    A delightful restaurant in the German Village area of Columbus. Ironically it’s an Italian restaurant. As with all Cameron Mitchell restaurants the food and service was exceptional. Parking is tricky on the street but they offer valet parking after 5:00. We went for my wife’s birthday. CM restaurants make special occasions even more special.

    This is an amazing venue for a date night. Get an outdoor seating if you can, but the indoor is as impressive. White tablecloth service is impeccable and the food/drinks/dessert are all excellent. Finally, my bathroom had a portrait of the handsome Marcello Mastroianni. You will love this place!

    Wow! What an EXPERIENCE! From authentic Italian ingredients, to sourced wine, to impeccable service that underwent extensive training to be able to just talk about the cuisine, this place rocks! Loved every bite, savored every sip, and enjoyed all the conversation from the staff. 10/10 worth the price and the wait.

    Cento is the definition of elegance and elevated food. The restaurant itself is stunning and we were fortunate enough to sit outside on their gorgeous patio. The staff was amazing and actually timed our dishes so they would come out accordingly and allow us to finish our appetizers before receiving the food. For our meal we got the Caesar salad as an appetizer and it was the most perfect Caesar I have ever had. Not to mention their bread was so delicious and had to stop ourselves so we could save space for our meal. I got the vodka pasta and oh my goodness chef's kiss! As I write this review I am wishing I could eat it all again. Absolutely recommend for a date night, friend's dinner, dinner with family, any occasion!

    Service was absolutely fantastic as well as the food. Went here for a birthday dinner and they made me feel very special. The complimentary bread basket was the best bread I’ve ever had in my life. After the delicious dinner, we got an americano which was amazing and went perfectly with the hazelnut torte and the complimentary gingersnap cookies!

    My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cento, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with an atmosphere that exuded both elegance and coziness. To start, we were served complimentary bread that was freshly baked and accompanied by the most exquisite Parmigiano Reggiano. The combination of warm, crusty bread and the rich cheese was a delightful prelude to what was to come. For our main courses, I opted for the rigatoni, and it was a revelation. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sauce had a depth of flavor that I can only describe as heavenly. It was a dish that truly showcased the mastery of Italian cuisine. My wife ordered the Scarpinocc, and she was equally thrilled. The delicate balance of flavors in her dish left her thoroughly satisfied, and she couldn't stop raving about it. What truly set Cento apart, though, was the impeccable service. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, providing insightful recommendations and answering all our questions with grace and patience. It enhanced our dining experience immensely. The high-end ambiance, complete with soft lighting and comfortable seating, added to the overall charm of the evening. It was the kind of place where you could truly savor your meal and enjoy a quiet, romantic dinner. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Cento to anyone seeking an exquisite Italian dining experience. From the complimentary bread to the expertly crafted entrees and exceptional service, it's a restaurant that deserves high praise and repeat visits. We left Cento with smiles on our faces and memories of a remarkable evening.

    We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Thursday without a reservation because the only one available was for 8:30pm online. Valet parking is $10. Street parking is available and we could have found a space, but hubby didn’t want to mess with it. Hostess made me feel a little weird about not having a reservation and stated we would be seated at the bar. Fine. Service was excellent. Bread and wine were delightful. Our entrees were delivered by someone other than our bartender, and they assumed the pasta dish was mine and the pork chop was my husband’s. For the second time, felt a little weird and off-putting when he made “surprised large eyes”. I shared nearly half of it with my husband, but whatever. The pork chop was the star. The homemade pasta and meatball were good, but not amazing. My husband asked for extra red sauce, and as you can see from the picture I wouldn’t say his request was granted. The atmosphere is lovely. Kind of moody and dark. White tablecloths. The outside area looks lovely as well, but of course we were second rate bar customers lol. Overall, we were glad we tried Cento. It will not go on the list as one of our favorites but it was an enjoyable evening nonetheless.

    Delicious food and amazing service. We expect nothing less from a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. But the bartender really made our night extra special. Can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu!

    My partner and I had a wonderful experience with dining at Cento for the first time and we will likely come back. The food was great from the antipasto to the pasta main course and dessert. The staff were also very friendly and polite. The outside atmosphere is also gorgeous and provides a nice dining experience. It was also nice having the opportunity to talk to a wine sommelier about what food would pair well with the variety of wines offered.
