Centonove

Pictured here: summer appetizer of grilled peaches and burrata with a honey🍯 drizzle. If you haven't tried Centonove yet, you are missing out! Now that you know, I may never be able to get a table there - it will be so crowded. 😂 The food is outstanding and service is always on point My favorite dish is the Fiocchi di Pera. 😘

Wow, what an incredible find! I've been living in Los Gatos for quite some time now and thought I'd tried every restaurant in town, but somehow I missed this gem! The service here is top-notch—fast, efficient, and super friendly. And let's talk about the food—absolutely fantastic! We kicked things off with the antipasto platter, which was loaded with deliciousness. Then we dove into two pasta dishes: the classic bolognese and the cheesy truffle pasta. Both were out of this world! And don't even get me started on dessert. We indulged in the americano and tiramisu, and let me tell you, that tiramisu was hands down the best I've ever had. Bravo to the chef! I'll definitely be coming back for more!

We have been here a few times. Fantastic food and great service too. We have tried their bruschetta, pesto pizza, pizza pera, fungi pizza so far. All have been excellent. They have great quality burrata and bread.

Don’t go any further, you’ve arrived at one of the best Italian restaurants in the area. While some of the restaurants we either closed at 7:00pm or very slow, this one was buzzing with customers. It took some time to get seated, and boy was it worth the wait. They went out of their way to accommodate us with a great outdoor space, amazing team service. Despite how extremely busy they were, they still smiled, were attentive and quick. Just before closing they had a group of sixteen guests without reservation and they were welcomed in. The food was delicious, well priced and we liked it so much that we went back two days later for lunch.

Hard to find a place with really good food, really good ambiance and really good service (thanks Casey). We have been here a few times, but always forget to come back bc it’s on the other side of Los Gatos. Last night we came here bc we were in the mood for Italian and it was definitely a good choice. It was a nice night, so we sat outside. They have a nice patio with lots of heaters. Our server was Casey and he was so nice, so knowledgeable and very attentive. At one point, he brought us extra bread bc we were waiting too long for our entrees, but honestly the hubby and I were just really emersed in great convo that we didn’t even notice. The first batch of bread is $4 but so very worth it. We each started with a cocktail and dove right into the special app which was burrata with figs. We then corked a bottle of wine which was $25 (average) and then had our entrees. The hubby ordered Casarecce Arrabiata and I had the Rigatoni Stacchino; both were DELISH! Afterwards we each had dessert which consisted of two scoops of ice cream. Total for the bill post tax but pre tip was about $140. We didn’t order it this time, but their pizzas are also VERY good. If you can’t decide, just order it as an app and share. Side note, most of the servers make their own drinks at the bar so thank you Casey for being a great bartender AND server. You are awesome. Parking is easy. There’s plenty of smaller lots and side street parking. Can’t wait to go back.

Lovely food, solid service and a nice cozy place. What's not to like? Pasta, Pizza, Wine - everything was thoroughly enjoyable. And we had a great server, who made it all, a little bit more special.

They are still killing it! The pasta is AMAZING. It is worth going here alone just to focus in the food. They switch up the menu to make it all the more worth coming back for the new dishes. They have fresh warm bread, heavenly dishes, and great service. They have indoor outdoor seating. The waiter was so great about getting us the perfect bottle of wine to compliment our pasta. It was a great experice.

I recently dined at Centonove and it was an exceptional experience. The Prosciutto E Melone appetizer was a delightful blend of flavors and textures, paired perfectly with honey and pine nuts. For the main course, the Tagliatelle Bolognese was savory and satisfying, but the Fiocchi di Pera was the star of the evening. The combination of pear and asiago in a gorgonzola cream sauce was masterfully executed and wonderfully balanced. Accompanied by the Italian 75 cocktail, the meal was an extraordinary treat that satisfied both taste and aesthetics. Centonove is definitely a must-visit for anyone seeking an elevated dining experience without the pretension.

Centonove has become a really special place for my wife and me. We’ve celebrated some of our most important moments here—our wedding rehearsal dinner, our anniversary dinners, and many other special occasions. Every time, the food has been outstanding and the atmosphere has made the night feel memorable. The staff always goes out of their way to make us feel welcome, and the service is just as impressive as the menu. It’s the kind of restaurant where you can count on both a great meal and a great experience, which is why we keep coming back. Centonove will always be our go-to for celebrating life’s milestones.

I had a most grand meal at Centonove the other day. Bolognese pasta is one of the dishes my group and I enjoyed. We had it family style along with other pasta dishes and a nice charcuterie board. My group also enjoyed the amazing mocktails and wine. Everyone there is so friendly and wants you to have a good time. This is the second time I enjoyed dinner here. I love this place. And the prices are reasonable. "Centonove" means one hundred and nine. I can probably think of one hundred and nine reasons why this is an excellent place to dine.

This is an awesome place! We stopped to use the restroom and they had barstools available for five of us!!!!!!! Although, the entire place filled up quickly. A small issue arose and the manager, well she immediately corrected it with gentle kind words and saw to it that we were happy. And boy were we! The drinks were beyond great and the food, oh the food! It was served with accuracy and paced properly. Every bite was good. We were going to skip the pizza but could not resist. And it was well worth it. Good, drinks, atmosphere, great management, great staff, great food. It’s the whole deal. GO!!!!!!

Shelly provided excellent service. She welcomed us immediately and gave a lovely recommendation for red wine. She was cautious with my gluten allergy, even with desert, and the GF pasta was the best one had at a restaurant! Food was delicious, restaurant had a nice ambience, and perfect for an impromptu date night in LG. We definitely will be back and hope to see Shelly and her warm personality again!

I about love this place. I came in my with my 3 year old daughter last night and we shared a pizza and ice cream. The pizza was incredible, the best in Los Gatos in my opinion. They had a watermelon strawberry, arugula, salad special which we got; perfect summer salad. My daughter got the caramel ice cream and she loved it. The overall experience was top tier, highly recommend.

Friendly hosts, good food, good vibe. The restaurant is busy at Friday night, so reservation is highly recommended. This is our second time visiting this restaurant, we will likely come back again in the future.

Food was delicious, but overpriced considering the small portions. Service was solid, atmosphere was great, presentation was excellent as well. That being said, I can find similar quality food at a much more affordable price, so I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return.

Boutique style Italian restaurant. There are both in door and out door seating. A good mix of wine. The staffs are all super friendly. Other than the pizza is a bit soggy, the rest of the food are amazing. The calms are fresh, juicy and meaty. The octopus is tender.

Service and atmosphere was good. Food was just ok! We ordered 2 pastas amongst several other things and both pasta were very very salty.

Mediocre food at best. Cocktails are pretty bad. Salad with pretty fresh, but other items were very average.

I was not impressed at all by this restaurant. The interior had limited seating and nothing was open so we sat outside. The Caesar salad. Salad was excellent, but I was quite disappointed with the chicken piccata. It was tough and bland. I went to this restaurant based on reviews, but I would not recommend it. Service was good.

Amit Peer

Nothing Italian about the pizza or the pasta. Thick "bready" pizza daugh with much too much sauceand zero crunch. Aglio e Olio pasta with no garlic (?!) The soup and salad were nice, but this is not why we have entered an Italian restaurant.

Very rude behavior by one of the waiters to a PAYING customer. 1 star. Stay away if you have kids. Here is a hint "Don't talk to me laudly from a few tables away. Rushing us of a table because our kid couldn't wait to eat". As can be seen from my 100s of reviews, I don't give 1 star reviews lightly or often. Given there are lots of other good establishments here in Los Gatos, I recommend you also take your business to one of those. My original review below... 5 stars Such a surprise treat. We loved the food here. The pizza was very well made. The samon was nicely seasoned and the side dish tasted awesome. Friendly staff. We will come back here.
