Chef and Staff on vacation August 28-September 4th
The New Italian Kitchen is a celebration of old-world slow-food techniques with the inventiveness and style that says Italia. With an eye on tradition and a respect for the most beloved Italian dishes, Cenzino blends the best of the old with the best of the new.
We explore the rich gastronomic culture of Italy with local produce, organic meats and new flavor palettes. Executive Chef Fredy brings the best of his experience up to date–for example by offering Gluten Free pasta–while retaining the charm of from-scratch slow-cooked osso bucco, now-rare handmade pastas (ravioli, agnolotti, tortelloni and tagliatelle to name a few), and house-made tiramisu, ricotta cheesecake and crema cotta.
Refined contemporary restaurant offering upscale, locally sourced Italian fare, wine & cocktails. Based on 242 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.4 stars. Price $$$

The food here is consistently well executed . They are a little pricey, well worth the trip. Our waiter is always professional, friendly and accommodating, which you do not found in many places now, and is well versed on the menu. The atmosphere is plain but warm and comfortable. I just feel it needs a little pizzazz, but overall a enjoyable dining experience, especially for a special occasion. They treat their customers as special guests.

Wonderful delicious amazing food!! Wow, everything is so well made. From the appetizers, to dessert, nothing bad about it. Make sure to have the chocolate cake, so smooth and rich, it’ll be gone before you know it. The rack of lamb was a punch of flavor, wish there could be more vegetables, but so good

Came here for the first time tonight for dinner with a party of four, they offer valet parking which was great. When we got inside we we’re greeted right away by the host and seated,the dinner was amazing, our waiter knew all of the specials and always kept our drinks fresh, the owner is very friendly and courteous and checked on us several times, we ordered several appetizers and four main courses, all of the food was delicious and fresh. We ordered the blue point oysters, new zland mussels and fried calamari for appitizers all were delicious. The staff was very friendly and courteous. Prices are very responsible. We had the pleasure of meeting the chef who was very nice as well as the owner and his wife.Will definitely be back.

The Angry Food Critic (Dom)
Sitting here right now i was hoping the food would live up to the reviews. Sadly i am so disappointed the food is below par. I could have cooked better. I feel like a starter crew made this. I dont know what went wrong. The pictures speaker for themselves. I honestly dont know what happened because this is not the quality i expected. The only thing is their own seltzer. I do not recommend here. The prices aren’t accurate because i was charged two dollars more for cake then posted. I was charged for table water as well. Ive been around reviewing restaurants for awhile i know a good one when i see one. A little rude however the server checked to see if the money was in the while it was on the table. Next time take the money holder with you then do it.

Last minute night out on a Tuesday night. There was ample (self) parking. We did not have reservations but were greeted by hostess with a smile and sat without issue. The restuarant has been renovated since our last visit and looked very nice and updated down to the wall sconces. Service was great and we were not rushed which is one of my biggest peeves. The scallop special that was recommended by our waiter was wonderful. We will definitely be returning.

The food was average at best. We ordered zucchini blossoms, they were soggy even though fried and tasteless. My pasta was in a sauce that tasted more like chicken broth than Italian sauce.

I attended a private luncheon the food is excellent and the staff was amazing under a rush of near 100 people. I loved how happy the servers were, as they answered every request. This is a hands on family restaurant they care.

I’m very sorry I forgot the name of our waitress. She was wonderful. She also was very helpful in helping us decide what we wanted. Which I very much live when someone who knows the menu very well. Thank for a great time
