Cento, an Italian restaurant, came highly recommended, and I was truly happy we were able to get seated despite the restaurant being fully booked. We were a party of three, and the staff accommodated us in what seems to be an additional dining area that has been added on.\n\nThe restaurant itself is lovely, and the food was excellent—you’ll see that reflected in my photos. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was a big drawback. It was very noisy—so loud that my ears were ringing....

Cento has a very classy atmosphere. Open kitchen, well-trained servers. The pasta dishes were all delicious. I especially liked the butternut squash gnocchi. The one disappointment- the cheesecake was burnt on top and very dry.

We LOVE this place! The food never disappoints, the brunch is so incredible (do the boozy brunch if you can!) Our server Jack was super helpful and attentive. Will definitely be coming back!
