Cesar RazuriDecember 24, 2016Intimate setting with an attentive staff, but the real winner are the wine/cheese list and small bites made in the tiniest of a "kitchen" I've ever seen. Truly a Hell's Kitchen hidden gem.
I have this endearing (or annoying) need to try Mac and cheese anywhere I see it on the menu, it rocks here, and start with the crostini- fab selection of wines , great catch up spot with friends!
QQ TFebruary 5, 2015Pig's Ass sandwich! Waiters are knowledgeable about wine: ours recommended an wonderful Malbec that we loved so much, we ended up buying a whole case later!
Ozgur K.March 28, 2017Great but really great neighborhood wine bar. Superb wine menu and out of this world cheese selection. Cozy, friendly and full of with nice people. Amazing service quality is a plus
Alex ShalanApril 8, 2013Casellula Cheese & Wine Cafe is a gem in HK! The staff is friendly, welcoming & they know wine! They're always helpful about what you want to drink. I've never eaten the food, but it looks delicious!
Conrad FonsecaMay 30, 2015Absolutely fantastic. The best sandwich I've ever tasted, followed by the best Mac and Cheese ever, and the Grand Finale: Chocolate Cake like no other! Plus the ambience and staff: perfect!
Santi AmayaDecember 20, 2015Fantastic place for a small group of friends or a date. Come, enjoy good wine, try the peppadews, try the pork buns, try the endive salad--try it all!
Serious EatsMarch 6, 2013Must-Haves: Domestic Darlings cheese flight, chistorras in a blanket, stuffed Peppadew peppers, endive salad, goose breast reuben, mac and cheese, goat cheese hazelnut truffles
Condé Nast TravelerOctober 25, 2016“One of the best cheese-centric wine bars in the city. I usually order a bottle or two, a large cheese board, and the must-have Pig’s Ass Sandwich.” - Edouardo Jordan, chef/owner of Salare in Seattle Read more
Village VoiceOctober 2, 2014The main attraction of this tiny Hell's Kitchen spot is The Pig's Ass Sandwich -- a sandwich so important to the restaurant's brand that Casellula trademarked its name. Read more
Casellula can only be described as a place I'd only take my favorite people. The staff is superlative, the food is incredible and the wines are a cost/value equation. Love, love, love.
Heli L.July 15, 2013Their food has so much thinking and working done before it ends up front of you. Handmade and surprising combinations. Yes, lot of big words and this place is worth of all the praise.
Nancy ChungMay 18, 2016Beef buns are great! The cheese platter with curry brittle is fantastic. The wines are delicious and tasty. Great place to snack and wine
Ashley EderyDecember 2, 2015Fantastic spot. Perfect for a date night. Staff knows what they are doing... Gave them pick the cheeses. They'll come up with amazing pairings.
Vivek PradhanJune 27, 2013Wine goes without saying, and of course the cheese is excellent - but the rest of the food is great too. One of the best and most chill wine bars in the city.
Marie La RueAugust 5, 2022Hk cheese emporium. Excellent wine selection. Charcuterie plate is a standout. Watermelon salad so fresh.
PatrickJune 9, 2015Really nice place to begin or end a night out with a small group. Everything on the menu is fantastic and the people are great.
Todd HeughensDecember 6, 2018Exceptional selection of wines by the glass and truly delicious small plates to accompany them (rather than the other way around). ; )
ValtteriJuly 15, 2013+1 for the Pig's Ass Sandwhich. The aioli is simply wonderful! The cheeses come with really ingenious flavor combos with a lot of layers. These guys are craftsmen!
Nancy HeOctober 15, 2014Great date place, small and cozy. Great wines and good food. Recommend Spanish white anchovy, frisee salad and pig's ass sandwich.
Nicolette RomeroApril 10, 2015Obsessed with the peppadew peppers. Don't leave without trying them! Great wine, but weak pours. Come on guys...fill her up! 🍷🍷
Amazing selection of wines and wonderful small plates, including cheese flights. Wonderful atmosphere and super friendly staff! Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Gus BorrmannSeptember 20, 2015Pig's Ass Sandwich needs to be eaten with the sauce: it's fantastic! Chocolate Cake is a marvelous surprise - extra smooth, delicate taste.
Louis BruscoFebruary 16, 2012Casellula offers a huge selection of fromage to pair with their varied wine list. There are a few curated tasting boards, but mix-and-match is the way to go.
Very good wine and cheese selection. The grilled cheese sandwich with ham is delicious
New York HabitatNovember 18, 2011Get the pig's ass sandwich. Thrown off by the name? Don't be. Fiscalini cheddar, fol epi, pickles, and chipotle aioli. Think of it as a really good twist on a cuban sandwich.
Carlos VillelaOctober 1, 2016Excellent for dates! Custom cheese and wine pairings and meticulous staff, without breaking the bank.- Serious EatsAugust 24, 2011Pig's Ass Sandwich: Thin shavings of Fiscalini Cheddar, nutty Fol Epi, and, er, pig's ass, with house-made bread and butter pickles whose bright crunch lightens each bite. Read more
Chocolate cake. CHOCOLATE CAKE. And everything else. Let them recommend wine, cheese and accompaniments. They're experts.
Love this place! Chicken liver mousse <3 awesome wine list 🍷
Angelina ZeppieriJune 26, 2022Big selection of cheeses and pairing options for wine. The grilled cheese was delicious too
Adam FalksonJanuary 26, 2013They offer very unique pairings with their cheeses. Stuff like white chocolate and green tea fudge and marshmallows with beet dust. Delicious.
Krista MilanoMay 5, 2013Intimate little spot that has an amazing spread of charcuterie and cheeses that complement their wines so seamlessly - perfetto!
Joanna FlammJanuary 24, 2011Each cheese comes with its own special garnish; everything from apple chutney to cardamom popcorn. Let Demetri choose your flight of cheeses and settle in with a glass of wine.
Gabriel ComotiNovember 5, 2014Great cheese and wine selection. Try the pig ass and the brisket sandwich
Jen DonatoMarch 20, 2019cheese flights, pig’s aaaaaasssssss sandwich, all the wines and if you like orange wine you’re in luck
Bridget GaelAugust 26, 2022Cute, hidden & quiet wine and cheese bar off the theatre district w funky vibes
Brittney GilbertNovember 19, 2010Unique accompaniments, fantastic selection with choices I don't usually see (chance to try new cheese!) and the servers are as sweet as pie. Chocolate with a bleu? Never knew til here.
Colin LeeMarch 22, 2016Came here for v-day. Cheese plate selection is great. Seats are a bit limited; but bar seating is available
BravoNovember 22, 2010When you visit this place you must get the pig ass sandwich. The cheese list is one of the best and open late night for after work snacks. -Ed Cotton, Top Chef
Reagan WilliamsFebruary 3, 2015Amazing wines. Great service. Don't forget to try the Ultimate White Wine.
The chocolate cake is to die for! Anywhere else 3 day old cake would sound horrible but with organic cream it is ridiculously amazing!
Daniel HakimiAugust 28, 2015Pear cider, and a soft French cheese they serve with pine nuts and hummus.
This place is my jam. They carefully pair their cheese with a variety of accompaniments. No boring quince paste here. The restaurant is really tiny and tables are reserved for those ordering food.
Michelle SOctober 25, 2011The pig's ass sandwich is ridiculously delicious - once you get past the unappetizing name. Think of it as an upscale Cuban with pork shoulder and no ham.
Penn AppetitJuly 23, 2012Order the popcorn to start. You cannot go wrong with the cheeses. They each come with their own accompaniment.
