    TAGLIATELLE AL RAGU &  PAPPARDELLE
    Ana G.

    Customer service was amazing and the ambiance was okay...but the food was absolutely MID and overpriced. I can't even describe how disappointed I was. The food had no flavor at all and one of our pasta dishes came out cold. I've always been curious about this place but after finally trying it, I should've just stayed curious . You're honestly better off going to Olive Garden or Cheesecake Factory because this was not worth it. Don't waste your time or energy on mediocre food. I'm actually baffled by how many positive reviews this place has. *** THE RATING IS BASED ON THE FOOD ONLY***

    I had dinner with a good friend at Centanni the other night. I've only been to Centanni twice, but I was very impressed with the food both times. This small Italian restaurant has a rustic charm about it. And the food...well, the food is excellent. My friend and I shared the beet salad and the homemade pepperdale with mixed wild mushrooms & white truffle oil. Both were fantastic. The service was great too! We're already talking about going back.

    I'm perplexed & frankly, envious by any rating over three stars; where was this supposedly-amazing pasta the night my friends & I visited Centanni? My order of Ravioli di Zucca ($25) was ordinary, absolutely nothing that hasn't already been done to pumpkin ravioli with butter, sage, & parm. The rest of the dishes were equally mediocre. College bff commented that the white truffle oil in her Pappardelle was dialed up to an intense 130% when the chef should've stopped before reaching 100%. When I saw the pizzas the rest of our group ordered, I was glad I didn't make the same choice; perfect for a kid's amateur palate, but the thin layer of cheese & sparse toppings would make an adult pizza lover sad. Centanni is a casual spot with uninspired decor. The only plus side to our meal was our friendly server who regularly checked on us.

    If I could, I'd give this place 10 stars I would,! The service was outstanding. Everybody was so friendly and hospitalable. Not just fake friendly, but just generally making sure you had what you wanted & needed. The food blew my mind. I had the calamari, for entree I had the linguine with clams (chef's kiss) and dessert I had tiramisu. Oh, and a glass of of BackHouse Merlot. I ate every bit of it, and bonus: My stomach didn't hurt afterwards.

    What usually happens when you experience a restaurant for the first time can be exciting, mysterious, nerve wrecking or a combination of all three. If it's a restaurant you decided on with no recommendation from a friend or a review, it can be exhilarating or a crap shoot. In addition, it was my wife's birthday so the expectations were pretty high. Happily for us, this restaurant excelled on every level. To begin with, Karina, the delightful girl who greeted us as we entered, treated us as if she was expecting us and with such joy. She was both inviting and sweet as can be. She sat us at a lovely corner table that she made sure was clean and fresh, giving it an extra wipe before we sat down. Next, Nahun, a superior waiter welcomed us and took our order with the care and patience of a skilled surgeon. My wife had a severe gluten allergy and Nahun assured her that her meal will be gluten free and delicious. Her LINGUINE VONGOLE with a substitution of Gluten Free Penne was out of this world. The pasta had the consistency of regular pasta and was cooked to perfection. The clams in their shells retained all the flavor one comes to expect from them and more so. My wife had to tell Nahun that it was delightful and addicting. I ordered the CAVATELLI which is a homemade pasta with an Italian sausage ragu. I've eaten pasta my entire life and this was the best pasta I've ever had. The ragu was spectacular and should earn a Michelin Star. For dessert, they offered a gluten free, Flourless Chocolate Cake which was devoured and enjoyed. We asked both Karina and Nahun to let the chef know that we think that this is the finest meal we've had in Burbank in years and will be coming back again and again. The only problem for me is that I don't want to try anything other than my excellent meal but I have to be brave and trust that everything on the menu has to be superb. Bravo to the chef and staff of Centanni. We can hardly wait to return and bring friends to experience what fine dining is all about.

    Amazing new menu, authentic Italian in the valley. Never disappointed when I'm here with my family. Great service and warm food and tasty meals

    Heirloom Tomatoes with Burrata
    Alejandro L.

    We had a great time here, will come back. We came here for three reasons. 1. We live in Burbank and it was close and wanted to support the business 2. They are a Resy restaurant so making a reservation was super easy 3. Well...don't you want a nice dinner for an anniversary? Overall the restaurant's service and hospitality are top notch. They seated us in time and were very much on top of things service wise during the meal. I mean our server constantly checked on us and made sure we were enjoying a nice anniversary dinner. They even were super nice in giving us a beautiful and delicious Tiramisu for dessert! But to start we did start with the heirloom tomatoes with Buratta which was def hefty! Just big and juicy tomatoes with such great cheese, olive oil and balsamic with some basil. Yum. I wished they would have gone with a little more basil bc what a wonderful herb that it!! I will say that they could make the place a little more romantic -- all it would take would be some lighting change (warmth and spottier) and maybe some paint for the walls weren't all white (but that's IMO). Anyways for the main course we enjoyed pasta which we both wanted and they were super lenient on switching my tagliatelle to rigatoni which is what I love with a Ragu meat sauce. It was great! The sauce was amazing esp with the focaccia tbh eh give you to soak all that sauce. Overall we were happy and would come back. Thank you Centanni!

    My Daughters and I was there yesterday almost as soon as they opened! As soon as we walked in we were greeTed with the most amazing welcome! Please to our waitress for not knowing how to pronounce or spell her name, but I think her initials starts with a D. She was beyond great. From the garlic toast, calamari, and our three dishes, they were so fresh and yummy. Funny thing we were out on Burbank shopping and my one of my daughters googled the closest Italian restaurant near by, and Centanni popped up, and we are glad that did. If you're ever in the area, be go visit them. The place is very cozy, and I love the T.V showing pictures of different parts of Italy. I'm so glad we were lucky to find this place yesterday. Will visit again, thanks again for wonderful service

    TWO kinds of Gnocchi? This rarely happens -- I was in heaven.
    Liz L.

    If someone told you that there was a world-class Italian restaurant, worthy of any Italian town in the old country, sitting in a non-descript strip mini-mall on Victory Boulevard in Burbank, of all places, you might be skeptical. Don't be. Centanni is just that restaurant. No one was more surprised than I was, believe me. Once inside you get immediate impressions and then some further details and refinements emerge as you settle in to your table and begin to appreciate the menu choices, the cleanliness (spotless), the friendly attentive actually caring service (thank you Marisa and Karina). And the entertainment (more on that farther down). Look at this place -- serious stuff. An austere black and white decor, the bar has color-changing lights, the floor is polished concrete, the ceiling is perfect and boasts cottage-like bulb lights amid sound-absorbing panels. The tables are wood, the comfortable high back upholstered chairs of gleaming leather (or pleather -- couldn't tell, they were so well done). Everything is first class, in perfect condition. Big black linen napkins, heavy duty cutlery, large frosty bottles of water that Marisa refilled wordlessly during our meal, two beautiful carafes of high quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar to accompany the freshly made rosemary flavored focaccia (two baskets, compliments of the house). The deep menu, again in black leather, as well as the specials of the day on the board. No fewer than six desserts including Tartino, Cannoli, Affogato, Creme Brulee, Dark chocolate fudge cake, and others. Half a dozen types of coffee, including lattes. Being both half Italian and a vegetarian, I have steep hurdles for a place like this to scale and they nailed them all. My litmus is gnocchi, so, of course, I was astounded to see two types! Two vegetarian soups, I got the green puree. Eggplant parmesan for those of us who love lasagne but don't want the meat. Exceptional salads, including Caesar cradled in a lacey Parmesan basket. I will let my pictures tell you the rest. But, as for the entertainment? In front of us and behind us were large screens showing relaxing scenes from Italy. I had been to many of the places shown, but many were new to me and each frame was a trip to Europe, beautiful, inspiring, accompanied by actual current Italian tunes of all genres. We couldn't have asked for more and couldn't get enough of it. Talk about atmosphere! And the tab? Unbelievably reasonable, just a bit over $100 and half of what I expected it to be. I am pretty picky when it comes to Italian restaurants but I have to say this may be my new number one. I can't wait to go back!

    Visited this place on the Yelp stars it had and for a company dinner and overall it was pretty good. I will give it 4 stars but more like 3.5. The great was the service, the calamari and the eggplant parm! All were super delicious! The average or below average was the steak and the dessert (crème brûlée) appeared to be out of the box or something and had chocolate at the bottom. A little odd. I would certainly eat here again but stick to the pastas that were all delicious and the calamari for the starter

    VALID REASON this place is NOT BUSY. I had not been back in years and this used to be my favorite Italian restaurant in Burbank but our most recent experience as of April 29 2025 will thankfully be our last. Disappointing is an understatement. I wouldn't have given such a low rating if it were just my Spaghetti Carbonara that was dry with chewy pork BUT my husband's Ceasar Salad was old as you can see from the pics. His Ravioli was ok at least but when we complained about the food, the waiter didn't seem to care and took the plate away. I pointed out the ceasar salad being old too and he walked away. There was absolutely no point in wasting any more time to complain. Service and food have gone down. We got the check and they knocked off $3.50 from the $19 awful spaghetti and didn't even care that the ceasar salad for the lunch special was old and dry. I posted pics of the spaghetti and how much I tried to stomach down. I just hope the old chewy pork doesn't upset my stomach. My husband was trying to talk to the waiter of which I told him was unnecessary. There was no point in discussing an awful experience to a waiter who could care less. And the sooner we could pay this unjustified bill so we can leave, the better. In addition, some of the recent rave reviews I read are questionable from first time yelpers without a long standing profile. Does not align with real life experiences from other established reviewers. Eyebrow raising indeed.

    Tagliatelle al Ragu but with parpadelle and salmon in the back
    Kaori T.

    I am shocked that I have not written about this place yet as I've raved about this joint to many people who ask about Burbank recommendations. Their pasta is delicious and handmade, their ragu is so tasty... Anything I've tried here has been a hit in the tummy. They have a really nice sole filet if you're not looking for carbs, as well as a delicious salmon. Can't go wrong with the burrata and heirloom tomatoes. Def get a side of veggies so you don't get full off only carbs (if you're trying not to feel stuffed) but there is nothing on this menu that will disappoint Price is reasonable for the quality, they've got good service too. If it's just me and the beau, I prefer sitting at the bar. Kinda nice to catch a glimpse of what goes on in the kitchen. You won't be disappointed!

    Nicole R.

    This restaurant was just "fine" - I'm giving them an extra star because the wait staff was great. The pasta (this is an Italian restaurant) was extremely uncooked, I debated taking it back. You can tell this is someone's passion project, unfortunately it just misses the mark.

The lasagna is delicious, and the noodles melt in your mouth. I like it because it's not overly heavy like some other lasagnas. It comes with two piecea of garlic bread. During my last visit, one was a bit burnt on the edges. The pastrami sandwich is really tasty, and the bread is soft but still has a nice chew. It usually comes with marinated diced tomatoes, but I always ask for them on the side. If you dine in, the sandwich comes with two deli sides. On my last visit, I got the potato salad and marinated artichokes and both were great. The potato salad was creamy, and the artichokes were super flavorful. For dessert, I tried the tiramisu, and it was a bit underwhelming. It had a slightly gritty texture. Since it's imported from Italy, I had high expectations, but I'm guessing it's shipped frozen, which might be why it didn't taste fresh. I wouldn't order it again. They also sell Italian cookies and gelato. The cookies are good, especially the raspberry ones. The gelato is really refreshing. I recommend mixing mango and raspberry if you like something tart, or trying the tiramisu flavor if you want something sweeter. It's a cafeteria-style deli, so you order at the counter, pay, and then find a table. They also have outdoor seating.

I had the absolute pleasure of getting to try their butternut squash ravioli in a delicious pink sauce, and their monte carlo pizza which I cannot possibly over praise for how fantastic how perfectly crispy the crust was. Tons of pizzas get it wrong, where you'll get a "gummy" layer between the top and bottom of your standard pizza, but this one? This one was PERFECT in the crisp factor and the toppings, were fantastic. To top it all off, we got some gelato which exactly the kinds of thing that helps shake off a heatwave. The people serving us were super friendly and it genuinely makes me wish I had known about this place sooner. The GARLIC BREAD was so fantastically tasty that I could have made it a dish all by itself. The spot really makes you feel like you're at home, and I'm just grateful I happened to be hungry in the general area. Cheers!

We began with the house bread, which was soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and served with balsamic and olive oil. Simple and delicious. Next up was their homemade Caesar salad. Instead of traditional croutons they use toasted crumbs, and honestly it was a game changer. The texture worked perfectly with the dressing. For our mains we had the Dover sole piccata which was bright, buttery, and exactly what we were craving, along with the seafood linguine that was rich and flavorful. We wrapped things up with a cappuccino cheesecake and an Americano which was the perfect way to end the meal. Great service, great food, and a really enjoyable dinner overall. 10/10 recommend.

I was reading this page and saw mixed reviews, so I decided to try it with my son and make my own determination. They have no parking but thankfully we found a spot on the side street. The restaurant is located on the ground level of an apartment building. They also have outdoor seating, but we sat inside. One restroom each for men/women (and super clean). We walked in and got a pleasant greeting from Mia. She was HANDS DOWN the best part of this experience and provided stellar customer service. She is so young and has a bright future ahead of her. Mia treated us with genuine kindness and was a pleasure to talk to during our dinner. She made sure we were well taken care of and our orders were to our exact specifications. This restaurant is very lucky to have someone as good as her working there. For our appetizers, we got the Cesar Salad ($17), Parmesan on the side, and Bruschetta ($17). I also asked Mia if they bring complimentary bread to the table and she said they do, upon request. She asked if we wanted olive oil or butter and I chose butter. My son and I both enjoyed the Bruschetta and thought it tasted very good. The bread was nicely toasted and the tomatoes were seasoned well. It was also a good portion, easily shareable between 2-3 people. The salad wasn't our favorite and we've definitely had better at other restaurants. The lettuce didn't taste too fresh and the dressing wasn't really that good. The portion size was good, though. For my entrée, I got the Spicy Rigatoni ($22) but I asked for it to be light on the spice and added shrimp (+$12). It tasted fine, nothing really to write home about. I had to ask Mia to microwave it for a minute because it wasn't hot. My son ordered the Chicken Parmigiana ($23) but asked for the chicken to be grilled instead of breaded. He said he enjoyed his dish and the tomato sauce had a good amount of garlic in it. For dessert, Mia was kind enough to bring out a complimentary Key Lime Cheesecake since she found out my son is celebrating his birthday in a few days. She was seriously impeccable. Honestly, the place is just really drab and boring. There isn't much decor and it feels like a slightly elevated diner that serves beer and wine. It was a Friday night and there was no one in there/no pickup orders. We were there from about 7:30pm-10pm when they closed and only 3 other parties came in. There is no music playing, which makes the atmosphere even more drab and lifeless. Its also super cold in there and I asked Mia to adjust the AC and even after she did, it was still cold. It's not an upbeat type of place at all but the food is decent and Mia's service is the best part. She herself is 10/5 stars, but for my overall experience, I'll stick with 4 stars this time.

    I think it is important to update this review because I got a detailed and thoughtful message from…read moreBelle, the owner. She explained that they were short-staffed and had two brand new servers last Sunday and that she was frantically trying to take care of the cooking and the serving as well as greeting newcomers. That explanation makes sense and had we known that, we might have chosen to forego the reservation that day or not been upset. I appreciate her taking the time to get back to us and being so candid and self-effacing. It seems it was a confluence of unfortunate factors that led to us having a sub-par experience at a respected restaurant.
