This place has amazing options for vegetarian and vegan. the veggie burger here is honestly the best I ever had in 13 years vegetarian and it is perfect for those who not as impossible burger. the decorations in the restaurant are really beautiful. it's never been too loud. the waiting staff is really good. apps are before place and the cocktail is dangerous delicious. highly recommended for business lunch, term or birthdays.

My important other and I went here for our jubilee dinner and everything was amazing! our server recommended only the side of bruise instead of a complete order, and they were by far enough! a lot to go around for two of us and even enough to go home. I can't even describe how amazing the steak centro was, much taste, I replaced the broccolini for green drilling, but as good as both. my more important other had the pasta and he could not stop mentioning how good the taste was and how it had tasted to make it pleasant, located in the opposite to some other ones that they can go. our server was iralee and she did great, much good help with menu and very personal. thanks centro!

Soouo good! their meals are large, not family-style, but close to them, and this is the midday portion. combine them with an salad or appetizer to feed 2 people easily. try the handmade cavatelli. amazing!

Centro offers a large (americanized) Italian menu in a more date-night/fine dining establishment. I would say it is like an upscale version of Olive Garden as far as options and flavors go. There’s definitely some more high end food options if youare going for beef or fish, but their pasta and pizzas are priced pretty fairly. I like that there is an option for everyoneincluding some vegan specific options. I feel this is a place you can take your pickiest friend and they will find something. Iwill say that even though I enjoyed my meal, it wasn’t anything I felt was unique or better than something I would get atanother Italian restaurant. I felt my food was very oily and my salad was pretty overdressed so I didn’t leavefeeling…wonderful. I did also ask for a half order of my food and was brought the full order. I did think the portion size wasmassive for a half and didn’t realize until we got the bill I was charged for the full so that was a little disappointing. Ifyou’re looking to impress out of town guests I would say skip. But if you’re meeting up with some friends and want to get inon their awesome half price pizza deals on Monday and insane portions, I would say go. Just note this place fills up FAST sobook a reservation if you have a larger party or really don’t want to wait.

This was our first experience at Centro, and we absolutely loved it. I began with a meeting and some appetizers during happy hour. Later, I joined another group for dinner. We delighted in the half-priced pizzas and a large salad. Both the pizzas and salad were incredibly fresh and tasty. We can't wait to return and sample the pasta dishes!
