Surprised by this experience - has been great in the past but this was a miss. Several disappointments that the wait staff tried to overcome and were very pleasant about. Bar was freezing!

Beautiful Italian restaurant that leaves you hungry for more...but not in a good way. This is one of those dining experiences where your Italian grandma would gasp knowing you left hungry. The service and space is wonderful. Unfortunately, our table was stuff in the dark corner. Our table ordered an appetizer and 3 pasta dishes. The appetizer came out on a very tiny plate. Just enough for a couple of bites each. As for the paste dishes, they were delicious, but unfortunately they were super small. We all agreed we were starved after dinner. For the price, we didn't feel the value was there. We actually considered going someplace else to get something else to eat. We all felt Marcella's is a much better value for the money. Cento has potential, but not sure it really was worth it for us.

Happy Hour definitely worth the visit. The bar is reminiscent of the Rat Pack days-my martini, cigarette and fur coat. The food was delicious-arancini, Caesar salad, and filet with a great bottle of red.

Nice enough. Definitely too expensive for the quality of food and overall experience. Wasn’t wowed. I had a scallop and polenta dish that was very over salted. There are other Italian restaurants in town that I prefer to go to considering the prices here were very steep. It wasn’t fresh enough, original enough, or special enough to give me a reason to go back.
