Arguably one of the best, most authentic Italian spots in the city. Chat up the owner while you wait & learn about the solid wine selection. Tagliatelle followed by tiramisu is where it's at.

The ricotta ravioli is one of the few perfect plates of pasta in the city and the cheese plate is as good as you'll find (smuggled directly in from Italy!)

This intimate, cash-only Upper West Side eatery doles out pizzas and pasta dishes to those who can handle the long wait for a table. Try out the four-quadrant quattro stagioni pie or the Penne Mo Mo. Leia mais

Amazing food. Great ambiance. Stellar staff. I love the family feel and the way everyone who works there treats you like a friend. Definitely have the tiramisu (best I've ever had).

Celeste doesn’t accept reservations (or credit cards), but it’s worth the wait. Their pizza is the best in the neighborhood; wood-fired, with a crust that’s not too thin. Leia mais

It's small, it's cozy, it has great food and affordable. What else do you need from a neighborhood restaurant? The go to place for when I have friends from back home coming over. Amazing gnocchi.
Lior YanayJunho 11, 2016
Super authentic Italian food! The pasta is great, but the pizza is amazing. One of the best sauces I had. The tiramisu is very good and not too sweet. Cash only, so come prepared.
William StudartMaio 20, 2016
One of the best Italian restaurants I've had the pleasure to eat. Authentic Italian, the space is small, so you may have to wait, but that wait is totally worth it. The pizza is great!
JPNovembro 12, 2015
Great for dates, we came for brunch and the French toast was delicious. Skip the eggs. Will definitely be coming back for pizza and pasta
Omar HarounSetembro 11, 2013
Authentic, cozy Italian restaurant. Everything we had was amazing, in particular the veal special, the hand-made pasta, and the napoletana pizza. Great manhattan dining w/out the manhattan prices
David SmagulaNovembro 6, 2012
This place is great. Delicious food, at least a dozen bottles of wine under 30 dollars and another dozen under 45. Carmine is a character but I love the guy. Get a pizza for app and the tagliatelle.

This little gem is cash only and there is usually a line, but the inconvenience is well worth it once you bite into your Quattro Stagioni Pizza or Tagliatelle Con Gamberi E Verza.

You can't go wrong with any of the pastas- all delicious and made fresh in house! Affordable and friendly- the owner is always there chatting with customers. One of my favorite Italian places in NYC.
ReALTOSetembro 24, 2012
Reasonably priced, high quality, delicious Italian--a gem of a restaurant nestled on a quiet stretch of Amsterdam Avenue. The homemade pasta is perfectly al-dente and the wood fired pizza is divine... Leia mais
Yuriy RuskoSetembro 13, 2011
Always full and worth the wait. The food is exquisite and a steal at the price. Try the penne with fresh buffalo mozzarella. Bring some cash as they don't take cards.
Hani HongMaio 25, 2014
If Tagliatelle Norma is ever on the specials list, stop looking at the menu and order this Immediately. It's the best dish of pasta and sauce I've had since I lived in Italy.
BravoJaneiro 27, 2010
Celeste is a cash only family-owned Italian restaurant where the pasta is made fresh daily. The chef goes to Italy every month to hand-pick several local and hard-to-come-by cheeses. The recitation of

Adorable spot! Awesome homemade pasta and really great wine selection. Legit Italian and the whole place, from the interior to the owner to the menu, reflects it!

Amazing Italian food. No reservations, cash only, slightly surly service, but delicious food. A great neighborhood place and an off-the beaten-path spot for tourists.

Pasta with clams really good, ask for a bit of the special olive oil for a little kick of spice

Cosy Italian restaurant, Upper West Side gem. Very inexpensive. Cash only. Be prepared to wait ~20 min but the food and atmosphere is worth the wait. Leia mais

This place is simply amazing! Fantastic food (I recommend the Margarita pizza), fantastic service, and a fantastic experience. The owner is terrific and this place easy acquires its five star rating!
Ben KNovembro 19, 2011
Tiny, cash-only, but very funny and attentive wait staff, incredible authentic Italian food, and a wonderful local environment. Definitely recommended if you're in the area, or if not worth the trip!
Joe RizkJunho 5, 2013
True authentic Italian. Always fresh pasta and cheeses. The tiramisu (made daily by the owner) with dark chocolate chips is a must try. Cash only
Sal OliveiraSetembro 1, 2013
Beautiful little traditional napolitan cantina, with one of the best tomato sauces I've ever had - and that's coming from a hardcore tomato sauce lover.

You blew it if you didn't order the vermicelli alla vongole (spaghetti with clams). Ask for the spicy oil.
Serious EatsJulho 17, 2013
The neighborhood Italian restaurant you wish your neighborhood had. Ricotta ravioli is one of the city's top plates of pasta.
AleAgosto 22, 2021
I would say go for the "Super Pizza". The lasagna tastes good but unfortunately not "al dente" which is a downside for me. I will give it another try thanks to its good service
Caroline RitterJaneiro 20, 2019
The pizza is great! It’s super charming and tiny, but worth being squeezed in.
New York HabitatNovembro 23, 2011
No frills here, just great food at a good price. Keep an eye out for their pasta specials every night and be sure to bring cash - cards are not accepted.
Josh WrightJunho 5, 2017
The only authentic Italian place I have found in New York. The staff and owner are really nice and helpful too.
Tasting TableAgosto 2, 2012
Try eggplant rolls ($8.50) and fried ricotta to round out your meal. With seriously cheap prices, don't skip dessert: Finish with the warm apple tart ($5.50): Leia mais

The Ricotta and spinach ravioli was terrific indeed but it's not very filing as it's quite a small dish. The shrimps & calamari wasn't really tasty and is not recommended. The prices are really good.
Ailie ChangJaneiro 25, 2015
CASH ONLY. Tagliatelle and Ravioli dishes are good. Go for lunch so you don't have to wait too long. Small quaint restaurant.
Sara YAbril 26, 2016
Ravioli with ricotta and spinach. Also make sure to have a chat with the owner; he's a delight.
Emily JenkinsAgosto 18, 2015
This is my absolute favourite restaurant on the uws. I adore their pastas, and the atmosphere is lovely.

The long wait is worth it, all the dishes there are delicious. Gnocchi for the win.

Really good food, and the best tiramisu in the city! Please note it's a cash only restaurant

This must be the best italian place in the city, especially given the good prices. Order the desert cheese plate (5, 10, or more!) and see Carmine, the owner, rattle off each cheese's history. Fun!
Samantha TaubeMaio 25, 2015
Great local spot that has been on the UWS forever. Good food but not the best on the UWS

Perhaps its greatest notoriety rests on a splendid Italian cheese course-served with various honeys, nuts, and preserves. Leia mais

Best Italian on the UWS. "Frying is the great pleasure of Neopolitan cooking."

Celeste is a neighborhood secret. It serves the best pasta and pizza in the neighborhood. The owner makes his own cheese and loves talking about cars especially Audis. What more can you ask for?
Y.Junho 8, 2016
Pasta cooked to perfection. Clams were fat and juicy. Authentic taste. Great love!
Martin RigbyMaio 23, 2014
If you like being verbally abused by the host you'll like this place. Some people do that and it's funny but this guy is just, not. Food is pretty good, but with so many great choices in New York...

Family owned Italian restaurant! Gets crowded so the earlier the better. Food is amazing!!
