    Looking for a good Mexican food place in the area. Saw El Centro and stumbled in. The place was clean and inviting. The waitress Dawn was pleasant and attentive. Unfortunately that is where the 2 star review peaks. The food was bland at best and confusing most of the time. The chips and salsa looked good but tasted like an oregano seasoned marinara sauce. I love salsa of every variety and consistency but this was bizarre. My chili Relleno and cheese enchilada were perfectly ordinary but that's it. My date had the tostada salad which was underwhelming in both size and flavor.

    I've been eating at both of the locations (El Puente too) for many years, I have never had a bad meal. Not once. Nice folks.

From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the mood perfectly--dim lighting, warm and inviting, with Sinatra Christmas tunes playing softly in the background. It felt charming and intimate, especially welcome given the extremely cold temperatures outside. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking on us regularly without ever feeling intrusive. The cocktails were excellent and did a great job warming us up, which was very much appreciated. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried was rich and flavorful, with a standout Gorgonzola sauce that was truly delicious. The creamy burrata with pesto and balsamic was perfectly balanced, and the scallops were easily some of the most delicious we've had--cooked beautifully and full of flavor. Ristorante Ottaviani is such a comfortable, charming place to enjoy high-quality Italian food. A wonderful spot for a relaxing, special meal, and we're already looking forward to going back.
