    Went to do the dinner Buffet. It was 13.99$ per person. The server came out and gave us house salads. They also came out to give us slices of pizza. That was definitely awesome. We were super full at the end and when we were about to leave they came out with dessert! The zeppolis were fresh and warm. They were sooo good. Buffet has good options. Red sauce and white sauce choices. The severs were super friendly. We will deff be coming back. It was overall a nice experience.

    The people who work here are so sweet and kind! The food was pretty good and I was talking with the people I came with about how I wanted something sweet and when I came back to the table they had dropped off this really good dessert! So sweet

    Their chicken parm is extremely basic. One thin dry and bland slab of chicken with minimal cheese on a store bought bulky roll. I have definitely had way worse chicken parm, but this was extremely generic. No italian seasoning or anything to differentiate it from a normal chicken patty. It was decent, but definitely not good or great. I would give it a 5/10 overall. The lady who answered the phone wasn’t particularly friendly, so that’s why I am giving the service a 2/5. The fact they have a buffet is really cool and I would consider checking it out at some point.

    My husband and I went here because I was craving a chicken cutlet parmigiana hoagie (I am from NYC and call it a hero). Good Italian food that lives up to my expectations is hard to come by in Florida, but we were impressed with Celeno’s! The service was unbeatable! When we walked in, two customers were walking out and raved to us about it. You could tell they were regulars and love the staff. I immediately could see why. We were greeted right away and escorted to a table. Our host/server was incredibly welcoming, enthusiastic, and attentive. He and the rest of the staff were all like this and you could tell they really appreciate their customers. The atmosphere was pleasant with comfortable seating as well. As for the food - I had the chicken parmigiana hoagie, my husband had the meatball parmigiana one, and we split a stromboli. The stromboli was delicious! The mozzarella on all 3 items was so good as well as the bread/dough. My only complaint for the chicken was that it was too thin so it wound up being too tough/dry on some bites. But flavor-wise, it hit the spot. As for my husband’s sandwich, he liked it, but I am super picky about meatballs and don’t like them in most places. I tried a bite and I thought it could use a lot more flavor — not sure if they add seasoned breadcrumbs or onions to them — but they should if they don’t. I hope they take this feedback into consideration because the service is amazing and should be matched by their food — which is good for Florida Italian, but I would love to see it raise the bar!
