| - The husband and I stopped here for dinner before catching Jersey Boys at the Overture (see my other review for that!). We not only had a gift card for Food Fight restaurants from Christmas, but we also had two coupons for free appetizers. On that note, I highly recommend signing up for their e-mail club if you know you will be going here for dinner in the future. Free appetizer coupon just for signing up, and other coupons sent out periodically.
One of our appetizers were the bacon wrapped dates. They were good-- sweet, carmalized and smokey. However, I didn't enjoy the sauce with it as much as I hoped. Too much sauce and not enough of it would stick onto the bacon to really get a good taste. Our other appetizer was brushetta, which is on special during their after-work and late-night happy hours. Highly recommend this appetizer. It was a large slice of fresh bread piled high with our choice of pesto and pulled pork with arugula. So delicious and easy to share.
For our main course, I got the papardelle and my husband got the casarecce. Both were good pasta dishes and good prices for the amount of food you got. I wish we had been able to take leftovers, but going to the show afterwards kind of put that option out of reach.
Because we had a gift card, we splurged for dessert with the apple & cranberry bread pudding. Out of all the things we ate that night, this was my favorite. It was perfect sharing size, warm from the oven and sweet without being too sweet. The candied walnuts were a perfect addition.
If you want a fancy night out, or maybe just a cocktail and brushetta with friends, I definitely recommend Cento.
