Cento

I wish there wasn't loud music playing in the background. It was hard to carry on a conversation with table mates.

Did not disappoint. We had the special Lobster Ravioli. Amazing! They need to add that to the menu .. I would definitely go back.

Food was ok, service was absolutely horrible. I’ve never been to Wisconsin before so I planned a weekend trip with my hubby. He picked this restaurant and made a reservation for brunch. Our waiter seemed to avoid us as much as he could. I went the whole meal without a drink, we ordered a cannoli and he brought it to us to-go. Seemed to just want us to leave so he didn’t have to work. Very disappointed and do not recommend

3rd time dining here. The food was excellent. I brought my mom tonight before our show at Overture and she loved the place. When we come to Madison for a show, we will be making Cento our go to restaurant.

Cento has a great ambiance and respectful servers (even if hard to audibly understand due to gutteral speak,) lovely menu selection, including wines, appetizers & dessert & convenient Downtown location. The prices are "Madison normal" (high.) But the food IS very good. *recommend*

We went to Cento for brunch. Their Boozy Brunch for $35/person was a great deal. I was very underwhelmed by my entree and the ambience. There wasn’t any fun background music on, especially for a Saturday on a nice day. The service was okay—our server seemed to become irritated and upset during the middle of our dining experience. She was accommodating as I ordered the Breakfast Negroni and did not like it, and then exchanged it for a different cocktail. However, that happened to be the time when she became fed up. Anyways, the Black Coffee Manhattan and Lemon Capri were amazing. Highly recommend both for brunch cocktails. The Cannolis were also some of the best I’ve had. My entree was the Crab Cake Benedict that I didn’t care for too much. I would pick something else on the menu unless you’re in love with crab cakes. Overall, I think they could create a better atmosphere that is more fun for both the customers and the employees to be in.

The food and service at Cento was top notch. Sophia was our waiter and was so personable and knowledgeable with the menu. Our entrees were delicious along with the wine, appetizer, and dessert. We will be back!

Food delicious, atmosphere perfect and service outstanding.
