We finally got warm weather suitable for patio seating. Had to wait till after 5:00 to get the full menu. My wife liked her pizza (which was the 1/2 price special). I was intrigued by the Kill-Bill pork tenderloin: includes ham, bacon, pepperjack cheese, sunny side up egg, toasted ciabatta bun. It was superb. So much meat I had half... More

Classy place, white table clothes and all. It is a bit price but there are decent inexpensivechoices also. The Burgers and ceaser salad are very reasonable and good. Of course the drinks are hotel prices starting at $5 for a beer and going up from there. the bar waiter was super, very attentive and friendly. It is pretty must in... More

Good food great "centro" location! Friendly staff and nice ambiance . It has been nice to be in a quiet trendy place for a change! i love that the give you an "ipad" with the drink list ' A bit chintzy on the wine pour though !

Nice atmosphere went to a business dinner here. Food was good, not great. Service and atmosphere were excellent. An all around nice restaurant.

We arrived at about 7:30 on a Thursday night and the place was busy but we were able to snag a table. Service was excellent and I loved the atmosphere which was... More

I had the crab-cakes appetizer, tomato soup, risotto, and also tried the chicken and prosciutto pasta. With the exception of the tomato soup that was acceptable, everything else was pretty bad. The risotto was an absolute joke, and even the chicken in the past disk was overcooked. With Django a block away and Proof a couple of blocks away, there... More

I recently dined at Centro with five business colleagues, two of whom are from New York City. The guys from NY lined up the lunch and made the arrangements. We arrived right after 11:30. When we were seated, the restaurant was not very busy. By the time we left, the place was full. This was on a Wednesday. The server... More

While in Des Moines IA on business I decided to try Centro Restaurant in downtown Des Moines. WONDERFUL experience. I had the scallops with balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts. The dish also called for hazelnuts which I asked to have left off as I am not a big fan of same. Meal was FANTASTIC. Perfectly prepared scallops (though I did get... More
