Fantastic spot for Italian food! We walked in on a Thursday around 5:30 and there were spaces available spaces for happy hour (which is at the bar, high tops or window counter only). Their deals were great ($8 cocktails!), and they have HH on Weekdays from 4-7. We also got their handmade pastas -- gnocchi and lasagna. Both were fantastic, but the crusted cheese on the top of the lasagna made it a favorite! read more

Love Centanni! Great food and the best people, shout out to Molly Rose for making my afternoon better :)

Cent'Anni is a Crown Heights gem to be added on the "to-do" list. I have been here a couple of times, and it has not disappointed. The food is on point, and the staff is cool. I frequently sit at the bar, and Amy or Declan behind there always makes for a good time. read more

Cent'Anni - Love Bites - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

3.5 stars rounded up -- We ordered delivery from here of spaghetti and meatballs, and pappardelle with grandma sauce. I expected the grandma ragu sauce to be like a meat ragu with minced meat, but it came tasting super similar to the spaghetti sauce with sliced sausage and meatballs which was disappointing. I've never had ragu sauce like that in my lifetime of eating italian food in NY. The pasta comes with bread! Got garlic bread too because I was doing it up with the gluten that particular day. They do delivery cocktails and drinks with the pasta, not just wine. The fried calamari was good and somehow traveled relatively crisp. read more

Came here in person to dine for my father's birthday and had a great experience. Both the food and the service were great. We had wine, the burrata appetizer, salad, and pasta - all were great! Would return. read more

No flavor! It is also extremely small. Our waiter was aggressive. Almost threw the food on the table. I'll pass on going back here. If you want to be treated like DIRT because you have melanin be my guest. read more

GRILLED PORK CHOP wild mushroom wine sauce & julienne vegetables I love dining at @centannibrooklyn . The service is always impeccable and the food is slow cooked and served fresh. This dinner combination is one of my favorite entrees on the menu. Who would have believed that I arrived 25 minutes before the kitchen closed on #ChristmasEve and they didn't make me feel rushed at all. The #PorkChop is HUGE and more than three inches thick ‼ #MyHungryWorld #SkinnyGirlsLuvFood2 #Repeat #Service read more

Cent'Anni - GRILLED PORK CHOP wild mushroom wine sauce & julienne vegetables - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Two stars because the promised "heated patio' was definitely NOT heated. The manager apologized briefly but did nothing concrete to make amends. A small gesture like comping an appetizer or drinks would have gone a long way. Instead he promised us they would have heat "tomorrow". Thanks! The food was fine. We liked the tagliatelle funghi and the eggplant Parmesan. And the server was prompt (and apologetic). Normally, we would have liked to have stayed to try the desert and an espresso, but the low temperature was too uncomfortable. There are other (better) Italian restaurantes in the neighborhood, e.g., Aita. We won't be back. read more

Absolutely Delicious and great portion sizes. Services was great as well as ambiance. Drinks were also delish! read more

Cent'Anni - Chicken Parmigiana - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Amazing Italian spot in crown heights. Decided to try this last minute while looking to find a good Italian spot in the neighborhood, and luckily the food was delicious. The ambience is also super cute. I especially loved their outdoor garden area. Really cute for a nice brunch/dinner or even if you're celebrating something special. We ordered the fried calamari for our appetizer and as entrees, we ordered the salmon, and 4 different types of their fresh handmade pasta each. Each was super delicious. I had the butter and sage pappardelle which I highly recommend getting. We skipped on dessert, as we were already full, but I definitely would like to try some of their dessert the next time I go there for sure. For the negatives, I would say that I wish that they had more options for food, such an Italian pizza and other meat and fish options as well. Also the calamari was way too small of a portion for $10. Other than that, I have no complaints :) read more

Hand-pulled pappardelle noodles in mushroom sauce with extra mushrooms is unbelievably fantastic. They use cremini & porcini mushrooms. I recommend getting extra mushrooms added Service was fine and outdoor patio was great! I'll be back. read more

Cent'Anni - Pappardelle with extra mushrooms. So so good. Get this. Get it now! - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been coming to Cent'Anni since 2016, nearly weekly. So it goes without saying that I've seen a lot of change and eras as one would with such a duration of patronage. I actually no longer live in the area---I live in Bay Ridge---so coming in weekly is a dedicated trek, which I'm still pleased to make. It's always nice to see folks from the old guard still keeping the place in tip-top shape (along with the current wonderful staff), allowing for a great experience all around. Segundo and Declan are as friendly and hardworking as any business could ask of their employees to be. Even though there's typical service-industry turn-over here, I'm not sure what it would be like (or worthwhile) if neither of them were there. It's wonderful to see familiar faces in comfort places. I've never had an unfavorable experience with any server or staff here and have always observed every staff member being friendly, well mannered and knowing their product & service thoroughly. The food has changed a lot over the years. Build your own pasta is gone, and a more solid and pleasantly eclectic menu appeared in the last few months, in very beautifully bound physical menus. Specials seem to appear daily and are usually a hit and not a miss. The salmon slices can be somewhat small on occasion, but the dish remains tasty, though it should be served with a lemon wedge for customers to add a drop or two to their taste. The mac & cheese was always visibly ghoulish; I'm glad they removed it whenever they did - may it rest in cheace. It was not a crowd pleaser but in hindsight does make me LOL at the slice of cheese just being laid on top. Gurl you could've mixed that up before bringing it out. What happened to the "bambini" menu? Kind of hard to order a big entree for a three year old. Perhaps it's upon requests now? The ambience has generally remained its warm, welcoming look over the years. From the spaceship-like light fixture in the main dining room, to the mermaid on the wall. It's nice to see the previously outdoor sign repurposed inside across from the bar. Booths were added post-lockdown and while they're nice, it has created a booth-o-war of sorts. No one wants to sit at those tiny round tables. I've seen so many people get up and move, or simply leave because of those tables that barely two entree plates can fit on. I would recommend not using them unless absolutely needed. Or even adding a spot on the Resy system that says "smaller cocktail table in main dining room" so people that make their way in aren't aghast by the site of the kiddie play table they're about to drop hard earned money on sitting at. Luckily with warm weather, more seating is available outside and I do believe heat lamps for the chilly months. Speaking of which, the garden area has finally reached its pinnacle of achievement. It's had some personalities over the years but seems to finally be a great spot. With a lovely orange fruit tree added recently that is framed nicely in the dining room window. Although the wine list doesn't change much - and has never really disappointed (I would add a wine flight option for those that don't want to commit to) - the cocktail list seems to have had more incarnations than the wine. I could be wrong though. But I've never seen or heard anyone say their cocktail is distasteful. Declan can make a great cocktail, and he certainly can draw a crowd of locals to the bar that's always got fannies on the stools, which speaks volumes about the offerings and the bartender when there's so many other options on that corner alone. If I could provide any constructive feedback it would be to box up the left overs for customers, instead of bring the container to them. Along with a bag - not many people want to carry a plastic container down the street or on the subway. I've seen this raised several times in reviews and in-person. I'm sure there's some small logistical changes involved in that, but I feel they would be worth making that change to provide an experience that ends on as best of a note as it could. Continued success! Ciao! read more

Came in on a whim mid afternoon for brunch and day drinking with my girlfriend. Espresso martini... what?!?! It was made with a level of love and intention I never had, the fries are good, I had the spinach and goat cheese frittata and my friend had the BLT... we ate at the bar and the service was great, and the inside reminds me of an old school bar - it's a little tight, but cozy and allows for chatting with friendly neighbors read more

The food at this restaurant is very tasty. I came here with my husband and friends and the ambience is very chill and laid back and I recommend sitting on the outside. I had the rosemary chicken and it was soooooooo good. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

We went here on the recommendation of a local. It was early for dinner and the space was mostly empty. The staff was lovely, and the food absolutely delicious. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is that the service was very very slow , and we couldn't see a reason for it. Even the time it took to get a glass of wine was super slow. We were all enjoying our time together so we took it in stride . But at the end of the meal when. It started getting crowded , the waitress asked us to basically hurry up with our dessert because someone else had reserved the table . That seemed a bit much given the very slow service while we were there. But that is the only negative. The meal was wonderful otherwise read more

Cent'Anni - Eggs Parmigiana Roasted Fennel, Prosciutto and Parmigiano Frittata - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is some of the worst "Italian" food I've ever had in New York so far. My friend got the Ragu and the sauce tasted like they microwaved a Trader Joes Ragu sauce and put it in a bowl with some slimy pasta. I got the soup of the day which was Butternut Squash soup. It tasted like they boiled a pot of water, threw and entire salt carton in there and added some turmeric to give it colour. How do you go wrong with a one vegetable soup? One of the waitstaff started shouting at one of the guys who work in the cellar, in front of the whole restaurant which was super weird?? He also abandoned us when it was time to pay because he was "entertaining a small child" huh? Besides that, the hostess was really sweet! One star for her! read more

The quality here has definitely gone down since covid. I remember eating there in person with no problems and it was fine. I got takeout yesterday and the food was so bland! No salt and no flavor. The sauce on the penne all vodka was thin and barely there. The fried calamari and chicken parmesan tasted like they used old oil. Seems like I could've made everything myself at a higher quality. read more

This place never fails. A neighborhood staple, we come here quite often, and are always welcomed into a warm and authentic environment. The service is excellent. Danielle made our meal very special! read more

Had a quick drink and snack here (in and out in 30 minutes so don't have much to say). They gave us bread and olive oil to start. Ordered fried calamari - which I thought the size of the calamari was small. Drinks were good. read more

Just got takeout for the first time and it was amazing! This is the perfect food for delivery, it travels exceptionally well. The food is so consistent and delicious, the ultimate comfort in this current situation. The new wine and cocktail to-go menus are excellent! It's very bizarre in Brooklyn to walk up to a window and get a three course meal with cocktails and wine to go, but here we are. Thank you, Cent'Anni for providing something warm and familiar in these scary times. We love you! read more

Cent'Anni - Quarant'Anni! - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I could eat here every day. I love pasta in general, but give me some handmade pasta with homemade sauces and ragus and I am in heaven! BF and I were staying with friends who live in Brooklyn so they took us to Cent'Anni. They have a build-your-own type option on one side of the menu, which is pretty much what we all opted for. I got lamb ragu over ricotta cavatelli. There was not a single bite left on my plate! It's probably a good thing this restaurant is 300+ miles away from me or my wallet/waist line would not be very happy. read more

Love love love the food, Ambiance was very relaxed, manager Meghan is super sweet and our server Connor was on point with everything and took care of us so well from the moment we sat from up until we left. Definitely recommend this amazing restaurant and can't wait to come back to NY! We had great drinks, tomato basil crostini and fig and ricotta to start followed with gnocchi with lemon Parmesan and ended with Tiramisu!!! Best I ever had. read more

First off, the 'igloo' is a toasty small greenhouse in the back. There are about 6 of them. The drinks were the highlight of our meal. If you go, the Bella Fonte was great. As a party of 5 for dinner we ordered the rigatoni, spaghetti with anchovies, 2 black squid pastas and gnocchi with pesto. The black squid pasta was tasteless and I don't know how if it had seafood and squid ink tends to have salt. The best sauce from what I tried was the pesto though they messed up the order (wrong pasta). When we let them know of the error, the waitress did offer to make the order again... But we don't waste food. Though the waitress was nice, another staff member rushed us on eating (though they said they weren't meaning to rush us) and gave us an incorrect check. I looked at reviews before dining here and wish I had just been swayed by the negative reviews. It was a meh experience and I wish we had chosen another restaurant given that for about $50 per person we were still hungry and our taste palates unsatisfied. read more

I ordered Cent'Anni delivery via Caviar thinking that Italian food is really hard to mess up. It's usually just somewhere on the spectrum of average to delicious. I was wrong. I ordered: - Roasted Garlic Bread ($5) - Chicken Parmigiana ($15) - Orecchiette ($14) - Rigatoni ($15) The garlic bread and rigatoni was average at best. The parmigiana tasted like something you could buy in the frozen aisle at a supermarket. And the pesto in the orechiette was incredibly bitter - which is a pretty amateur mistake of needing more cheese and oil. read more

Me and a friend stumbled onto Cent' Anni while at Brooklyn Museum in search of nearby Italian cuisine on an early Saturday evening. She was sold because the name means "100 more years" and it just so happened to be her birthday! We decided to get the sautéed calamari and honestly that was the best decision I've made in 2021. The bread that they serve was really good that we ordered another round for our main dish. We ordered the spaghetti limone with capers and the papperdelle bolognese. BOTH dishes were super flavorful, no complaints whatsoever. They have a wonderful selections of wines. Service was fine. For dessert, we opted for the panna cotta which was really good and rich in flavor. Next time, I'm going to go for the tiramisu because...tiramisu. read more

Foos and service was AMAZING! Our server, connor, recommended the burrata and penne which were unreal. I can't wait to come back!

It was my first time here and my spaghetti and meatballs were delicious- great red sauce! I also had Connor as a server and he was so helpful to give us recommendations when we could not decide what to get. I'll be back very soon! 10 out of 10 experience! read more

Loved the atmosphere. Dark, warm, cozy. Headed here on a cold Friday night, we waited about 10 minutes before a table opened up. Not bad. Bread came with olives in olive oil. We ordered a burrata for the table. This was HUGE. Dare I say almost too big. I'm being honest...no one needs to eat this much cheese. But was really good. It did need more sliced tomatoes, however. I 'created my own' with pappardelle pasta and the wild boar ragu. It was good, just wasn't amazing. It needed more depth. Would I eat it again, sure. I did try their red sauce from my wife's dish. Same thing..needed more depth of flavors. We also ordered a shaved fennel. It was more like cheese, and cheese, oh..and then fennel. Was tasty though! read more

Love this place. Its my Favorite spot in crown heights. Food is great and everyone that works here is super nice.

The Cent'Anni staff, food and atmosphere are the best. Best case scenario you'll make a new friend worse case scenario you'll have the best Rigatoni Ragu in the neighborhood. read more

Had a weird craving for Italian, so I ordered a few things via Caviar. My expectation was not too high, given that there's a bit of distance between my apartment and the restaurant. When the food arrived, I was totally impressed. Rigatoni was still al dente and the portion very generous. Calamari was chewy with great flavor. Tagliata Toscano was also huge and delicious as imagined if not perfect. Even though this is not the best Italian food I've ever had (since I did live in Rome for an entire summer before), it's truly easy and great value. I will be a return customer. read more

Cent'Anni - Roasted Beet Risotto with Creamy Burrata - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

After calling and found out there were no available tables, we placed a ToGo order online. After we walked to the restaurant to pick up at the time they told us, not only was the food not ready, but they told us they forgot to even start it so it took another 45 minutes of standing there waiting for them to cook the food. Now to the food. I will start with the chicken parm and spaghetti. Both were delicious. The gnocchi was also good as well as the rigatoni with meatball and sausage. However, the pasta for the rigatoni was hard, not al dente just not cooked correctly . The pesto dish had virtually no flavor and the potatoes were also hard. The calamari was just OK and had a strong fishy smell. I ordered two extra pieces of bread which was good because for four people, and five dishes, they only gave us two pieces of bread to begin with. All they offered for forgetting to cook our meal in the first place and waiting another 45 minutes was a piece of tiramisu. While most of the food was good, I think they really need to concentrate on the service if they want repeat customers. read more

The food was okay. As someone who for years lived in proximity to many Italian restaurants, however, I have high expectations. We sat outside, which would have been lovely except when the other group left, the dining room assistant decided to watch YouTube videos at a loud enough volume that we could hear it, and he seemed surprised when we asked him to turn it down. I doubt I'll return. read more

On funky Franklin, new spots pop up a lot- now there are three Italians. Cent anni is a good one with good value. We went between brunch and dinner when the dining room goes from empty to full. Ate: Grilled salmon with string beans $17 Pork chop w/ mushrooms, veg $17 Mini choc cake The crusty bread and olive oil with olives was ok. I really liked my salmon with capers and string beans- simple and delish. My friends winey pork chop, albeit tasty was a tad over cooked and somewhat dry. The birthday cake was cute and service super friendly!!! read more
