“Right from the day it opened, Cent’ Anni has been a tearaway success story for West Cork. Emma, Christian and Annika started with a soft opening that quickly became a spontaneous street party in little Durrus village and, over three hectic years, the team assiduously built on that rapturous reception to become the local restaurant of everyone’s dreams.
Ostensibly, Cent’ Anni is a pizzeria – they themselves modestly call it a “pizza place” – and Christian’s pizzas are first-class pies, crafted with care and an outsized imagination which will see him turn unlikely staples like kleftiko or chilli con carne into truly satisfying pizzas. But the menu offers other classics – a fine lasagne; excellent chicken parm; a pasta bake with Gubbeen cheese - which means that Cent’ Anni somehow manages the impossible: it is the destination restaurant for everyone, from toddlers to grannies, from date night couples to the endless stream of party groups who book out the upstairs room. If you ever drive into Durrus after 5pm and wonder why you can’t find anywhere to park your car, the answer is that all those happy folk are all eating in Cent’ Anni.
The customers come from far and wide because they know that the secret sauce of Cent’ Anni is that you are going to have a great fun evening, an evening where everyone will enjoy themselves mightily, thanks to great food and superb service. Cent’ Anni has become the social glue that Durrus village needs, and Durrus owes the restaurant a great debt.
