  If you're looking for a wonderful pizza or the best steak in Iowa.
  
  Great drinks. If you're in the mood for a cocktail. Try a martini. Great wine list as well.

  Had the pleasure of dining here with a group of colleagues while in town for a work trip during the weekend of the Steak Fry. We had a reservation and our group of 7 was seated comfortably at a round table. I must say it was quite dark inside the restaurant, almost tough to read the menu.
  
  We had a fried trio of calamari, Brussel sprouts and portobello fries for the table. The portobello fries were the standout. As a lover of calamari, I was disappointed. They lacked any flavor. Only when dipped in one of the sauces were they salvageable. Most folks at the table ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca. I had the salmon and broccolini dish. The portions were so great, I wasn't even close to being able to finish the meal. This was also likely due to how much bread and portobello fries I sucked down before the entrees arrived. Our server was exceptional.
  
  All around a great place to have a nice dinner.

  This place just never disappoints.  The service was attentive, prompt and friendly.
  Of the appetizer the meat balls are a huge serving and the Brussel sprout are crispy and fried.
  Tonight the special was lamb chops and they were perfectly seasoned and prepared.

  Five stars all around.
  
  Five star service and food. I've been here once before a few years ago for dinner, but went today for a lunch. We went around 2PM so there was no wait. We wanted bread for our table but they don't usually do it for lunch, our waitress brought us a basket of bread anyway. And we ordered half the bruschetta for an appetizer. The bread was phenomenal; and the bruschetta was spectacular. The bread was toasted and buttered to perfection. I'm usually not a tomato person, but this was beautiful and so good. I ordered for lunch the turkey and bacon sandwich with tomato soup. The tomato soup was so yummy. I really didn't think the food could be any better. The sandwich was on the best bread and the bacon was perfectly cooked. I was so full, but didn't want to stop eating. Seriously 5 stars all around, I'll be back very soon!

  This is probably the highest dining I think I've ever gone to. My friend & I who I rarely ever get to hang out with decided to go eat somewhere for dinner & we chose Centro. We arrived shortly after 5pm & was immediately seated, though I would've like to sit outside that was full so we sat inside. I will say it was very cold in there & those were my only two knocks towards this place.
  
  We ordered the fired cheese ravioli for our appetizer. I ordered the margherita pizza & my friend ordered the salmon for our entree. We had complimentary bread which was warm & garlicky goodness. The appetizer arrived within 5 minutes & we dug in. I have had mixed results with fried cheese ravioli most of the places I've tried, but this was by far the best tasting I've ever had, & the sauce was zesty & great as well.
  
  Our entrees arrived shortly after & I really enjoyed the pizza, I'm fairly picky & don't like tomato chunks, which is why I chose this pizza, as it differs from normal margherita pizza. I loved the smoky crust from the oven & the dough was cooked perfectly. My friend really enjoyed his salmon as well. I had the s'mores creme brulee for desert & that was great as well.
  
  The service was exquisite as well, I dropped my silverware wrapped in cloth & our waitress came over immediately to replace it with a new one. She was on her game as we were checked in numerous times to make sure everything was great. A separate person kept our waters refilled constantly, which was appreciated.
  
  Finally I will say that this is one of the best services I've had locally. I definitely will return here!
