cenci’s pizzeria & bar

cenci's atmosphere is warm and inviting, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious! we're looking forward to going back again soon!

pleasant experience. was in cenci's this past weekend on saturday. after not having been in there for a while, i was very impressed with the improvement of both the service and the food. ate dinner in the dining room with family and ended up hanging out at the bar afterwards with a friend. waitress always had a smile on her face and was very attentive, never felt like an annoyance. food came out fast and tasted really fresh. the menu has alot to choose from. very rare everyone in my family finds something they like at a restaurant. portion sizes were great leaving us with leftovers for lunch the next day. bar has a ton to choose from and was surprised to see the amount of seasonal beers in stock. staff was just as pleasant at the bar. all in all, i had a great experience at cenci's and won't let as much time pass between visits again.
oh, and did i mention that i've never been to a restaurant where both the bartenders and waitresses are all exceptionally good looking? just an added bonus- that's one lucky manager

if you drink enough you can eat here. i don't know how people are convinced bag lettuce and frozen chicken breasts are authentic italian and fresh. after reading reviews we ordered a large delivery order for a relatives birthday party and not one thing tasted fresh or good. the white pizza tasted like the lid had fallen off the salt shaker into the pizza, other than the bagged spring mix the salads were fast food quality, the chicken seemed like it was cooked a week ahead of time and microwaved, and even my eighty year old grandmother who is used to dried out food from when everyone worried about trichinosis thought it was dry and bad. the lesson here is get drunk at the bar with the rest of the young kids and you won't know the difference either. in response to cenci's response to me, unless one of the other romas has a cenci's sign and is about 500 yards from patron's this is the right one. in addition i don't want to wonder what is being done with my food if i identify myself so i wont be sending the address or order number. moving on, the chicken seemed like it was microwaved but this could easily be just cheap frozen breaded chicken breasts which tastes as fresh as the frozen zucchini, provolone, poppers, mushrooms, and all the other fast food quality frozen stuff that almost all of the romas have been using for years. lastly, i do love the roma recipes and did love the food before the quality got chiseled for pennies, but it is really lame to try to portray the food as fresh, home cooked italian. the reason for my post is to open your eyes that some people know the difference and that you would be ten times as successful as you already are if the effort would be made to make fresh food instead of cheapening everything a nickel at a time thinking nobody will notice. how hard is it really to make the cooks bread things fresh when they are standing around during the slow times?

decent food, poor service.... i ordered from this restaurant today and was pretty unhappy with the service. first the driver got lost on his way to my location. not usually a big deal, but stacked up with all the other annoyances it deserves a mention. then when he arrived, i found that i had been charged about four dollars more than i'd expected. i called the restaurant and was informed that not only were their prices significantly higher than on the menu but there is also a $2 delivery charge, which is listed nowhere on their menu online, their web site (which they claimed to have no knowledge of), or their physical menu that they included with the delivery.

the food is decent but not worth $15 for a half hoagie and some jalapeno poppers. if my workplace had a microwave i could make a comparable meal for around $5.

basically, if you're eating on a budget and can't afford to pay a lot more than you expect... you should probably avoid cenci's.

great food, nasty bartenders. i love any place who continues to serve food and beer right up until 2am. i especially love when the food is really-really good... but the bartenders here are the meanest, nastiest, stuck up people i have ever met! hello you work for tips!

i read a couple of reviews before going and was a little worried but i can eagerly say i loved the place. a bunch of friends and i ate there yesterday and had a blast. the team trivia on tuesdays is a blast. the pizza. was great, and service friendly. and to the person who commented on the kitchen being dirty, they have a closed kitchen you can't see into so you might have the wrong place.

bad service. i have been to cenci's a few times but that past two times i have been there have been the worst. the food is always very well cooked but the service is bad. my server, nickey, messed up my beer orders on numerous occasions and brought me the wrong dressing for my salad. i have felt like an inconvenience when i sit in her section. i would suggest making all of the staff look presentable, because compared to some staff members, some don't look as nice. all in all, i love the food but the service has been bad.

my daughter loves this place e so she told me and her father to try it out. we see why she likes it so much!! the food is amazing i got the lasagna which tasted great and was a huge portion and my husband got their cajun pasta and he loved it. we enjoyed our experience and plan to return soon

not great!. had pizza delivered. was burnt and had a ton of sauce. very average at best. maybe eating in might be better, but will get pizza elsewhere.

i think cenci's pizza is one of the best restaurants i've been to in awhile. the atmosphere is very friendly and i always feel at home whenever i eat there. the waitresses seem to know what they are doing, and the bartenders and are always eager to serve. on top of all the good service, the food is always quickly delivered and tastes good too. i recommend cenci's to everyone in the area.

da shizzzzz. this place is fantastic. the food is good. the atmosphere is fun. the tv set up is stellar. and the patrons are top class.

tuesday night they host 'team trivia' - with prizes! this is always a fun night. whether you are in the bar or restaurant - you can play.

for all penguins games (on tv), they offer $1 shots after each penguin goal. can't beat it!

greg k. is probably the best looking employee on their staff. if he were any sexier - it'd be illegal.

love the food! the wedding soup is the best around! the pizza is always my fav! the bar staff is great i have seen some new wait staff but they seem to be keeping up and doing a great job. tuesday trivia is always a blast!

not so good tonight. we've gotten take out pizza's from cenci's, probably 4 or 5 times in the past 6 months. we've also had drinks there on a number of occassions. generally pretty good and the bar staff is awesome. as to the dining room, i'm not sure if they've changed cooks or waitstaff but tonight was very disappointing. dining area was a bit on the dirty side. waitress was very nice but perhaps inexperienced? forgot to bring the salad and didn't warn us that the calamari is different from what is pictured in the menu. and i agree with another writer who thought the pasta sauce was tomato paste straight from the can. i'll probably continue with the take-out pizza but skip dining in the restaurant in the future.

slow and horrible service. waitress kept messing up the orders several times

blah. decided to try somewhere new for pizza in the n hills. heard great things but we were pretty disappointed. soggy pizza and canned mushrooms. yuck. maybe it's better to dine in??
