Italian German Village $$$$
Cento
Cameron Mitchell Italian on Third Street with caretaker hospitality, a wine-forward room, and German Village brick. Worth planning around.
Awards
Why Cento why was this picked
We booked Cento for pasta and wine in the brick storefront and treated hospitality as part of the product. The room feels curated rather than interchangeable fine dining. It suits deliberate German Village nights via German Village when Italian hospitality is the point. It is a practical Columbus pick we would send a friend to without hedging.
- Italian hospitality in a village storefront
- Wine and pasta for a deliberate night
- Curated room, not interchangeable fine dining
Know before you go
Cento is the Cameron Mitchell Italian room we book in German Village when dinner needs intimate Italian cooking rather than a sprawling trattoria. Dinner runs nightly with a later Friday and Saturday close, and happy hour covers the bars and high-tops Monday through Friday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. It suits date nights and small celebrations that want a reserved dining-room seat.
Valet starts daily at 5:00 p.m. for $12; patio tables stay walk-in only when weather allows. Reserve the dining room ahead and keep the cancel window in mind. Start with our German Village page for the surrounding streets. Then compare other special-occasion rooms on our best unique dining experiences list. Confirm details on the business site the day you go because posted schedules change.
