| - Love this place! It's a really cool space that has a bookstore, a stage/lounge-y type area, and the restaurant (with, most importantly, a really big bar).
My husband said the eggplant "meat"balls were "one of the best foods I've ever eaten," and he doesn't give praise like that easily. We had a chef's selection of cheese, and the pairings with various garnishes were fabulous. I had a veal agnolotti that was a bit decadent but hey, I picked it.
The service was great - props to the bartender John, who made thoughtful wine suggestions at each step of the way.
My favorite aspect of Casellula, aside from the great food, is the overall vibe. It's hip without being aggressively hipster. The crowd was great - everyone at the bar was sort of engaged in group conversation from time to time. The decor is a refreshing change from the filament bulb/steampunk aesthetic it seems like every other new restaurant has. It's just....cool, man.
(Bonus: there's also a reallllllllly great-looking private party room downstairs.)
