Absolute delight. What a wonderful find. Gorgeous cocktails and amazing food. The Gigi cocktail was amazing and the Angie pizza... and stuffed meatballs a dream. So glad we found this spot. Will be making it a definite visit on all future trips! Read more

My wife and I were walking down E53rd street and noticed this wine/cocktail bar we'd never been to. Very happy that we stopped... in. From the very nice wine selection, to interesting cocktails, to the awesome couple running the place, we thoroughly enjoyedour visit. I had a nice California pinot noir and my wife started with a refreshing Aperol spritz. We ordered a couple ofspreads, white bean and also the eggplant capponata. Very tasty and hit the spot. We also had the ancient grain bowl which wasalso delicious (and healthy!). I followed with another pinot and my wife took a recommendation for a paloma cocktail and lovedit. Overall A+ experience in this cozy bistro with a great vibe. We'll be back! Thanks! Read more

The food and drinks at Cello are fabulous. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a few glasses of wine and some cocktails as well -... Raffy and Will are the warmest hosts! I had the ancient grain bowl and my husband ordered the aunt Angie pizza - freshest andmost delicious food prepared by Tony! This spot is a hidden gem in midtown east. Will be back for sure!

Great cozy neighborhood wine bar, good for a date or catch up with friends. Not good for groups (small tables). They have a room... in the back that I guess they rent out for private parties? A bunch of 20somethings in pink cowboy hats started showing uparound 9pm, but they stayed in the back and weren’t disruptive. We ordered the happy hour rose (better than you’d think),pita and hummus (fine), smoked Mac and cheese (YUM) and mushroom ravioli (DOUBLE YUM!) If you’re in the neighborhood it’s agreat choice - nicer than it looks from the outside IMHO. Read more

One of the best places to enjoy a cocktail, wine, or light bite in NYC. Lucky for me, I live in the neighborhood, and I get to... go frequently! The vibe is fantastic. Exposed brick, cozy, live music some nights, friendly service…an all around wonderfuland special spot. Highly recommend! Read more

This bar has such a sexy vibe. From the lighting, the decor, the size....I'd say this is a great place for a date night or even... a small get together with friends. Great wine selection and the cocktails are really tasty. But I really need to talk about thefood. The food is sooooo good and the chef makes it right in front instead of being in a kitchen somewhere in the back. I highlyrecommend the stuffed meatballs or any of their signature pizzas. You can taste "home" in the dishes. I met one of the ownerstoo and he was the bartender for the evening as well. Great guy with a talent to know delicious flavor combinations. I can'twait to go back again! Read more

I like the vibes and setting. It’s the after work scene where people just come and hang out after work. At 6.30pm the place... already packed. A little small as you might not have much room between the next table but once you get into conversation withyour companion, It shouldn’t be a problem. I got the pizza which is pretty good. Happy hour finish by 7pm. :) Read more
