Great ambiance and fantastic drinks. It's pricey, but its buckhead so what do you expect. Definitely need a reservation, but a great date night out. The food was good but not the best Italian in the city. Octopus is a mist- that was my favorite thing we got. Striped bass was cooked well but it's literally bass and sauce, so felt more like an a la cart then a meal. The pasta was good -definitely fresh made. I would definitely come back for the drinks.
What a sweet spot! Great ambiance. We sat at the bar, but our would be a lovely place for dinner Both the cocktails and mocktails yummy. I had a delicious rye based old fashioned like cocktail, served up. My friend had la boheme, unusual and delish. Great service. Great food. We weren't that hungry so we'll have to go back for dinner soon!
Truly stellar Italian cuisine with a solid wine selection. St. Cecilia has become a destination for us each time we visit Atlanta. The service is impeccable. And the ambiance is intimate without feeling claustrophobic.
Amazing establishment, beautiful decor and ambiance . I went for my birthday and was treated like royalty. The service was spot on and my waitress was very attentive. I truly enjoyed the octopus and the pasta was amazing. The broccolini wasn't my favorite, but it was a very large serving .
Thursday at 6:30 pm We hosted a group client dinner of about 25 people and sat at the chefs table situated right in front of the open faced kitchen where you can see all dishes being prepared . It was impressive that despite it being open , there's food ventilation maybe due to the very high ceiling . The place is large , open and is conducive for big groups . We had the charcuterie board, arancini ball ( crowd favorite ), sashimi , pasta to share served with the delicious bread . The entree choices varied from steak , bass ( popular choice ) with the caper sauce and pasta . Most opted out on dessert but the one who did order the chocolate cake enjoyed it . Service was good but could have used an additional server for a party of 25 . For what ifs worth , the waiter did a great job and his friendly and good attitude is worth mentioning !
St. Cecilia was AMAZING!! I came for my friend's birthday dinner in October and I'm still thinking about the experience. I only got one pic cause everything was so delicious and it was a fish dish, I don't remember what exactly. Everything was amazing; the drinks, crudo, bread, etc. the service was excellent, everyone was kind and welcoming from the bartenders to the servers! The place is so classy and cute, a total vibe! Definitely check it out!
The ambiance is such a great live vibe...went with friends to catch up and laugh and this space was perfect for that. Our server Phoenix was top notch with his recommendations and also exceptional service... the food!!! Omg ...delish!
A nicely decorated restaurant with light airy design. The valet and hostess were extremely welcoming upon entry and exit. Don't hesitate to get the bread service. The hamachi crudo was very tasty and the octopus was probably some of the best I've ever had. The cacio e pepe was divine. Two pet peeves, 1) The service was painfully slow. Our server was nice, but my party felt like the staff had forgotten about us at certain points during our meal. 2) Single stall bathroom needed to be tidied up. I won't say what I saw.
I can't wait to come back here. The beautiful high ceilings with plenty of natural lighting, the impeccable service, and the incredible food. Our server was SO accommodating and knowledgeable. She was able to make a cocktail from an old menu based on measurements of the drink from a prior visit and she nailed it. She was also very friendly and always had a smile on. It's a beautiful restaurant. It's not too posh or modern, but it almost feels like you're not in Georgia because of the European color scheme and floor to ceiling windows. The Tagliata Di Manzo (aka ribeye) was amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly and the capers were the unexpected star of the show. They added the right amount of salt and tang to the steak. The charcuterie selection board is probably one of my favorites that I've had so far in Atlanta. Huge portions, every single meat and cheese was delicious. I really appreciated the honeycomb, honey is such a perfect complement to charcuterie but not everywhere served them together. The mustard/relish condiment was also a nice surprise - not too mustard forward, but enough acidity to go with the sweetness of the meats. the prosciutto was the softest I've ever had - in the best way. It almost melted in your mouth. I wish they served endless amounts of their fresh focaccia. It is so crispy that the outside almost shatters when you crack into it while the inside stays fluffy. It is the ideal foundation to eat with your charcuterie as well. The hamachi was okay - felt like it needed more salt in order to bring out the flavor of the fish. The patate croccanti was an excellent accompaniment for the ribeye. They had a nice funk from the cheese and they were not too crispy but still crispy enough to be the textural component of the meal. Will be coming back and would highly recommend.
