It was very nice. We went on our first date at Cento, and now we’re engaged. First time back since getting engaged. We told the waitress and she was like whatever lol We liked sitting at the counter - fun to watch the chefs! Gem Caesar - amazing Meatballs - amazing Mussels - not very flavorful broth at all but bread was good Spicy Pomodoro - overall good, always feels like it’s missing meat Corn Agnolotti - amazing Cucumber Basil marg - amazing

Octopus: delicious. No complaints. Perhaps I was hoping for a bigger portion but good regardless. The squid ink pasta: interestingly flavored a little spicy. Not very strong in tomato flavor as I would expect. Tasted more like the north western cuisine of china. Duck confit: so creamy, buttery and tender. Must try. Outside patio is very cute and romantic. The establishment is smaller than I expected but very cute. Service: on time and caring.
