Just Italy - Oakleigh East / CENT' ANNI Ristorante Italiano

Excellent Italian spot. Squid ink linguine was great. Ditto with the Bolognese. Very polite wait staff too.

Came here for a quick weekday lunch. Unfortunately-contrary to previous photos -pizzas are no longer on the menu.
Nonetheless the squid ink pasta and arancini were authentic and delicious.
Will be back to try other Italian favourites.

Went for dinner with friends. Food was fantastic. Service was perfect. Would definitely highly recommend this restaurant

We took our dad here for Father’s Day. It was a set menu with Antipasto to share. My main was a medium rare steak with mashed potatoes and red wine jus. The steak was cooked to perfection and the mash was absolutely divine. To top it off, I had a beautiful Tiramisu! It was a lovely venue and really attentive service. I was very happy how the night turned out given it was such a last minute booking. More importantly, my dad really loved the experience and food. Well done to the team!

I had my daughters First Communion at Cent' Anni and Giampi definitely went above and beyond. Giampi and his team ensured all our guests had plenty of food. Giampi made sure all dietary requirements were met.
For a memorable function, go see the team at Cent' Anni!

This little gem in a random location. Service was amazing, very personable and made us feel very welcome. The alacarte menu isn’t on the cheap side if that’s what you’re after but we had the set menu which was great value with 3 courses and a digestive drink for $49. Entrees were nice and tasty. The homemade shell pasta was one the best pastas I’ve ever eaten. The canola was just a little bland in flavour but the cake with sambuca was delicious. Management were very proud and passionate about their restaurant and were very pleasant to deal with and made sure our experience was a great one. I can’t recall the last time I had this level of service at a restaurant. Very nice decor, cosy intimate restaurant. Recommend you book and get there early as parking is limited.

Overall a nice experience, wait staff were lovely.
Only downside is parking is a nightmare (obviously not the restaurants fault)

Food was exquisite, and service was amazing! Felt like I was back in Roma. Would highly recommend for anyone, and can't wait to be back again. Thank you.

If you haven't been you are missing out.

Great atmosphere staff Gianni is just wonderful and caring and the food amazing.do yourself a favour GO.

Excellent authentic food and European style cocktails. The service is amazing! Family managed restaurant with an amazing environment. Highly recommended for a European experience

You’ll be silly not to come here. Food is absolutely amazing. Staff is unbelievably friendly. I’ll be taking all my friends and family here. Great food, great atmosphere will be a regular place I will be visiting. Highly recommend coming here.

Best Italian food ever in Melbourne!
Fine dining service, food and ambience at reasonable prices.
Ordered entree: lamb cutlets, scallops; mains: squid ink ravioli, Morten Bay Bug pasta and two delicious cocktails and dessert. 10/10 for taste!
The owner JP was an amazing host who made us feel like VIP guests.
We'll be back soon and no doubt regular customers!

If I could give more than 5 I would. Perfect little spot, perfect food and wonderful staff.

The staff are very helpful and attentive to your request but the food has lost it’s lust for life

An incredible restaurant with phenomenal food and service. It was an absolute pleasure to dine here and I look forward to returning.

My visit to the restaurant was very disappointing.

Last time my partner and I came here was 8 months ago, where the food was absolutely amazing and well priced. We got arancini balls for entree, followed by a cheesy gnocchi and a prosciutto pizza which were all brilliant.

This time around, we came in to be shown a menu of only 20 dishes along with no pizza on the menu. I’m sorry but an Italian restaurant without pizza on its menu is absurd. The lamb Ragu pasta tasted like a kids menu bolognese. Veals presentation was poor as it was just on the plate with some macas fries on the side.

Unfortunately won’t be coming back again.

Was treated to dinner here by a colleague wanting to share the authentic Italian dining experience. It didn't disappoint, and we were treated to a wonderful meal complete with the personal touch. A gem.

We had a lunchtime function and could not be happier with the service and hospitality. Giampi and Eliza were wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious and the ambience perfect. Thanks again guys!

When someone opens the door for you an greets "Buona Sera" your in the right place. Excellent food, great quality wine, busy atmosphere means its popular. I had the Gnocchi Scampi which tasted homemade. Grazie

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit here tonight. Had the seafood linguine which was so delicious and generous portion. Cocktails are great here. The restaurant was full yet it wasn’t too loud and still had an intimate feel. The owner is also super friendly and welcoming. It’s become my fave Italian restaurant in the area
