We are a younger couple feel like that had alot to do with our experience. First server who greeted us when we came in was amazing set an amazing tone for our dinner. Then everything went down hill our server wasn't rude but definitely felt dismissive. First time at a actually Italian restaurant didn't really understand any of the words on the menu tried ordering just fresh cheese he recommended something else and wound up with a weird salad. Took like 2 bites and decided we couldn't eat it he asked if he could take the plates I said yes it wasn't what we were trying to order. Server completely ignored my comment. Gave him free rein on main entree since I could comprehend the menu. Food was bland had no flavor which was sad for 90 dollar meal then couldn't get him to come over to even ask for a bill asked a different server. Definitely won't be back and dont recommended. Sadly because we were excited for it As a younger couple, we believe our age may have influenced our experience. The initial server who welcomed us set a wonderful tone for our dinner. However, the experience declined afterward, as our server, while not rude, seemed dismissive. Being our first time at an Italian restaurant, we were unfamiliar with the menu's terminology. When we attempted to order fresh cheese, he suggested an alternative, resulting in an unusual salad. After a couple of bites, we found it inedible. When he offered to remove the plates, we explained that it wasn't what we had intended to order, but he disregarded our comment. Since we struggled with the menu, we allowed him to choose our main entrees. Unfortunately, the food lacked flavor, which was disappointing for a ninety-dollar meal. We had difficulty getting his attention to request the bill and had to ask another server. Regrettably, we will not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant, as we were initially quite excited about it.

Eating here with family was a joy. Neighborhood setting invites you in. Once inside you notice stylish coziness. Seasoned staff. Food and drink were excellent.

Had never been here before but had always wanted to try it. It did not disappoint. The salad was very tasty and the cannelloni was amazing. Service was top notch and atmosphere was cozy and refined.

Osteria ll Centro serves extremely well prepared food, served by exceptional staff. I have been dining here since they opened and that has never changed. The decor is nothing special but the atmosphere is fun, exciting, and romantic. It is a little pricey but well worth it.

This evening was our first visit to this establishment, but it won't be our last. Everything from the atmosphere, to our service, to the wonderful food, was top-notch. The setting is elegant without being pretentious. The serving staff was professional and excellent with their timing and attention. I could not recommend this place more!

Absolutely incredible experience! Even without a reservation on a busy Saturday night, we were welcomed with a 15-minute wait, which flew by while we enjoyed drinks at the bar. After about 10 min we were seated and I ordered the lamb chops and they were really good, my girlfriend's crab ravioli was equally amazing.. Every dish was bursting with flavor! Our server was incredibly attentive and checking in just enough to ensure a perfect evening. We would recommend this spot! To anyone wanting authentic Italian food!

Delightful and delicious.
We made a reservation for an early dinner during happy hour to celebrate some special occasions.
Everything was top notch. If you're going to spring for the goat cheese appetizer, level up with a side of marinara and enjoy.
Excellent wine selection. The chicken parmesan was hand-breaded fresh to order with a variety of pasta options. Amazing.
The whole experience made a long-lasting impression which we are grateful to the staff for facilitating.
We can't wait to come back!
