Centovini is the spawn of high-end design store neighbor, Moss, and restauranteur Nicola Marzovilla (owner of I Trulli).  Drink and eat with stylish cutlery on a magically rubbery table that indents when you push it. If you’re that impressed you can go next door and buy one for around $40,000.  Chef Patti Jackson, who used to work at Alto, favors seasonal and locally grown produce.  Our preferred selections from the restaurant week menu were the Beans and Pancetta, followed by the Shortrib, and concluding with the Panna Cotta.  These were all expertly prepared, and quite tasty. Some things we didn’t like: Being charged $5 for both bread and olives that we didn’t order, and knowing that the usual three course Prix Fixe is $38.  Three dollars off for restaurant week?  How generous.
