Casellula

Good place. If you're a cheese fan, you'll definitely love it. The service was a bit mediocre, even though we were sitting pretty close to the "kitchen." Be prepared for a decent wait on weekend nights. If you're not willing to wait, there are plenty of other great wine bars in Hell's Kitchen.

I've been to Casellula several times and it's yet to disappoint. The space, which is clean and modern, is located a bit off of 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen. Certainly on the small side, so make sure to get there early if you wish to get a table. Once you're seated, you're sure to have a lovely experience.

I'd say their specialty is paring cheeses with wines and other delightful flavors. I'd recommend consulting the expert servers and sommelier depending on what you're in the mood for. They'll usually suggest a bottle to your taste along with 3 cheeses that pair well. The cheese paring also comes with some other items to complement the experience, like a toasted marshmallow or ricotta with honey. All the flavors meld together perfectly for a very unique tasting experience. The entrees are solid, but not quite as strong as their wines and cheeses. In the past, I've gotten the pork sandwich which is tasty but a bit on the heavy side. My fiancee usually gets a pasta dish. The mac and cheese is rich and creamy and the seasonal pastas are quite good as well.

The only downside is that its a bit on the pricey side, considering the other options in the neighborhood. Briciola,  Il Baretto, and Riposo 46 all come to mind as quite a bit cheaper. While not Casellula, they'll leave your pocket book in better shape.

Bottom line, definitely hit up Casellula for a date or a special occasions. Great wine and cheese selections with even better expert advice. You're sure to have a memorable experience.

Fantastic cheese selection.  Great charcuteries.  Good wine, tiny little place, fair prices, friendly service.

I wouldn't come here to fill up on a meal.  I'd consider this more of a tapas joint if saying "tapas" didn't bring Spanish Conquistadors immediately to my mind (Yes, every time I say "Tapas" I think of bearded, dark skin men in heavy breastplates and curved helmets, with checkered flags), but it's something similar. It's not often that I find goose on a menu, and they have it here - I love it.

I absolutely love this place.
