Mietta's Review
Centonove is stylish and relaxed, with an extensive menu and wine list to suit all occasions. For a leisurely breakfast, a business lunch or an intimate dinner upstairs, the passion for food and the warmth of hospitality flows evenly through sittings. The menu is Italian influenced with an interesting list of main meals and entrees accompanied by a range of well done pizzas fresh from the wood-fried oven especially imported from Trieste. Recommended.

Herald Sun Jane Hutchinson, "Centonove - that's 109' for the linguistically challenged - is a stylish package: two floors of charcoal-hued walls, gilt-framed mirrors, bleach-bright cloths and moody artworks. Tonight, its comfortably padded chairs are all occupied by comfortably upholstered eastern suburbs types."

Herald Sun Dining Out, Stephen Downes, 11/7/06 Score: 13/20 "You'll eat satisfying homely Italian-leaning food at Centonove, and the service and necessities of dining will be first-rate. For all that, the list is somewhat expensive for what appears in front of you. The wine list is extensive and has a good spread of fair prices. Six table whites and the same number of reds are available by the glass."
Herald Sun Eat Bob Hart 4/2/06 "But back to Kew and, specifically, to the stylish Centonove - it means 109 in Italian, the street number, to make it easy to find for visitors from Toorak. Anyway, my mate and I cruised past the former ANZ bank at just on lunchtime last week, as luck would have it. We parked and strolled back - entering beneath the elegant art deco sign. My meal began with as much flair as it was to continue"
