"The West finally delivered an Italian restaurant that was worth it. I went there with a few friends and oh boy it was worth it. The pasta was fresh, the calamari melted in your mouth. The tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had. Found my new hang out! Congrats to everyone involved at CENA. It’s a yes from me."
