“Wow! René is super attentive and friendly. The bartender was also very attentive and really knows his cocktails. The drinks were amazing, and the pizza was perfectly cooked. The service was more than excellent. Thank you so much! Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back soon!”
“We had dinner at Sociale Celler and really enjoyed the experience. The basement private room is small but very cozy, comfortably fitting around 20–30 people, and being next to the wine cellar creates a warm, intimate atmosphere that works well for a group dinner. Starters were served family-style. The Napoli-style Pizza Fritta was a highlight—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—and the meatballs were flavorful and well balanced. For the pasta course, I chose the Carbonara, which was rich, well executed, and made with very fresh ingredients. The Branzino was extremely fresh and simply prepared, allowing the quality of the fish to shine. Desserts were shared and included the Tortino al Cioccolato, a classic Tiramisu, and the Meyer Lemon Catalana, which was bright and refreshing. The family-style setup for the desserts worked well overall; however, slightly larger portions or individual servings could make it even better, given the no double dipping rule. Overall, Sociale Celler offers a cozy setting with thoughtfully prepared food and a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience, especially well suited for group dinners and private events.”
“Chef's kisses for this beautiful restaurant! From the moment that we walked in we felt like family. This is what quality food is about. The smells, the sounds and the atmosphere is so beautiful. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed. These meals are prepared with the utmost care. The lamb was out of this world. They do offer gluten free options. Make sure that you ask the waiter. My favorite dessert is the lemon one. I get it every time we go. They can make this gluten free as well. The prices are great for the quality and amount of food that you get. They spare no expense with making sure that you are fed well. The wine pairings are perfect! and the cocktails are great as well. Sociale also offers a private dining space if you want to host a private party.”
“Dinner here was outstanding. They have very good cocktails. Their service is excellent. And we really like the atmosphere; the abundance of leafy green plants is refreshing. We really enjoyed their pizzas, with their super crispy but light crusts and fresh ingredients.”
“Love this spot, especially when the weather is nice enough to sit outside (it gets PACKED though, so make a reservation!) Recommended: - Meatballs - Carbonara - Farfalle Di Mare - Their welcome bread, omgggg - Cocktails (wonderful and beautifully presented) Maybe Skip: - Pizza Fritta (I love fried things, and especially love fried panzerottis, but wasn't in love with their fried pizza here, but just my opinion!) Great spot for dates or to catch up with friends. Service is always fantastic.”
