    This was our first visit to Cento and we were very, very impressed. The decor is very elegant. We ate in the back room which reminded us of a "gentleman's club"...intimate, dark, welcoming. It does need more sound proofing as it was difficult to hear the 4 people at our table. Aside from that, all else was superb. The wine list and cocktails was excellent. Our server was beyond superb. He was extremely knowledgeable about the entire menu. He described all the specials in amazing detail, and could further describe any item on the menu, as well as help competently with wine and cocktail selections. The food we were served was also scrumptious. The beet salad was devine, very thinly sliced red and golden beets with goat cheese and a citrus vinaigrette. The Caesar salad was excellent. For our main entrees, I had the halibut special that was prepared perfectly. The special ravioli was also scrumptious. We passed on dessert as we were way too full, but the choices looked great!
