    Food was decent, but a little overpriced. There was only 3 of us but we were charged a mandatory 20% tip. Also, we had 3 spiders run across our table, and then we had to ask to be moved to a new table. I don’t think I would recommend.

    The place was nice, the service was great but the food wasn’t very good. Thanksgiving turkey was too dry. It was way overpriced.

    Love Central Market! I have loads of food allergies, everyone there is amazing and willing to work with my dietary restrictions. Lupe, the hostess, was very pleasant and David, our server, was excellent. This is our go to favorite place.

    I always love their food but felt the pasta wasn’t Al dente as usual. I didn’t say anything. House white was delicious! And macarons too.

    I've been dining at Central Market for 15 years. Always a very pleasant experience. Your tastebuds will be dazzled by the handcrafted delights ~ housemate pastas, sausages and pizzas. Good wine selection and great desserts. The staff is courteous, friendly and attentive. At times, the chef will also stop by and check in with customers. Try and get reservations as it's often fully booked.

    Once again a fantastic meal under the brilliant talented chef/owner Tony! The striped Bass was delectable with a delicious sauce that went perfectly with a side order of roasted vegetable! Will be back very soon!

    Very delicious food. We go there often and pretty much have had all the Menu once already. The menu changes a bit to use the fresh seasonal foods. You can taste the quality of the local food. I'm begging to think their a fusion of the old recepies from the Owner coupled with the cooking Academy the Chefs may have there. It's the best Ital-American food I've tasted. Undoubtly, the Best food in the aera. When I miss my time lived in Roma & Firenze, I go there for some food.

    First time here and food was really quite good. Sea Trout crudo was fresh and accompanied by perfectly pickled cucumbers. Gnocchi with lamb neck ragu was exceptional. And Quince Pie with fruit from my excellent server’s own tree. I do wish the wine by the glass list had more local Sonoma options…I’ve always felt farm-to-table should include beverages when possible. Loved the vibe of the place including what appears to be an original market serving bar.
