Centonove is an upscale, Italian restaurant located in the heart of downtown Los Gatos. We are a gathering place for guests to relax, enjoy the food and drink of Italy, while they connect with friends and family. Our lunch and dinner menu offers traditional handmade pastas, gourmet pizzas and an extensive Italian wine menu--as well as Italian beers and traditional cocktails.

Centonove is looking for great people to join our small, family team. We are seeking candidates who take pride in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that represents classic Italian (and Los Gatos) hospitality. The ideal candidate has restaurant experience, enjoys engaging with guests--and most importantly--is honest, reliable and committed to representing Centonove.
