Reviews for Centini in Calgary, AB
Absolutely fantastic Italian restaurant. We visit every time we?re in Calgary. Service is perfection, cocktails are fabulous... (best cosmo I have ever had) and the food?. Oh my goodness - AMAZING. If you don?t order the handmade veal tortellini somethingis wrong with you, it?s sooo delicious. Read more
Upscale vibe, table bread was nice, spring salad was fresh, all pastas were a bit underdone...just 2-3 minutes more would be... better. Marinara sauce delicious. Service started strong then our server disappeared and our service was eventually completed bysomeone else. Read more
We came for a celebration of a milestone during a weeknight and ordered the king crab/prosciutto sushi, crab salad, duck breast,... and lobster ravioli. In terms of the appetizers, the sushi rice was a bit too soft and too much of a focus for the sushi roll.It sometimes drowned out the fillings of the roll but where you are able to get a combination of the prosciutto and king crab,it was very flavorful and you can taste each of the components together. The crab salad was tasty but did not feel it stood outsince - I do not remember anything specific from it. For entrees, the duck breast was nice and tender but at other times, couldbe a bit too chewy. The accompanying vegetables were nicely done. The lobster ravioli was the star - it was creamy & herby andhad a good amount of lobster filling, cooked to a soft melty tenderness. The ingredients used in each of their dishes were freshand good quality. Our server was friendly and professional. Overall, this is a bit of a pricier meal but would be a nice placeto go out to for a celebration or work function. Will be back at some point to try other items on their menu! Read more
Went for our anniversary. Thought it would be special and nice experience. We had a reservation, but our table wasn?t set up or... ready. Staff were not that friendly. Decor inside needs to be renovated. Very old and outdated. Food was mediocre. Wouldn?t goback Read more
Pretty good lunch. Bread was yummy, caprese salad was really great. Parpadele with wild boar ragu was also yummy. Olives were... like from a jar and tiramisu was coated in cocoa powder, nearly choked on the first bite. Read more
We have wanted to try Centini forever! Finally we pulled the trigger for our anniversary! We were blown away with every aspect... of our experience! Our server, Shama, was friendly, knowledgeable and very fun! She recommended several wine choices only afterwe had chosen our appetizer and main courses. Everything paired very well together! The food was amazing. We started with thepan seared calamari puttanesca with white wines! Then we had entrees: seafood risotto and beef short rib ravioli! Again, wetried different wines! For dessert, we couldn?t decide so Shama recommended the share platter of three. Now, unlike manyrestaurants, when doing a shared platter, the sizes are miniature compared the regular dessert. Not at Centini. We receivedthree full size desserts. They were delicious. They included lemon tart, carrot cake and crème brûlée! At the end of themeal, we asked Shama if she would take our photo and she suggested a spot other than our table! There is beautiful arteverywhere and we loved the photos she took. Centini is 5 star all the way. If you have not experienced it yet. GO! Read more
