I came for the Linguini alla Vongole. I would definitely return. We had early evening reservations, so it was quiet. I ordered the linguini alla vongole, my favorite go-to Italian dish. It had an amazing flavor profile, the clams were so fresh and the noodles were had a creamy texture. I would hands down eat this dish again; everyone should. My husband got the Porcini Pappardelle and loved it. He got a gelato dessert with espresso poured over it and said there were so many strong flavors. He enjoyed it. The server could’ve been a little more welcoming, but other than that, I would definitely return and recommend to others. Our bill was about $130, four drinks, an appetizer, two entrees and dessert; pretty great value.
Stopped for a rushed meal before an event at Overture. Waitstaff was super accommodating and we still had a great time. Pretty much everything from cocktails to dessert was really dang good.
My wife and I had a great first experience here recently. From the Burrata appetizer, to each of our entrees, to the cocktails, everything was very delicious. The service and atmosphere were great as well. I got the Cavatelli and she got the Tagliatelle. We both liked mine a lot, probably an 8/10, but her's beat that and was a 10/10. Everything had the right amount of sauce and the flavors shined. As for drinks, if you like scotch (or any whiskey really) and peach, get the Smoked Peach. It was awesome. You can't go wrong with the classic Negroni either. We also had such an amazing server. All in all, and I'll admit this feels weird to say, but I believe the Food Fight Restaurant Group has the two best Italian places in town. I'll probably give the slight edge to their other staple on the east side, but Cento is right there with it. With that said, the service was better here and my wife actually prefers it now. Either way, enjoy!
