Our service was stellar. We were informed of the specials and given ample time to decide between courses. Evan stopped by our table with a warm greeting and ensured everything was to our liking. Stacey suggested 2 phenomenal wines that complimented our meals perfectly. We love the patio seating was superb!
This is a lovely restaurant with beautiful atmosphere, especially on the pation. We got there at 4 to take advantage of their happy hour specials but were disappointed that you have to sit at the bar to get them. The prices for beverages are high. $26 for a glass of wine! The food was great. We were disappointed that there was no bread service while enjoying our cocktails. I thought this was customary for a fine restaurant. We didn't realize you have to order it off ther menu.
We had a fantastic dinner at Cento! The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The handmade pasta was absolutely delicious! Cocktails were creative and perfectly balanced. A lovely spot for Birthday, date night or special occasions. Highly recommend!
Overall the service was good the experience was nice. our server was very friendly but i think the food was a bit overpriced for the quality.
We had such high hopes for Cento. The food was good, the service was good but the restaurant really needs a dress code to be a class-act establishment. The official dress code at Cento is listed as Business Casual, with a casual‑elegant dining style. However, while we were dining, others were dressed far more casually than the ambience suggests. The mismatch between the elegant surroundings and the informal attire of guests (cut off jean shorts with holes throughout, ripped jeans, running shorts and a sports bra) diluted our overall experience. It felt like the restaurant's visual and culinary sophistication deserved a more cohesive presentation from diners as well. For a restaurant presenting itself at this level, a gently enforced dress code would help preserve the intended upscale atmosphere. It really took away from our overall experience.
Honestly, this was not our best experience. We had been to Cento at least three times in the past and each time, had great food, drinks, and service. However, if this was the first time we would have been attending Cento, I don't know that we would be interested in coming back. We showed up at about 7:10 for a 7:15 reservation and were told they were currently preparing tables. We were roughly ignored for the next twenty minutes and then sat right next to the front door, with not much communication, at about 7:30. Later than expected, but not the end of the world. In most of our experiences too, the service was always so friendly and conversational. This time, it felt more transactional, with very little small talk or much beyond ordering. We were very excited to take my parents, and left the restaurant feeling as if they didn't get the experience we had in the past. We hope this is a one-off, and that if we re-attend, things improve down the road.
Great service for sure and ambience.
Some of the best food I’ve ever had and that tiramisu is to DIE for!
The bone in veal was life changing. Our server was PASSIONATE, a rarity these days.
It was an outstanding experience from a service perspective and our server Maddie was knowledgeable and attentive. The lasagna was very average especially for the price. I wish the food matched the atmosphere and service. I had the Halibut another visit and it was very dry and overcooked.

My wife and I spent our anniversary there this month and had an amazing time. Flight trouble made us push our reservation back a day, but they found us a table and made the night special. We sat in a booth and shared the carpaccio and arancini. Both were delicious. I had the bolognese and she had the filet with gnocchi in a gorgonzola sauce. Mamma mia it was tasty. Vibes were terrific and I love the stamped C in the clear ice cubes they put in cocktails.
The food was delicious, the ambience was sublime, the drinks were good. It was worth every penny!! We will be coming back.
Fantastic. Joey is a great server.

Disappointing. Buratta wonderful. Pasta drowned in pesto. Risotto too wet. Bread too strong salt and garlic flavor. Meatball no better than Buca. Food was warm, not hot. The dining experience took 1 hr 45 min.
