"Cento’s indoor/outdoor space in West Adams is certainly bigger than its original pop-up operation, but still maintains the look and feel of a neighborhood wine and pasta bar. There’s a cozy, string-lit front patio if you’re looking for something classically romantic, but the bar inside is even more exciting. Here’s where you’ll get a front-row seat to the pasta show: spicy pomodoro covered in basil, and the iconic beet spaghetti drenched in brown butter, whipped ricotta, and chives. Wine is poured generously—meaning you’ll definitely be best friends with the people next to you by night’s end. " - brant cox
