We LOVE centro cafe. It’s our favorite, go-to date spot in milwaukee. The ambiance is so calming and the staff are so wonderful. Everything on the menu is really good. I’ve had about half of it and it’s always consistently good! Also for myboyfriends birthday they brought out a little piece of REALLY good fudge cake (I don’t even really know what it was but omg itwas amazing) and sorbet and a candle! They know how to make your dining experience special.

Was referred by a friend that worked at the now closed Chesterfield hotel on island as a place that had live music and great food,We made reservations as suggested and enjoyed everything from our marvelous appetizers the fried clams were a hit and sowere the main courses! Service was fantastic our waitress was wonderful! Even turning us on to a off menu Puff bread treat!Music was a little different than we appreciate but that's just us, menu prices were on high end but for quality products youwill have to pay! This is definitely a great find in a area you wouldn't expect on the North side of WPB in a area going througha renicance! Will return

Pasta made from scratch! Locally sourced, an ambiance similar to that of a New York style bistro. Excellent wine selection. Craft made drinks from the bar. Exquisite service. A must try for anyone that lives in the Milwaukee area. This is a go-to forus on date night. Try bar Centro too if you want a fun night full of live music and a speakeasy feel.

This place was great! Stopped in for family birthday dinner. The building is super charming, front arched windows were opened so diners could look out get fresh air.We sat outdoors in lovely backyard. The restaurant was pretty busy on a Tuesday night-we had awesome service. We all enjoyed our meals. The large cesear salad was enough to split w/our main courses-halibut, Duck, Bolognese vodka gnocchi-were all enjoyed. Split choc cake for dessert-perfect night!
