Contribute Feedback What Ken Wong likes about Cento Osteria:
November 18: Tried brunch and the risotto cake was tasty. Also sampled the vegetarian ravioli. Great pasta. Would come back again. August 18: Enjoyed a great dinner here on 8-17-18. Our server recommended the salmon belly mousse on polenta. That was delicious. Tried the margherita and the salametto . Both were excellent. Crust was nicely cooked with good crunch and texture. Shared the squid ink pasta and the papparde... View all feedback.
This is an italian-style restaurant in a great area (Embarcadero) in San Francisco. Considering the area, the freshness of the ingredients and the good cooking quality, prices are OK. I really enjoyed a fresh and well prepared sea-bass and, despite the dish comes with too much potatoes for my taste, the tenderness of the fish meat compensated it. The personnel is very cordial and the atmosphere relaxed and discrete without presumption. I definitely recommend it and I will return if the occasion arises.
Service is really slow... Took us a long time to get our main course. Took even longer to get our 2nd drink (the aperol spritz arrived after we were already halfway done eating), so the server said that it was on him. Atmosphere is OK, somewhat original.
This place opened last week and is already packed. Love the open space. Great wine list. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Food is excellent. Get the cacio e Pepe! And be sure to save room for dessert!
This new spot on the Embarcadero is excellent and I anticipate it becoming my usual haunt after this. Location is great with a nice but not over the top atmosphere inside and available outdoor seating. Service was great, almost verging on a little too attentive. Most importantly the food was delicious, it was well presented and rich without being overly heavy. The menu calls out the specific region each dish originates from and the waiters were very knowledgeable in making great recommendations. Seeing that they have a happy hour from 3:30-7pm is also a little dangerous, I'll definitely be back there soon.
Went here for lunch on a week day! Patio seating is also available. Great for small or big groups. I ordered grilled squid, pasta and pizza. Everything was delicious and the hospitality was excellent!! I will definitely be coming back for dinner!
