Get Treated To A One-Man-Show Experience At This Rustic LA Pasta Bar

The small space inside Downtown Los Angeles’ Centro Pasta Bar has a rustic, and romantic vibe that seems reminiscent of a tiny, old world kitchen, where you would expect to see a single chef using original recipes to create amazing cuisine.

In a way, Cento Past Bar, which shares its space with Mignon Cheese & Wine Bar a few days a week, is just that, and much more. Operating as a veritable one-man show, Cento’s chef, is a jack of all trades, preparing meals, cleaning dishes, and entertaining his guests.

Meet Michael! The newest Cento team member. He and Avner (@glutton_ish) met while cooking together at Bestia. He’ll be behind the pasta bar cooking Wednesday- Saturday. Stop by and say hello!

Inside, original curated artwork lines the walls, as the smell of fresh baked bread fills the entire room. A long, rectangular bar outlines the small cooking space, set in the center of the dining space. Still, the aura of Cento doesn’t exist without the extraordinary quality of authentic Italian dishes being prepared within its four walls.

It’s the extravagant dishes like Cento’s beet spaghetti, served with bright red, beet soaked noodles, topped with goat cheese and chives, and the handmade gnocchi with pesto sauce, or the mushroom, sausage and truffle pasta, that are just solidifying agents that pay homage to Cento’s commitment to deliver fine Italian dining at casual prices.

Once you arrive, pull up a seat and tell the chef FOODBEAST sent you.
