A dinner I had to save for, but a meal I won't soon forget. Dinner for 2 cost around 340$ for 4 courses, a cocktail, and wine with dinner, and the quality very much so justified the price.

This was an amazing experience. Alex did wonderful - you can tell she loves her job. From the elegant setting to the exquisite course dinner, I can say confidently that I've never had a dinner this good. Bravo, Cento!

Cento delivered five-star perfection for our special staff dinner. The entire experience, food, service, and ambiance was truly spectacular, exceeding every expectation. The ambiance was warm and sophisticated, setting a superb stage for the evening. The food was a demonstration of culinary mastery; every dish was executed with precision and delighted the palate. Above all, the service was exceptional. Our server, Luke, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, charming, and anticipated our every need, greatly enhancing our dining experience. We must also give a major shout-out to the sommelier. She was highly personable and knowledgeable, guiding us to a fantastic wine selection that complemented our meal perfectly. Cento is the ideal destination for guaranteed excellence. We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate and show our team our appreciation. So good!

This place was a highlight of our trip. The food hit all the right spots and we loved everything we had — most of which was recommended by our server, Carl, who truly defined the experience for us. He spoke so highly of the restaurant, the menu, the company, and the city — this man sold everything about the experience. We were left with an indelible impression that we’re convinced will bring us back here the next time we’re in Columbus. Absolute perfection.

Very impressed. Probably one of my favorite CM restaurants now as far as aesthetics. They are not trying too hard to be something they are not. Every dish we ordered exceeded expectations other than the Bolognese, nothing special there. Burrata, pappardelle and crab risotto were decadent. Truly looking forward to come back and try the rest of the menu standouts.

Wife and I were in town for a wedding and decided to come in early to check out the city. Picked Cento to have to celebrate our anniversary a week late. Food was wonderful, Sommelier was knowledgeable and help us pick a great wine, and our server (Carl) was incredible. Highly recommend the octopus, best salad, and the filet.

We called ahead and put our name on the list for the patio. She gave us an estimated time. I understand it’s an estimate, but we kepr being told by the hostess that a table should be available in 5-10 min, over and over. We waited 45 min past the estimated time and still weren’t seated. We finally left without ever getting a table. The hostesses were very rude throughout, terrible front of restaurant service.
Ok, so I’m not advocating for walking into restaurants last min, but we did call ahead and got the OK to dine. We were on a family trip and looking for a nice dining experience and Cento was amazing! It was absolutely beautiful inside and the food was delicious. A few of a us have some unique food intolerances and allergies, so the menu was limited. However, we were able to find something and the server was diligent communicating our restrictions to the kitchen staff and, back to us, what the kitchen staff could accommodate. We ended up with an absolutely delicious meal!
Our server was Joe and he was so pleasant and attentive. We never felt rushed or burdensome even though we were a little late. We had one chance to dine in German Village, and Joe made our experience wonderful!

My wife and I came here for our anniversary and my birthday, and we’d come back. The atmosphere on the terrace is a solid 10/10. The food was excellent. I ordered a Cuba Libre and it was really good. The coffees at the end were excellent.

I've been to numerous Italian restaurants over the years, but few impressed me the way Cento did. My wife and I came here to celebrate Valentine's Day, and it was an ideal spot to do so. The ambiance was classy and romantic, and the Italian vibes were prevalent, as well.
The tomato focaccia & garlic bread was a great way to start the meal. I didn't necessarily favor one over the other. However, I found the inclusion of the tomato focaccia to be unique. For our appetizers, we ordered arancini and meatballs. The tallegio cheese and summer truffles the arancini were topped with were a nice touch, but it was the creamy sauce that made the dish remarkable. The meatballs were higher quality than average, and tender.
As for our entrees, we got the rigatoni alla vodka and the veal parmesan. The rigatoni was lightly dressed and delightful overall. Having said that, I actually preferred the pasta al forno the veal parmesan came with. This was to die for. It was rich, and the cheese utilized had a sharp undertone. Lastly, the veal parmesan. Not only was it a generous portion, it was one of the best veal dishes I've had. This alone was worth coming here for, especially considering it came with the pasta al forno.
What more can I say? Cento is the only Italian restaurant I've been to in Columbus so far, and it's hard to imagine there's one better. Time will tell!
