I took my Mother, mother-in-law, & aunt to dinner after the Shen Yun show at the Benedum We were welcomed at the door by Franco who took our coats & made us feel like we were entering his home. He proceeded to pour a few tastes of different Italian wines so I could choose the one I liked best. The night only got better from there!! The food, service, & energy was all fantastic!! We will definitely be back!!

Our dinners were excellent! I love the short rib and so glad to see it back on the menu. I have to eat gluten free and they are always very accommodating. The servers are very knowledgeable. It is "easy" for me to eat here and I have never had any problems after dining.

We had a wonderful time at Senti last night celebrating the end of our holiday with our sons. Chef Antonio was at his best. Everything was creative and delicious - grilled artichokes and entrees of squid ink pasta with seafood, veal agnolotti , gnocchi with guanciale & butternut squash. Holly didi a great job of passing the service of our meals and making sure that we had the drinks to accompany our meals. As always, Franco is a gracious host and we love how he makes everyone feel welcomed.

It was New Year’s Eve; often a challenge. But Senti did not disappoint. Service from Sophia was excellent - informative and timely. All six in our party rated their food very good: fettuccine with boar ragu, lasagna (as always) , salmon and the arrichino Cacio & Pepe and the artichokes were exceptional. Franco hosts the he lace graciously. We make a point to go 2-3 times a year; we may have increase our number of visits!

Senti’s is a restaurant we went to often before the pandemic. It was a treat to be back for New Year’s Eve. I had salmon, my husband the filet and our friends had lasagna and the boar pasta. We all loved our food. This restaurant gives attention to it’s food and patrons. The service was great. The wait staff was professional and attentive. I look forward to going to Senti again in the coming months.

Modern Italian at its finest! Great atmosphere, food, dessert, and drinks. Clean, and upscale, but not over-pretentious. Franco the owner was also greeter when we came in, and clearly cares about his restaurant and the staff was happy to be there and professional with attention to details, and interacted when needed.

Ambiance was excellent: quit, unobtrusive music in background, not too noisy, white tablecloths, etc. Service was excellent, with special kudos to the gentleman who greeted us (owner?). It's just that the food didn't live up to that high standard. It was GOOD, but nothing special

A fantastic meal at Senti last night. Chef Antonio brought his Brasata di Manzo back for the winter menu. The short ribs are so tender and flavorful over creamy polenta and red pepper agrodolce. Perfetto! We started with the grilled artichokes that were very tender and enjoyed his soup of the day, an authentic and robust Tuscan bean, sausage and cabbage mix. We loved our time with Holly at the bar. She makes sure we have the perfect drinks to accompany our meal.
