    The space is very pretty and some of the food is quite nice. Overall however, the prédominent seasoning is just salt and oil to the point of being ham fisted in its application so you need to order carefully.

    Great atmosphere, swanky Buckhead crowd. Maybe we just didn’t get the best food for our taste, but I thought the pastas and sides were just too buttery and I never realized that could be a problem - I usually love a buttery dish. Maybe the flavor was off or too salty?. And the seafood was overpriced for a fishy flavor (halibut and octopus). Scallops were good. Cheese and meat board were my favorite part of the meal. I’d try some different dishes if I ever went back.

    The food here is pretty over rated. Every protein on the table was overcooked and chewy. The pasta dishes were not very balanced. It was good, but not worth the hype. Would definitely go again for drinks and the vibes.

    Phoenix was excellent. Beet salad was swimming in oil. Halibut was nice portion but very bland tasting. My husband had fennel salad and portion was very small for the price. His entree was pasta with clams. He liked it but too small of a portion and only had 4 clams.

    We were extremely impressed initially, by the decor, the friendly staff, the delicious bread and our salad. But both entrees were quite salty, to the point that neither of us finished ours as the cumulative salty taste just became too much. Not a really big deal but the music was a tad too loud for our tastes. The staff was friendly and attentive, but all in all we were disappointed in our first visit.

    The menu was filled with light and heavy options. Our server Jose took his time to really make us feel welcome and explain the menu to us. I have never had anything like the Gnocco Fritto we ordered. You have to try it if you go. Overall food, service and experience were once of the best I have had in Atlanta!

    My spouse had wanted to try St. Cecilia for months (he heard it was the best Italian restaurant in Georgia) so we went for our wedding anniversary. The interior recalls avant-garde b/w Italian movies but with throbbing dance music. We were both disappointed in the limited menu. We don't order salami/cheese boards or pasta out as I (Italian to the core) often provide such fare at home; "crudo" is taboo where I come from. About all that was left to us was fish; the large portion of flounder was way overcooked in a heavy bread coating and the halibut although tender was swimming in a sauce with nothing else on the big platter to absorb it. I enjoyed the bread puff like Step-nanna's fried dough but the spread with it I think was ricotta based (never a favorite of mine; my husband eats bread plain). Parking service was effective. Biggest disappointment to me was that the place was not founded by Italians; our special night at St. Cecilia was nothing like our many visits to Italy and Sicily.

    From start to finish, our experience was outstanding. We started at the bar prior to being seated. The bartender Annie was inviting, friendly, and made excellent cocktails. At the table, our server Brandon was knowledgeable, considerate, and made impeccable recommendations for food and wine. We let him take the reigns for coursing and pairing, and the flawless execution made for a truly remarkable dinner.

    We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary at St Cecelia last evening. It was a delightful experience: Beautiful ambience with approriate social distancing of tables. An attentive waiter, Darren, who made sure my food allergies were respected. The meal was delicious! It included the octopus, branzino, swordfish, polenta. Plus desserts. I highly recommend this restaurant for a wonderful dining experience!

    Our server was amazing!!! It was our first time, our server took us through the entire menu with perfect knowledge of what she was speaking about, she even included information about the lunch menu. We loved everything, the tuna Crudo, the arancini, and the octopus, for starters, were amazing. The rosemary bread was so buttery and tasty. The beef raviolis were the perfect entrée to share. We finished with a slice of the chocolate cheesecake with olive oil.  between the wonderful champagne and delicious food  we left, happy, full and satisfied.  Can’t wait to come back next month.

    There are very few restaurants you can say not only the dinner was phenomenal but the appetizer, dessert, drink and ambiance as well. Only issue is that now that I've experienced truly the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to, I will probably be holding other restaurants to their standards!

    The food (presentation and taste), was outstanding! I requested, in the reservation and when I arrived, my favorite server. The hostess told me he was not working today, and that she was seating us with her friend. After we ordered, I saw my regular server working. He was very apologetic and said he would speak with the hostess for future visits. Lunch was, as usual, perfection; however, the hostess is part of the service and the lower rating is directly related to her dishonesty.
