Good food and nice place!

Cento is a restaurant known for its delicious food and great service. Vegetarian options are available, and they can accommodate specific dietary requests such as vegan dishes. The boozy brunch, priced at $35 per person, offers a variety of options. The restaurant features a bar with craft cocktails, including margaritas for $16 each, and staff are helpful and attentive, making customers feel welcome and providing recommendations.
Recently, diners enjoyed sitting upstairs by the window, which is considered a favorite spot. The food is generally excellent with generous portions, though some found the atmosphere loud, making it hard to carry on conversations. Service can be slow, possibly due to kitchen staffing, and wait times may be longer than expected, sometimes up to 75 minutes, despite estimates of 35-45 minutes. Some customers experienced difficulty getting staff attention once seated, which affected their overall experience.
The pizza remains a favorite dish, while pasta and desserts received mixed reviews. Despite the occasional slow service and loud environment, many still appreciate the quality of the food and the helpful staff.
