    Excellent food, very kind and attentive servers. We very much enjoyed our pre-theatre dinner. Carpaccio was top notch, as was my orange roughy. We will be back!

    I ll be honest I wasn't expecting it would be good because the restaurant didn't have a lot of reviews. But I am hoping this review adds to what's on OpenTable and convinces more diners that Centini is amazing. We loved the food, the ambiance, and the service. The wine list offers you a lot of great options, and Jonah, the fella who served us was the best. Thanks Jonah

    We went to Centini on Valentines Day. It was quite busy and took a little longer than expected to get us seated and get our food, but we understand that it was due to the day. Wondering if booking less guests would allow us to have speedier service. Our server was Stef. She was absolutely amazing. She handled some very rule and stuck-up guests very well and professionally. Even after the rude customers, she would come up to us and act like nothing happened and was happy and positive our entire visit. The gentleman at the coat check was great as well even though it was very busy. The seafood linguini was the star of the night for us and the Hawaiian carrot cake was great as well. Would definitely come again on a date night.
