Cent'Anni brings a soulful slice of Italy to a leafy corner on Franklin Avenue in Brooklyn. This local haunt serves handmade pastas like silky gnocchi and hearty lamb ragu that feel like home. The narrow dining room feels cozy while the hidden backyard patio offers a lush escape for dates. You will find large portions of chicken parmigiana that satisfy even the biggest appetites during weekend brunch. The kitchen focuses on fresh ingredients and honest recipes passed down through many generations of the family. Locals love to gather here for affordable carafes of wine and great bowls of rigatoni under candles. It is a charming neighborhood gem where the music is soft, and the atmosphere stays very relaxed. This spot makes you feel like a regular guest the moment you step through the front door.
