Cento

Its difficult to find a traditionally made carbonara without any cream or other garbage put into it and Cento delivered on this classic. We got the whipped ricotta to start with some excellent sourdough before enjoying their delicious pasta. The restaurant also features many dishes able to be made gluten free for those with dietary restrictions. Service was on-par with the caliber of restaurant and the atmosphere was wonderful being tucked away in German Village with a very nice shaded patio.

My friends took us here for my birthday because they knew I would love it and I also have celiacs and they offer a lot of gf menu items; Cento did not disappoint. We sat on the patio. The atmosphere is gorgeous and very clean. The food was amazing. I had the beef carpaccio and the filet with gf fettuccini and did not get sick at all. They also made a great filthy martini. Our waiter was Joey and he was fantastic. He brought out lemon cookies but since I couldn’t have them he also brought out limoncello. It is on the pricey side but worth it for a special occasion. Definitely recommend, especially if you have issues with gluten.

Service cocktails, and ambience were amazing!! The food however, Was a bit disappointing. The grapefruit cosmopolitan were delicious. All of the food LOOKED good. The Whipped ricotta looked beautiful, but had very little flavor except for a lot of lemon, which was not even listed in the ingredients on the menu. We sent this back. The burrata was fine, but under seasoned. Tomato focaccia (free bread) was delicious. Carbonara pasta was overcooked mush, very little flavor and we sent it back. The rigatoni pasta was well cooked, but the tomato sauce had very little flavor and was very thin. The special was short ribs and polenta. It was good however there was a very strange and strong flavor of lemon in the polenta. I have celiac disease and was excited to see gluten free gnocchi on the gluten free menu. However, after I tried to order it, they explained to me that this was not gluten free even though it was on the gluten-free menu. My dinner companion did not have Celiac.
