The SPICY POMODORO was the best dish , the GNOCCHI FINOCCHIO was a bit salty and the BROCCOLI BUCATINI was bland. Also had the CHARRED OCTOPUS as a starter, that was good but the portion was small.

My husband and I had an incredibly delectable dinner at Cento. We sat at the counter where we watched the magic take place in the kitchen. Immediately after we ordered and started seeing every dish that was ordered in the restaurant come out right in front of us, we wished we could've ordered every item on the menu. The food is incredibly tasty and presented quite simply and beautifully. The carbonara is the best I have ever had. Instead of the sauce thickening almost as soon as it's in front of you, it remained a broth like texture because of the sous vide egg they use when plating the dish instead of the traditional method. The chili crisp garnish added another layer of uniqueness to this carbonara. We just loved it.

The best pasta in LA! Every dish was incredible, the server was great, and the place as a whole definitely lives up to the hype. They even changed plates and utensils for each course. I’m definitely coming back soon to try more from the menu!
