Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in High Falls

Patrick is literally dinner and a show. His knowledge of the menu, drinks and ability to match our preferences is amazing. All the servers are excellent and the food is the best in the area. This is our favorite.

Valentine’s Day is always difficult at a restaurant but it could not have been nicer. From the welcome we received at the front (big smiles, coat check, etc) through dessert and a complimentary rose on leaving, it was a magical evening. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable.

We love Cellaio and go when we can. It’s our go to celebratory destination. The food is always delicious, the staff is wonderful, and the atmosphere is divine. We enjoy so many of the menu items…this time it was a salmon dinner and a superb steak. Our waiter was Tim. We’ve met him before, so it was lovely to see him again. He is attentive, polite, efficient, and funny!! Great experience this time, and everytime.

Went for Monday Pasta Night prix fixe@$45. Great service, friendly and very attentive. The appetizers were delicious and plentiful. The pasta was just ok: cavatelli with duck ragu lacked flavor, tasted like it could have been made with ground turkey-no “oomph.” The spaghetti with clams and chili crisp was swimming in chili oil, tasty but too wet. Chocolate rocky road cheesecake was more like a thick mousse, but was tasty - albeit a bit too sweet. Not sure I think this is a “good” value, when you add in the wine (3glasses for two of us) and tax and tip the bill still comes to $165, for a pasta entree. I Love the ambience of this place, and it always has a very attractive crowd, just wish it was a bit less expensive.

Delicious as always- the don’t have the spoonbread this time which is our favorite but as usual it was fantastic. The Wagu burger was delicious as was the chicken. 10/10
