Celi’s Resto — Restaurant in Brussels

If I manage to save even one person from dining at this place, I’ll consider my review a success.

Beyond the fact that the prices are unreasonably high and the portions extremely small, the food itself was simply bad — not mediocre, but outright unacceptable. Had the food been of good quality, I wouldn’t have minded the cost or the portion sizes. Unfortunately, this was not the case.

The food tasted like it had been pre-cooked, stored in the fridge, and reheated — poorly. The so-called carbonara was nothing more than plain pasta with a generic white sauce, completely lacking the depth, texture, or flavor of a real carbonara. It was obvious it had come straight from the fridge and been hastily microwaved.

The ragù was equally disappointing — essentially spaghetti with ground meat. The meat had that unmistakable texture of having been refrigerated and then reheated: dry, clumpy, and flavorless.

In short, this place is overpriced, the portions are laughable, and the food is not only inauthentic but also poorly prepared. Avoid it — there are far better...

We had dinner here after seeing so many good reviews and it seeming as a place that offered amazing food for a good price however we were dissapointed. Im hoping it was down to us visiting on a night that was understaffed or underprepared as the food was terrible, however the service was lovely with only one very kind gentleman doing the whole front of house. The food was terrible, the Carbonara was bland and watery and very al dente almost undercooked, the tomato pasta came with 4 or 5 tomatoes in a watery and again bland 'sauce'. Both dishes came without parmesan and the offer was not given but rather you were charged for it on the menu alongside bread which i have never seen at any restauruant. Overall other than the lovely service the meal was dissapointing and we will not be returning, im hoping that again we caught it on a bad night as the decor was amazing and reviews hold it in a positive light. I would...

This place had good reviews and I was craving Italian so I checked it out. It was decent but I was underwhelmed. Despite making a reservation, there wasn’t a table for me. Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait long but it was a departure from my experiences at other restaurants while I was in Brussels. The wine I ordered (Chardonnay)was out and while they offered me an alternative for the same price, the wine wasn’t chilled (very much room temperature) and I got a bit of a baby pour compared to other glasses I saw go by. Had I known it wasn’t chilled, I would have ordered a red. The food was decent but was cold after my first bite, which was unfortunate and I’m not sure how that gets solved. I wanted to order dessert but based on my experience so far, I was nervous it’d be a waste of money. The waitress was very nice and they were clearly busy, so I...
