Maybe the previous reviewer should return to Ceno, as I can honestly say its the most creatively served food, that tasted amazing!
Go and try it for yourself, but we go back again and again as there is no where to match it in Southampton.
Brilliant, and friendly staff, good service, nice atmosphere and great for both lunch and dinner.
Had a lovely Sunday roast at Cenos, we Googled best Sunday roast in Southampton when we couldn't get a table at the Toby. And boy glad this place popped up, much better in my opinion. The sticky lamb salad starter was incredible. And the roast was well up there too. The potatoes could have been slightly smaller and crispier, but other than that it was a mean meal. As it's only down the road from us we'll be sure to be back.
Delicious food and waiting staff full of kindness.
We went on a very quiet night but that didn't mean any compromise on food quality. We had a selection of starters for sharing and then one of the large sides. Everything is excellent, but I'd particularly recommend the sticky lamb.
For dessert we shared the mini selection and it was a win, however next time I'll probably go for a full size sticky toffee pudding.
The waiting staff were absolutely delightful. Conversation with one was particularly special as she made us feel extremely wanted.
I'm told that it's similarly good when busy, so I look forward to returning on any day, and I'll be having a larger portion of the lamb.
Food was amazing and staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Recommended to friends already and I'll be back 😀

The food here was absolutely phenomenal! We did end up with a tab of over £100 for two of us, but we ordered a lot of food and wanted to try a lot. On a second visit, this would drop and I'd say you could eat well here for around £25-30 a head.
For starters we shared 3, the sticky lamb salad, fried chicken with massala mayo and the cheesy garlic focaccia. I'd have all 3 again to be honest. The chicken with flavourful and the focaccia was fantastic. But the lamb was incredible. A wonderful little romaine lettuce wrap with a fresh salad sitting under a sticky, crispy, warm lamb serving.
For mains I had the surf and turf and my wife had the tajin chicken skewer. Both wonderful. The surf and turf comes with tempura prawns which were everything a tempura prawn should be. Light, juicy, crispy and well seasoned. it also came with 3 ribs, sticky and meaty. And a sticky beef fillet which was cooked to a medium rare. Although interestingly, I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked. The confit potatoes with this dish were stunning. Crispy, crunchy and delicious.
My wife's skewer was delicious, paired with an avocado salsa and a portion of fries. The only complaint is the flatbread was too crispy. It was just cracking. But the chicken, salad and salsa were a fantastic combination.
For dessert they offer a taster mmset for £12. Mini versions of all 6 makn desserts, so we had to try that. The creme brulee, Eton mess and ice cream were my favourite. I'm a big brownie fan, but it wasn't great here. Tasted like a dry cake. The sticky toffee pudding was delectable but I imagine it could become a little too sickly with a larger helping. And the warm lemon cake was also delicious.
All in all, I would and will definitely come back here again! And I'm waiting for the weather to cheer up a bit so I can sit outside in what looks like a fantastic al fresco option.
Was recommended Ceno by a local friend. And he wasn’t wrong.
The Sunday roast was amazing, nicely served with a good amount of everything you’d expect.
This was the type of roast you’d get at a nice country pub, the chef and staff certainly run it very well.
The food was absolutely lovely, all the food that was being argued looked just as good as ours was.
Great parking facilities,
Would recommend, large outside seating area aswell.
Possibly my favourite restaurant in Southampton. The food is always delicious and the menu is updated regularly The staff are always brilliant and they make you feel welcome, nothing is too much trouble for them. If you haven’t already visited Ceno then I would highly recommend.
Sunday roasts amazing! Had the vegetable hash and all of it tasted as amazing as it smelt and looked.
Sticky toffee pudding and lemon cake for pudding too was too good couldn't decide between the two, did split one with a friend who said the same.
All of it was so worth it and couldn't fault anything.
Had lovely service from Leticia a really friendly waitress
Thank you Ceno

Well I used Trip Advisor to find the best place for Sunday Dinner in Southampton for Mother’s Day & Ceno Restaurant came top of the list so promptly booked a table for five. Wowsers, not only did it live up to the recommendation but exceeded all our expectations! One of the best meals I have ever had said the mother in question, we all agreed that this was one of the very best dining experiences and will be booking again as opposed to, would go again. I gave them 29 out of 30 based on my three courses and fellow guests felt the same.
My starter of battered prawns was sublime, big juicy prawns in a delicate hand battered coating that could only be chef prepared on a delightful bed of salad with a lovely sweet chilli dressing. Mains was traditional roast beef, quality & taste of the meat as good as it gets, gorgeous vegetables roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding with copious amounts of mouth-watering gravy (I had to user a teaspoon to make sure I finished off all the gravy, licking the plate in public would have been too crude but di consider lol). So, the right portion size with quality ingredients make a roast to salivate over. Went for the plum crumble in custard, felt like a real crumble too, perfect balance of stodginess and sweetness with a light custard. Guests also had the delight of the sticky lamb in a lettuce bowl of gorgeous salad, roast pork & crème Brule’s to a chocolate brownie all getting praise like my courses.
Service was excellent as was the ambiance, reluctant in some ways to give such a recommendation as too many people will know and will have difficulty in getting in in future visits but credit where credit due – I salute Ceno as a memorable dining experience and just can’t remember or think of a better experience.
Absolutely fantastic! Food was out of this world, and staff were A class. Good job guys, will definitely be returning 🌟🌟🌟😊
Great food, good service, lovely atmosphere. Perfect setting for a work's Christmas lunch.
