The celebrity chef and CIA graduate will open his steakhouse in April in Sullivan County.

Scott Conant, celebrity chef and graduate of the Culinary Institute of America will open an Italian-inspired steakhouse at the new Resorts World Catskills.

The restaurant is called Celliao and will provide guests with an impeccable dining experience in both sophisticated indoor and outdoor settings.

"I went to culinary school upstate, so it’s exciting to return to the Catskills with Cellaio," Scott Conant said in a press release. "I wanted to create an experience where guests could feel transported, not only by the food and the service, but by their surroundings, so it’s a wonderful opportunity to partner with a renowned brand such as Resorts World, and in such a gorgeous setting."

Cellaio will capture guests’ attention with its unparalleled views of the Catskills’ natural beauty and a state-of-the-art kitchen, where chef Conant’s cooking will be on full display.

Conant will oversee all aspects of the restaurant development, including menu creation, and will make frequent appearances at the property.
