Cent’Anni

Wonderful although very pricey (~16-18 each) cocktails with Italian spin (read: lots of herbals/amaro in the mixes). Dark super cozy speakeasy type environment. Beautiful menu and decor. Great cocktails. They have pizzas too if you're hungry.Only downside is that it is incredibly dark inside. I had to use my phone flashlight to see the menu and I'm a youngin' with good vision!

I really wanted to love this place. I gave it chance after chance, but the consistently bad customer service is shocking for a spot with such a great menu. Last night was the final straw. My party of three walked in, and the hostess immediately told us we'd have to "circle back" because her iPad wasn't working--no effort to jot anything down, even though pen and paper still exist. Fine, we offered to wait outside and asked her to let us know when a table opened. She rolled her eyes and said, "Okay."Then we watched two other parties walk in, wait inside, and get seated while we were ignored. Frustrated, we moved inside, only to see multiple open, cleaned tables. Yet the hostess continued to ignore us. After more than 30 minutes of waiting for what should have taken five, we walked out.As someone with years of experience in service, I'm shocked at the lack of communication and professionalism. This was outright disrespectful, and I won't be back.

It's a decent bar, but nothing standout. The space is quite small, so it can feel a bit cramped, especially on busy nights. The drinks are fine--not bad, but not particularly memorable either. For the quality, I'd say they're a bit overpriced. It's an okay spot if you're in the area, but not necessarily a place I'd go out of my way for.

This place definitely has the best cocktails I've had in Cleveland lately! It's an amaro-focused bar with a few light bites. Every drink I've had there has been interesting and fantastic! It's tucked down an alley off the main stretch of Little Italy - but they usually have a sign on the sidewalk to find it. It can get busy on weekend evenings, and it's first come first served, so I would recommend trying to go earlier rather than later.

Excellent premium cocktail venue in Little Italy. Expert bartender (Tanner) with a lot of talent - his riff on a White Negroni using mescal and green chartreuse was really complex and well done. Cozy, intimate venue -they plan to have a small outdoor area in the summer and also will be adding food items. Highly recommend great cocktails.

If ever a bar has started with a bang, Cent' Anni is it. Tucked away in a back alley in Little Italy, you'll enter the chic, dark, and sexy bar from the back of a retail building on Mayfield.Despite being a Friday evening, my husband and I were seated quickly, though at two little bar stools tucked away that were not super comfortable. Later when another table cleared we were able to be seated at a MUCH more comfortable two-top. Our server was quick to get us settled in and with drinks in hand. We got a Take Me to the Dolomites and a Blood & Honey. We also ordered a plate of the bread + oil, as well as the veggie ricotta bites. Both drinks were outstanding. I really liked how the blood & honey tasted as you sipped the cocktail through the wine float. The bread + ricotta bites were also very tasty, although, to be honest, $18 for the ricotta bites is highway robbery and so, while delicious, I won't be ordering those again.What I will be doing, though, is returning to Cent' Anni often!

Tucked away down an alley illuminated by string lights in Little Italy, Cent'Anni is a cozy cocktail bar/lounge with a modern, sophisticated, intimate vibe - perfect for pairs or small groups. My friend and I were able to walk in without a reservation on a Friday evening and it was pretty lively inside. The drinks are strong and spirit-forward, with unique and herbaceous notes. We had a great time, and I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere and vibes.

Cent'Anni is a still so new that they don't have a sign out front, so it was very quiet when we went in (it was quiet UNTIL we got in - we're those people), but I don't think it will stay that way for long. It's kind of around back in a little alley in Little Italy. The bar is dark, with funky tropical bird wall paper, trust me, it works, and a nice cocktail menu and extensive wine list. I had the espresso martini. It was strong, the coffee was smooth, and it had some foamy whipped cream on top that made it sweet, but not too sweet. We also tried some of the apps, and the appetizer menu is kind of cured meat forward. The charcuterie was nicely presented, and the ricotta toast was very good after I picked off the prosciutto. Both had dried cherries, which are one of my favorite cheese board additions! They're definitely setting up to be a great place to get a drink with a couple of friends. While they aren't advertising loudly yet, they probably won't need to after long!

That "house Old Fashioned" the bartender made me totally kicked me in the face! So glad I live within staggering distance!

DON'T CHANGE A THING, CENT'ANNI!This is what Little Italy and the east side in general needed. A sexy, high end, Amari-driven cocktail bar serving up the classics as well as modern spins. Yes, D. C., the drink sizes are a bit more conservative than BW3's. Sorry, you're not going to be able to get wasted off 2 martinis here. At Cent'Anni, it's more about the quality and the art of crafting the perfect cocktail than volume. The staff is knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning about their house made elixirs and homage to the bitter drink. D. C., maybe when you ordered that PBR, the bartender cried a little inside, and their melancholia shined through in their treatment of you. I feel their pain. The ambiance was perfect. Vintage looking crane wallpaper, dark walls, beautiful art, stained glass. Could the lighting have been a bit darker? Sure. Then D.C. wouldn't have had to actually see her unattractive date. But it was by no means, too bright. I'm the first one to notice lighting or the overabundance of such. On the way out, I commented to the hostess how much I enjoyed my visit and how I didn't know it was open even though I live right around the corner. She mentioned hoping word will travel. I can say, with utmost confidence, that won't be a problem. You don't have to advertise if you are that good. I would even go so far as to say you don't even need that sandwich board out front. Make people have to ask where you are. Really play on that "speakeasy" vibe you have going. Make people search for you. ----Years ago, I was in NYC and visited a very hard to find (on purpose) classic cocktail bar. No sign, no directions, it was down a flight of stairs, most would have given up. But for those that don't, they are pleasantly rewarded. Be THAT place. Be hard to find. Daring and adventurous. Be something that D. C. scoffs at, as she heads to Old Country Buffet. If you build it, they will come.
