Even though we had a hiccup with our order and it took a long time for our food to arrive, the staff was up front and very apologetic. They comped us a dessert because of it. Good customer service when there was a problem rates a decent score. Food was excellent.

This is our “go to” restaurant. Always consistent, always good! My husband's favorite is the Risotto del Mare, mine is usually the sole, but tonight I had the steak. Our friend had the chicken piccata. She has a gluten allergy and they are extremely accommodating. Everything was perfectly delicious!

Disappointed
I loved this place - being of Italian heritage and dining with a friend from Naples, we are tough graders. The food was awesome — perfect veal Marsala with Risotto, wonderful eggplant parm. Meatball appetizer was delicious. Gnocchi was excellent. The only issue here is accousfics can be a bit off putting as I think concrete floor and plain walls resonate the sound!!!

Outstanding food and service. We were asked multiple times if we needed anything. Although we had a main server, all the servers kept watch over us and came to us to make sure we didn't need anything and that our glasses were filled with water, etc. The food came hot right from the kitchen. The mixed vegetables were just that. Tasted as if they had just been picked fresh from a garden and were cooked perfectly, not a bit of mush! Everything, even the desserts are made by the restaurant. We loved the ambience, but I didn't want to give the impression that it has a formal atmosphere. It is very casual. Cement floors, no tablecloths. Don't miss this special neighborhood restaurant!

Celebrated a double birthday here and had a great experience. Wait time for the food was a little long but other than that the food was great ! I had a mushroom risotto and it was so good. As an appetizer I had the heirloom tomato with burrata and prosciutto; I normally hate tomatoes but this dish was heavenly !!! To finish off the night they brought out a free tiramisu slice for our birthday guest, best tiramisu I’ve had in a while. Great place and will come back again.

Location : Easy and convenient.Vibe : Cozy and relaxing.Food : Fresh ingredients, Well Seasoned and very yummy.Service : My husband and I went there on Valentine’s Day.We got seated on the back side and the whole entire sections has about 20 tables or more and they only have 2 server running the whole thing.After my server took the ordered he came back twice to let us know the food running late and to get my ice tea refilled ,After that non of us has never seen him since,Many customers tried to get a checks and leave but we’re all been waiting and waiting and then start talking to each other,So one of the customers got up and tell some staff who was at front that all of us had been waiting to get a check and ready to go home.Once we got a check we still waiting for a while until we get our cards back.I totally understand that they are packed but add more servers would help the service go faster.Will we go back? Definitely! But we would try on the not busy day to see what’s going on though.

Location was convenient. Food was great,fresh and very well seasoned. Service could be improved by have more than 2 server to run the whole entire section that has about 20 tables on Valentines Day.Other than that it went well.We will definitely try on the not busy day.

Pros: we were seated and given water immediately. Everyone was very nice. Cons: very short staffed in regards to waiters. Took 20 minutes to take our drink order., then 20 minutes to get it. Ordered appetizers and dinner at same time, due to them being short staffed.Had to ask after another 20+ minutes where our appetizers were. Then received our dinner 10 minutes later, after receiving apps. No one ever came around to see if we wanted another cocktail or even dessert. Had to ask for check and waited 15+ minutes for that. Noticed 6-7 other tables waiting for their check also. Finally gave our card and check to the hostess, so we could leave. I understand being short staffed and busy on Valentines Day, however this was totally unacceptable. We will not return.
This felt like a pop up vs a restaurant IMO. No full bar so you're stuck with cheap wines and variations... Saw a person carrying frozen ravioli from the freezer, so nothing is freshly made about this... The tables were so close together that I could hear EVERY SINGLE THING SAID, right next to us and vice versa... so no privacy @ all... I had to request Parmesan cheese for my pasta versus readily available or brought with my meal... nothing Italian about this place... go to Trader Joe's... it's around the same food for a fraction of the price... Just no
They have the best lasagna hands down. I don't know anywhere else it serves lasagna like this it's amazing it's my favorite I wish I was closer I'd have it much more frequently. They now have lunch specials which is awesome I just got it yesterday the tagliatelle al ragu was delicious.

We've eaten at Centanni's weekly and sometimes more than weekly since before Covid. Chef Marin had a varied and innovative menu suitable for any taste. His putanesca pasta is the best I've ever tasted. The staff is warm and attentive. We feel like family.
This is our third visit in the past six months. We love this place! The food is oustanding and the service is very good. It is a nice restaurant, which we feel very relaxed when we are there.

Such a great find in Italian restaurants. The food never disappoints. Had the duck ravioli special and cavatelli with sausage ragu. Both were amazing! Service provided by Helen and the busboys was excellent. Looking forward to the next visit.
