    A FANTASTIC PLACE! I’m from So Fl so I like a really nice Italian restaurant once in awhile but I moved here about 6 years ago and just found out about the Cellar. What a fantastic place for excellent food, the service was fantastic along with the old home. I really love this place and I will absolutely be returning more often.

    Positive: Quiet place with a nice atmosphere suitable for a date. Friendly staff. The Smoked Salmon fettuccine dish was excellent. Negative: Menu items were over priced. The serving portions were extremely small. The gnocchi dish was bland. Not a good value for the money spent. Will not return.

    Had dinner upstairs not in the "cellar". So room was quiet on a Wednesday evening. Menu is vast and wines recommended were very good. Appetizers and Entrees were small portions but very tasty. Would return and try some other dishes that looked enticing. Dessert was Pana cotta it was good but would try something different next time. Hope the next reservation puts us in the main cellar dining room.

    The restaurant is very nice, While upstairs is very small my date made it wonderful. Downstairs is dark but more romantic. The food is absolutely fantastic. The chef takes great care in his preparation and presentation. To start we had the Prosciutto di Parma con Melone e Per. For the main course We had the Grouper special and the Duetto Verde e Nero. For desert we had the Peach Biscotti Crumble (special the Bread pudding with vanilla Gelato. We also had a wonderful Riesling to accompany our meal. The wine list was wonderful and the Sommelier well versed. We felt they could have update the upstairs and added some fresh flowers. .

    The first restaurant my wife and I have gone to that resembled some local restaurants in Roma & Firenza. The ambience was very similar, the menu layout, the course progression. Maybe slightly smaller portions, but filling either way. All 4 courses were delicious, this first visit to The Cellar. As well as the wine and service.

    Great ambiance for sure! Great for a family or a date night. Food presentation was good. Our waiter did not know any information about the menu items. Wasn't familiar with the specials. Didn't make any good recommendations or give any solid answers when we asked if a dish was good or not. The food wasn't anything to brag about. It was descent. Maybe we got the wrong dishes, but still, for the price, it should taste exquisite. The chocolate mouse was very good. The carpaccio was pretty bland.

    By far the best authentic Italian food we had since we left Providence RI. Wonderful! The wine selection is the best in the area. Lena, the owner is warm and inviting. We ordered the mushroom appetizer with gorgonzola cheese- best thing I ever ate. Then we ordered the meat pillow pasta - I wanted to howl out loud it was so delicious. If you cannot find a table on Open Table - call Lena directly at the restaurant. We cannot wait to go again.

    Wound up at a table near the wine rack so there was some traffic around us. Glad we got in early as it got noisier later on. Service was attentive. Ambience was marvelous. Food was generally excellent. My wife’s meal was supposed to have porcini mushrooms; whatever they were, they were not porcini in spite of the waiter’s insistence. She knows her mushrooms!
