Cento

We stopped by since we were in the area. Very lucky to not have to wait for a table. We ended up settle at the island inside where we got to see the chefs prepare the food. Inside seating is pretty much bar counter where you are in close proximity with other patrons. Seating in the patio area is the best bet if you are looking for more private table. We really enjoyed sitting by the kitchen and watching the staff prepare. It’s a pasta lover’s heaven. The two we tried were both unique and very flavorful. Strongly recommend a visit.

We ordered today’s special - ribeye 🥩but didn’t meet my expectations. Pasta is creamy and tasty. Love the banana pudding tiramisu, fun mixture of 🍌 and traditional tiramisu. Overall the ribeye is little bit overpriced as the meat quality is mediocre.

If you are looking for an absolutely fantastic culinary experience, head to Cento. The pasta along with everything else (even the desserts!) are made fresh in house every day. The owner is Persian, so there are unique fun flairs to some of the dishes that make them stand out. They have their own pastry chef that comes in to make their desserts every day, and one of the desserts even won an award from Food & Wine Magazine as “best dessert in the US”. Fantastic service, open kitchen, timed appetizers and extremely delicious food. It’s a hidden gem worth checking out! My friend commented that it was the best food she’s had in LA by far.

This is a very popular place as it was crowded well before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor sitting area was clean and relaxing. The dishes were innovative as the chef slightly modified traditional pasta dishes. For example, there were breadcrumbs in the Cavatelli Finocchio, which made the pasta a bit crunchy. The sweet corn Agnolotti was quite sweet. I am not sure if this place made its own pastas, but they do taste like freshly made and very firm. All in all the 4 pastas that three of us shared plus the dessert of Pavlova were decent, but the serving sizes were on the small side. The service was prompt as we were frequently asked if we were finished with our food (in order to seat more guests faster) and friendly.

A great pasta place where you can take your date to! Amazing vibe (I highly recommend outdoor sitting. It's beautiful), kind staff, and most importantly great food. I got their hamachi crudo, sweet corn pasta, and carbonara. They are all amazing but portions are relatively small. If you are an average man like me, you will find them not filling but tastes amazing! Great date spot! Definitely recommend
