to eat the food, although we didnt want to stick around after inattentive service and seeing the astronomical pricing of the pasta!!!!!!!!!! Could not justify paying that amount and left to a neighboring restaurant.
Had mamosas and dinner ...it was fancy fun ..
Great service, delicious food
This was a gem of a restaurant and the food did not disappoint! Definitely my new favourite!!
Need better lighting. Layout of the restaurant needs to be addressed. Very weird vibe. Oil and balsamic.........its not mean to be in a vat. Can only imagine how much gets wasted on the dry bread Try harder. Lucky the flavors were good. Wouldnt be hard to change a few things.
By far the best food in sherwood park!!! If you havent...you need to!!!
Our food was very flavourful and quickly prepared. Our server was outstanding! She was very personable and pleasant! Great place and will visit again.
Always delicious food here!
Food was amazing as was the service! Kind of tucked out of the way so dont miss it. Highly recommended for great Italian food!
I ate here for the first time and it was amazing! I have been missing out on this local treasure. Highly recommend!
Stop by for a girls night/birthday celebrations and everyone was delighted with the food and the service. A must try for everyone, looking forward to going back for date night!
Breakfast was fabulous! Loved the frittata
Hubby surprised me with a date here and the pasta was great!
The atmosphere was nice abd that is about it. I found the food poor and overpriced abd had to send my partners meal back because it was awful.
Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service. I did find the prices to be quite high. Also, a choice of whole wheat pasta would be great for those whose dietary restrictions require. I would definitely go here again though for a nice night out.
Great place for gluten free pasta! I love my pasta, and the Cafe Celeste has to be one of the best Ive ever had. The baked Italian sausage in their white sauce was fantastic! And most of their pasta can be made gluten free. Generous portions too! Will definitely be back the next time we are in Edmonton!
i m typically not a fan of pasta resturaunts, but my god, the food here is SOOO good. Service was perfect, atmosphere was so nice. I will say, the tiramisu can be skipped, i would recommend getting a different dessert.
Incredible service tonight, the Male server always goes above and beyond but tonight a female server made a joke with my baby (he was in a terrible mood) it made us feel so welcome and comfortable, so thank you. You guys are amazing:)
The place is pleasant nice classy decor. The sangria is tastey. The only real issue is the food. Too much salt. Appetizer was good but the main dish was very salty. Normally canelloni is a very rich cheesy dish. This was almost all meat no cheese and the added a lot of salt to it. Far too much. Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free varieties of almost all dishes.
What an absolute disappointment. I had planned a special date night for my wife and I before our first born baby came into the world. Booked a reservation and showed up right on time. Upon arrival to the restaurant, we were seated promptly. And that s where we waited for 30+ minutes without being attended to, asked for a drink order or even acknowledged by the serving staff and made to feel invisible. We have never been ones to leave a restaurant because of poor service, but the kicker to this experience is being told to have a great night on our way out, making us feel like we didn t matter while watching other tables being attended to 6+ times while we sat and waited without even being offered a glass of water. Not sure we ll likely ever be back. Hopefully your experience is better than ours. Good luck.
Delicious, beautifully plated, and generous dishes!! The service is genuine and very appropriate. Natalia was very friendly and welcoming! She was just so knowledgeable about the menu. Felt very comfortable and relaxed. One of the best Italian restaurants in town! We will definitely be back!
A great place to dine with your spouse, friends, or business. The staff are friendly, considerate, and attentive. The food is flavourful and well presented with a broad menu. The options are plentiful. A definite must for us whenever we are in Sherwood Park. Delicious food, friendly staff, and a warm atmosphere.
Cafe Celeste is a hidden gem with a beautiful atmosphere that sets the perfect mood for a delightful dining experience. I recently ordered the Celeste Margarita, an absolute delight for my taste buds. The food is delicious, and what makes the visit truly special is the friendly service provided by the staff. Highly recommended!!
Food was lousy service was ok background music was too loud. People should learn to keep the background music lower so people dont have to talk louder just to be heard. My table of 7 people would have had a better supper at the McDonalds across the parking lot. We wont be back.
I was in Canada last month and I had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Celeste. It was amazing!
Cafe Celeste on Baseline Rd is a true culinary gem in Sherwood Park! The food is fantastic, the service is friendly, and the ambiance is inviting. Dont miss their special brunch, its a must try. Ill definitely be back for more!
Terry was an amazing service provider - highly recommend her.
Food: WOW. We have been making our rounds trying some new places in Sherwood Park as we have been turned off by our usual place and not returning. Let me tell you the food here is incredible. Melt in your mouth, delicious perfection. I have tried a number of dishes and I dont have a favorite. They are so accommodating to people with allergies and I have yet to hear from anyone about a negative experience. Please, eat here, try anything. Service: I would say that for the most part service is quite good, not the best Ive seen around, however, better than most. Every encounter we have had has been great. Our food, drinks, and just general attention from our server is always positive and as expected. Atmosphere: Pretty basic, clean, not in your face. Doesnt feel old or dated to me. Honestly, I was too involved with my meal to really pay attention to the atmosphere. I can say that Ive gone with a group or just a couple, and we have quite enjoyed the entire experience every time. Thank you!!
Best tiramisu!
Took my family here tonight who were visitng from NS. Wed been meaning to try it out since the summer when we saw a few good reviews and that kids eat free on Sundays. Portions were generous... food was delicious! Our server (a blonde woman..) was really sweet and attentive. She even offered to take our photo which was so thoughtful. Well definitely be back.
Delicious Italian favourites and a cozy room, Celeste is definitely good enough to be our regular spot in Sherwood Park. Staff is young, but friendly, and will definitely grow with experience. I only wish there was more Canadian wine on the menu.
We would definitely recommend Café Celeste everything was delicious, generous portions and the service was good. It s an intimate restaurant (maybe 20 tables?), in an awkward location, simple in its décor, but the food is fantastic. The place has a sort of simple, charming ambiance. If you enjoy Italian food, this one of the Park s hidden gems that offers a great value. Really enjoyed my birthday dinner & dessert was so yummy!
This was such a cozy atmosphere. The friendly staff and delicious food made for a special birthday dinner.
This place is amazing! Great service great food and great beer selection. The ceasers were awesome, beer was tasty and we had Baked Italian Socage with Picanthe Masala those Pastas was great even desserts Italian flitters was the best example . first time here and def not our last! I will come again to taste your Lingunine totoo mare for sure ;) Our server was awesome! Great atmosphere very impressed.
Dilan, second great meal at your restaurant. Have to say dinner cannelloni, then lunch penne carbonara like I ve never had before! Each time the other guests we brought were equally impressed. What a breath of fresh air to go to a non-chain Italian restaurant. Aren t we lucky to have you 5 minutes away from our own home? I ve been promoting you to all the neighbours Both times the service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about your dishes. I wish our lady server s name was on the receipt today, to promote her personally to you now. Thanks! Update: I came for lunch & brought another friend; the food quality was great but honestly I was quite taken aback at the portion size. Previously, I had ordered penne carbonara for lunch, a decent size portion came in a bowl and enough that I took some home. Today it came on a plate with a salad bowl sitting beside it. Seemed for the same price a much smaller portion ? I m not greedy, but it was noticeable. Back to Restaurant with my daughter this week, for lunch, we ordered dinner portions due to last visit. I had my fav carbonara, she had Dolce chicken curry....yum I tried some and might be another go-to. It was fabulous. Service as always, great!
I thought it was a cute little spot. Seemed a steady flow of customers. Service and staff 5/5 The meal was somewhat mediocre. The pasta was well cooked. But the sauces on the pasta dishes were a bit lacking. The balsamic vinegar had thickened in the bottom of the bowl under the olive oil they had served with the bread. My son had a pizza that sounded lovely but it s thin crust was already a bit soggy from the pasta sauce. One thing that would be helpful would be a menu for younger children with smaller portions. Their pasta was in adult sized bowls with only sauce on it. I did not inquire if they have a dessert menu so can not comment on it.
Have been here several times and haven t had a dish we didn t like. The portions are huge but it is the taste / food quality that keeps us coming back. The staff are wonderful and I just learned that the owner is also the chef (takes pride in serving delicious dishes). Highly recommend the Marsala pasta dish if you like spice and the red velvet dessert might be the best dessert I ve ever had!
Showed up for a friends birthday dinner at 7.30 pm. Yes, I bought my small child so I knew I would be eating quick and leaving early. By 9pm food was still not at the table so I had to ask for my bill and my food to go. I had ordered a bottle of wine for the table, a side salad, appy and kids pizza. And honestly, I got home with my take out ( I live less than 10 min away) and this food is the most disgusting looking meal Ive seen, let alone paid a $140 tab for. The food had clearly been sitting for a while. The $19 crustuni was cold and so chewy its not worth flighting to eat. The kids pizza is so greasy its not something I would have eaten hungover in my teens....I will not be back. I wish it let me post a picture, this is disgusting
Great service, pasta is the best in the park!
I tried this restaurant on a recommendation from a friend, and honestly was extremely disappointed. My husband, and I both wound up getting sick from the pesto cream pasta sauce, our server was nearly non existent, which resulted in my having to wait over forty five minutes before I could even eat my dinner. First after I had to get her to take my pasta back, and retoss it after she told me the pasta I was ordering came with a cream sauce(it didnt), and it was literally swimming in the white wine garlic sauce it was served in. My husband repeatedly attempted to get her attention, only to have her make eye contact, and then immediately disappear. Then when she finally returned *literally* twenty minutes later, and took my pasta to retoss it, she took my fork, and didnt bring it back. She then immediately left again before I could even say that my fork was missing, and without so much as refilling our water glasses, or even asking my husband if he wanted a refill for his empty drink, and proceeded to continue to ignore every attempt my husband, and I made to get her attention. Finally thirty minutes later, when my husband was nearly done his food, the HOST came to our table. As she had noticed my husband trying to get our servers attention, I was finally able to get a new fork. Our server didnt come back until she was asking us if we wanted a dessert menu! She even went to the table next to us, brought them the card machine, and then left again without so much as glancing in our direction! Thats not to mention that she returned to their table nearly twenty minutes later, at which point they informed her that she hadnt even brought them their bill! Honestly they looked about as impressed with the service as we were. The pasta itself was incredibly bland, and as a chef myself I was very disappointed. Especially after having had to wait so long to even eat it. I have worked in the service industry, and I understand sometimes things get busy, and it can be crazy. However they were not busy! In fact by the time we finally left, we were the only people left in the entire restaurant other than the staff, and it was early! I had heard good things about this restaurant, and couldnt have been more disappointed with not only the food, but the service. I honestly dont know that I would ever go back.
Very good experience!! Food was great!! We had the special, the fungi gnocchi and Italian sausage baked. Great flavors. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly (I believe her name was Natasha). She made some great recommendations! We will definitely be back.
A group of me and my friends had lunch there today we had very poor service,the bread on my steak sandwich was so hard I couldn t chew it ,the French fries were good as was the beer
Perhaps it s our fault for not making reservations but it s twice now that after being seated we were told that our table was reserved for a later time. This was mentioned at the front and again after we were seated. We decided to leave because we felt like we were not welcome. The food is delicious when we have been here numerous times before (also no reservations). The owner and her son was our server and he s wonderful. Perhaps all the staff should be trained in the same manner as the owners son who always made us feel welcomed.
My husband and I went to Cafe Celeste for the first time Monday night. The hostess greeted us warmly and brought us to the patio. Very nice first impression! There was lovely music playing and the patio ambiance was so nice. So much to chose from on the menu! Server was also very warm and welcoming. We shared muscles, salad and pasta. The muscles were good. The salad for the price I would have to say wasn t anything special. The pasta was very nice! Overall the service was warm, beautiful people with lovely smiles, and the music and food were very nice (minus the salad). I would definitely go back! Can t wait!
Chipotle sausage penne pasta is my new favourite comfort food. Dietary restrictions: I have ibs and have a few triggers. Staff listened to my requests and offered solutions. Never had any issue. Parking: Lots of close parking and never had an issue to get parking.
Ive dined here with a friend once, and the food was Delicious. Recently got some food to take home, there was a bit of disorganization when I picked up but the food was delicious. I had the truffle cream pasta
Weve been twice and intend to go again. Their new location is nicely done.
Prices are too expensive for the quality. Pasta was not that bad, would like to see less customer choice and more chef directed dishes. Really did not enjoy the pizza which is disappointing for an Italian restaurant.
I was there for a family celebration with lots of friends, food and service was excellent, it was my first visit of many more to come, I highly recommend this place
The meat lovers pizza is easily one of the best Ive ever had!
Superior food and quality service!!! Highly recommend eating here whether single night out or night with that special someone!!!
Staff excellent, food + drinks terrible
Absolutely amazing food! Service was great as well. Definitely check this place out!
Fabulous food. I went with four other friends. We all ordered a pasta dish and tried each others as little taste tests. Everyones dish was delicious. Service was superb. Highly recommend this place.
Service was great. Had the Chipotle Rose and Peato Alio Olio. The chipotle rose sauce was good as was the peato alio olio. The black olive were over powering in the peato. Felt the penne pasta wasnt worth the 30 dollar price tag.
Went for my mothers 80th birthday. Amazing food, service and attention to detail. We had a great time!
Food was good, service was good, nice patio
The service and food were very good. This is only the second Italian restaurant I have found that does a dish with sambuca. The other one has since closed down in Canmore. The licorice flavoring was very subtle so to my taste I advised the waitress they could use slightly more. The rest of my partys dished were also really good being the tortellini gnocchi and pomodoro. The only criticism I would have and I dont know what they can do about it is the noise level of other patrons talking. It really was hard to carry on a conversation not because of a radio blaring in the background but simply because of other peoples conversation but all in all a definite repeat.
Great spot in Sherwood Park. Enjoyed the seafood pasta ( giant portions !) , spicy penne and huge appetizer meat balls. Everything was delicious, (fresh pasta would have been an over the top option , sorry had to say it ).
What a great restaurant. The food and service are sensational. Thanks to Barbara especially for making us feel so special on our date night. Italian food at its best and a few unusual items too and great wine selections. Loved it, cant wait to go back
Food 10 Service 10 Cleanliness 10 Prices 10 Will absolutely be back.
We had an excellent experience at Cafe Celeste. The food was delicious and generous portions. Our server was very pleasant and accommodating. We ll be back for sure.
Absolutely amazing..!!! Such a warm and welcoming environment..!!The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly The food was fresh and awesome.. My dining experience overall was very pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant !!!
Just a great little place. Dont let the outside deter you from experiencing this gem of an Italian restaurant. Inside ambience was fantastic. Server was attentive, professional and welcoming. Food was very good. Yes, a little pricier than some places however my wife and I dont mind paying a bit more if the food is fantastic...and it was. Will definitely be returning and bringing friends!
Beautiful restaurant, nice decor and the staff are super friendly. Also, best ceaser Ive ever had! I ordered the pasta dish with jalapenos (sorry cant remember the name of it) but it was delicious! And their garlic bread! Great experience, only missing a star because of the prices - I spend about $180 for 3 people and the portions were very small
Cafe Celeste Bistro provided wonderful service to our large party of 14 and 7 month old twins. Very attentive and so nice to everyone. I had the fried calamari for the appetizer and grilled lamb with gnocchi for my entree. This was some of the best gnocchi I have ever tasted. Best texture. Absolutely lovely experience. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta options. Kid-friendliness: Our large party included two 7 month old twins. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Great atmosphere. Owners come around to check on you and the food is incredible. The taste is fantastic and the serving sizes huge. You will always go home with leftovers.
First the good. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We like the ambience, too. We find the restaurant to have some serious pricing issues. I had a 9-ounce glass of Chianti Ruffino. I know restaurants will always charge more than the liquor store, but at something like $16 (maybe $18) for my glass, I paid for that whole bottle on just my one glass. Not hard to figure out how they can manage 1/2 price wine bottles on Tuesday when they are putting in that kind of markup. And then the lasagna. Has anyone heard of unbaked lasagna? Dont you have to bake it just by nature? Well here, we were naive enough to say we wanted it baked, which meant a $7 upcharge for the baking with cheese. Ive bought blocks of cheese for less. I believe baked should be a given with lasagna. To me its like asking if youd like a bun with your burger and then charging extra for it. So all told, two glasses of wine - 1 6oz and a 9 oz, one pasta dish swimming in oil (and with the tomatoes I asked them to hold), one lasagna, one upcharge for lasagna to be baked, and we walked out having paid over $100.
Superb dishes, excellent flavour! I haven t had such excellent pasta since going to Greece. Will definitely make this a location for special family events
The service is incredible at Cafe Celeste, Josh moved things around to get us a last min reso, Terri was such a great server and everyone around was so friendly and attentive. The food is super tasty, it s a great spot for family dinner or date night . Pricing might be a little high but worth it I d say
I recently dined here for the first time. The space is very nice, the food was excellent, portion size was good, and our server Josh was fantastic! He was so kind and friendly, and made excellent recommendations. I cant wait to go back!
It honestly might be the best Italian food Ive ever had. Ive been there several times and its been great every time. Its a must try.
Food was great and service was lovely. Is more of a lounging visiting venue... Would not recommend as a first date spot.
Three of us went yesterday and all of us got food poisoning. Not coming back. Do not recommend. Would give it zero stars if I could.
Unbelieveable! This food is out of this world. The restaurant itself has a great vibe, the staff are wonderful and the wine selection! To die for. I suggest getting a full bottle, they let you cork it when you leave. 5 STARS!!!! Id give 10 if i could, but 5 is as high as it goes! Will be back again! Mussel monday is where its at! The red sause is so so nice.
Went to this place for wifes birthday celebration, amazing service , cozy ambiance and great food . I almost forgot they have the best pizza so far 9.5 out of 10. This place will definitely one of our top 5. More success to this little amazing Italian resto.
Sherwood Park treasure. Amazing food and service as always. Started with calamari that comes with a mint dip yum. Pesto Ali olio with chicken, linguine carbonara and Pollo Milanese were very tasty. Finished off with raspberry sorbet and Italian fritters. Great atmosphere.
I love the service. Food is tasty, specially the Lobster with cheese.
Delicious food, awesome service, and a large menu. Very cute location for a date or get together. We had a Christmas party gathering here and the staff was accommodating, great with reservations, and quick!
Amazing.
