Cent'Anni

This is a surprisingly spacious restaurant with the back patio lit by candles.
The handmade pasta is delicious- I got the tagliatelle with mushrooms.
Their seasonal pear fig gelato was amazing! The waitresses were so helpful and prompt.
Highly recommend!

Surprising find in the middle of Brooklyn.
While the restaurant is small, their back patio is covered and a great place to enjoy a nice evening dinner al fresco.
We asked for extra bread with the steamed mussels, and the sauce did not disappoint! Ate so much bread dipped in the mussel wine sauce that I barely finished 1/3 of my generously portioned squid ink pasta with calamari.
Their lamb pasta is very good, too! It's definitely a must go if you're in the Flatbush area.

Had brunch today here for the first time and must admit the service was pretty pathetic.
We ordered the bottomless brunch which was barely bottomless because the server was nowhere to be found when we needed to order more drinks.
I work in hospitality myself and Ive worked many brunch shifts and I know a busy shift when I see one and it was NOT busy.
There was a server a bartender and runner on the floor but the server just took our order and barely checked in on us.
She then promptly decided to give us the check without asking if we needed anything else and said we couldn’t get more drinks cause our time was up.
She didn’t ask if we wanted dessert tea coffee NOTHING.
Just dropped the check and walked away very nonchalantly.
Keep in mind it took us 10 minutes to get our first drink which was a mimosa which takes less than a minute to make.
Also since the server was nowhere around we couldn’t order as many drinks as we wanted because we had to wait to get some service.
I don’t know where they hired this server but she was not efficient and not hospitable at all.
I would totally understand the wait if it were packed but it wasn’t.
I’ve had dinner here several times and the service was always great so this was really disappointing.
