Cento Osteria — Italian Fare on the Embarcadero
Mushrooms, ricotta, tomato and cotto on a puffy, blistered crust at Cento Osteria.
Chef Donato Scotti is on his way to building a Bay Area restaurant empire with the addition of his fourth establishment — and first one — in San Francisco.
Cento Osteria on the city’s Embarcadero joins the others in his Donato Restaurant Group: Donato Enoteca in Redwood City, Cru wine bar in Redwood City, and Donato & Co. in Berkeley.
His newest opened in May. My friend Ben of the blog, FocusSnapEat, and I were invited in as guests to check it out recently.
The dark wood interior gives the dining room warmth while its walls of windows give it airiness.

Chef Chris D’Andrea, formerly of Saison and Eight Tables, both in San Francisco, heads the kitchen.
