I dined at the Cellar for a Christmas dinner, and it was enjoyable but, the staff was friendly, but the restaurant was a bit antiquated, and not necessarily in a good way. It was also a bit over priced for most of the meals. The veal chop was the one dish that I would recommend. That being said, there are... More

What a way to spend our last night in the Daytona area!!! The Cellar far surpassed our expectations!! Do not go expecting your Olive Garden spaghetti and meatballs; but go expecting to be transformed back to Italy!!! The homemade ravioli was outstanding! The avocado with shrimp and crab salad on top was superb!!! I want it everyday for lunch!!! Do... More

Ok, so sometimes a restaurant makes a mistake. It happens to the best restaurants. How they handle the mistake is what matters. The Cellar was fantastic. We had a large group and to our waiter's dismay the kitchen messed up two of our orders. Our waiter was suitably mortified and apologetic, did a great job at communicating the problem and... More

My wife and I had dinner here and the food was excellent. Chef uses very fresh ingredients and does not hide their taste by over seasoning. We had fettucine (made on premisies) and lump crab in basil cream for teh pasta. Entree was snapper with lobster sauce and shrimp...cooked to perfection. GO! More

If ever a town did not deserve a restaurant, it is Daytona Beach which is a big statement considering I own a condo there! However in this town of sports bars and bikes, where chicken wings seem to be the local cullinary extraganza, there lies a hidden jewel worthy of Paris, Chicago or New York. In the summer home of...

THe Cellar is always a wonderful dining experience! My favorites include the sea bass with olives and figs, homemade meat ravioli, and the almost flour less chocolate cake. Plan to spend a couple of hours dining at your leisure the Italian way, where dinner is an experience, not just a meal. More
