Centanni Italian Restaurant

Excellent! Recommend the wild mushroom tagliatelle. Just go!

This is one of our neighborhood favorites — the food is always great. Tonight, we decided to go in person instead of ordering delivery. We asked to sit outside and they said it would be a 10 minute wait (totally fine) because there was only one server. There were weirdly no chairs outside yet but there were tables. Then five minutes later, the hostess came outside and asked if we would sit inside. The tables were literally steps outside the door. It probably would’ve taken the one server more time to go to the back of the restaurant. The hostess kept trying to convince us to sit inside, but the restaurant had very bad air conditioning and ventilation (and it was tiny) so we told her we’d just take our food to go. She disappeared for five more minutes and came back with menus even though we looked on our phones. She said it would be 20 to 25 minutes. It ended up being more like 45. She was very unapologetic and didn’t offer any way to make it right. We ended up with our food an hour and a half after we asked to sit outside. We should’ve been done with our meal by then.

We will be thinking twice about when we will return.

Lovely restaurant with great food and nice staff; had a very pleasant evening with friends

HUGE Disappointment at Centanni in Burbank. This used to be our go-to Italian spot, but something's gone seriously wrong. The lunchtime parking lot was nearly empty - should've taken that as a sign.

The food was a disaster. My wife's spaghetti was inedible - how do you mess up something so simple? My salad tasted old, with wilted leaves and visible rust spots (see pics). When we brought it to the waiter's attention, he just apologized and took the plates without much concern.

The kicker? He presented us with a bill that included a measly $3 discount for the uneaten spaghetti. It felt like a slap in the face.

Needless to say, we're DONE with this place. Even Olive Garden does it better. AVOID this restaurant at all costs. The quality and service have plummeted.

Very nice place. Very good food.

Excelente food. Wow

Food was delicious. Our server was really good and very friendly. It was my friend‘s first time there, and they loved it and so we shall probably be back

Very good food which we enjoy. The only thing lacking is that during the last two times we had dinner at the restaurant, our server was almost non existent and very slow with taking our order. After waiting for almost ten minutes after being seated and hanging our order taken, our meal arrived before our wine and drinks were served. We would have preferred having our wine first before our dinner arrived. As a large party of five we requested an extra bread basket, but only one arrived with three pieces of bread for our table of five. Our server didn't check to see if we needed anything or how our meal was during last nights dinner. It's possible they were busy with other patrons and forgot about us. Small details like this add up to an uneven experience to what could otherwise be a very enjoyable evening.

It's our go to neighborhood place for the best Italian food, especially the seafood. Great homemade pasta and bread. Good reasonably priced wine list and amazing tiramisu (and other desserts.) Gluten free choices. We can especially recommend the flounder and the risotto with seafood.

Everything was delicious, service was excellent, and my in laws loved celebrating their 52 anniversary at a place that felt like a home cook meal

Today was my first visit to Centanni. I came for lunch with a colleague from work. While the restaurant is in an odd location, (difficult to get to from northbound Victory), i had no problem parking. Business was slow in the restaurant this particular day. Our waiter was friendly and informative. The table had a nice presentation with cloth for table and napkins. The menu pricing seemed reasonable. They even had a few daily special dishes at lunch. I had the Ossobuco with risotto special and my colleague had the Branzino with vegetables special.

I have to say my Ossobuco was and risotto were pretty good. My friend enjoyed his fish. I didn't take pictures since it was a work lunch but I will say the presentation was nice and the portion of food was relatively generous.

Edit: i came back for dinner and had a wonderful meal. This time, I chose only regular menu items. Gnocci al pesto, calamari fritti, and chicken Marsala. All were great and again generous portions. I may have to become a regular.

It’s just ok!

Had a great mid week dinner for 2 experience at Centanni. While I wish there were more beef options on their regular menu, I have to say the chicken marsala i had and the gnocchi al pesto we shared was fantastic. With ambitious eyes we had also ordered the calamari fritti as an appetizer. Everything we ate was very good and the portion size was refreshingly generous. We had to take some food home! We will definitely be returning!

Took my wife here to celebrate an award at work since a friend recommended it and we had never been. It took 20 minutes to get menus, 30 minutes to get our appetizers, and another 20 minutes to get our main course. The hostess asked if we wanted fresh parmesan and when she went to get it, she came out with items to set another table instead of our parmesan. Meanwhile, tables that had been sat after ours, already had their salads. When the waiter brought our iced tea refill, he served it with no ice in the glass. The shrimp was overcooked, the gnocchi ragu tasted like sloppy joes from a man which can, but the garlic bread and New York steak ravioli were enjoyable. The staff must have known we weren't happy so they brought us a piece of cake to share which was decent, but not enough to warrant a return visit. The fastest thing they brought to our table was the check. Overall, the service was subpar and the food was mediocre so I would recommend avoiding this place unless you're a regular they are interested in taking care of.

We drove from the South Bay and Centanni did not disappoint. I had the ravioli, my wife the lasagna, my brother and sister in law had fish. All excellent.
