Everything was fantastic! Our servers, Alex and Thomas, were helpful and friendly - actually everyone we encountered was friendly. They were able to easily accommodate my husband’s gluten and my dairy allergies - from bread service (actually delicious GF bread AND dairy-free bread), to main course (get the Branzino!) to dessert (they gave us free desserts for our anniversary- I got sorbet and my husband got the chocolate hazelnut torte ). Food was delicious and the outdoor seating area was lovely. We will definitely be back soon!

Everything about our business dinner at Cento was outstanding. The service was impeccable. The food was absolutely amazing. We're not talking about a few standout items. We ordered family-style, so we all five tried about a dozen different things. It was ALL magnificent. Everything about that dining experience was magnificent.

Cento is a beautiful restaurant with outstanding service. We were pleased that we were able to hold a conversation easily. The staff was accomodating and checked on us regularly. Would have given 5 stars, but two of the four people at our table were unhappy with their meals. For the one, it would have been helpful to have the appetizer options with a description in the menu. The other said their meal was too strongly seasoned. I will say that the restaurant was gratious about the one meal and offered to replace it. I would return, definitely. But if there are any concerns, ask for descriptions of the options offered. Ciao!

Cento is a beautiful restaurant in every aspect - from its setting in the charming German Village to the details of the decor. Service is impeccable and makes the diners feel special and well-cared for. We were celebrating a birthday. A card, with birthday wishes, was on the table when we were seated. One guest was gluten free, and great care was taken to provide them a gluten free menu as well as explain the gluten free approach to daily specials and desserts. The gluten free bread provided before the meal was as good as the bread the rest if the table enjoyed. I was impressed. While the menu doesn't have the copious amounts of choices as many are accustomed to in Italian eating, the choices are varied, and the quality is WOW! Everyone at our table ordered something different, and everyone raved. I highly recommend the chicken saltimbocca! A delightful blend of salty and sweet, crunchy and melt-in-your mouth. Amazing! The carbonara was also on point. Other choices that our group loved were the rigatoni alla vodka (gluten free version), the halibut, and the lasagna rotolo. For dessert, both the chocolate hazelnut torte and the tiramisu were heavenly. Cento is a special place for a special occasion. An evening there will leave you feeling cared for and happily full (but not overly stuffed). For us, it was perfecto!

BRAVISSIMO!! Impressive interpretation of classic and favorite Italian dishes! Creative, attractive and above all delicious! In our party of 6, 4 got the lasagna and all said it was excellent. I got the bronzino and it was delicious. We share appetizers and they were well portioned for 6 and each was excellent. The handmade gnocchi (all pasta is hand-made daily) and the carbonara were standouts! Also VERY popular for dessert was the panna cotta and the lemon tart! At first we though of it as a 'Special Occasion' restaurant but in this case any day of the week could be reason enough to go back to Cento! "Che buono!"

Food and service were simply INCREDIBLE and I would highly recommend Cento for everyone for their next special occasion. However, we had the unfortunate luck of sitting next to what very much acted like a frathouse party, but with 60 year old men. They were purely and obviously obnoxious - and perhaps my bigger concern is that they seemed to know many of Cento's staff who did nothing to calm their behavior. They were rude and disruptive to our 12-year anniversary dinner, a $300 dining experience. I'm not sure if Cento staff allowed their disruptive behavior because they are regulars or if that's just the general response of staff when one table disrupts the overall enjoyment of all other surrounding tables. I certainly felt like Cento could've curbed their behavior, but chose not to.

We tried Cento for our 26th wedding anniversary. The atmosphere is exquisite. The food choices are unique and flavorful for the most part. We chose the Branzino and a house made pasta and while the fish was fairly salty, the pasta was to die for. Bring your pocketbook but enjoy the experience because it is a very special new restaurant from Cameron Mitchell.

To begin, they don't brew their iced tea, they pour it from a pure leaf bottle. Apparently, they don't have enough room to brew and store tea as we were told by staff. The bread is fantastic and the Caesar was very good. It was all downhill from there. We had 2 orders of the pasta special of the evening (tagliatelle). One plate, the noodles were so overcooked they clumped together in a pile on the plate. The other was seasoned with so much black pepper, it dominated the dish. We ordered grilled chicken and scallops on the side to accompany the pasta. They were brought out in separate silver pans, all were cold. The mix of staff was interesting, they had more people filling drinks than waiting tables. Our waiter spent less time at our table than the support crew. The space is great, the execution on service and food was on level of a glorified Olive Garden. CM needs to hire mgmt to ensure his concepts are executed.
