From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us like old friends and walked us right to our table — I instantly had a good feeling, and I was right. Our server was awesome — super friendly, knew the menu inside out, and was on top of everything all night.
The menu is classic Italian but with a twist — way more interesting than your standard North Jersey Italian spot. The ossobuco was fantastic (if I had to nitpick, I’d say the risotto could’ve used a touch less water and a heavier hand with the parm). The clams were fresh and baked to perfection, and my son devoured his ravioli. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely unreal — honestly worth the trip alone.
Safe to say we’ll be regulars!

Nice venue for events and dinner in a classy upscale feel ambiance; service was excellent and owner tailored menu for an event in the side room and greeted guests; valet parking; would recommend the eggplant melanzane & chicken Marsala (phenomenal); pasta with vodka sauce tasted/felt more like sauce from a jar but was okay; 2 stalls in ladies’ bathroom and each had a chair in them

Most delicious food, I had a great birthday dinner at Cenzinos!!
This is a great restaurant. The food is consistently excellent but most importantly, Regina and her entire staff make you feel welcome and at home. The service is outstanding and the personal touches make all of the difference.

I generally don't review anything but I can't resist. Two entrees, one salad, one glass of wine and one dessert = $165.00 + $35 tip! Dover Sole entree = $75? Really?? The least you could do is advertise the price of that dish. It lacked flavor. Certainly not worth $75. My grilled swordfish = $42. Portion was pretty small and also lacked flavor. No salt or pepper shakers at the table. At least the "Affogato" desert was tasty. We won't be back.

For a $100 p/p lunch, the food was lacking. Apps were dry, entrees were what we get in several other lunch specials places. Drinks were low pours. Not rushing back!!

Great restaurant with nice service but, above all, fantastic food. We ordered some starters and a main course. Lamb in white wine sauce - phenomenal.

Great Italian restaurant, great service and atmosphere. But the most important thing is the food - the food we received was a wonderful ray of Italy on this rainy day. Even though there were loud parties nearby, it was great. It's definitely worth visiting.
