My wife and I did the works - shared antipasti, shared salad, pasta/secondi and dessert - all excellent, with manageable portions (the emphasis on huge portions is way overdone in the US in our view). Our server was charming and very attentive, with support from a hostess, runners and a pleasant Manager. It's an elegant space. What was unexpected was the cocktails, way above average. My Old Fashioned was one of the best I've had in years, my wife had a nice Sangiovese, and their house made Limoncello was molto bene. We're from Chicago where there are many world-class restaurants. Cento Madison could hold their own in Chicago.
