Ok, I gave it a "maybe" because it may be a good spot for some and for others it's not. I myself would not eat here again. Pricing is reasonable but portions are on the smaller size, so you can consider that for yourselves, service was
The seafood risotto was incredibly fresh -- each bite
The seafood risotto was incredibly fresh -- each bite bursting with the delicate flavors of the ocean. Perfectly cooked rice, rich and savory with just the right creaminess, paired beautifully with tender shrimp, scallops, and calamari. The dish was
A classic Italian cucina in old town Pasadena.
Celestino is old school hospitality and new school innovation. Service is nonpareil and the menu adds some interesting curves to some old favorites. My pappardelle bolognase with pheasant as the featured protein had me sleepwalking towards that heav
We just finished a dinner meal at Celestino's.
We tried it upon the recommendation from a friend for authentic Italian. We took our daughter for a casual family meal for 3. The dinner started out great with bread brought to the table and a friendly waiter. My daughter ordered spiral pasta with 4
Food was meh.
Crowded. Service was sporadic. Find a better Italian restaurant for osso bucco.
Excellent service.
Our gentleman server knew every dish and ingredient on the menu and pronounced them and the specials all from memory. Always enjoyable to be treated to real professional wait staff. The food was great. I got beef carpaccio which was paper thin and
We love this place.
Great food. Professional staff who are also friendly. We have going here for years, never disappointed.
Lovely ambiance but that's about it.
Food was mediocre at best. Had the risotto special and steak ravioli which were bland.

My friends and I came for dinner and waiters were all friendly and attentive. The waiter came by and asked if we wanted an appetizer and he shared a few options and we decided to try the burrata cheese. They brought a plate out for each of us with
Excellent service, amazing meals.
Never disappoint. The menu is vast and if what you want, as long as it's Italian, they will try to accommodate..
First time coming here and definitely not our last.
We finally found a delicious Italian restaurant. From the first bite to the last bite of our dessert. Everyone was so attentive. Our waiter Nicola I believe that might be his name was wonderful.

Ciao Chow
We found this place through google and were delighted to have come across this gem. The ambience is that of a cosy family run Italian village restaurant. Celestinos has a patio facing Lake Avenue plus two sizeable private rooms. The service is very f
Service was great, a bit noisy .
The only thing was the lobster served with the pasta was very tough, like it was overcooked or reheated. I told our server, and he said he would ask the cook, but did not get back to me. The price $ 48.00 not worth it.

Consistently solid food and service with an authentic Italian vibe. A go to place. Only wish they would make a chicken cacciatore

Frankly I'm wondering if all these 4/5 star reviews are even real...? Have lived in Pass for many years but had never eaten at this restaurant. Made the unfortunate mistake of trying it out for the first time while my father-in-law was in town -

My friend and I got food poisoning from here a while back one night, and when I called them about it to let them know their food might be contaminated, they tried to deflect the blame on me. We came here one night and the food tasted good and staff w

Absolutely wonderful! Words can't express how much I love
Absolutely wonderful! Words can't express how much I love this restaurant. Every time I go the waiters are very friendly and enthusiastic to serve you. The inside of the restaurant gives a cozy and welcoming vibe. And don't get me started o
I dined there this week.
The only thing worse than the food was the service. Getting a waiter's attention took too much time and energy, especially since the restaurant was not busy. So many things we were served had been frozen and then not defrosted properly, like t
An expense-account place for good food and big budgets
Our small group appreciated Celestino's excellent service, extensive menu and wine list and very good Italian food. We also enjoyed our comfortable table with an entertaining view into the busy kitchen. Our arugula & artichoke salad ($22.50,
a wonderful respite
Celestino was full of regular and occasional customers on one of the worst evenings of the year, when thousands of Pasadena and Altadena residents had been evacuated and/or suffered the complete destruction of their homes in the Eaton fire the previo
Must go!
Great Italian restaurant serving original Italian food. The food is delicious and the service is perfect. They now what they are doing in this place. We are on holiday from the Netherlands, know our Italian food but went here for three times in ten
The questionable “olive oil” was our first clue
We feel obligated to warn our fellow diners. The four stars posted here are years old, and with good reason. Unfortunately this place was the WORST Italian (in this price range) we have ever had in Los Angeles County. Besides being Italian ourselves,
Italian cuisine & service at its worst!
Poor service, over 1.5 hour wait for food , screwed up bill, forgot it was a birthday celebration and poor presentation of food! Everything about this experience was flawed except for the atmosphere! We told the waiter we were going to pasadena pla

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Celestino Ristorante & Bar Pasadena at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Celestino Ristorante & Bar Pasadena page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Celestino Ristorante & Bar Pasadena to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Celestino Ristorante & Bar Pasadena!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
