Lovely restaurant (looks nicer than in the photos!), delicious food, and kind and attentive service. We have traveled a lot in Italy and live in New York City, so we are particular about Italian food and restaurants. We were pleased to find Certo and recommend it for those who appreciate authentic Italian cooking. Our group tried the Neapolitan pizza, pastas, a lamb shank osso buco and all was good!

The food is fresh, well prepared with a nice, clean presentation. Everything on the menu is tempting (must order the pistachio home-made ice cream, to die for). The service is over the top with attention to every small detail. Everyone is pleasant and they make you feel like royalty. The atmosphere is laid back and cozy. This is a neighborhood restaurant, yet it competes with the best anywhere else. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it because you get it in quality. A gem. We recommend it and will definitely return.

During our recent visit to Certo, we were assisted by Ariana, who, along with the general staff, provided commendable service. The food overall offered good value, highlighted by an impressive charcuterie board featuring speck, bresaola, taleggio, and parm, accompanied by olives and roasted peppers. While the taleggio was too strong for my taste—certainly an acquired taste for those who enjoy a stinky cheese—the other elements were delightful. My pasta carbonara, though flavorful, could have been served warmer. Despite this minor hiccup, other dishes like the Frutti di Mare Pasta, Chicken with Sundried Tomatoes and Mushrooms, Osso Buco, and the uniquely delightful pear-filled pasta with white sauce were amazing. The house Pinot Noir paired well with our meal, and the garlic rolls were a delicious start. We also enjoyed the octopus with grilled veggies as an appetizer. While we didn’t try the pizzas, they looked fantastic and are on my list for a future visit. They ran out of the berries with cream dessert but were rewarded with a layered chocolate cake and panna cotta. Overall, Certo offers a satisfying dining experience with a few areas for improvement, particularly in the temperature of the dishes served.

The service was excellent, the staff was very attentive and kind. The food was okay, not bad but not great. I have the cacio e Pepe with truffle and was very disappointed because it had no truffle flavor. My husband had the ribeye which had decent flavor but he ordered it rare and it came medium. The octopus appetizer and pear raviolis were out favorite dishes of the night.
