My friends and I fell in love with that cute little restaurant. The food was AMAZING. The cheese person (?) surely knows her thing and recommended us an incredible assortments of cheeses with their sides. I never thought I could enjoy a cheese plate like that. It was something else, really! The flavors were subtle and delicate in every meals we had; the burrata, the flatbread, the mac and cheese and the grilled cheese. That was A LOT of cheese, but hey, it's kind of the point of going to a place like that!
The waitress also recommended us some great wines. Overall, we loved our experience from A to Z.
Give your taste buds a favor and go try it out!
I LOVED this place. I met up with a few friends here for wine and cheese. I had a great white from Abruzzo and my friends all had really good reds.
But onto the truly amazing part – their cheese pairings. We split a grand total of six cheeses and they matched each with the craziest, tastiest pairings. Most notable was the blue cheese with Nutella, another cheese with salted caramel fudge, and yet another with apple chutney and an apple chip. (I apologize for not remembering the names/types of cheeses, but they were so good I was distracted). We also had the ricotta crostini which were good. A little on the small side for what you pay, but still very good.
The servers were extremely friendly and were great about bringing us plates, fresh water, etc. and the food and wine was great as well. Hopefully I'll be back soon!!
This is one of my favorite places to go whenever I'm in the city. They do their cheeseboards with really interesting pairings, and it is always an entertaining and educational experience. The staff are lovely and the space is cozy. They do not take reservations, so be prepared to enjoy a glass of wine and wait a bit.
Casellula is a lovely place for some post-theater wine and cheese in Hell's Kitchen. We dropped by here after a show in Times Square for a nitecap and had a great experience!
We got a wonderful bottle of Spanish wine and let our server decide which cheese would be best paired with it and she did the rest! We were good with anything as long as it wasn't too crumbly (personal preference). Our server ended up choosing three great cheeses that complemented our wine. We also got the apple cake which was amazing – just the right amount of apple and pecans.
We can imagine that the wait probably goes out the door during peak times as the place is relatively small. With that in mind, it's probably better to come here with 1-3 people max as it doesn't seem like they can easily accommodate large groups (unless you're willing to wait). One of my favorite aspects of Casellula was the atmosphere! It's cozy and classy while still being fun and lively. The servers remain upbeat and nice even when the place starts to get packed. Definitely worth another visit!
Both the Pig's Ass Sandwich and Mac & Cheese are amazing and worth the hype. But the Strawberry Rhubarb dessert was only passable – the ice cream on top was great and i loved the crispy shell, but it was too sour overall. The wait staff was friendly and helpful with wine recommendation.
Overall, this is a great spot for casual dinner and drinks in Hell's Kitchen. It's pretty tiny so I assume it may get a bit loud when it's crowded over weekends, but it was pretty quiet and cozy when I came here at around 7pm on a weeknight. They don't accept reservations, so I recommend you either come over weeknights or early over weekends!
Love the location right by my office, of course – and one of the great wine bars around. The cheese plates really are as good as the reviews say they are. Having a reservation is helpful or you can sit at the bar, which is small, but works for a drink with 1-2 other people. We had bottles of rose and an awesome meat/cheese plate that staff put together for us since we couldn't make a decision at the time. This included a Nutella/blue cheese combo that was to die for. I will definitely be back soon.
What a fantastic find for pre-theater snacks! We absolutely enjoyed our wine and carefully curated cheese board. The complement selected for each cheese was perfect. Who would have thought a cheese could pair so well with caramel popcorn? To top it off, the staff was incredibly pleasant and fun to talk to. We thought we were just stopping in for a glass of wine and moving on, but a few glasses in along with the fantastic food, there was no else we needed to be. Would definitely return!
Lovely wine bar, I came here for a late night drink, love it for opening till 2am during the week.
They have a good selection of wine and the waitress was very helpful in explaining it to us and let me try before I made up my mind. I also love the atmosphere, it's speakeasy but also vibrant at the same time.
I didn't have food this time but will come back again to try some!
