Where do I begin… This establishment came highly recommended, and did not disappoint! Tajh was our server, greeted us immediately with a friendly smile, was very attentive, and knew the menu like the back of her hand. We sat at the bar, where you can see the food being prepared in the open kitchen concept. We started with an appetizer of calamari ~ grilled, not fried ~ complimented with mandolin vegetables and an amazing sauce. Then, we shared two of the entree’s on the daily special menu: Braised short rib with calamarata pasta – it fell off the bone and melted in your mouth and mushroom ravioli with a brown butter sauce. Both dishes were bursting with flavor.
Midway through dining, Chef Corricelli approached us to ask how our food was. He is clearly a passionate culinary expert.
We finished with a delicious tiramisu for dessert – we were so full, but managed to finish every bite!
We will be back, and highly recommend Osteria Celli!

We went there without having a prior reservation. There were no tables available, but we (party of 3) decided to sit at the bar instead of leaving. So glad we did!! Service was slow, but they apologized several times because they were super busy. We ordered some drinks and ate the warm, crusty bread with the dipping sauce that they provided. We actually had fun sitting there and watching the chef making the food! The food finally arrived and it was INCREDIBLE! Big portions and absolutely delicious. I had the sea bass in a unique tomato sauce. Very different but delicious. The other two dishes were braised lamb and veal. All dishes were VERY good! Highly recommend this restaurant, but try to make a reservation before going.

The homemade pasta is simply perfect. Warm bread with fresh olives and oil was a delicious surprise.

Classy atmosphere, attentive servers, phenomenal food. I’ve had calimari before but it was my 1st time having octopus tentacle and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. My Veal dish was also spot on and the right size. They play lounge covers of songs instead of a live performer which was personally fine to me since places that do are typically way too loud to relax and enjoy yourself. Will definitely come again next time I visit Ft. Myers

Everything was amazing, great food, we made a reservation and we got seated on time, the food did not take long and it was hot and delicious.
Our server was nice but very busy. Also, a food runner/server assistant/hostess nice girl did and amazing job helping doing an incredible job making sure FOH was running as smooth is possible.
Thank you for the great experience!

Osteria Celli is the most authentic Italian restaurant. Every time I eat here, I feel like I’m back in Italy. Marco and his staff are truly the best in the business! The food is outstanding!

Magnificent Food, magnificent servers and Chef Marco created magic. Tatiana our server was delightful and so efficient. My husband and I had dinner there for the first time and cannot wait to return. Bronzino was a flavor I’ll never forget and keep craving once I leave. The Melanese was just what my husband was hoping it would be and beyond. This is an Absolute gem.

Celebrated New Year’s with friends at this exceptional restaurant. The Fix price menu was exceptional and worth every penny. We love this restaurant on a daily basis, and the new years eve menu was a step above. The blend of flavors with each dish was exquisite. This unassuming restaurant is a must, everyone we have taken here has been impressed.

Loved the food . Fresh handmade pasta . I come to town every few months and when I do I usually go there to eat at least 2 times during the week . The escargot, octopus and calamari are amazing appetizers and the gnocchi is to die for
