    Happened upon the outside posted menu of the restaurant while visiting the German Village and was intrigued. Got a same day reservation. The experience was no less than brilliant. The ambiance expertly crafted. The staff exquisitely attentive and as a cook myself, the food was jealously fantastic. Hope I can visit Cento again soon!

    Another awesome Valentine’s dinner provided by the Hyde Park staff. Everything was 6⭐️ once again. Special thanks to Ashley for her wonderful service. She took very good care of us and it was truly appreciated. We shared a chop chop salad and an order of the calamari. The lobster bisque was delicious as was the surf and turf. My filet was cooked just as I requested and the lobster tails were very nice, My wife enjoyed her sea bass. No room for dessert unfortunately however the cheesecake was tempting. I did close the evening out with a nice cappuccino! Thanks for another awesome Hype Park experience! Well worth the trip from Zanesville! We'll be back for our anniversary in July!

    Our dinner was delicious! We both chose the filet and shrimp. Everything was cooked perfectly. My sister's dessert was a flourless chocolate cake that was incredibly rich. I ordered the banana chia seed pudding, which was flavorful. The service was flawless!
