Business Description

latimesguide

Named after superchef Celestino Drago (who still runs the operation with his brothers), this is a pleasant venue for typical northern Italian specialties, with a few of Drago's Sicilian dishes thrown in for fun. With its classic paintings, white-linened tables and green marble bar, the restaurant offers a somewhat subdued, tastefully decorated dining room. There's a sense here that the food is taken ... more

The service was good, and the ambience was nice (we sat in the outdoor patio because the front patio seemed too noisy). My wife had the angel hair pasta with tomatoes which she liked, and I had the spaghetti with seafood which tasted good. But ... more

We expected high prices and very good food, and Celestino met our expectations. The wait staff was very fast, and the menu was bigger than I expected - I had a hard time choosing, and that was before the specials were read. I went for the gorgonzola risotto, and a bowl of mushroom soup. It was filling and very flavorful, although the risotto was a little runnier than I would have preferred. We ... more
