Merchant Information:

The elegant but casual atmosphere of Celestino continues to make it one of Pasadena's best kept secrets. The restaurant creates a menu filled with regional Italian fare and other seasonal dishes, all given Celestino's own imaginative twist. From homemade pastas to fresh seafood and game, the distinctive dishes change with the introduction of a new season and fresh ingredients, retaining the tastes of sophisticated home-style cooking. Whether it's lunch or dinner when a guests visits, Celestino delivers a range of flavors, including the likes of minestrone, a mixed seafood salad, lasagna alla Bolognese, grilled veal chops, Florentine style T-bone steak, risotto with squid ink sauce, and a number of other creatively presented dishes. The kitchen is also adaptable to working with a guest in preparing something that might not be on a menu that has Zagat Survey participants offering up adjectives like "imaginative" and "well-prepared." Celestino now invites you to check out the fall menu for regional and seasonal specialties. Buratta is being flown in regularly to enjoy along with fresh seafood, homemade pasta, fabulous steaks and the full bar! The wine list has also been lauded, winning continued recognition with the Wine Spectator "Award of Excellence." For guests, the list not only provides an extensive selection of fairly priced bottles but a number of boutique wines from top producers from many of Italy's up-and-coming regions. Their two private rooms with patios make ideal spaces for business meetings, special events, private parties and much, much more. There is no charge for use of free parking in the back.
