Centrolina offers an exceptional dining experience with its polite and smart personnel, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. The food is consistently superb, with the Branzino being a recommended dish, cooked to perfection by wood. The menu is constantly updated, but this may sometimes limit options. Despite this, the desserts are fantastic and the service is generally attentive, with staff providing explanations of each dish. While the ambiance is not lavish, it is a cut above average for a high-end restaurant.
Recent reviews highlight the restaurant’s ability to handle unexpected challenges, such as staff shortages or system issues, without compromising food quality. Even during busy times like restaurant week, the staff manages to keep service good, though delays can occur. Some diners noted that a small gesture like bringing bread or offering a complimentary item during wait times could improve the experience. The outdoor seating offers a nice setting, though it can feel a bit bare. The menu features delicious options like salmon with fennel, gluten-free pasta with wild mushroom sauce, and other tasty dishes. Overall, Centrolina provides one of the best dining experiences, making it a favorite among regulars.
