Casa Cento in Milton Keynes

Where do I start… decor and atmosphere, nice feel to the restaurant, staff were great and very attentive! food wasn’t amazing, came out suspiciously fast! microwaved pasta, bland carbonara, definitely not authentic italian food, toilets were dirty! not a great experience, expensive for what it is

Service was impeccable and food came out very fast. Food was very mediocre and the carbonara tasted of just hot water, not taste at all. Staff were so lovely. Everything did feel slightly rushed and the food was suspiciously quick so makes me feel like it was microwaved.

Great restaurant excellent food and ambiance and service outstanding. Nice environment so yes great place highly recommended .

Took the wife for a Tuesday meal out which explains the atmosphere score but dear oh dear I know bruchetta has tomatoes in but this was a stale piece of bread with far too many tomatoes and nothing else, I had pizza which to be fair was good but the wife had what can only be described as microwaved lasagne . Staff were friendly but overall a poor experience and won't return.

Always excellent food and service! Highly recommended.

Zara the restaurant owner was a marvel as the host. He made sure that what we wanted was never too much for him and his staff. He even made a special chilli customized for My meal. Great guy

Lovely cosy family type Italian restaurant. Some Google reviews rate this the best Italian in Milton Keynes, and I can see why. * (It's actually in Stony Stratford) We were able to walk in and secure a table for two, but I'm guessing it's best to book ahead. Fabulous customer service from the time we arrived to leaving. The staff were really good and seemed to enjoy working there. The menu was extensive, and it was really hard to choose 2 different starters and two different mains. We were not disappointed. Food was fresh, hearty, well presented, and delicious! Not a criticism, but the deserts we selected could have been nicer, but no way am I downgrading any of the ratings. It's a 'must return' place on my list.

We had a delightful experience here. The service and food were great. Booking was straightforward and our table was waiting for us when we arrived. For starters we had meatballs and the arancini, for mains we both had the fruits de mer, one as a risotto and the other with spaghetti. All the dishes arrived hot and were beautifully cooked. The risotto in particular was a delight, not overcooked nor 'crunchy', it was just right. Service was attentive without being overbearing. The restaurant was probably about 80% full while we were there. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Good vegetarian choice. We had lovely desserts as well. The lady who looked after us was brilliant. She was so kind and helpful. She made our experience at the restaurant very pleasing. I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday meal with my family and will definitely be back again.

My first order online with these guys today and they couldn't have been more helpful. I love their food but now I know they deliver happy days!! Thanks guys, I appreciate you.

Location was ok . Food was shocking. If you are ITALIAN stay away. You won’t enjoy , has nothing is Italian rather than the name.

Tasty food and highly recommend!

Can’t actually comment on the food as we didn’t go. Used the online booking system to book? Got auto response saying request received but needed to await email confirmation of booking. Got no reply, emailed twice and was ignored both times. Shame because we had been before and it was nice. But if they can’t be bothered to confirm the booking they have lost us as customers .

I came for lunch and dinner during June 24 . The food , ambiance and service were excellent and I would highly recommend to anyone who loves great Italian food and service . We were frim Australia visiting family in Stony Stratford , we had such a lively experience that we wish this was a restaurant local to us ! Locals are very lucky to have this restaurant on their doorstep.

Amazing beautiful restaurant nice waiters nice everything was very good definitely will come again

Excellent service, warm Atmosphere and tasty dishes!

Emma was a superstar the food was amazing gotta try the gambroni was stunning

Love this place, amazing Italian food.

Brilliant staff and amazing food. Always the top restaurant in stony

Wonderfull staff and delicious food ,will definitely return again

Steaks are amazing Clean, nice and healthy place

Casa Cento is the best Italian restaurant in Milton Keynes. The menu is full of old time Italian favourites and some unique dishes that the team specialise in. We love to take the family here on the weekend and we are always welcomed with such friendly service. Stony is a lovely village too so you can browse the shops and make a day of it. I can’t recommend Casa enough.

Good food Good service It can get fairly cramped inside at peak

Friendly staff, children's menu available, quick service

Enjoyed the meal very quite while we were there

Lovely food - perfect end to a nice afternoon. Atmosphere was good and service very friendly - can’t wait to visit again!

Yet again another great experience eating at Casco Cento celebrating my birthday with my wife and friends. Lovely touch of putting a lit candle in my New York Cheescake and singing Happy birthday to me. with the other diiners. The service was excellent,very attentive with attention to detail. The quality of our food was suburb. From the time we walk in until the we left was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this Restaurant 👌

We visited on a Saturday evening at 6pm, despite being told we would only have our table till 8pm our drinks order was not taken till 22 mins past 6 and food order not taken to 6:38pm. We had to ask for more drinks. The waiter was at times rude and dismissive. Garlic bread was burnt and rock hard. Mushroom starter was swimming in sauce which made the bread soggy and tomato soup lacked seasoning and was served with hard ciabatta. Food was at best average and as a large table of 9 people we were all a bit underwhelmed as we had come the year before to celebrate a birthday and had a much nicer meal.

Such a lovely restaurant, very authentic food and atmosphere. Food is delicious and staff very attentive. Enjoyed every aspect of it

Perfect food and service. Will be back soon.

Great food, Great place, Great atmosphere

Over rated and over priced . Trying to be Italian but not quite cutting it . A lot better out there and with cheaper prices . Don't think I would dine here again

Great meal, fantastic atmosphere

Amazing meal, lovely staff, authentic Italian, great privately owned restaurant. We will definitely be back soon!

Definitely our favourite 'go to' restaurant for Italian food. Excellent food, fantastic atmosphere, and nothing is too much trouble for the very attentive staff. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Great food and very professional and friendly staff.We will definitely be visiting again and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who likes proper Italian food.

Staff were so lovely! Such a nice atmosphere for a family dinner or dinner with friends. Would definitely recommend the food is amazing!

great food, great atmosphere. recommend to everyone for some great authentic italian food !!

As locals we feel the standards have slipped. We went just before Christmas and were made to feel unwelcome and rushed. Main course came within 5 minutes ordering. Partners meatballs were cold and tasteless, my dish resembled a kids meal with small thin slices of sausage cut into four small pieces, both mains served in a cold bowl and the meals were both obviously microwaved. Asked for the bill and it came within 60 second. Basically, get em' in and get em' out, we need the table Sent two polite emails but had no reply. Needless to say we haven't returned.

Took my sister here for a birthday meal. The food was delicious. Portions were a good size and reasonably priced. A great selection of drinks too. We were made to feel very welcome, staff were friendly, funny and polite and couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely re-visit in the future. Thank you :)

Delightful staff, amazing food and a beautiful clean restaurant which is tastefully decorated. Would highly recommend.

Love this place, the food is amazing, staff are great

Best italian restaurant in town. Food is amazing, great atmosphere, fantastic and friendly staff. I cannot recommend Casa enough. Will definitely be coming back

Amazing!! We went to pizza express first and the waitresses ignored us in the door so we left and headed to Casa Cento - family friendly, fantastic service and delicious food! Would highly recommend! Good value for money also!

such amazing food!! service was unreal would recommend to anyone

We had a quick lunch before going to the cinema yesterday. What a surprise! All the food we ordered (Arancini Rugu, Pollo Funghi, Casa Sofia) were so tasty. We were very happy to find risotto on the menu as it is no longer available in The Italian Sul Lago. Will try other dishes with my friends shortly.

My husband and I found this place when searching for something to eat near by, after looking at the menu we went in and got sat down straight away. All the staff were so polite and friendly. The food not only was delicious but the service was quick. The food tasted exactly the same as it did in Italy if not better. I would definitely recommend this place to my family, friends and anyone else.

We dined here as a family of 15. The service and food was fantastic, we tried a variety of dishes and everyone was happy with their choices - there's something for everyone on the menu. The kids meals were good and generous portions. The staff were really attentive and friendly and they were great with the children. Couldn't fault it. Highly recommend for a family meal but I will also go back as a couple or with friends to enjoy some cocktails too.

This was it first trip here but surely not the last. We were a disfunctional table of ten whom the front of house staff managed admirably. The menu is extensive and we ordered across the board ie seafood, pasta, lamb and everything arrived simultaneously cooked to perfection. The wine list was also spot on and altogether very good value for money. Nice one folks, see you soon.

Lovely Calzone and the Panacota was delicious

Lovely experience, great food, great service. We enjoyed this place and will be certainly going back again. The missus is Italian and the food was faultless, to her standards when it comes to Italian dishes. Happy wife, Happy life!

Great food, lovely service and class atmosphere.

We only ordered main courses and these took at least 30 mins to arrive. I was not impressed with my dish . My partner enjoyed his

Very welcoming and good service. Excellent food.

Lovely evening with great food. Staff were so Friendly and helpful. Georgia was our waitress and was amazing.

Was a very quiet night so no problem being seated . Quick service but food was only average . Very watery sauce on 1 dish of pork with parma and the mash was a strange consistency . Not the best Italian we have been to

Best, fresh pizzas. Speedy service and such lovely owners. I would 100% recommend

We have visited Casa Cento few times over the last few months and as always, our last visit was perfect. Food and service - at the highest standard! Wet professional and super friendly. Looking forward to the next dinner out with my family!

Absolutely fantastic restaurant, great service and amazing food. We popped here mid week and were greeted with a very warm welcome. The staff were very friendly and had loads of options for me too as I am celiac. They really knew there stuff. The restaurant looks lovely and is really nicely decorated. The food was cooked fantastically well and was quick to be brought to the table. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and I would recommend this place to everyone.

It is a Lovely restaurant, the service and food were very good indeed, I loved the interior design which enhanced the atmosphere, I went there with two friends and the afternoon was brilliant. I had the Arrancini to start, the seafood as a main and Pannacotta to finish...delicious. Thoroughly recommend the restaurant.

The pasta was really tasty and the service was excellent! Since it was a bit clustered, the customer next to me kept coughing at my face 😑. Spoiled it for me!

A quick stop here whilst staying in the area for a business trip. The reviews online were excellent, so I selected Casa Cento as my choice for dinner. Very friendly and efficient service. The Arancini Ragu starter was excellent, and the tomato sauce was perfect. I opted for a pizza as a main course, it was huge! Big portions, very tasty and overall a lovely dinner.

We booked several weeks previously and provided a list of starters/mains. The food was served with little delay. It was hot, well cooked and well presented. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We could not fault anything. Many thanks to all at Casa Cento for making it such a memorable day.

First visit with friends, lovely atmosphere, great food, service professional, prompt, helpful and discreet. Would recommend.

Naming a restaurant with an Italian name and listing Italian dishes on the menu is insufficient to establish an authentic Italian dining experience. It's important to know that this isn't an italian restaurant! Also the elevated pricing becomes even more pronounced when the dish's quality aligns more closely with fast food offerings. Avvoid! Maybe they are trying but with bad results. I just want to forget that very bad experiance. As Italian I am annoing to see so many place like this one.

The food here is unreal, genuinely the best Italian I’ve ever had. Atmosphere is really lovely and the staff are amazing and friendly

Visited Casa Cento for my brother-in-law's birthday meal as a family. The entire experience was fantastic. The food was brilliant and enjoyed by the entire table with zero complaints and only compliments, the starters were delicious but the Calzone as the main was arguably the best, lightest, and most delicious I have ever eaten. Absolute credit to the staff and chef at Casa Cento, particularly Emma our waitress who gave service with a smile and great humor, credit to Casa Cento. Will be visiting again for sure.

What a lovey place, can't believe we've only just found it! A warm friendly welcome, super friendly staff and fantastic food. There was also a lovely lively atmosphere, not to loud but just right. We will definitely be back! Thank you

Ristorante pulito, ordinato e carino. Ho mangiato polpette al formaggio e la pizza Speck. Le polpette non erano male, il troppo pomodoro copriva leggermente gli altri elementi ma nel complesso era buono. La pizze aveva aspetto e gusto come quella italiana, unica pecca la pasta un po troppo morbida e solo a tratti croccante sul bordo. Però una buona pizza, il gusto era buono e mi ha soddisfatto. Il servizio impeccabile: gentili, presenti, professionali. La Location comoda (parcheggio sulla strada di fronte al ristorante).Vino Malbec squisito. Ci tornerò di sicuro.

The food was lovely and the service received here was exceptional. The waitress was very accommodating to dietary requirements and helped alter some dishes to dietary preference. Highly recommend & great location for such a cosy restaurant.

Every mouthful was truly amazing. My starter gamberoni was perfect. Lasagna was out of this world, the best I have tasted in years and that includes Italy. Partners starter (chicken livers) looked wonderful and he said it was stunning. Calzone smelt and tasted great. Staff very friendly and genuine throughout our visit. Only bad point was not enough room to try a dessert.

1st time visit so review taken on the day, very noisy venue could not chat to accompanying friends without raising your voice. The table service was very good, and did not feel rushed which I liked. The decor was very tidy and had a nice cosy feel, perhaps a little snug between tables if I was to be honest. When they were serving the food on table opposite, the waitress was actually touching our table so it is snug in places. The food is average compared to other Italian restaurants I have been too, my Calzone was at best mediocre and was not the best I have had, but it was well cooked. The menu stated it was spicy, have to say it was not so a bit disappointed. The drinks like beer and wine were a tad on the pricy side, but the coffee was great. As for Deserts for those that had it I did feel that almost £8 for ice cream was a bit steep, as was a wine glass with Panna cotta for the same price, pretty but worth it?

Me and my family had a lovely dinner at Casa Cento Stony Stratford. The food was absolutely amazing. Service was very professional and polite. I highly recommend to anyone who would like to try authentic Italian food.

Great place to have some authentic Italian food, good vegetarian options and the staff were fantastic, I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Staff was friendly but food wasn't that great

Excellent food would recommend to anyone great service and food was lovely the waitress was friendly and helpful all 3 courses were spot on and reasonably priced

Fantastic restaurant. My wife and I went on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Service was beyond compare (and I never give 5 stars). Food was excellent. Will definitely return if ever in the area again.

My wife and I don't eat out very often. Maybe twice/thrice per year; and one of those times is to celebrate my wife's daughter's birthday. We always allow her to make the choice, and this year she chose the Casa Cento Italian restaurant in Stony Stratford. What a crackin' good choice!!! As I say, we don't go out much, but this restaurant really was 11-out-of-10! They have an extensive menu: enough to cater for all tastes, from vegetarian to fish, to shell-fish, to meat. My wife had a pizza, which she didn't know would be *huge*! Her daughter had a vegetarian risotto with side salad, and I had lamb shank. That had been slow cooked so the meat fell of, and it was bedded on mashed potato and green beans, with a crackin' gravy... superb! Definitely go there again. My advice, for what it's worth - try it! You won't be disappointed!

Our family had such a fantastic evening at Casa Centro recently. Everything was faultless. The food and service were both exceptional, Definitely recommend this lovely Italian restaurant in Stony Stratford.

Delicious and well presented food, great service and atmos. Small and intimate.

My new favourite restaurant. The food was amazing. Lovely atmosphere and great service. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

great food great service thank you Mia you made us feel special Thank you

Had a lovely meal here last night, first visit to casa Centro, had heard good things and it was great. Really friendly staff, small cosy restaurant and beautifully cooked Italian food. We had arancini , muscles, garlic bread, pizza, steak and spaghetti Bolognese. All great! Highly recommend a visit!

Delicious, well presented food. Amazing customer service, even in the face of a busy restaurant! Comfortable atmosphere. A strong recommendation.

What a fabulous Italian restaurant here in Stony Wonderful food and glorious service and so accommodating for people like me who want to spend all evening there enjoying an easy a slow meal and a bottle of wine. Reasonable price too

Lovely food I had their pizza and it was so tasty, a proper italian pizza which took me back to italy when I visit family. Very authentic and such lovely people who serve and welcome you. A great family feel, whilst feeling it suits all occasions. I was lucky enough to get a parking spot right outside on the road, No issues at all! Highly Recommend.

Family birthday meal with 11 of us, we were treated brilliantly. Food was superb and all came out together. Highly recommended

Heard good things about this place. However, four of us visited, two had the same pasta dish for mains and said it was nice but more like a starter portion. I had. Picante Calzone. I have never had such a bland pizza ever. I even removed the crust and eat just the inside and it was still bland. Not sure if the people running the place are Italians but certainly lack the service I’ve experienced in other Italian restaurants,not once during the evening were we asked is everything is ok. Very quick in clearing plates and offering desert menu, which was actually again pretty poor. Ice cream with a bit of topping. Probably ok for a party place if you are not too bothered about the food or half decent service but otherwise I would give it a miss

Managed to get a reservation nearly last min on a sat night. Food was great and big portions, service was good too, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great local Italian with great food and friendly service. Well worth a trip.

Four for early dinner before a show. We were welcomed and shown to a table. The place was clean and well run. A shame about the loud group of ladies having a birthday celebration near to us which made it hard for us o chat. But (a) that's not the restaurant's fault and (b) they were not behaving badly, just a bit loud. Fair enough. The service was excellent and so was the food. This would easily be a 5 star review apart from the drinks prices. I can never accept a charge of over £3 for a bottle of Coca-Cola that they probably bought in for no more than £1. A mark up is of course fair enough - but not that much.

Good atmosphere. Staff very good

Visited this place on a Friday night last weekend with a friend and loved this place. Good atmosphere and really friendly service. Very busy but a nice vibe. I had a nice pizza with a side of brilliant fries - good wine selection too and not over- priced will return next year. One small gripe was that were given a time limit on our table as we hadn't pre-booked - I always hate being rushed - enjoying a meal should not be timed - it smacks of an element of greed by the proprietor trying to cram people in. Otherwise a good choice.

Food delicious and not a long wait for food which suited us all as we had young children today. Very friendly staff too.

Lovely restaurant nice atmosphere and friendly staff, food was very tasty I had calzone and mushroom starter, my only improvement would be more spice to calzones and an option of draught beer rather than bottled beers. But overall would recommend.

Lovely Italian restaurant. Very attentive service and good food. They make really tasty pizzas. Definitely worth trying out.

We had visited this restaurant last year and it was good to be back. The food was as good as ever and it was also pleasing to see the standards have remained as high as before as so many restaurants seem to change between visits. The service was good and this is a value for money eaterie; we shall be returning soon.
