Food (Endive salad, Lasagna Rotolo and Bucatini and Clams) was delicious and service was excellent, highly recommend, would go back again.

Overall our experience here was fantastic. Our server was excellent (I wish I could remember her name but I'm terrible with names), most of the food was incredible and the ambiance was so lovely. For appetizers we did the focaccia and tomato bread, bruschetta, arancini, and ricotta spread - these were all amazing. We also did a Caesar salad and it was the best I've ever had. It had house made dressing with a hint of lemon, so refreshing and delicious. Our mains were good, but they were not outstanding or incredible. The lasagna rotolo was soft and the sauce was flavorful, however the dish was not very filling as it did not have much meat. If you order this know that it doesn't come prepared as a traditional lasagna, in my opinion Valentina's lasagna is far superior to this dish and we would not order it again. The bolognese was very meat filled however it was very salty which I dislike, not a bad dish but not my preference. We also tried a special dish of the night which was a truffle pasta with mushrooms and it came with a hefty price tag but was delectable and worth it in our opinion. This was our favorite main dish. We ordered dessert to go and Nutella gelato to eat in the restaurant. The gelato was the worse I've ever tasted, it was gritty and had an almond flavor as opposed to hazelnut. We could not eat it and the server removed it from our bill. The tiramisu was great as was the panna cotta. I also tried an amaretto sour with house made sour mix, this drink was delicious and definitely an elevated version of this cocktail. The wait staff was so quick to refill our water, remove dirty dishes and bring out our next dishes. Again, overall our experience here was fantastic but I would try different main dishes next time or stick to appetizers and drinks!

Another 5 star experience at Cento. We are repeat diners - expect it to be on the noisy side on the bar side. It is just the right vibe. The holidays done right.

We love Cameron Mitchell restaurants! This is our second time visiting Cento.  The ambience is beautiful and service was OK... The Piedmont steak was delicious and cooked to perfection! However , the gnocchi that accompanied it was very cold. I ordered the shrimp, penne pasta, and it was inedible. (I love any kind of pasta!) it tasted like a can of Campbell's tomato soup with shrimp! We were celebrating my birthday, so I was disappointed, but luckily, we had an amazing bottle of wine! To be honest, we probably won't return to this Cameron Mitchell restaurant, although we are a big fan of all he does!

This restaurant was on my bucket list and I finally made the road trip from Cleveland. It was the most amazing dining experience in the most beautiful atmosphere. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our evening.

The service and setting were on par with a CM restaurant. Very good! However-The menu selection was not super exciting and the food seemed overly salty and it was visually one dimensional. Nothing exciting that would bring me back.

Amazing experience for our anniversary. Server Zach was awesome, food was phenomenal, great evening!

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.
