This luxurious downtown restaurant was one of the city’s hottest tables when it opened in 2003. The restaurant’s modern Italian take on fine dining and the front end have only improved with age. Innovative and consistently well- executed food and friendly, professional service rule in this contemporary-style dining room, which is filled with an eclectic collection of important Canadian art, including pieces by Riopelle and Pellan.

The sleek main dining room is complemented by two additional rooms that can be closed off from the crowd, a feature which helps keep Centini a favorite haunt of the city’s corporate players seeking privacy. A stellar meal deserves a stellar wine, and Centini’s collection of labels is a match for any dish here.
