Cello Italian Restaurant 209 East Grand River Avenue, Howell, MI 48843

"I love Cellos. From the food to the small plates that we can share and taste more. The best thing is the service. They always make you feel welcomed and our waitress was great."

"Had a delicious dinner the day after valentines day to avoid the busyness of the night before. Emily S was an amazing server, very tentative. Alll her recommendations were terrific and exactly how she explained. Chefs deserve a lot of credit for how well the meal was prepared and cooked. We will be back."

"My girlfriend and I recently checked out Cello and fell in love. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate. The food is amazing. The Gnocchi is absolutely fantastic and I'd highly recommend. (All the food is great!) But, really for us, the service on Valentine's Day was amazing. Blake was super personable and chatted a bit even when holiday busy. He noticed that I had received the wrong starter before I even had a chance to mention it and had it corrected. Recommended and brought a couple wine samples to taste. Really made the night special. As much as it pains me to recommend anything owned and ran by Adam Merkel with his reputation for how he treats his people.. I'd def recommend Cello.. And ask for Blake."

"One of my favorite restaurants in Howell and top formal dining experiences. Big shout out to Emily for her wonderful hospitality!!! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and at home. Everything on the menu sounded incredible, we stuck with pasta dishes to share. Every dish was perfect from start to finish! The wild mushroom gnocchi was delicious, and my favorite. Their red sauce is perfect, I caught myself eating it by the spoon full, well after I finished my dish."

"Wow!!!!! What an incredible dining experience!! Everything about this dinner was amazing. Our server made excellent recommendations and stated she had worked at the restaurant since she was 16 years old because she enjoys the food so much The passes are all handmade daily and you can walk by in the back and see them making them. Tonight if they were making the tortellinis by hand and you could see the freshness! The arugula salad was dressed perfectly with the perfect amount of goat cheese. If you're a party of two, you may not want to get the roasted garlic as it is absolutely delicious but a very large portion when there are so many other excellent choices. The menu is well done considering they offer the options of smaller and larger portions. I recommend one appetizer to split as well as one small pastas. Plus have one of the protein dishes. We cannot wait to go back again!!"
