I had a great dining experience at Cento Pasta Bar. The food was coursed out properly, and was delicious. I can definitely recommend the grilled octopus, rigatoni pasta, and hamachi crudo. Service was also amazing! Parking is tough; I recommend you valet. Overall, they had a great cocktail menu. Definitely worth the drive out there. read more

Cute Italian spot with outdoor patio & indoor counter areas! Perfect for girls night out & date vibes! My sister and I came in without reservations around 8pm and they sat us inside on the counter after 10 minutes of waiting. They were pretty full for table dining. We ordered: Steak Tartare (4/5) - Bread was perfectly oiled & crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside. The tonnato was very umami and made the dish but the steak itself was alright. Spicy Pomodoro (3.5/5) - This didn't hit as hard for me; I wished it was more spicy and I didn't taste any truffle. Pasta itself was perfectly al dente. Sweet Corn Agnolotti (5/5) - This was delish! Make sure to get equal parts of the pasta, sauce, corn, and crème fraiche (like a light sour cream) to get that flavor explosion. Creme was a little sour, corn was sweet, and the agnolotti was salty; perfect bite fr. My only negative is that this dish was too small for $28 :(. Blood Orange Pavlova (4/5) - A truly layered dessert because if you ate the sorbet by itself, it would be too sour but otherwise, another flavor explosion. The pavlova was thick and you really have to jam your spoon in to break the pieces apart. Service was friendly and fast! Overall, I'd come back! read more

Don't go, but run! It's definitely a place you must try at least once , but I know you definitely will want to come back. Absolutely amazing service , super friendly and nice. I love that there is an open kitchen and you have an opportunity to watch the whole process. We went on Monday and the restaurant was packed , so better make a reservation. Spicy Pomodoro is my top - perfectly balanced , not too spicy, just has a little kick, fresh pasta and the sauce are amazing. It's simple , but it's something you must try in Cento. Beet Spaghetti is a unique taste , very rich flavor. Be ready , because it's a sweet pasta. Something I won't ever order every time , but for the experience it's definitely worth trying. And for all banana lovers - Banana Tiramisu. Yes, it's to die for - absolutely dessert magic. Light, creamy, banana heaven tiramisu that you cannot stop eati read more

Everything about this place was absolutely fantastic. I am going to be honest, my expectations weren't very high because usually when you see a cute restaurant that is aesthetically cute and trending on TikTok, it's just okay but in this case boy I was wrong and I am glad I was! All of our food was amazing. There was not a single thing that was mediocre or bland. Cocktails were very good! I got the matcha martini but had a sip of my friends drinks as well which were equally as tasty. My favorite thing was the strawberry tiramisu because I have a huge sweet tooth. I will definitely be coming again! Also noting that our server and the entire staff were very kind! read more

Cento Pasta Bar was super delicious. The space is small, buzzy, and perfect for a dinner out. Service was friendly and fast. The pasta is definitely the highlight, fresh, rich, and clearly made with care. My favorite was the Sweet Corn Agnolotti. The flavors blend wonderfully. Portions are solid and meant for sharing, so it's fun to try a few things. Cocktails are also well done and pair nicely with the food. read more

I love that they do reservations on OpenTable, and when I called on the phone, they still had extra availability at the counter. The people that work there are so sweet and helpful! Sitting at the counter is great because you get to watch them make the food. The pasta texture was fantastically al dente and the corn sauce had this melt-in-your-mouth blend of sour, sweet, and salty that was truly unique but i was underwhelmed by the pomodoro. It wasn't as memorable or life changing like my friends had hyped it up to me and it wasn't spicy at all. The biggest issue was the portions. I don't eat a lot but I was still hungry after. For $36 per person, it was fine but I probably wouldn't come back because of the price to portion ratio. read more

Another spot I had on my list of places to try but had not been to yet. Finally checking it out the list. Cento Pasta Bar shares a door with Cento Raw Bar, each unique with their own style, decor and vibe. Three Pasta Bar is just that, a restaurant serving up pasta and drinks. I have a berry+mezcal prior to the rest of the party joining. It considered of berry, cassid and lime. You really get the spirit of the drinking come through mostly, while the berry and lime is a distant second. Wasn't my favorite drink. Once everyone was present, we started with the tartare and mussels. The mussels were cooked well, though the broth, for us, was very underwhelming. The tartare, on the other hand, was very tasty with tonnato and a black lime vinaigrette. The bread from the mussels eventually was getting dipped in the tartare plate remnants. For entrees, we tried the agnolotti and the carbonara. The carbonara was also a little underwhelming, though it did have decent flavor. I feel large chunks of pancetta, crisped. without give it that guanciale crunch you look for in this dish, while the chili crunch gave some welcomed heat to the dish. The agnolotti was delicious, with that sweet corn contrasting the creme fraiche and old bay. Just a great dish. Overall, nice little pasta spot, though that berry+mezcal could have been better. Definitely try the tartare and the agnolotti, skip the mussels and the carbonara is you to you. read more

I think I found my favorite pasta restaurant!!! I am such a HUGE sucker for al fresco dining (string lights are my weakness). Let's get down to the nitty gritty: Hamachi Crudo- YUMMM. Light and refreshing, as it should be! I'll have another plate please!! Steamed Mussels- Good, added a little texture to the dinner. Grilled bread is great dipped in their juice BUT SAVE SOME BREAD TO DIP IN THE PASTA!!! I would probably skip this next time and order something else though! **ALL 3 PASTA DISHES WERE 10/10** Spicy Pomodoro- No words. Red sauce pasta is my favorite and wow, so much wow. The Calabrian chili was not spicy at all and the truffle was not overpowering--just the perfect hint. Sweet Corn Agnolotti- MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE DISH!!! (This decision was really hard from all the pasta choices) Flavor explosion in every bite. PLEASE GET THIS!! I had a piece of bread left and literally scraped up all the sauce, licked the spoon too. Bolognese- I usually don't really care for this dish, BUT THIS!! IT WAS REALLY GOOD!! It's not like the others, it's different!! Trust me! *My friends and I all enjoyed the pasta dishes so much, we scraped the sauce with the spoon and licked the spoon after, no shame* Grilled Branzino- Good, but I've had better! I would probably skip this too. Duck Confit- OOOOU~ this was GOOOD. Duck was juicy, tender, and packed FLAVOR. Pairs SO WELL with the polenta. Banana Pudding Tiramisu- WOWOWOW. I normally don't care for tiramisu (don't judge), BUT THIS. THIS!!! It took me by surprise! I'm drooling just thinking about it. Overall: I would get the hamachi crudo, pastas, and duck confit again. I may ask for bread on the side so I can dip it in the leftover pasta sauce (I'm telling you, you need to try it!) I would also add in a salad to balance out the heavy dishes. Drinks were alright, probably stick to wine next time. I WILL GET MY OWN TIRAMISU NEXT TIME!! read more

I hate to admit when a pretty, pricey, and hyped up spot is worth it but Cento definitely is! I tried 2 cocktails, 3 shareables, 2 pastas, and 2 desserts and the only dish that DIDN'T blow my mind was the Hamachi Crudo (not because it was bad but because it wasn't anything special. Among some of my favorites were the Rice + Rose cocktail, Charred Octopus, Pomodoro, and Banana Pudding Tiramisu! And the outdoor ambiance to enjoy the beautiful LA weather was the cherry on top to the perfect dining experience. read more

Hi Cento Team, I recently dined at the Pasta Bar and ordered the carbonara. I wanted to share this photo of what was left at the bottom of my bowl. The sauce was so completely broken into a massive pool of straight grease that I was worried the US government was about to bring democracy to my plate. Jest aside, eating this actually made me physically ill afterward. For a kitchen with your reputation, serving a heavy oil slick like this is unacceptable. I hope your chefs can fix this emulsion issue so other diners don't leave feeling sick. read more

Cento Pasta Bar - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

To start off I would valet. Not the best area but happy to see it is trying to get turned around. Didn't love the drink list so went off the menu. Be aware they likely will be more expensive than off their list. The hamachi was beautifully plated and the sauce did not over power the fish. The octopus was cooked perfectly but the sauce was what made it for me. Both small portions if sharing. Pastas obviously were the star dishes. My favorite of the 3 pastas we had was the carbonara. Last was the squid ink but enjoyed the contrast of flavors with the basil pop. Desserts were both excellent. The spin on the tiramisu with the banana was great. read more

Cento Pasta Bar - Date Cake - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Parking: valet parking for $15 or street parking There's indoor and outdoor seating. Came for dinner and loved the night time ambience for the outdoor seating. The indoor seating is also nice cause you can sit at the bar and watch the cooks! Got the spicy pomodoro and it was amazing!!! Not too spicy but a good kick! Also got the rice + rose cocktail and that was also really nice and subtle! I'd recommend to make a reservation as this place can get busy! Would love to come back to try their seafood bar side! Also got the banana pudding tiramisu for dessert and that was very good as well! read more

Another good time at Cento! Went for a Saturday evening dinner. Was busy as usual and had to valet. Did have an RSVP, but looked like they were running behind so had to wait about 20 minutes for our table. We did get some mea culpa white wines from the staff for the wait - which made it tolerable. Sat in the patio area - first time here (vs the kitchen area), was def more open of a feel. Still def some date-y vibes. Was helped immediately and ordered the sweet corn agnolotti, bolognese, and the spicy pomodoro. Was all delicious! Also grabbed some dessert (panna cotta) - which was ok. Overall - come for the pasta, drinks and vibes. Will be back! read more

I was previously someone who would hesitate to pay good money at a pasta place for fear I wouldn't be getting my moneys worth but I GET IT NOW. Got off work late and had a later reservation at Cento but never once felt rushed or unwelcome, and the service and food was well-paced. Started with a nice glass of white wine and ordered the beef tartare, spicy pomodoro, branzino, and sweet corn agnolotti. Everything was pretty solid but the pasta is definitely the standout here. The sweet corn agnolotti I would come back for over and over again. We sat on the patio and loved the ambiance. Would love to try Cento Raw Bar now to see if it's just as good! read more

Unassuming spot tucked in west Adams. There's 2 sides - the pasta and raw bar. We've heard good things about the pasta so wanted to try. Made a resy at 530pm and was able to find street parking at the neighborhood across otherwise valet was $13. We originally sat indoor at the bar which overlooked the kitchen but switched with someone for outdoor seating which was nice. Service was very attentive We got: Gem Caesar salad: (4/5) wish it was more fishy personally and not sure if I like red onions in my Caesar but just preference. nothing crazy Spicy Pomodoro: (4/5) probably the most pictured pasta I've seen on my feed lately and it was perfectly al dente but thought the flavor was just ok. Don't mix the ricotta in the pasta right away.. I'd eat it separately to not mess with the temp and the texture Sweet corn Agnolotti: (5/5) just wow. So tasty, not too sweet. Perfect for corn lovers. The stuffing with the sauce and the tartness of the cream was divine doesn't come with a lot but super satisfying and rich Banana tiramisu: (5/5) got a bit too sweet for me and woul like it to have more of the coffee/tiramisu flavor but really good still! Would come back to try more and their raw bar next door! read more

I came here for the NYE set menu which came with 4 courses for $125. The portions seemed full-size and we were stuffed by the end. The staff was really friendly and the interior is like a covered patio with twinkling lights and beautiful olive trees within. We started with the scallop crudo and the steak tartare. Both delicious. The scallop had a really nice broth that was like a citrusy pho broth even. The tartare was smooth but I think could use some other elements or textures. There were 4 pastas to choose from and we got one of each. Ones we didn't really care were for the Lobster Mafaldine (menu says lobster but they were more like pieces of loganistas), Lamb Casarece (pasta was too tough in my opinion), and the Spicy Pomodoro (we were super excited for this one, but the taste was pretty one note and the rigatoni was too al dente). The favorite was the Sweet Corn Agnolotti - the pasta was so delicate and filling was creamy - really good! Little pockets of deliciousness. I would order this one again. For main, we got the Lamb Chops which came with 4 chops and were cooked great and tender! The cilantro aioli didn't taste like much and the corn polenta had that sweetness which was nice. The other option the scallops were also good but the portion comparison between the two entrees was jarring. If I got the scallops alone, I would be hungry. For dessert, the chocolate tart was the winner, but definitely needed an accompaniment to it. The strawberry shortcake cream didn't have much flavor and unfortunately the biscuit was really tough. I think it would've been better if the biscuit was warm. Overall we had some hits and misses but was still a great spot to dine for NYE! read more

Highway robbery. Had our anniversary dinner here and was disappointed. They did not do anything special for our anniversary even though we marked it on our reservation. We walked away hungry after sharing an app and two entrees. Service was sad to be honest. Hostess looked like she couldn't be bothered. She expected us to greet her rather than the other way around. Our server was nice but standard. Again, disappointed they did nothing special for our anniversary. Berry + Mezcal (4/5) - Can't really mess this up. Hamachi Crudo (4/5) - Great dish, pretty tart. Spicy Pomodoro (2/5) - Not spicy at all. $26 for wheat and cheese is crazy. Bolognese (2/5) - Good richness to it but $32 is steep for what it is. Some of the pasta isn't even made fresh, I saw pre-packaged pasta being cooked. They also use chipped bowls and I saw them serve a bowl even more chipped than mine. read more

This place was amazing!! Super cute spot. We did family style and tried the Gem Ceasar Salad, Spicy Pomodoro Pasta, Sweet Corn Agnolotti Pasta, Squid Ink Malfadine Pasta and Grilled Branzino. The pastas were amazing and the sweet corn was so unique. I will say the pasta servings aren't huge so if you plan on sharing with more than 2 people, definitely recommend ordering 2! For dessert, we did the Banana Pudding Tiramisu which was to die for. read more

While we enjoyed our evening at Cento, I didn't leave raving as some have. Valet right in front is easy and seemingly necessay for the area. We had to wait about 15 minutes for our table to be ready, but we got to enjoy some of the patio ambience while waiting. Seated at the chef's counter, we had a nice view of the kitchen action. Interesting cocktail menu, but nothing was speaking to us. Be aware that they don't have a full bar at Cento Pasta bar, though they do next door at the Raw Bar. Luckily, they could make both an Old Fashioned and Negroni. We were a bit shocked at the $23 cost for these drinks, but they were well made. We also weren't in love with the wine list and ended up with a bottle that was just ok we could have declined it, but wanted a red and didn't see anything else that was at a reasonable price point that matched our palate. Between our group we enjoyed the Hamachi Crudo and Charred Octopus (both $23), the Spicy Pomodoro ($29), the Squid Ink Mafaldine ($32), and the Carbonara ($32). The Banana Pudding Tiramisu ($16) was also very yummy. All the food was good for sure, but something stops me short of giving a full five stars. read more

Cento has some of the best pasta I've ever had! The food is truly top-notch and the ambiance is so classy yet comfortable - whether you're dining on their beautiful patio or inside at their bar, where you can watch the food being prepared. We loved every dish we tried! Would recommend making a reservation as this spot is quite busy! There is valet parking available but we parked on the street. Service was great and very attentive. Charred octopus ($26) - the octopus was simply perfectly cooked. It paired so well with the romesco sauce made with roasted red peppers, tomatoes, garlic, nuts Spicy pomodoro ($29) - a simple yet classic pasta dish that was so delicious! The pasta was the perfect amount of al dente. I loved the subtle truffle flavor and the spicy kick from the spicy chili sauce. The ricotta on top was perfection too Bolognese ($34) - made with ricotta gnocchi, parmesan parmigiana, soft cream. I've honestly never had such good gnocchi before! Such a delicious and creamy meat sauce too Banana pudding tiramisu ($16) - what a stellar ending to our meal! The cake itself tasted more like banana pudding, and the tiramisu flavor is more in the cream itself read more

Wowww!! Miracle walk-in on a rainy Friday at 7:45pm--no reservation, but don't risk it. The line was long when we left. We were rushing to a concert and only had an hour, but the service was flawless. Our waitress nailed every description, suggested great wine pairings, and the kitchen sent dishes out as they were ready, which worked perfectly for us. Standouts: the beef tartare (silky with a subtle smoky note and an unexpected tuna undertone), the gem Caesar with its bright, craveable dressing, and the sweet corn agnolotti--delicate, flavorful, and truly special. The squid ink malfaldine with nduja and prawns brought the heat we were looking for. We'll be back for the banana tiramisu everyone around us was ordering. read more

Celebrated my husband's bday here with friends recently and we all had an amazing time. First time here, but won't be my last. The food was really good and now I see what the hype is all about. Ordered just about everything on the menu. And nothing was bad. Only thing I would recommend for the restaurant is to change the current stools thar are at the chef's counter to have chair backs to them. I can't stand a backless stool as I have a bad back. read more

The ambiance is really cool, I like how they decorated it and made it feel like a hole in a wall spot. The pastas themselves were pretty good, I liked the chew that it had. The sauces were a bit interesting - very dairy heavy. I would try the pasta by itself to get a sense of what the flavors are. I know everyone recommends the beet pasta and it is unique but I would only order it once and not really a repeat item. I think its a bit too sweet and could have used some more acidity. The service was quite slow so the chef had actually gifted a plate to us. Nice to see the chef takes notice of that but also seems like a general theme at this place. read more

TLDR: worth all the hype, must reserve, best pasta I've had in California I am naturally skeptical of influencer/TikTok places but Cento deserves every shoutout and more. First of all, you must snag a reservation. And then get the corn agnolotti and the vodka pasta. Both pastas were so flavorful - I can see some people saying it's too salty or sweet but I like my pastas overspiced. I would also ask the server to bring out both pastas at the same time. We got the corn one and then the vodka one 15 minutes after we finished the first one which I thought was bad timing on the restaurants end. Otherwise, no complaints and I hope to be back! read more

WOW WOW WOW!!!! This place has officially made it to my top places to eat. The flavors of the pasta really got me having a ratatouille moment. My friends and I ordered the most popular dishes, sweet corn agnolotti, beet pasta, and spicy pomodoro. My favorite is the sweet corn agnolotti as the sweet and savory flavors mixed so well. I wish the dish was a bit bigger, but no complaints as I was sharing between 3 people. ｡°The ambiance is gorgeous and it's a great place for a girls night or date night. Service was great and if you're seated at the bar, you're able to watch the chefs cook which is really neat. Best believe I will be coming back here soon!! read more

The service was quick and the server was friendly. I would recommend booking a reservation! Looks like there was some street parking, but there is a valet. The outdoor patio was pretty.

Reserve tables ahead of time! Valet parking available. Blown away by the pasta. Came for my mom's birthday, and we still talk about the corn pasta. It was so decadent and creamy. We also had the beef tartare and octopus as starters, and the banana tiramisu to end. Creative flavors all around. Though unassuming from the outside, the restaurant vibes are very unique and modern, with a beautiful center tree that brings the place together. Sitting under it felt like a vacation.

Cento Pasta Bar - SWEET CORN AGNOLOTTI - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here for dinner on a Monday night and it was pretty busy, and it made sense after we finished our meal! Parking can be a little tricky, but we ended up finding a parking spot in a nearby neighborhood and walking over. There's plenty of seating outside and some inside, and it never felt too loud or hectic. I had a reservation, and we were seated inside promptly. Our server Devin was amazing - friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations. We ordered a drink each (the rice + rose was Devin's recommendation for me, and it was delicious), steak tartare, gem caesar, charred octopus, spicy pomodoro pasta, and cavatelli finocchio pasta. It was really cool to see the chefs cooking right in front of us, and the food came out quickly. Everything was delicious, but the cavatelli finocchio pasta was the standout for me. The portion sizes were also great. A little pricey, but the overall experience and the food made it worth it to me! I even took some leftover pomodoro pasta home and shared it with a friend, who loved it and asked where I got it from. I would definitely come back again! read more

Cento Pasta Bar is one of my favorite places in Los Angeles when I'm craving really good pasta. The pasta here is always delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.

Have been dying to try this place and so glad I did! Located in a quiet part of town with pretty dark streets and hard to find parking. I loved eating outside with the giant tree and string lights. The spicy pomodoro is what everyone raves about but I surprisingly thought it was a little overrated. Instead, the sweet corn agnolotti blew my mind. The little pockets exploded in your mouth with this sweet and savory corn flavor. The creamy sauce paired so nicely. I could've eaten a whole plate by myself. The banana pudding tiramisu was the most unique tiramisu I've ever had. Must try for sure. read more

Cento was really solid overall. The salad had a bit too much sauce but still tasted good. The crudo was super small but flavorful. The tartare was great -- no complaints there. The spicy pomodoro was perfect, and the sweet corn ended up being my favorite dish. It's creamy and a little heavy, but fine if you're sharing. The filet mignon was slightly salty, and the potatoes on the side were just okay. Good meal, would come back. Just don't bring a cake for a birthday. There's a cutting fee PER person read more

Came here for the Infatuation LA x Chase Sapphire promotion and the food was great! There were 5 of us and we ordered 5 pastas + the steamed mussels. We weren't full after lol the portions were small and we waited about 1.5 hours no reservation on a Sunday. Not sure if I would come back but it was a good experience and the vibe was great! Really nice and curated decorations and a fun outdoor/indoor vibe. Steamed mussels: 10/10, this was the STAR of the meal for us!! We got it for appetizer and it came with open fire toasted bread. It was soooo good I still think about it. The mussels were steamed perfectly and the flavor was PHENOMENAL. I think there was sausage or chorizo in it as well but the sauce was AMAZING and SO FLAVORFUL!! We kept the broth the entire night and sipped and dipped it haha Spicy pomodoro: 9/10, this was our favorite pasta! So creamy with the burrata and not too spicy so it was perfect. Pasta was cooked well too and texture was good Beet pasta: 5/10, too sweet for us. I just don't think I would include beet and pasta, I couldn't tell if it was sweet or savory but it didn't quite work. Maybe an acquired taste. Carbonara: 7/10, not your typical carbonara but it wasn't bad. Pasta was maybe a little undercooked but the flavors were definitely there and worked really well! We just prefer a tradition carbonara. Squid ink pasta: 7/10, texture of the pasta was great and cooked really well! Flavors worked well together and it was as exactly as described. Not bad but not our favorite. Banana tiramisu: 10/10, soooo dreamy omg I still think about this haha. The proportions were perfect, not too much banana and not too much coffee flavor. The lady fingers weren't soggy and everything blended well together. Def recommend!! read more

The seating is quite small for any party under 3, and outside seating seemed to be the most ideal for a more private seating. Indoor seating is a kitchen bar setting unless you have a larger party. The food was okay. We came because we saw it was popular on TikTok for their spicy pomodoro. The Cesar salad is sooo good, super citrusy and has a good sharp salty onion taste. The spicy pomodoro was good, but nothing outstanding. It was actually a bit salty. The squid ink pasta was very tasty but the portion was way too small to fill up anyone's stomach. The sweet corn pasta was really good without the white cream surrounding the exterior. This was by far the most salty dish and not sure if it was accidental or their signature. The desserts (date cake & panna cotto) were not worth getting. The date cake had a lemon sorbet on top and it was not complimentary to the sweet caramel date cake. The cake itself also tasted like it had orange zest...the flavor combo just didn't work. The panna cotta honestly tasted like dishwater, im not sure if we got a bad batch but we took one bite and left it as is. Overall, everything just tasted a bit salty for my liking. The food is okay but not worth going again. read more

Pasta is pretty good, flavors are more unique compared to other places + cute outdoor patio. There's also the option of counter seating inside. Overall it's a cute spot for dinner! Spicy pomodoro ($29) -- Really good! I wouldn't say "spicy" but there's a bit of a kick and overall it's seasoned and flavored really well. The ricotta on top is amazing and it tastes really good mixed together. Beet Spaghetti ($29)-- Didn't like this one. It's sweet and very heavily beet.... if beet isn't your absolute favorite vegetable in the world then this is not the dish for you. Very niche audience. Comes with ricotta too. Sweet Corn Agnolotti ($28)-- It's unique and I'm glad I tried it but wouldn't order it again. It's like elote x pasta hybrid. Carbonara ($32)-- Classic and very good! Creamy, salty, with a beautiful runny yolk. Banana Pudding Tiramisu ($16)-- AMAZINGGGG just order it. It's so good. Outside patio seating is cute, but bring a jacket. Parking is hard for street parking. Valet is expensive I think $12-14 something like that. read more
