    Outstanding experience from start to finish. Well run establishment without a doubt. The place was very clean and well appointed. I’m hearing impaired and often struggle to understand people in loud places. The noise level here was more than acceptable. I could easily converse with my wife and the wonderful staff. Everyone was courteous and professional. Loved our server Josie. She was attentive and reliable. The duck confit salad was fantastic. It’s entree sized so they split it for the wife and I. I haven’t had a serving of carbonara like the dish at Cento in a very long time. Absolutely perfect and delicious. The hot bread was the perfect compliment. I recommend a glass of the Illuminati white wine to complete the meal. The pricing was surprisingly reasonable for fine dining near the capital. Overall I was completely satisfied with Cento. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Everything we ordered was truly outstanding. Portions were ample, food was fresh and soooo tasty. I ordered the cacio e pepe, which was exactly the cozy dish I’d hoped for on a chilly autumn night. One member of our party ordered the rigatoni bolognese, which was hearty and had enough kick to be interesting but not overpowering. Another member had the risotto al salmone, which I will definitely be ordering in the future. We could have eaten the entire starters menu (I plan to make an entire meal of that next time) but settled for the ciabatta and focaccia so we wouldn’t fill up too fast. They were each so satisfying with the optional vinegar and oil that we still risked being too full for our meals. I see why everyone raves about this place and why I can never get a reservation unless it’s weeks out…totally worth planning ahead!
