Centanni

Stopped by for the first time for a late lunch on Saturday after a day at the beach. We were seated immediately. There are a few small patio tables outside but we sat inside. The service wasn't rushed and we were given time to order drinks and appetizers before deciding on the entrees. Food service was leisurely which gave us time to enjoy our beer and beverages. The food was absolutely delicious! Our table ordered the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes, pumpkin ravioli with butter sage sauce, and a spaghetti marinara. . The chicken was moist and the sauce was flavorful. The ravioli was tender and chewy and the sauce was balanced with sweet butter and herbs. The marinara sauce was fresh and creamy. All portions were generous. This is a nice little neigjborhood spot for families and dates.

Quite laid back. Give yourself a lot of time before you see the food being served. By the same token, there is no rush to leave. The food quality varies - I have tried their steak with caramelized onions. The first time it was just right, but the second time around the cut was full of ligaments. I did like their potatoes a lot.

I crave the arrabiata pasta everyday. Cozy atmosphere and plenty of street parking make this a great choice in Venice. Limited beer and wine selection so we usually being our own wine and pay the corkage fee. Can get really busy so I highly recommend getting reservations on something like Open Table. This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Los Angeles.

I am long over due for this review. I've been coming to this restaurant for four years and I never tire of it. Its a favorite for my kids and me The food is superb, the service impeccable and the owners are absolutely charming and service oriented. I've brought my kids, dates and friends, all love the place. Its that kind of place, enough ambiance for a romantic dinner yet comfortable enough to bring friends and family. The steak stuffed raviolis are to die for. All the pastas are fantastic. The Burrata Bruchetta is incredible! The servers I've had are wonderful, Grant is the consummate professional and Renee is warm and inviting. All topped off by your gracious welcoming host Alex and Helen who treat everybody as friends coming to their house for dinner, without being over bearing. Love this Place!

Went in after kayaking on a Sunday at 430pm. This place was dead, we were the only ones; so Grant, the manager took very good care of us. My boyfriend got the aglio olio and sausage. He liked it, although he was confused and wanted marinara. With a side dish of marinara, he was happily satiated with his meal. I lobster ravioli and it was delicious. Nine small raviolis. Don't know how busy or good service is when it's busy. We enjoyed ourselves.

After spending the day on the beach with my wife, we Devon folk wanted something nice to eat. We found centanni whilst wondering back to our hire car. Friendly staff, excellent service and delicious food. I'm normally seen in the studios with my good friend James C and Anne H, (as seen on Tv) my pink arm reputation may not be as big as theirs but I was treated like a valued customer! Excellent. We will return!
