    The house made blue cheese dressing on the wedge salad is to die for! The rack of lamb was grilled and delicious! Noona’s meatballs were very good too. Our server was attentive. It was my first time to dine at Centro and will definitely go again.

    Came here last year and was super good, came back this year and it honestly just isn’t worth it. They were out of 2 things I ordered, the food was under seasoned and underdone. the Cesar salad was good and the drinks as well! Overall I just think you can go somewhere else and get better food for the price.

    Made a reservation weeks in advance only to arrive and have no table ready. They then offered to sit us upstairs, on the way there a gentleman told the hostess that we can't sit up there, we were then taken back to the hostess stand where we waited approximately a total of 11 minutes past our reservation time. Once seated it took about 10 more minutes before our waiter came over to give us water and take our drink order, then roughly the same to bring our drinks. The food was decent but definitely underseasoned. Would consider going back but probably at the bar where the service seemed faster.

    My food was really good, I ordered the stuffed mushrooms, iceberg wedge salad, and the salmon entree everything was delicious! The service could have been better, it took a while for the bartender to take for my order, she never took the empty plates. (I sat at the bar so it wasn’t much space) I did have a bunch of flies flying around my food. Also I don’t drink there wasn’t a mocktail option on the menu.

    My boyfriend and I spent our Valentine’s Day dinner here and we had an absolutely lovely time. It’s romantic but lively. I had the bucatini diavolo pasta and he had the braised short rib. We shared the lobster arancini to start - an absolute must! We were so pleased with this place!
