About Cent Anni Italian Restaurant & Pizza

Cent Anni delivers spirited Italian cooking in Oakleigh East, pairing blistered Neapolitan-style pizzas with hospitable, family-style warmth. Long tables fill quickly for milestones and noisy family dinners, anchored by plates of truffle-scented arancini and rigatoni with slow-simmered lamb ragu. The dining room runs on lively Italian energy, where the pizzaiolo tosses stretched dough overhead while servers discreetly bring out children's plates first to keep younger diners content. Evening service wraps over chilled Negronis, classic tiramisu, and house digestifs.

  • Family-first pacing: Waitstaff prioritize families by serving children's meals first, keeping table pacing relaxed and smooth.
  • Group celebrations: Large celebratory bookings benefit from hands-on host hospitality, adaptable seating, and generous shared courses.
  • Open pizza theater: Diners get an aerial show in the dining room as the pizzaiolo spins and stretches dough by hand.

  • Aerial Dough Spinning Display

    Diners enjoy traditional pizza craftsmanship right from the dining room, including the pizzaiolo tossing and spinning dough aerially in front of guests.
