La Celeste Constellation

LA CELESTE CONSTELLATION is a home-grown hospitality group interested in multi-disciplinary collaborations, approaching the dining experience as a spatial and collaborative happening created and curated by Maria Rondeau, architect and General Director, in tandem with partner, filmmaker, and Chef JuanMa Calderon, alongside their amazing team. Having hosted pop-up dinner parties at their home in Cambridge for years, in 2018 they open Celeste in Somerville MA as an experimental project. In 2021, in love with the community that has been created around food and their holistic approach to the dining experience, Esmeralda opens in Andover, VT as a return to their home-based model. In 2022, offered an irresistibly beautiful space around the corner from their Cambridge home, La Royal debuts. And coming very soon to the heart of Boston, their latest project, Rosa y Marigold, opens in the Back Bay, offering classic Peruvian flavors with a twist, radiating the love and good vibes that are at the heart of each of their projects.

The name is an ode to Marigold and Rose, the 2022 novel and final work of the pair's late friend and devoted Celeste regular, poet Louise Glück.The Nobel and Pulitzer prize winner’s supportive spirit and command of the written word brought a spark to their restaurant family, and will now live on at Rosa y Marigold.
