"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."

"The BEST BESTEST Tiramisu! Delightful dining experience with their exceptional Tiramisu. Pizza - Satisfying blend of flavours with a crisp crust."

Rukshi Dominic

"Busy Saturday night service; however, considering there was well over 100 people dining, the service was extraordinary. From the moment we walked in we received exceptional service. Our waitress was so attentive and quick. The food was fresh and delicious. Everyone had such a great time and was super impressed. So nice to have a quality restaurant like this in the west. I can’t wait to come back!"

"Cena was a delicious experience. The service and attention to detail was excellent. I don't normally eat dessert, however couldn't resist the tiramisu, which was home made and to die for. I highly recommend this restaurant."

Jenny

"Highly recommend this restaurant. If I was a local it would be my regular. The Italian food was amazing, full of mouth watering flavour and good serving portions . The service you could not fault. Jordan, his son Connor and their staff were very friendly and professional."
