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.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. I had the KC strip. Wife had the mushroom Ravioli. Both excellent. Love the oysters Rockefeller and the French onion soup.
