Piccolina da Centrolina

Came here for dinner by myself while on a work trip. The atmosphere is great. Both cozy and modern. I asked my server for a recommendation and ended up getting a margarita pizza with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. The pizza was excellent, probably a little more than one person should eat. The wine paired excellent with it. With tip it was about $35, which I think is reasonable. Highly recommend.

Good pizza. Amazing desserts: I got three because I couldn’t choose, and they all were phenomenal.

Got an agnello panino and a canoli, both were incredible! Price was very reasonable too

Nice place for great tasty food.

While the food and ambience is very good I really don’t appreciate any additional charge on check because of increasing cost. You can raise your prices but adding 5% to each check is not reasonable.

Piccolina da Centrolina is a charming spot that feels like a slice of Europe tucked away in the city. The outdoor seating creates a cozy, relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for brunch or lunch.

We tried the salmon skewers and a panini, both of which were fresh and flavorful. The salad that came with the panini was crisp and colorful, adding to the meal’s appeal. A highlight here is the cannoli bar—where they freshly fill the shells upon ordering—making for the perfect sweet ending.

Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, and the casual yet sophisticated vibe made it a lovely place to spend a slow afternoon. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!

An incredible meal — high quality ingredients and modern ambiance. Eggplant parm was one of the best we’ve ever had — pistachio cannoli, too! Both had such attention to texture and flavor. Also recommend the uovo pomodoro for a delicious side.

Sneaked a 5% service charge that was not disclosed on the menu, and the Porchetta Panuzzo gave me the runs that evening. You should only risk it if you are going to places with public toilets.

Delicious little Italian eatery in the well known Palmer Alley.
We were there for the signature Italian pastries, which were all great! Really well made and delicious. We were there with the Underground Donut Tour DC, and our guide had eaten there at other times and said everything they had was great.

The porchetta sandwich is tender, savory and delicious. Loved sitting at the counter for a spontaneous lunch for one during a not so hectic work day.

The food options were really good and everything tasted good. Nothing was exceptional but also nothing was bad. We tried the panini and a couple sourdough toasts and they all tasted good. The cannoli was good too.
