What a gorgeous ambience. The plants, the coziness, the retro art and chandeliers to the dim lights - very well done. We really enjoyed our meal here. We tried the bread service, the whipped ricotta, and the fritto misto. For me, this was the best fritto misto I've ever had. It was truly lightly fried, tasted very fresh and the sauce, balanced it perfectly. For our main, I had the Scarpinocc. It was not on my radar at all until our server mentioned that it was one of her favorite dishes and she recommended it. I paired it with grilled chicken and I'm so happy that I did. It was wonderful. My husband had the Piedmontese filet mignon and he is an avid steak guy and he said it was excellent. He also really enjoyed the Gorgonzola cream. For dessert, I had the hazelnut torte, and it was excellent. Excellent flavor, light and airy, and also sometimes dense. Would highly recommend trying out this restaurant. read more

Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I ever experienced. The entrance was beautiful, the vibe inside was intimate and elevated, service was on top of it, and the food was amazing! If you like calamari, you will love this one - so tender and the batter was light but so crispy! The peach salad had sweet peaches and they really brightened the salad. I also loved the cheese on the salad - brought it all together. The pasta was perfect - al dente and the sauce was so flavorful and rich. I would definitely come back again. Give this place a try! read more

We had a wonderful experience! Our server, Allie, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on, and everything we ordered was delicious. We were celebrating a birthday, and she even offered to take pictures for us, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the occasion feel extra special. Ethan, our server assistant, was equally fantastic. He made sure our drinks were always full and kept the table cleared promptly, helping everything run smoothly throughout our meal. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was great, and the outstanding service from both Allie and Ethan truly made our visit memorable. We can't wait to come back! read more

Five star experience and food every time! Tried the new pasta on the menu, good portion of scallops, great flavor of the sauce. Always order the artichokes which are not on the dinner menu anymore. Service and ambiance are always a 5/5. read more

My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day at Cento this year! We had a 5-star experience - from the service to the drinks to the food! Everything was wonderful! Drinks - my husband had a CBC IPA and I had a Spritzer. Appetizer - we went with the whipped ricotta. This was absolutely delish! The whipped ricotta was creamy, smooth, had a lemony flavor with celery leaves and parsley. Seriously, all of the flavors blended so well together! It was also topped with black truffle and honey (from a local vendor)! The sourdough bread that the whipped ricotta was served with was super fresh and warm (and from a local vendor as well)! Salad - we ordered a Caesar salad as well. I thought that it was super nice that they plated the salad on two plates for us knowing that we were splitting it! Super thoughtful! The romaine was crispy (not soggy), the croutons were freshly made, the dressing had the anchovy flavor that I appreciate in a good Caesar dressing, and the salad was topped with a little lemon zest! I will definitely return just for the Caesar salad! Meals - I went with the Rigatoni and my husband went with the Lasagna. We were informed by our server that the flour used for the pasta is imported from Italy and that the pasta is made fresh daily - LOVE this! The rigatoni was SO good! I love that the pasta and shrimp were all cut into smaller bites! The sauce was absolutely delicious! The flavor was like a mix between a thick tomato bisque and curry! Yum! My husband really enjoyed the lasagna as well! The lasagna was plated into little roll-ups which my husband really liked! Will definitely be back soon - we want to check out the patio once we have warmer weather too! read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for 12 years now and was excited when I saw this place being built. I have been there a few times now - both times I had the Rigatoni and Shrimp with a glass of red. Approximately $45.00. Last night I went and must say - very surprised at what I paid; glass of red $14, ceaser salad $16, added a side of chicken $15.0!!! Thqt surprised me - thats 3 chicken breast at the store lol Each time I have sat at the bar - both inside and out (even in winter). Great ambiance. I love the bar inside - gives an upscale 50s diner with great design and mood. The outdoor bar in winter is very nice and warm - haven't had trouble grabbing a seat at either. Bartenders are nice, very attentive and knowledgeable. Parking is easy, there is valet offered. Overall - a bit over priced for generally good food, but a pleasant night out for date night or girls night out. read more

Upon entry, this place was warm, inviting and somewhat romantic. The food was absolutely delicious We enjoyed a few dishes and some amazing wines paired with a Somalian for guidance The waiter we had was very engaging and efficient. He was very knowledgeable in the flavors and offered his favorites as well. I would definitely come back here!! Especially during the holiday since the decor is so warm and very present I would also like to stop here in the summer to enjoy the outside patio and bar. We were sat in the winterized version of the patio which was perfectly heated and comfortable. I was even offered a blanket while we dined . Just a lovely quaint, cutie place. Must GO and I can't wait to taste the whole menu!!! Bon appetite read more

My first visit here. Excellent restaurant in German Village. Lovely ambiance, and very good service. During this visit, we shared the Beef Carpaccio, which was a bit on the heavy side, but tasty. For the main meal, I wanted something light, so I got the black cod. Oh, man, it was outstanding with a great broth, Oh, and they also make a mean dirty martini. A bit on the pricey side but definitely worth a return visit. read more

Really really amazing experience!! From the start when you walk in you already know it's a beautiful vibe, the ivy covered walkway is so cute and the patio is awesome. Once inside, it's a very intimate and classy vibe, you definitely feel like you are in for a fancy experience. Service was fantastic, got a really good wine suggestion, table-side presentation, and just felt really well taken care of. Plus everything was very well-paced course-wise! Food was all incredible. We got the burrata, the bread basket, the bolognese and the spicy rigatoni. Everything was fabulous. Burrata was creamy and delicious and the tableside presentation made it feel extra special. The bread that came with that was so so so good, almost preferred it to the garlic bread in the basket. The tomato focaccia was great and tasted like pizza bread. Both pastas were fantastic, I ordered the rigatoni and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Wish I had asked for red pepper flakes to add but the sauce was so silky and flavorful and there were generous pieces of shrimp in it as well! Tasted some of the bolognese, loved the cavatelli noodles and the meat was very tender and rich. We also ordered a meatball which was good, not the best one I've ever had but very delicious, marinara was almost a little sweet but in a good way. Leftover pasta tasted just as good at midnight after going out for Halloween the next night too haha, the true hallmark of quality! Absolutely loved it for a special occasion and would love to go back! read more

Cento - Bolognese, spicy rigatoni and meatball! - Italian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I've been to numerous Italian restaurants over the years, but few impressed me the way Cento did. My wife and I came here to celebrate Valentine's Day, and it was an ideal spot to do so. The ambiance was classy and romantic, and the Italian vibes were prevalent, as well. The tomato focaccia & garlic bread was a great way to start the meal. I didn't necessarily favor one over the other. However, I found the inclusion of the tomato focaccia to be unique. For our appetizers, we ordered arancini and meatballs. The tallegio cheese and summer truffles the arancini were topped with were a nice touch, but it was the creamy sauce that made the dish remarkable. The meatballs were higher quality than average, and tender. As for our entrees, we got the rigatoni alla vodka and the veal parmesan. The rigatoni was lightly dressed and delightful overall. Having said that, I actually preferred the pasta al forno the veal parmesan came with. This was to die for. It was rich, and the cheese utilized had a sharp undertone. Lastly, the veal parmesan. Not only was it a generous portion, it was one of the best veal dishes I've had. This alone was worth coming here for, especially considering it came with the pasta al forno. What more can I say? Cento is the only Italian restaurant I've been to in Columbus so far, and it's hard to imagine there's one better. Time will tell! read more

Cento is easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in German Village. From start to finish, everything was executed with style and warmth. The martinis were spot-on -- perfectly chilled, balanced, and the kind you sip slowly because you don't want them to end. The wait staff couldn't have been friendlier, striking that rare balance of professional and genuinely welcoming. They kept the evening flowing without ever feeling rushed. Food-wise, it was one showstopper after another. The halibut was absolute perfection -- flaky, tender, and seasoned just right. The round lasagna towers were not only beautiful to look at but incredibly rich and comforting. The chicken was cooked exactly as it should be: juicy on the inside with that perfect finish. And then came dessert... all of them amazing. The affogato poured tableside added a little bit of ceremony to the sweetness, and the pannacotta made for the perfect birthday surprise -- light, creamy, and elegant. Cento delivers on every level: atmosphere, service, food, and those little special touches that turn dinner into a celebration. A true gem in German Village, and one I can't wait to revisit. read more

Of all the Cameron Mitchell restaurants, this is my favorite for gluten free pasta. I am gluten free & can only eat A2 dairy (goat; sheep; buffalo). I felt very accommodated at Cento. Our server was very knowledgeable and made sure the chef was aware of my sensitivities. I love my options here and everything is always plated so beautifully! Prices are a bit higher, but the atmosphere and service make it worth it. My only complaint is the service fee, which we were charged as a group of 6. read more

Alright Cento, I see you! It was tucked away in the most adorable little spot. The staff was incredibly nice, as they always are at a Cameron Mitchell restaurant, you truly cannot get any better. It was so vibey. My boyfriend and I will definitely be back for dinner. We sat on the heated patio for a few drinks for his birthday. He had a couple old fashions he loved. I had a dirty martini that wasn't amazing, with a nasty olive. How can you mess that up?! It was barely dirty by any means. I tried something different to redeem the first drank. I made the right choice. The espresso martini was the best I have ever had. Not creamy, do dark, so flavorful. It was just what I needed. I will be back for MORE. What an amazing night. I appreciate everything you do! It was decorated very hot and sexy inside. read more

My home, my north star, my safety blanket. Everything is always good all the time anytime. My fave??? How can I choose, the seasonal and permanent menus is the best in the city. I'm currently obsessed with the seasonal squash blossom. I don't even like squash but that dish? I love. Then the branzino with this citrus sauce and potato (cakes?) 10s across the board. The salsify was also a seasonal dish and I miss it the way you would miss someone returning from war. The Caesar salad is one of the best in the city. The expresso martini? Best in the city. I know this because I've done a bit of Research & Development and I can confirm with scientific proof that cento has the best expresso martini. Honorable mentions: the king crab tagliatelle and the beef carpaccio w/ truffles shaved on top. Go ahead and prepare for your back to expand. The service is top tier. If you want to feel like a celebrity or a big shot, come to centos!!!! And the interior? Soo chic, I feel like a proper capo sitting in the back of the restaurant catching up with the family when one of my associates bring up the head of the Gambino crime family and I have to remind them we are in a nice place, we don't discuss that type of business here. Or not, but it's so elevated in there. read more

This was truly a lovely experience. Starting with a stunning patio, that we didn't reserve, but they were able to seat us at, to our wonderful server Raymar, and lastly absolutely divine food. We started with the bread, which comes with a tomato focaccia and a cheesy garlic and herb loaf, and a little plate of fresh Parmesan chunks, all of which were delicious. We had a great bottle of wine to share as well as (recommended by our server) the stuffed pappardelle. I never would have picked this without the recommendation but I am SO glad we did as it was so unique and absolutely amazing. Then we split a Caesar salad. For our meal we split the lasagna rotolo, which was a very tasty and fun twist on lasagna, and the filet with a gorgeous Gorgonzola gnocchi. Highly recommend everything we ate! We ended with another glass of wine and the pistachio and chocolate gelato; the pistachio is the only thing I didn't enjoy. This is a beautiful place to enjoy a fabulous meal! read more

Cento is definitely one of the top Italian restaurants to visit in Columbus. The building Cento is located in has a history dating back to 1904. They restored the restaurant to a cozy contemporary place. Tucked in German Village will you find Cento. Valet is available along with street parking around with a small walk. The restaurant has an indoor dining area and a semi enclosed patio, both with bar seating. Inside you will also find high top, low top and booth seating. I sat at a semi circle booth near the bar inside. It was kinda noisy. Lighting was minimal for dinner with a few candles lit around and a small table light giving a romantic and cozy vibe. Let me start by saying I am reducing the alcohol I am consuming and its been a struggle when going out with friends and the feeling of missing out. Cento made it an amazing experience for me by providing a variety of spritless options. A whole backside of a menu worth of options. I was able to order a few drinks that drank like a cocktail and made me feel inclusive at tonight's dinner with friends. I didn't even miss the alcohol. If your sober curious, this is the place for you. Okay, the food and tonight's highlight. From start to finish our table had the Fritto Misto, the main course of the daily specials, King Crab Tagliatelle and dessert, Chocolate Hazelnut Torte. The portions were not extravagant but the flavor did not miss. Every bit was savored and the quality of the ingredients shined. Perfectly executed. The service was great from the initial greeting at the host stand, the bartenders at the bar and our server. We can't wait to come back to experience Cento again. read more

Location/Restaurant; Located in German Village, parking could be tricky, Valet if available. This place is the cutest inside and outside, the patio was a hit when we walked in but we opted to celebrate Fathers Day inside. I get Mothers Day and Fathers Day to celebrate. Inside is super cute with the portraits down to the little lamps. Food; If you love Artichoke hearts, you will fall in love with the their appetizer, Holy Delicious, crisp and tasty, the sauce the hearts lay on was scrumptious. Also, Yummy is the whipped ricotta. My main entrée was the rolled lasagna, and may be one of the best lasagna versions I have had. The pasta was not to thick and melted in your mouth. I did order the Martini, which was perfect. Service; Our service was top notch, our server Theresa R. was great. read more

My husband and I dined here last night and it was amazing from start to finish. First off the vibes are absolutely impeccable. From the heated patio, greenery, and crystal chandeliers. It's just gorgeous! Great spot for a rehearsal dinner, graduation celebrations, or special date nights. As parents that work full time my husband and I rarely go out to dinner so this was such a special treat. Raymar was our server and he took excellent care of us. He recommended the Stuffed Pappardelle, and Heirloom Beets and my husband had a Caesar salad to start. My husband had the Scarpinocc as an entree without meat and I had a truffle scallop pasta that I can't remember the name of but was phenomenal. We got arancini and a chocolate hazelnut torte to go which were also delicious. Also, we don't drink but we had a few mocktails and have to recommend the N/A espresso martini and amaretto sour. Thank you Raymar and Cento! read more

Service: My waiter Zach was fantastic. Friendly talkative guy enjoying his job and the food that he is tasked to bring out. My experience was incredible not only because of the meal but because of the intersections throughout. Water was always kept full and recommendations were flawless. Ambaince/Atmosphere: dimly lit and truly Beautiful space. The bar area is stunning and the main dining room is even better. Quiet and truly romantic. This would be a phenomenal spot for a date night if Italian is the food of choice. Truly beautiful. Food: Scarpinocc was incredible. This is a very rich and butter dish so I'd be careful ordering if that isn't your taste. If you don't mind that and prefer strong rich flavors in your food. This may be one of the best pasta dishes you've ever had. This dish was featured in Forbes and for good reason. I have to insist on this order. Piedmontese Filet Mignon was incredible. The filet is essentially the Italian Wagyu type of cut. Tender, juicy, and incredible flavorful. Paired with a gnocchi that is excellent. Squishy, soft, with a subtle chew just as a gnocchi be prepared. The sauce is incredible. Absolutely delicious and you won't want to let it go to waste. I have to insist on this order. Tomato Focaccia and Garlic Bread was great. The garlic bread was crispy, heavily flavored, and cheesy. It was a perfect mop up for the delicious sauce found in the filet mignon dish. The tomato focaccia was soft and topped with a delicious in house made tomato marinara sauce. This honestly beat the garlic bread for me and was an even better mop for that sauce. I'd recommend. Chocolate Hazelnut Torte was delicious. Smooth, creamy, and flavorful. This torte was decadent, but not overly rich being cut with those crunchy hazelnuts. The chocolate praline mouse was fantastic. This is one of the better chocolate desserts I've had. I'd highly recommend. read more

Moving to the food, the peach burrata was exceptional! And the carbonara and bolognese were beyond tasty. Overall, this was one of the best meal experiences that u have ever had and I am so incredibly happy that we were able to celebrate our anniversary here (I proposed to her after dinner!) Thank you for the amazing experience, and I cannot wait for the next time we come back! We'll ask for Alex again lol read more

Recently went to Cento with my girlfriend for a date night. While the staff and ambiance were great, and our waitress was incredibly sweet and attentive, the food was overwhelmingly disappointing. I usually don't complain and tend to give restaurants the benefit of the doubt, but given the steep price tag and how difficult it can be to get a reservation here, I'm hoping this feedback helps management improve so the experience can better match the expectations people have when coming to Cento. We started with the carpaccio. We love carpaccio and order it often, but unfortunately, this was not good. It came out drenched in oil with very little flavor, and the meat itself had a grayish appearance. It was honestly pretty unappetizing, and we ended up letting our waitress know. She was very understanding and took it back without any issue. Next, we ordered the peach salad special that was highlighted on the menu. What arrived seemed to be mostly lettuce with Parmesan and nuts. It was extremely plain and didn't seem to include several of the ingredients or flavors we were expecting based on the menu description. For my entrée, I ordered the veal parm, which I figured would be a pretty reliable choice at an Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, it was by far the most disappointing dish of the night. I genuinely don't think I've ever had anything that salty. Every bite tasted overwhelmingly of salt, to the point that it completely overpowered the dish. I even woke up the next morning feeling extremely bloated and swollen. My girlfriend ordered the bolognese, which was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Again, I'm not someone who typically leaves negative reviews, and the service and atmosphere were both very good. I'm sharing this because Cento is a restaurant people get excited about visiting. Some people may even choose it for an anniversary, birthday, or other special occasion. At this price point and with the reputation and limited availability, I think it's reasonable to expect the food to live up to that excitement. Unfortunately, on our visit, it simply didn't. read more

Definitely a 5 star restaurants! The pasta was delicious, the level of authenticity was out of this world. I had the King Crab Tagliatelle, exceptional tender crab meat.

The experience was just relaxing, I'll definitely be back. read more

The food is extraordinary we started with an amazing appetizer stuffed with mushrooms and ricotta in a singular noodle wrapped around it. The mushroom glaze over the top was delicately rich. Then the Caesar salad arrived with the perfect combination of dressing and Parmesan cheese. My dinner was Chilean sea bass over polenta with a little salad nice and light. Demi glaze was really tasty. My daughter has the shrimp pasta with a creamy tomato sauce. She really enjoys this dish. My husband ordered the pork chop. Great portion, beautiful cut of meat served with onions and roasted peppers. Then we shared the chocolate hazelnut torte. So rich and chocolaty. The server Zack was very attentive and knowledgeable for a member of the group has a soy allergy. So careful with every order to verify the allergen was safe with the order. Grateful! read more

Cento really blew me away. I generally don't expect much from Italian food. Always good, but a little "one note" for me. Cento was anything but that. Every bite was creative and truly delicious. Our server, Carl, was a true pro. Not just knowledgeable, but went really deep into many of the dishes. Very much enjoyed the vibe. Dark and moody but not too much so. Busy but not loud. The whipped ricotta paired with a meatball was an unexpected star as specifically recommended by Carl. Beet salad was also great. A little on the too sweet side for me but still enjoyable. Kind crab tagliatelle was delicious. Generous portion of crab and the sauce was so rich and delicious. My husband had the scarpinocc with added scallops and it was out of this world. A filled pasta dish but still very light. And the sauce blew me away. So so different and delicious. Can't wait to come back to try more of the menu! read more

Beautiful Italian restaurant, that leaves you hungry for more...but not in the good way. This is one of those dining experiences, where your Italian grandma would gasp knowing you left hungry. Last night we had our first dining experience at Cento. First off, Alex was excellent at delivering a wonderful experience. She was attentive, helpful, personable and great example of top service. No complaints in terms of service, which is a nice thing compared to other restaurants these days. The restaurant is beautiful. Unfortunately, we were seated on a high top in the corner of the restaurant. It felt a little out of place from the rest of the restaurant. It was dark while the rest of the restaurant had a warm glow. This table really put a damper on the experience. We got an appetizer for the table, and it came out on a tiny plate. It was enough for us to have a couple of bites. Not really what I expected. It was good, but it was just tiny. One of my friends got the Carbonara, while the rest of us got the short ribs bolognese pasta. Everyone thought their dish was delicious. Unfortunately, we also all said we were starved after dinner. For the price, we didn't feel the value was there. It was very skimpy for a pasta dish. We literally considered going someplace else after dinner to get something else to eat. This restaurant is definitely on the high end. An appetizer, salad and entree will set you back some $$$$. This is a special occasion restaurant. We all agreed Marcella's is a better Italian restaurant for the money. This new edition to the Cameron Mitchell dynasty has potential. Our experience would have been so much better if we had been seated at one of the better table options. We also feel there could have been a better value in an appetizer and pasta dish. If you're going to charge these prices, we shouldn't leave still hungry. read more

This Italian restaurant is located in the heart of German Village, and this might be my favorite CMH restaurant now. I loved the ambiance, especially the lovely patio. I dined indoors, but I definitely would love to sit outside next time. The music volume could be a little lower though. The service was excellent, and our server passionately walked us through the menu and shared some of her favorites. The menu was quite concise, with a few options in each section (starter, salad, pasta, main entree, and desserts). Every dish we got was delicious and had a good amount of portion. My top favorites were: Prosciutto & melon Beef carpaccio Squash blossoms Caponata Scarpinocc Tiramisu read more

Cento is a restaurant I've been wanting to try for a while and I finally got the chance to stop by a couple weeks ago with some friends. We made a reservation to celebrate after taking our last board exam and it a great experience. We made a reservation and we had the option of sitting inside or on the heated patio. We chose the patio because it was beautiful decorated for Christmas. Every one from the hostess, to server were very helpful and professional. I ended up ordering the special with was a spiral pasta with bacon bite, shrimp and a spicy sauce. The sauce was AMAZING. I even ate the extra sauce on my plate when I was done. The calamari appetizer was amazing and for dessert we had a celebratory tiramisu which was one of the best I've had. I highly recommend Cento especially for special occasions! read more

I'm gonna be honest, if you've gotta pay $8 for a TINY basket of bread on a meal that's already gonna be $250+.... It sets a tone. It says, we want your money. We want all of it, everything we do from here on out, is to get your money. Upon entering the establishment you're greeted with a tacky fake wall of plants that can be found at any tourist trap in south beach, or scam Dubai chocolate popup. Patio looked nice, but my wife and I had requested a booth for our anniversary. The back dining room was cozy and lit with candles though out. It's a restaurant. Our server was very energetic... we waited longer than we should have a couple times and he forgot to put in a dessert order. Hated his fake laugh. Still tipped $60 cause my wife is nicer than me. Beef carpaccio tasted like the truffle oil it was drowned in, which wasn't terrible after 2 OldFashions. The $8 bread was 5 slices of soft oil soaked bread dipped in Campbell's tomato soup and 5 slices of yesterday's garlic bread they left in the air fryer too long. Now I will say the Veal Parm was up to par with actual good food. Comes on a bone, breaded and fried. I substituted the pasta it came with for their signature spatto handmade ravioli. It was NOT good. Bland. I've had better pasta out of an MRE bag while sitting in Iraq. I honestly get the impression this restaurant was put here to show off how good Cameron has gotten at making money off stupid rich people with disposable income. It feels like a backhanded insult to actually caring about the customer. This place is a tribute to his genius and business model. How to package a fine dining experience, and make the most money possible 101. Congratulations sir, you're a master at what you do. Not worth the hype.
