"I've been here several times and always love the food and atmosphere. For a Saturday night, the service was awful and the hostess tried to help. Usually I'm here on weekdays and its much better."

"The lasagna was great, as was the bow tie pasta with salmon that my lady had. Shared the artichoke hearts and also the shrimp for an appetizer. Portions were good size, probably could have gone without one of the appetizers. Very reasonably priced. Was our first time there, but may have already taken over as our favorite italian spot on the westside. We will be back."

"Centanni is a gem of a restaurant. Quaint atmosphere, great service, great food, great wine and drinks. Their wine spritzer and strawberry mojito are really good. Every time I go there, I am always happy with the food and service! The owners are great and always make you feel welcome at their restaurant. This last time, I had the prosciutto and burrata appetizer (yum!) and the vegetable panini (one of the best I have ever had!). GREAT PLACE!!!!!"

"We've been here a couple of times before and really thought the food was good and so was the value. Unfortunately, this time, everyone in my party thought the food was so-so at best. In addition, the specials were a bit overpriced for the quality. Not sure we'll go back and risk another not so good meal."

"the server was prompt and friendly and accomodated our dietary issues by adapting dishes to our allergies. I had a special branzino which was poached, a far better preparation than the usual panfrying which preserved the fish's delicate flavor and texture. Prices, including wine corkage, are reasonable. Highly recommended."

"After scouring Opentable, Yelp, and Google for over an hour, for a nice place to take colleagues for a business dinner that had a variety of healthy and delicious-looking food on the menu at reasonable prices, I decided to take a chance with Centanni. And am I glad I did. It was so outstanding that I returned two nights later with my husband and another couple for a Saturday night "date night" dinner. We'll definitely be making the trip from the South Bay to Venice to eat here again and again."

"Good solid food. Nothing to get super excited over but good food at fair prices. Brunch was good. Sausages and spinach was very good. Fish portion was a little small. Omelet was good. Had pasta for dinner a few nights later and it was good too. Good thats the word."
