Our 2nd time dining at Cellos. Outstanding customer service. Very knowledgeable run through of the menu & specials by our waiter. Drinks & food arrived quickly which was appreciated. We all enjoyed delicious homemade gnocchi & pizzas. All ingredients were fresh & tasty. I received a very prompt reply to my booking request of reserving a table in the pizza bar area. Great variety of options for food & drink which are very reasonably priced & the serving sizes were perfect. If you're looking for great food & service then this is the restaurant to try. Thanks to all the team at Cellos, we'll definitely be back.

The meatball spaghetti and the mushroom ravioli were both outstanding. There was nothing I'd change about either dish. We both had great wines to go with them. It's a place I'll go out of my way to recommend.

Service is outstanding; always the right time between courses and staff takes the time to explain the menu to you. The menu is unique and always delicious. Quantities are relatively small, but that allows for sampling a variety of dishes.

    Friendly and helpful staff from start to finish. We weren't rushed whilst we wined and dined on delish food. Midweek lunch with the girls was enjoyed immensely.
