Cento

Amazing experience from start to finish. It was my second time dining at Cento, first time inside though. It’s really dark, intimate, and cozy - with plenty of corner seats for Tony Soprano. The service was incredible, aware, and fluid with service support constantly refilling waters and clearing tables. The food was all phenomenal, especially the Scarpinocc! I can’t wait to go back, thanks for everything!

We went for Valentine’s Day and it was very nice! Definitely perfect for a special occasion. We got the bread, king crab pasta, and lasagna rotolo. We finished with the tiramisu. Everything was great and service was exceptional. They also gave us some chocolates for Valentine’s Day. I thought they could’ve had more options as far as cocktails but actually super enjoyed the margarita. We had a great time!

The decor, music, and overall ambiance is very special, intriguing, and vibrant. Really put together with intention. The Caesar salad was fresh, crunchy, and authentically good. The bolognese was delicious, but a small portion. The bread and butter service could have been offered sooner at the beginning of the meal as is customary at fine dining restaurants rather than later in the meal. Tiramisu was perfectly Italiano style in a slightly small goblet. Espresso was excellent. Overall, a great experience, but it is expensive in my opinion and service was a little short of expectations.

My GF and I came here for our 2-year anniversary last night. We were seated in a circular booth that had a little card that said “Happy Anniversary” on it. Atmosphere here is top notch, real candle lighting and dimmed lights. It has a very cool old school vibe to it. Our waitress was Kathryn and she did a fantastic job at answering our questions and informing us on the menu features. She was very attentive to not only our table but her other ones as well, and she made sure our waters/wine glasses were always full. We got Burrata for an appetizer and it was the best we’ve had. Highly recommend it! I got the filet mignon and it’s probably top 3 best steaks I’ve ever had, cooked to exactly my liking, well seasoned and came with potato gnocchi and an amazing Gorgonzola cream. Desert was on the house due to it being our anniversary which was a nice warming touch. Definitely will be coming back here to eat at some point.

Belated Valentine’s dinner date and WOW is all I can say! 😍🍝✨ We started by splitting the Caesar salad (perfectly crisp, perfectly dressed — no notes). My spouse ordered the Bolognese, rich and comforting in the best way, and I had the TRUFFLE GIRELLE… and let me tell you — creamy, earthy, indulgent perfection. Every bite felt like a hug. Between the food, the service, and the cozy romantic ambiance, this spot is an easy 10/10! Date night approved ✔️ Already planning our next visit.

Everything was beyond fantastic. This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants. It's not only beautiful inside but the food and the service match. I feel like that can be hard to find because restaurants like to give you decor but then lack in food and service. This place has it all. I would reccomend the filet, the king crab tagliatelle(a special), the scarpinoc(we ate it as an appetizer), the whipped ricotta, the beef carpaccio, the yellow fin, and the whipped ricotta. Drinks didn't miss either. 100% worth a try.

Allie was our server, she was incredible. Great knowledge of the menu, super bubbly, and the highlight of our meal. Now the food, I don’t think you could go wrong with anything here. This is now my all time favorite restaurant and we will be here again!!

We went to Cento for an anniversary Meal this afternoon. The Atmosphere is fantastic, the lighting and interior design is incredible. Service by Joey was outstanding The Food and Drinks were excellent! definitely an anniversary for us to remember! Thank you to the staff, Servers and chefs for a great experience!

Upon entry, this place was warm, inviting and somewhat romantic. The food was absolutely delicious We enjoyed a few dishes and some amazing wines paired with a Somalian for guidance The waiter we had was very engaging and efficient. He was very knowledgeable in the flavors and offered his favorites as well. I would definitely come back here!! Especially during the holiday since the decor is so warm and very present I would also like to stop here in the summer to enjoy the outside patio and bar. We were sat in the winterized version of the patio which was perfectly heated and comfortable. I was even offered a blanket while we dined . Just a lovely quaint, cutie place. Must GO and I can't wait to taste the whole menu!!! Bon appetite

Service: My waiter Zach was fantastic. Friendly talkative guy enjoying his job and the food that he is tasked to bring out. My experience was incredible not only because of the meal but because of the intersections throughout. Water was always kept full and recommendations were flawless. Ambaince/Atmosphere: dimly lit and truly Beautiful space. The bar area is stunning and the main dining room is even better. Quiet and truly romantic. This would be a phenomenal spot for a date night if Italian is the food of choice. Truly beautiful. Food: Scarpinocc was incredible. This is a very rich and butter dish so I'd be careful ordering if that isn't your taste. If you don't mind that and prefer strong rich flavors in your food. This may be one of the best pasta dishes you've ever had. This dish was featured in Forbes and for good reason. I have to insist on this order. Piedmontese Filet Mignon was incredible. The filet is essentially the Italian Wagyu type of cut. Tender, juicy, and incredible flavorful. Paired with a gnocchi that is excellent. Squishy, soft, with a subtle chew just as a gnocchi be prepared. The sauce is incredible. Absolutely delicious and you won't want to let it go to waste. I have to insist on this order. Tomato Focaccia and Garlic Bread was great. The garlic bread was crispy, heavily flavored, and cheesy. It was a perfect mop up for the delicious sauce found in the filet mignon dish. The tomato focaccia was soft and topped with a delicious in house made tomato marinara sauce. This honestly beat the garlic bread for me and was an even better mop for that sauce. I'd recommend. Chocolate Hazelnut Torte was delicious. Smooth, creamy, and flavorful. This torte was decadent, but not overly rich being cut with those crunchy hazelnuts. The chocolate praline mouse was fantastic. This is one of the better chocolate desserts I've had. I'd highly recommend.

My first visit here. Excellent restaurant in German Village. Lovely ambiance, and very good service. During this visit, we shared the Beef Carpaccio, which was a bit on the heavy side, but tasty. For the main meal, I wanted something light, so I got the black cod. Oh, man, it was outstanding with a great broth, Oh, and they also make a mean dirty martini. A bit on the pricey side but definitely worth a return visit.

Met a a group of friends for a little birthday gathering. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. We ordered a bunch of apps to share and some main dishes and pastas. This place is the whole experience and the atmosphere is eloquent and inviting. It was lovely evening out and can't wait to come back.

Really really amazing experience!! From the start when you walk in you already know it's a beautiful vibe, the ivy covered walkway is so cute and the patio is awesome. Once inside, it's a very intimate and classy vibe, you definitely feel like you are in for a fancy experience. Service was fantastic, got a really good wine suggestion, table-side presentation, and just felt really well taken care of. Plus everything was very well-paced course-wise! Food was all incredible. We got the burrata, the bread basket, the bolognese and the spicy rigatoni. Everything was fabulous. Burrata was creamy and delicious and the tableside presentation made it feel extra special. The bread that came with that was so so so good, almost preferred it to the garlic bread in the basket. The tomato focaccia was great and tasted like pizza bread. Both pastas were fantastic, I ordered the rigatoni and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Wish I had asked for red pepper flakes to add but the sauce was so silky and flavorful and there were generous pieces of shrimp in it as well! Tasted some of the bolognese, loved the cavatelli noodles and the meat was very tender and rich. We also ordered a meatball which was good, not the best one I've ever had but very delicious, marinara was almost a little sweet but in a good way. Leftover pasta tasted just as good at midnight after going out for Halloween the next night too haha, the true hallmark of quality! Absolutely loved it for a special occasion and would love to go back!

Cento is easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in German Village. From start to finish, everything was executed with style and warmth. The martinis were spot-on -- perfectly chilled, balanced, and the kind you sip slowly because you don't want them to end. The wait staff couldn't have been friendlier, striking that rare balance of professional and genuinely welcoming. They kept the evening flowing without ever feeling rushed. Food-wise, it was one showstopper after another. The halibut was absolute perfection -- flaky, tender, and seasoned just right. The round lasagna towers were not only beautiful to look at but incredibly rich and comforting. The chicken was cooked exactly as it should be: juicy on the inside with that perfect finish. And then came dessert... all of them amazing. The affogato poured tableside added a little bit of ceremony to the sweetness, and the pannacotta made for the perfect birthday surprise -- light, creamy, and elegant. Cento delivers on every level: atmosphere, service, food, and those little special touches that turn dinner into a celebration. A true gem in German Village, and one I can't wait to revisit.

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!

Cento is definitely one of the top Italian restaurants to visit in Columbus. The building Cento is located in has a history dating back to 1904. They restored the restaurant to a cozy contemporary place. Tucked in German Village will you find Cento. Valet is available along with street parking around with a small walk. The restaurant has an indoor dining area and a semi enclosed patio, both with bar seating. Inside you will also find high top, low top and booth seating. I sat at a semi circle booth near the bar inside. It was kinda noisy. Lighting was minimal for dinner with a few candles lit around and a small table light giving a romantic and cozy vibe. Let me start by saying I am reducing the alcohol I am consuming and its been a struggle when going out with friends and the feeling of missing out. Cento made it an amazing experience for me by providing a variety of spritless options. A whole backside of a menu worth of options. I was able to order a few drinks that drank like a cocktail and made me feel inclusive at tonight's dinner with friends. I didn't even miss the alcohol. If your sober curious, this is the place for you. Okay, the food and tonight's highlight. From start to finish our table had the Fritto Misto, the main course of the daily specials, King Crab Tagliatelle and dessert, Chocolate Hazelnut Torte. The portions were not extravagant but the flavor did not miss. Every bit was savored and the quality of the ingredients shined. Perfectly executed. The service was great from the initial greeting at the host stand, the bartenders at the bar and our server. We can't wait to come back to experience Cento again.

Location/Restaurant; Located in German Village, parking could be tricky, Valet if available. This place is the cutest inside and outside, the patio was a hit when we walked in but we opted to celebrate Fathers Day inside. I get Mothers Day and Fathers Day to celebrate. Inside is super cute with the portraits down to the little lamps. Food; If you love Artichoke hearts, you will fall in love with the their appetizer, Holy Delicious, crisp and tasty, the sauce the hearts lay on was scrumptious. Also, Yummy is the whipped ricotta. My main entrée was the rolled lasagna, and may be one of the best lasagna versions I have had. The pasta was not to thick and melted in your mouth. I did order the Martini, which was perfect. Service; Our service was top notch, our server Theresa R. was great.

Beautiful Italian restaurant, that leaves you hungry for more...but not in the good way. This is one of those dining experiences, where your Italian grandma would gasp knowing you left hungry. Last night we had our first dining experience at Cento. First off, Alex was excellent at delivering a wonderful experience. She was attentive, helpful, personable and great example of top service. No complaints in terms of service, which is a nice thing compared to other restaurants these days. The restaurant is beautiful. Unfortunately, we were seated on a high top in the corner of the restaurant. It felt a little out of place from the rest of the restaurant. It was dark while the rest of the restaurant had a warm glow. This table really put a damper on the experience. We got an appetizer for the table, and it came out on a tiny plate. It was enough for us to have a couple of bites. Not really what I expected. It was good, but it was just tiny. One of my friends got the Carbonara, while the rest of us got the short ribs bolognese pasta. Everyone thought their dish was delicious. Unfortunately, we also all said we were starved after dinner. For the price, we didn't feel the value was there. It was very skimpy for a pasta dish. We literally considered going someplace else after dinner to get something else to eat. This restaurant is definitely on the high end. An appetizer, salad and entree will set you back some $$$$. This is a special occasion restaurant. We all agreed Marcella's is a better Italian restaurant for the money. This new edition to the Cameron Mitchell dynasty has potential. Our experience would have been so much better if we had been seated at one of the better table options. We also feel there could have been a better value in an appetizer and pasta dish. If you're going to charge these prices, we shouldn't leave still hungry.

I'm gonna be honest, if you've gotta pay $8 for a TINY basket of bread on a meal that's already gonna be $250+.... It sets a tone. It says, we want your money. We want all of it, everything we do from here on out, is to get your money. Upon entering the establishment you're greeted with a tacky fake wall of plants that can be found at any tourist trap in south beach, or scam Dubai chocolate popup. Patio looked nice, but my wife and I had requested a booth for our anniversary. The back dining room was cozy and lit with candles though out. It's a restaurant. Our server was very energetic... we waited longer than we should have a couple times and he forgot to put in a dessert order. Hated his fake laugh. Still tipped $60 cause my wife is nicer than me. Beef carpaccio tasted like the truffle oil it was drowned in, which wasn't terrible after 2 OldFashions. The $8 bread was 5 slices of soft oil soaked bread dipped in Campbell's tomato soup and 5 slices of yesterday's garlic bread they left in the air fryer too long. Now I will say the Veal Parm was up to par with actual good food. Comes on a bone, breaded and fried. I substituted the pasta it came with for their signature spatto handmade ravioli. It was NOT good. Bland. I've had better pasta out of an MRE bag while sitting in Iraq. I honestly get the impression this restaurant was put here to show off how good Cameron has gotten at making money off stupid rich people with disposable income. It feels like a backhanded insult to actually caring about the customer. This place is a tribute to his genius and business model. How to package a fine dining experience, and make the most money possible 101. Congratulations sir, you're a master at what you do. Not worth the hype. Novella, Claudianas, Vittoria, even his own restaurant Valentina's does it better.

This Italian restaurant is located in the heart of German Village, and this might be my favorite CMH restaurant now. I loved the ambiance, especially the lovely patio. I dined indoors, but I definitely would love to sit outside next time. The music volume could be a little lower though. The service was excellent, and our server passionately walked us through the menu and shared some of her favorites. The menu was quite concise, with a few options in each section (starter, salad, pasta, main entree, and desserts). Every dish we got was delicious and had a good amount of portion. My top favorites were: Prosciutto & melon Beef carpaccio Squash blossoms Caponata Scarpinocc Tiramisu

First of all, this place is an EXPERIENCE. Valet parking in front. Gorgeous entrance and patio. Celebrating a special occasion is a great reason to go, not a casual place. Our server was Alex, who was great. I got the banana daquari which was very strong, the lime juice in it sorta took over. We both had the rolled lasagna, which was great. The portions are not huge and you likely will not have left overs, which is a little sad for $40 a plate but again, this is for an upscale experience. I would love to come back sometime and try some other things on the menu, like the whipped ricotta.

They set the stage with a gorgeous entrance and beautiful decor throughout, the patio is awesome with a bar and fireplace, it's a great spot in Germain village. The staff welcomed us with a warm smile and sat us 10 min later (we snuck into the bar for a glass of wine while we waited) now the show stopped, food!!! It was absolutely delicious, we started with the Burrata and beef Carpaccio... WOW, the BC was drizzled with truffle oil and some truffle shavings which just complimented it perfectly. I had the Veal Marsala special that was like a tender filet, with mini "full" mushrooms in a Marsala sauce that set the dish off accompanied by a potato soufflé that consisted of super thinly sliced potato stacked with a little something between each layer and was fantastic. The lasagna was great, we had no complaints at all, perfect evening with perfect service and great food. Side note the bread that comes with the burrata stole the show, thick, the perfect crunch and texture... it was so tasty!!

I absolutely love this place. I eat here every time I come to Columbus. First, the location is great - in the heart of German Village. The ambiance is great - whether it's cold out and you eat inside or warm and eat out - it's classy and cool. The service is always top notch with nice and attentive staff. The food is the best part. The pastas are all amazing and the meats delicious. My last visit I had the endive salad with hazelnuts - amazing and the pork chop with peppers on it. Mind blowing. 10/10.

First of all, the service is top notch. Luke our waiter was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and showed up right at the perfect times. The inside and the patio is beautiful. So very inviting. It's dark and warm yet open and lovely. The thing Cameron Mitchell always does right is the gluten free menu and he does not disappoint here. If you have celiac- you honestly cannot beat his restaurants. I'd say the food last night was a 4/5, with the exception of the artichokes which were a 5/5 I had the scallops with risotto. Good, very good but not great. As a "special" I expected a little more. Again, very good. Most certainly will go back. Definitely want to hit happy hour at the bar.

We went in for a birthday dinner on a Tuesday. I made a reservation to be safe (5pm) but I think we could have gotten in without one. The patio is beautiful and they do a great job cooling on warm days so it is still comfortable to sit at. It definitely rivals the Lindeys patio in terms of CBus patio vibes! The service was top notch - our waitress was helpful and attentive but didn't overwhelm us. And the food was incredible. We got the bread for an appetizer- it was the most average thing we ate but still delicious. I got a specialty pasta that included their braised short rib (incredible and so tender- a must!!) and a mushroom sauce, and my boyfriend opted for their carbonara which was also delicious! Drinks and dessert were top notch too. Overall an incredible meal - it is on the pricier side (and no HH at non bar seating) but a lovely celebration spot for us!

Super sexy.... We made a reservation for a Thursday night and it was a good thing we did because it was packed if got a rather large outdoor area, beautiful dark and romantic restaurant on the inside . This was just a girls trip, but we were feeling sexy . The food is outstanding as well as the service . I had the whole Ranzino with seared smashed potatoes underneath, and it was divine. I've got an amazing cocktail menu as well as beautiful wines . The music was on point. It can be casual or you can dress up a bit . They have valet parking and also street parking.. I recommend you Uber and have yourself a great time .

Amazing service and amazing food. This is a gem in Columbus. Highly recommend and will be back!

Another successful visit to Cento, and I finally got to sit under the red chandeliers. It provided a comfy and cool spot to enjoy dinner and friends. As always, the service was friendly, professional and fast! Started with the squash blossoms, burrata and bread basket - all of which were amazing. When squash blossoms are in season, it's a must order! The special was a cavatappi pasta with Italian sausage and a light cream sauce. Truly sensational.

What an experience! Went here for my birthday and they made me feel so special. The care and attention of the staff is immaculate. There is some street parking around the restaurant. The entrance is so cute with all the greenery and they do have a patio, but we sat inside in their dining room. The tomato & garlic bread is to die for. This is complimentary with your meal. The cherry on top is the big Parmesan cheese wheel sitting in the dining room. It comes with your bread and you can taste the quality of the cheese. We ordered a Caesar salad to split. It's a house made Caesar dressing with anchovies in it, but you don't taste anchovies at all. The lettuce was so crisp, but I would've preferred if the lettuce was already cut up because it took some time to cut up the leaves. For our entrees we got the veal parm and filet mignon over a bed of potato gnocchi. The veal parm could feed 3-4 people I'm not even exaggerating. It's pricey, but delish. The steak was probably some of the most tender steak I've ever eaten. Perfectly season. We ended with the panna cotta which was on the house for my birthday. It came with raspberry sorbet and some fresh fruit which was a perfect balance.

Such nice service! Squash blossoms are a must, and the prosciutto and fig appetizer is fantastic as well.

We've been to Cento a handful of times now, and it's quickly become one of our favorite spots. The outdoor patio is such a vibe in the summer, the service is always on point, and the food keeps us coming back! Our server Zach was awesome--super personable and attentive (and congrats to him on almost 2 years at Cento!). We started with the peach + arugula salad (the toasted hazelnuts were such a nice touch), then I had the branzino and my husband had the king crab tagliatelle--both were amazing. We wrapped things up with panna cotta and espresso martinis, which was the perfect ending. Thank you Cento for such a great night--it was the best way to kick off our 20th anniversary.

We went here for my brother's birthday, and it was an amazing experience. The pasta dishes and appetizers were absolutely delicious, and the tiramisu was some of the best I've ever had. The service was excellent--our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant is beautiful, making it perfect for a nice dinner or special celebration!

I recently visited Cento for my parent's 10 year wedding anniversary and everything was amazing, it far exceeded all my expectations. Everything from the service to the food to the atmosphere was amazing. We sat outside and despite it being 85 degrees, the outside patio was shaded with plenty of fans to keep the area cool. Our waitress Hailey was sensational, she was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and friendly. I had the pasta special with the shrimp, the burrata, and the daiquiri to drink and it was all amazing. We cannot wait to dine here again!

While the server did their best to manage a clearly busy and chaotic night due to the German Village Holiday Lights, the meal was overshadowed by slow service, with multiple courses arriving late and some questionable seafood. We also experienced a 30-minute delay for a 5pm reservation which wouldn't have been so bad if the rest of the night went more smoothly. The meal began on a promising note with a complimentary bread basket. The soft focaccia was a delight, and the crispy, spicier bread added a unique touch. Next, came daily featured appetizer--a rolled pasta with ricotta, parmesan, and lemon in a tomato sauce. While the dish was well-balanced and flavorful (we especially loved the sauce), it arrived late, continuing the pattern of service issues. The Caesar salad that followed was a highlight for me--fresh, well-dressed, and something I would definitely order again. My main course, Rigatoni with a side of meatballs, was another win. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce rich, and the meatballs flavorful. However, my friends' main course--a seafood special featuring lobster, scallops, and mussels--was a disaster. The mussels were inconsistent, with some tasting off and others outright bad, carrying a strong ammonia flavor. Some of the scallops tasted gritty and I worry the seafood should've been cleaned and inspected more thoroughly. Unfortunately, this resulted in one of my friends falling ill during and after the meal. Although our server offered to have the dish comped, my friend (who is overly nice and polite) said it was okay since the other food had no issues. Still, I believe the kitchen and manager should have proactively addressed the situation more thoroughly. On a positive note, our server was a standout amidst the chaos. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, they did everything possible to make the experience better. The drinks were another highlight--I especially enjoyed the espresso martini, which had a bold, rich coffee flavor that set it apart from others I've tried. While there were bright spots, the delays, the inconsistent and honestly unsafe seafood dish, and the lack of proactive management leave me hesitant to recommend Cento. With some operational improvements, the restaurant could live up to its potential, but for now, it's a mixed experience at best.

Wow! First impressions are lasting. The place is drop dead gorgeous the bar is small and comfy. The servers are wonderful and attentive. I highly recommend The outdoor bar or indoors as well. The food is off the charts wonderful.

Cento is a special place that I am glad is open in Columbus. Fittingly the 100th restaurant Cameron Michell has opened, Cento very well represents the hospitality and food you can expect from a restaurant from such an experienced team in the industry. From the beautiful archway to enter the restaurant to the welcoming dining rooms and patio, the restaurant is quite well appointed and the service is spectacular given two waiters focused on each table, ensuring you will never be long without a refill of a drink or otherwise. I must admit, that I will need to revise my review in my next return to the restaurant as I wasn't able to eat too much given my stomach took a turn for the worst partway through the meal (had nothing to do with the restaurant as I had felt something a bit earlier in the day, but as a typical guy, decided to brush it off and figured I'd make it through dinner). However, my wife was pleased with the food that she ate and said she would be very happy to return to ensure I could get the full experience as well. It's always the small elements of service that I think are important and what I really wanted to share was that Zach, our waiter, after learning of my stomach discomfort, proceeded to bring me a ginger ale and wishing us the best. It is these thoughtful gestures that I believe really show the character of people in the service industry. It would be easy to just do what is asked, but to do what is not asked for the benefit of your customers, is why I believe Cento will be a place that we will return to. I look foward to the next time I can return to Cento and fully enjoy the restaurant.

After our first visit, this is in our top 3 Columbus restaurants. As per usual, Cameron Mitchell delivers an excellent experience from start to finish! The service is on point. We got a couple of apps, pasta and a salad, then finished with espresso martinis. It's quiet and dim in some areas and brighter and more lively in others - we noted in the reservation that we wanted a quiet area and they delivered!

We came here for a special occasion. This place was BUSY on a Saturday at around 9am- which was surprising and a good sign. The environment felt classy, upscale, yet fun and youthful. We were able to get a spot the beat in 15 mins (although the wait for a table was 45 mins). The service was top tier. We ordered pesto and carbonara pasta. The food was delicious and you could tell the ingredients were legit from how the food tasted. Although the food was delicious, we were surprised at the smaller portions for pasta. I'm assuming the pricey pasta was due to the type of ingredients used? With that being said, I expect to have a bit more pasta to justify the price. All in all- this place is great! Just expect smaller proportions and high quality ingredients.

Phenomenal dining experience!! Starting at the beginning, Cento was able to accommodate us at an earlier time than our initial reservation- very kind of them to make the same day change! Our initial reservation was for 8pm, and we wanted 7:30). The service was incredible. The wait staff made the experience above and beyond for us- Riley was our captain and she definitely had excellent knowledge of the menu and was very helpful with our questions! First course - the complementary bread, not pictured, but 10/10 delicious. Didn't need butter or sauce, the flavors were exquisite. Second course - appetizers. We chose the whipped ricotta and squash blooms. Great portions for 2 people! The flavors were fantastic and we were so happy with our choices. Third- entree. I picked the special, short rib agnolotti. Absolutely divine. The beef was perfectly cooked, the pasta had amazing flavor...not enough great things to say about it. I finished the whole dish after all of the other food we ate! Dessert - affogato, which they were able to accommodate decaf espresso for us! High quality espresso and high quality vanilla Gelato. It really hit the spot. We were too full for our other dessert at this point...tiramisu and chocolate hazelnut torte. The tiramisu was perfect (held up well to go) and the torte was delicious as well, all though very rich! I really liked the ambiance as well, easy to talk to my friend the whole evening and good lighting. Hoping to sit in the patio next time! To dine or not to dine? Without hesitation!! I will absolutely be returning, hopefully soon!

Amazing !! First of all, the place is stunning !! There is a stunning red chandelier in the main entrance that catches your eye. Our server and her assistant were fabulous! They made sure we had everything we needed and made sure to offer suggestions and make recommendations. The food itself was spectacular and came out at the perfect time. The star of the show had to be the side Ceaser salad which is made table side and the chicken saltimbocca. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice dinner out !!

Such a cute place for date night or a girls night out! Loved the outdoor patio area! It's like a little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Can't wait to go back!

Wow finally made it to Cento and it did not disappoint! The staff really turns your meal into an experience - our team spent so much time talking to us, walking us through the menu, going through some of the fun facts (like the cheese wheel!) and even taking some pictures for us at the end of the night. We closed the place down with a 9:30pm reservation on a Friday night. The restaurant was only half full at that time so definitely worth the later meal. I would still recommend making a reservation though. I can't wait to go back when the patio is open, it'll double the space of the restaurant! Loved every dish I ordered, I started with the Whipped Ricotta, had the Scarpinocc as my main course and added a meatball and finished with the Chocolate Hazelnut Tort. The red sauce of the meatball doesn't really go with the Scapinocc's lemon flavor, but it was worth it, the meatball is delicious!!! Overall such a good experience, a little on the expensive side for what you get, but it's definitely worth it for a special occasion or a treat yourself meal!

Wow!! Step into life on the Mediterranean Sea! From atmosphere to cocktails to food! Caitlyn and Chastity were our servers and took amazing care of us. We felt like we were on the patio in Italy. Highly recommend the refreshing Bronzini - it is layered with flavor! And the squash blossoms were absolutely delicious with ricotta cheese. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink.... there is no better time than right now to be happy.

We came to cento drinks and apps. My drink was sooo good and we got Burrata for the appetizer. It has a "tomato pesto" and then some fresh tomatoes. The pesto is the hit by a mile. It's so good, but the sourdough it's served with was hard as a rock and completely tore up my mouth. The complimentary bread was a focaccia with a tomato type topping, by far the best bite and then a spicy garlic garlic bread which was also good. I don't know if I'm singled out here, but I don't feel like this place justified the cost. I don't mind spending a pretty dollar for something nice and delicious, but I just feel like if all the other restaurants of his have the same things what is making this one special? Is it that it's more expensive? Maybe I'm off base. I don't know that I would return. It's giving me the similar lack luster to Valentina's. And ultimately we decided not to stay for more than a drink and app

This is a new Cameron Mitchell restaurant in German village and my first time there . My daughter and I went there to check it out . The patio was beautiful , one of the best I have seen. It was covered with plants and a huge fountain . In a separate area they have a fire place and tables. It's a cozy area. We had the artichoke hearts for an appetizer which had a very nice presentation. They were really good but I was expecting more hearts and not so much the leaves tho they were eatable and good . But for 22 00 I would of like more hearts. I had the chicken saltimbocca which was good and my daughter had the l carbonara which she really liked . We had the chocolate hazelnut torte for dessert. Our server was very nice and attentive . The inside of the dining room is very classy. The place is beautiful but very expensive

Exceptional food, beautiful outdoor patio area with a fountain that we were able to sit next to, indoor equally as well decorated and upscale, with a touch of classic/timeless design. My boyfriend and I had an amazing, knowledgeable, kind, and personable server named Alex and she made our meal memorable. We will return!

SERVICE: It was impeccable. The waiters were attentive and walked us through the menu (more than once in fact) and were prompt in bringing everything, refilling drinks, etc. ATMOSPHERE: It's a very cute restaurant. It's small so I recommend a reservation. We sat in the private room by the kitchen, which was very nice for a group of six people. FOOD: While everything was tasty, I would say it was a little expensive for what it is. I would recommend it as a place to try at least once though. We ordered: 2 artichokes hearts, tuna app, burrata, Caesar salad, prosciutto and figs, two bottles of wine, and six entrees and it was about $600 dollars.

The food was excellent. The burrata was very good and the toast that came with it was delicious. The artichokes were just ok, we wouldn't get them again. We ordered a different pasta than what came out for us and we forgot until we were enjoying it so we didn't send it back. The pork chop was excellent, I'd go back just for that again. I love the agradolce. Ambiance is very cool, we really loved the vibe and service was highly attentive despite the pasta mistake. We will go back for sure.

Had this place back when it opened and absolutely loved everything about it. I went back last week and everything was still great but I was extremely disappointed that they are now charging $8 for the bread basket that used to be free and they became much more stingy with the Parmesan cheese. I understand the place is going for a more "high end feel" but when you spend $200 on a dinner for 2 and they change you extra for little things it feels like they're being cheap with you on things and feels the opposite of classy. Would have been 5 stars if it wasn't for this greedy change.

Cento came into with a happy hour so you know I had to try it. It's even on Saturdays and Sundays! We came right as they opened and had no issue with a seat. Their outside bar only has 6 seats, but there were at least two spots open the whole time we were there. HH is only at the bars. We started with their bread, which is giving major carbone vibes. In fact , Cento I think IS the Carbone of cbus! The bread was amazing. I would come just for that. Their cocktails are also fun. I have the blueberry lemonade and a glass of pinot Grigio. We did the calamari and bruschetta. The calamari was so Good. The shrimp it came with was perfect and felt very fresh. I was impressed. The bruschetta was also good. We then split a Caesar salad and this was delicious! I don't know why I thought it would be table side - but it wasn't. Would be cool if it was! After we split the bill, the HH is definitely pricer than others around cbus, but Cento is more of an experience or special occasion. I have someone's birthday dinner coming up so I'm ready to try their pastas!!!

We drove past on our way to our Airbnb. The outdoor patio looked amazing. We had an early dinner. The meal was very good. The setting was awesome with lights, plants and a waterfall in the center of the seating area. Our waitress was amazing and very helpfulin menu choices. The garlic bread was very good, but the other was ok. The prices were a little high, but you're not only paying for good food, but the setting and atmosphere.

I had the halibut and it was delicious. My wife and daughter had pasta dishes and they felt it was okay. Place was very clean as were the restrooms. It is definitely a very nice atmosphere. Be prepared, it is very pricey.

One of my only complaints: The hostess' were very disorganized, several parties were waiting and no one was at the desk. When you enter, the restaurant is very dark inside. They like you to order everything at once. For an appetizer we had the prosciutto and figs, and endive salad, they brought out a garlic bread and focaccia with sauce on top (just ok but it was something different) I ordered the branzino and had a few bites of the bolognese. For dessert shared the lemon raspberry tart with a cafe con ponna. Everything was good, the gnocchi in the bolognese was excellent! Best I've ever had. Service was great! As soon as I was finished with a plate it was cleared immediately and replaced with new silverware and drinks always filled. It is a little pricey but reasonable if ordering pasta. If I went back I would only order pasta.

Eating at Cento feels like an experience from the moment you arrive in front of the restaurant. The passage where you are surrounded by plants, just lovely. The decor inside is dark and upscale. We came on a Tuesday at 5 with no reservation, but were sat in the bar area which was just fine. The two bartenders were very friendly, professional and just great. Love the little touches, like their white jackets with the C, and the C on the block of ice in my drink. No happy hour specials yet at this Cameron Mitchell restaurant, and the prices are a bit steep, but you're paying for experience, and the food is spectacular! I love that there are SO many gluten free options, my menu was as expansive as my boyfriends. Even bread that was so garlicky and good! We ordered some cocktails to start- it's a great manhattan for sure! We ordered the whipped ricotta appetizer and it came with more, different bread. We were in carb heaven. I ordered the vodka pasta dish, gf. It was soooo good! Portion size was kinda small, but I gobbled it up. He got the chicken saltimbocca and enjoyed it. We both agree we'll definitely be back. Next time we'll get a reservation so we can experience the dining room, because it was this good in the bar area I can't wait to see what it's like there!

We visit CM restaurants often and were so excited to try Cento. The ambiance was great, and the appetizers were excellent. Unfortunately, the entrées missed the mark--my Lemon Chicken was very gamey with no lemon flavor, and the Halibut was overcooked. While we appreciated the atmosphere and the start of our meal, the disappointing entrees made the overall experience fall short of what we've come to love from CM restaurants.

Food, services and ambiance were exceptional. Alex, my server, was amazing. Food was delicious and beautifully plated.
