West Adams Welcomes New Cento Raw Bar Focused on Seafood and Artistic Design
Cento Raw Bar has officially opened its doors in West Adams, Los Angeles, on May 12, 2025. Located adjacent to the popular Cento Pasta Bar, the new establishment aims to provide a seafood-centric dining experience in a uniquely designed environment.
The raw bar is conceptualized by chef Avner Levi, who has crafted a menu that emphasizes high-quality seafood dishes. The culinary offerings include seafood towers available in two levels at $83 or three levels for $97, alongside items like hamachi crudo, lobster melts, caviar sandwiches, and squid ink noodles. Guests can also enjoy a range of creative cocktails, including a playful twist on the classic Screwdriver using SunnyD and a traditional piña colada.
Enhancing the dining experience is creative director Brandon Miradi, known for his work on projects like Vespertine and the Bazaar at SLS Beverly Hills. The restaurant features a trippy and visually captivating design inspired by nature, rather than traditional nautical themes. The interior showcases curving walls that mimic a Mediterranean cave, created using stucco and meringue aesthetics. A centerpiece of the establishment is a three-sided, seafoam-green bar, complemented by tall white chairs adorned with metal backs patterned like a snail’s spiral.
Additional design elements include rounded pillars, a blue-tile floor mosaic, and pendant sconces reminiscent of iconic 1980s fashion. The overall atmosphere is designed to encourage guest interaction with each other and their surroundings, further enhancing the casual dining experience. Custom-made utensils and plates contribute to the theme of artistic engagement, while even the restrooms feature sculptural toilets imported from France.
Cento Raw Bar commits to a walk-in only policy, fostering spontaneity among patrons looking to enjoy an imaginative dining experience without the need for reservations. Chef Levi intends for the menu to evolve with the seasons, utilizing local Southern California produce to ensure freshness and variety.
Open seven days a week, Cento Raw Bar invites locals and visitors alike to explore its unique combination of exquisite seafood offerings and eclectic design. Operating hours are from 5 PM to 11 PM, making it a versatile option for evening dining.
This new addition to West Adams not only aims to satisfy seafood lovers but also promises a fun and immersive experience for anyone seeking a break from conventional dining. Through inventive dishes and a stunning ambiance, Cento Raw Bar seeks to stand out in Los Angeles’s vibrant culinary scene.
