Review Summary

Reviews of CENTRO present a picture of a popular local spot with consistently delicious food and attentive service, balanced by a few hiccups. On a Christmas Eve order, some items fell short, with arancini that had hard rice, a cod dish that was only ok, a pear dressing that guests disliked, and the seafood salad and calamari described as soggy; several said they would not order more platters. Outside that, experiences are overwhelmingly positive: meals described as delicious with excellent quality, reliable delivery on time, and friendly, welcoming staff. Customers praise the sandwiches, pizza, salads, and desserts, with favorites including mortadella and pistachio panini, porchetta panini, tiramisu, and key lime. The restaurant is repeatedly cited as a go-to for work events and celebrations, with compliments for catering, a private room for special occasions, and a dedicated, professional team that makes event planning easy. The ambiance, parking behind the building, and lunch consistency also come up, and guests report returning regularly for casual meals and group functions, often noting an espresso as a standout detail.View restaurant profile
