Celeste Returns!

I was saddened when I heard that one of my favorite Italian chefs – Paulo Celeste – had closed his namesake restaurant in Murray, Celeste Ristorante. However, I’m thrilled to learn that Paulo and his cooking have arisen anew in the form of the Celeste Bite food truck.

Celeste Bite can normally be found outside the Granato’s Deli in Holladay and features items like Pinza (small personal pizzas), Focaccia with Mortadella, Seared Artichokes, Lasagna, Gnocchi with Gorgonzola, Fusilli Puttanesca, Ravioli stuffed with pear and taleggio, and many more delicious dishes from the molto talented Paulo Celeste. Welcome back to the food scene, Paulo!
