Fun + Flavorful Centro Pasta is such a treat. The beet brown-sugar pasta is smooth, slightly sweet, and totally unique—comfort food with a fun twist. The spicy sauce pasta brings the perfect kick without overpowering the dish, just bold and delicious. Their wine selection is spot-on, and the service is friendly, quick, and genuinely happy to guide you toward the best pairings. The ambiance and temperature inside are absolutely divine—cozy, comfortable, and perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. A super fun, flavorful spot that's easy to love. 🍷✨

The pasta dishes, starters, and desserts are all exquisite. I've never had mains, but I'd anticipate those are excellent as well. Just one pasta, get the pomodoro. The corn agnolotti are very special, too. Bring friends and share to taste everything!

First time diner here - patio looked great with nice atmosphere but booked an available res for the counter. Will book for a table for outside next time! Food was great and service was friendly. Our initial greeting took some time but other than that, no complaints! Will return to try more dishes.

Incredible service. Friendly and knowledgeable and welcoming. Food was outrageous. Mussels in red sauce with grilled bread, and of course the spicy pomodorro. Date cake for dessert was beautiful. Cocktails on point. Return visit confirmed.

Cozy, upscale vibe that you could bring your parents to or have a date night or meet a group of friends (it definitely got livelier as the night went on). The hamachi crudo was outstanding. The little gem caesar was a very generously portioned salad that you could easily share, however it was slightly overdressed for my taste. The octopus was the perfect texture and had really good flavor and a good share dish for a starter. Loved the special, a ricotta gnocci with a bolognese sauce but not as savory as I would have preferred and the pastas are European portions so don't try to split unless you are ordering several options. The duck confit was tasty and a good main portion size. I hadn't had duck confit before but i always thought it was more of a saucy dish (the french version at least) but this was crispy and not saucy/soupy at all but had really good flavor and moisture. Love this place and the valet made it convenient!

This was my second time coming to Cento and it was just as good as the first time. Pasta was perfect, and everything else we ordered was amazing, from the wine and cocktails, to the appetizers, salad, branzino and dessert (date cake)! The outdoor ambience is romantic and charming, whether you're on a date night or just out with friends. I'll definitely be back.

We got the beef tartar, octopus, Caesar salad and 7 pastas! It's was fantastic. Delicious!

Cento is a stable. I've been coming here for years and they never miss. You can go wrong with the hamachi, gem salad, octopus, spicy rigatoni, corn agnolotti, and beet pasta

We loved this place. Tiramisu is a must, everything was delicious. Service was excellent just tough to get a reservation. We try to find new spots and this place was a favorite!

Waitress seemed unhappy to be at work, we got the worst service. We were excited to try out the restaurant in celebration of my sisters birthday. Food was mediocre and the experience was just bad from beginning to end.
Absolutely amazing! We got the Spicy Pomodoro which was a little spicy but not too bad at all. There was so much flavor in the dish and was really filling! We also got the Sweet Corn Agnolotti which also had so much flavor and was so unique as well. Service was also incredible, highly recommend!
This place was good. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food was good. My friends and I shared some plates. The octopus was to die for, but at I think the Pastas were not out of this world. I ordered the carbonara and unfortunately, did not exceed expectations. Overall was good. Would come back.

The food is always good but last night some plates were salty and the octopus was gummy. First time I wasn't completely satisfied. I do think the chef is mailing it in since the menu although good has not changed almost at all. Given the chef's talent I think it's time for a redo of the menu.
