    Everything was wonderful but I would suggest anyone with young kids I put on the bar side away from the fine dining side. The child was yelling and screaming.

    We had an excellent experience at Centini. Since there was construction downtown, we arrived with a significant delay; when I called, the restaurant said they would keep our reserved table without a problem (even though they were very busy). When we arrived, we were asked if we had a show to catch, which was the case. There was a rush put on our order, everything was served quickly, and we had more than enough time to enjoy our meal. And the meal was delicious. My orange roughy was perfect, and my friend very much enjoyed her excellent spaghetti bolognese. Thank you for the outstanding service and delicious meal! We will be back!

    We were celebrating a birthday & going to the theatre. It was a wonderful experience. Our server was fantastic-a true professional, attentive but not in your face & very personable. The food was as delicious as ever. The decor is tasteful with gorgeous fresh flowers through out the room. We really enjoyed ourselves and will continue to make this our ‘go to’ restaurant when we are downtown.

    We had a lovely experience at Centini for our anniversary. When our server knew we were gluten-free, he offered to bring GF bread to our table. He also did not charge extra for this or GF pasta. What a delightful surprise to find they do a GF chocolate souffle! Although it was very busy, and a little noisy, we will definitely go back.

    Matt was so attentive Was aware we had a theatre production at 730 We never felt rushed Was able to accommodate my friend who can’t tolerate red sauce Was able to pack our food we couldn’t finish - large portions Offered to keep on the fridge for us The Meyers lemon desert - super tart and very refreshing (we shared that) Did not disappoint - was a very nice dining experience!
