    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.

    Dine LA Restaurant Week brought me in!…read more From the Dine LA dinner menu we ordered: wedge salad, and they were kind enough to substitute Gorgonzola instead of Kona for my dry aged NY strip. We also tried some additional appetizers: lobster and crab cakes and double cut smoked bacon. Both delicious. For beverages we tried: the doli, blackberry bourbon sidecar, and capital cosmopolitan. We also tried a glass of wine: DeLille Cellars, Chaleur Blanc. Every drink was amazing. Our server Halina took good care of us along with all of the staff there!

I was impressed with the upscale décor and overall "Men's Grill" steakhouse vibe. The food was generally good but nothing exceptional. We started off with the Caesar salad and the Boston clam chowder. Both were good but, again, nothing exceptional. We then ordered the steak frites and the seared salmon. The steak was perfectly cooked and came with the "stubs" of several russet potatoes. I guess we got the short end of the stick there. There was a really nice herbed mayonnaise sauce that came with the fries and another very good (pistachio?) sauce for the steak. My wife's salmon was decent and came with some broccolini and couscous. But neither dish entered the "fabulous" category. It was my birthday and we were presented with a lovely and very generous dessert of a fudge lava cake and crème Brule. Nice touch! The service was rather lackluster in that our waiter made several gaffs: he forgot about our drink order. He didn't offer fresh cracked pepper for the salad as he did for the table next to us. And he took away my plate before my wife was finished with her course. For a fine dining restaurant removing plates prematurely should never be done unless requested by the customer. But overall, for the price, this was an excellent value!

    Wanted to try out a new place in Burbank, on Saturday early evening…read more Initially we parked on the street , seems to have plenty of parking around on a weekend. But when we walked in we saw the parking lot, so we moved the car. (Rare for a restaurant to have a parking lot. About 12 parking spots ) The drinks were tasty.

Was going to order the lamb kafta , but a few minutes later the waiter reported it's unavailable tonight. Instead I went with the dolma . I have had grape leaves in the past , my mom would make them.

I didn't take pics or walk around the whole restaurant because I was on a date, but will be returning for more. I had a short rib, beet, cabbage soup of sort. My first bite was a bit more beety tasting than I was expected, but then added the dollop of sour cream provided, and it was like magic. It was a unique combination of flavors. Perfect for a dreary night. Filling and warming, and delicious . The presentation was beautiful as well. My date ordered a steak that also came with vegetables. He enjoyed, and it was cooked perfectly Our waitress was great. She had a good sense of what level of attention each table needed as I watched her. My only regret last night was not ordering some pistachio cheesecake that a table next to us ordered when seemingly just coming in for a quick dessert. This is a great place for a family dinner or a date, or something a little bit more upscale. Love that they had a parking lot, as well as there was plenty of street parking. I'm excited to return to try some more things on the menu. You can also call for reservations, although it was surprisingly not very busy for a Saturday night.

This was the first wedding dinner they've ever hosted, and they made us feel like they had been doing it for years. From the moment we started planning, the owners welcomed every idea with genuine enthusiasm. They worked with our florist, created a custom printed menu just for our guests, and transformed the private dining room into an elegant, candlelit space that felt warm, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful. The food deserves its own standing ovation. Chef Jose's philosophy is simple: let exceptional ingredients speak for themselves. His recipes use minimal oil, allowing every herb, vegetable, seafood, and cut of meat to shine with its natural flavor. Every course was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how incredible everything tasted. Seeing how Palma's team poured their heart into such an important evening made it even more meaningful.

The space is nicely decorated but that does not justify the void of food quality and technique. The only things worth eating were the pound cake and cannoli. This wasn't Italian food.
