Mandarin Express

So good that I had to come back for my birthday dinner... Came to St. Cecilia a few weeks ago with friends as it had been on my restaurant list for some time, left the establishment wanting to come back as soon as possible. The ambiance is wonderful, very open and warm, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a thoughtful touch to everything you see. Staff: always so helpful and ready to walk you through the entire menu at a moment's notice. One of the best things about the menu is that it's never the same! It changes monthly–didn't realise until I came back a second time and the only pasta I recognised was the Cacio e Pepe... You can taste how mindfully each dish was made, never a dull moment as the flavours are excellently paired and the ingredients are fresh. Even my parents (who are some of the harshest critics I've met) were unable to produce any criticisms except for that the Cacio was too rich for their taste. Fun music-themed cocktail menu! My sister is a passionate fan of the gnocco fritto and has asked me to recommend it. Order the burrata with their complimentary focaccia (to die for), and though I've only tried their pastas, I saw a delicious-looking scallop dish pass by me that I am determined to order next time. Your money will be well spent here, I guarantee it! Can't wait to go back again.

A magical Rehearsal Dinner evening! St Cecilia was stunning and our service team, Robbie, Natalie and Branden, were the BEST! They worked well with each other and they assisted all of our guests needs, whether it be gluten free, vegan or another canape or glass of wine. They even accommodated the flower girl, who is 11 months old, and she loved the "special" buttered pasta and ice cream! Naturally, compliments to the chef too! The food served was outstanding, from the swordfish skewers, insalata mista, the incredible agnolotti, with a choice of NY Strip or roasted chicken, ending with the orange olive oil pudding cake! Each course was a masterpiece! Finally this extraordinarily marvelous evening came together through St Cecilia's event planner, Amanda Tramontance. She is professional, knowledgeable and accessible, as well as approachable and honest. She is detail-oriented and with her impeccible active listening skills she created just the perfect atmosphere for this event as well as guiding the time-line. The impeccable service and the exceptional food, along with the behind the scenes guidance, created an evening to remember! Thank you all at St Cecilia...CHEERS!!

I rarely give 5 stars, but St. Cecilia's was amazeballs in every way! I was there with family and all of us are eating gluten free. Their gf pasta was outstanding! Even the squid ink pasta was available gf! We ordered the squash and potatoes, truffle pasta, and the pasta wirh Italian sausage. I asked for a white wine recommendation and I loved it! Our waiter was wonderful, too! We also got the chocolate cheesecake... light, decadent, nothing like the block of solid chocolate you get at some places. St. Cecilia's is also beautiful. Make this a destination if you're in Atlanta!
