This super small, but very charming spot in Sommerville is one of the top destinations in Boston!

Good food, the sauce and seasoning of our entrees taste pretty nice; but we came around 9pm and some of it wasn’t as hot as we wanted (like rice). The blue light wasn’t my favorite to whet my appetite, and sometimes the street can be a bit busy when sitting outside, but the cool weather made up for it.

Celeste is my favorite Peruvian restaurant in the greater Boston area, and possibly my favorite seafood restaurant in Boston as well.

The wait staff was attentive. We enjoyed the drinks (pisco & maracuyá sours) and the lomo saltado the most. The blue cod ceviche was good. We also ordered the tuna tartare causa, but I would not recommend it. The tuna gets lost in the mix, so next time I would try another filling.

Just amazing!! Ceviche was so good!! Actually everything was amazing. I didn’t care for their Pupusas (expensive for what it is- and flavor wasn’t all there). But everything else was out of this world!!!

Amazing team. They got me as a solo dinner from a table to the bar without me requesting it and it was perfect. Food is great. The wine list is perfectly currated, tight and efficient.

Amazing amazing. The food was outstanding. Tasty, bright, and beautiful in a food with soul way. The tiny interior feels intimate and fun. Prices made sense! The entrees are great for sharing. The cocktails were great. I am excited to come here often!

Our waiter was extremely personable and attentive despite being very busy on a Saturday night. We informed staff that it was our friend:s birthday halfway through the meal and they took the time to sing and also brought us a round of free shots. The food was also very solid. I got the tacu tacu with seafood and it was delicious along with the yaquita appetizer. The tuna tartare causa wasn’t my favorite because some of the tuna felt a little sinewy but but everything else was delicious. Make sure you have a reservation because the inside is very small and it gets very busy.

I had a wonderful dinner here with delicious food. Everything we ate was prepared carefully and thoughtfully and was absolutely delicious. The margs were fine. The service was very attentive and helpful. The restaurant is tiny but charming. I have a nut allergy and the staff were pretty good about it, but definitely double check things as there are nuts in some of the sauces and on a lot of menu items.
