"Crown Heights, especially Franklin Avenue, continues to surprise me thus when my friends asked me where I wanted to dine for my belated birthday, this is the neighborhood I chose. Cent 'Anni* offers a rustic setting with wooden tables and high stools, a cozy well lit bar, booths and a spacious outdoor garden. We dined in a booth and must admit we got off to a little rocky start: the appetizer plates were dirty and there was a napkin on the floor under our table. The explanation given was we rushed to seat you . which didn 't make sense since I explained my other friends were running a little late). Cent 'Anni boasts homemade pastas and a delicious ragu sauce. They do offer a nice wine list. I was looking for a light white wine that was similar to Sauvignon Blanc and chose the Radicchio and my friend ordered the Grillo, both were dry, a tad sweet and excellent choices. The server allowed us to try both before ordering. We all ordered pasta dishes: Chicken parmigiana: two friends ordered this and enjoyed it immensely, generous portion of chicken and spaghetti. Spaghetti and meatballs: one friend compared this dish to what your nonna would make. Eggplant Parmigiana: my dish was a.. disappointment.. The eggplant was mushy and bland but the spaghetti was delicious. Desserts: the tartufo was delicious with vanilla and chocolate gelato in a dark chocolate shell. The tiramisu was equally delicious. My friends and I all agreed we definitely would come back. There is a Happy Hour during the week so this would be a great post work spot. Cent 'Anni is a great neighborhood Italian spot that will become a regular destination for my friends and I. *CentAnni means a toast to live a hundred years Let 's hope I live that long to toast. Lol!"
