Why Cento why was this picked

Cento on South Third Street was opened as a tribute to the 100th Cameron Mitchell restaurant. The dinner menu includes a rolled lasagna rotolo with Bolognese and Robiola cheese and a pasta that the kitchen spins fresh daily as a chef's selection. Happy hour runs 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday at the indoor and outdoor bars and high tops. Valet parking is offered daily from 5 p.m. to close for $12 a car, and dinner runs until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

  • Tribute to the 100th Cameron Mitchell restaurant
  • Lasagna rotolo with Bolognese
  • Weekday happy hour 4 to 6 p.m.

Know before you go

Cento in German Village lists Beef Carpaccio with stracciatella, truffle, potato, and chive on the dinner menu. It is fourth on our best beef carpaccio ranking for a neighborhood Italian plate instead of a steakhouse opener. South Third Street energy makes it an easy date-night stop.

Happy Hour applies at indoor and outdoor bars and high tops only. Confirm gluten-free friendly notes with your server if that matters for the table.
