Food was really good, but did not exceed expectations overall. The artichoke dip was the best item we got!
Bolognese was heavy on the mushrooms for our taste, and the Giardiniera was flavorful, but I would go with something else next time around.

One of the best places to eat! Huge favorite for us! Food is FRESH, FRESH, FRESSSSSHHH! (And you can reallyyyy taste the difference!) The chef's cook right in the dining room in an open concept kitchen. There's intimate outside seating, too! Perfect for anniversary or any special occasion.

Iva was our waitress and I can't even express how welcomed I felt. My partner and I decided to go here after a long week, and it definitely hit the spot. The food was phenomenal, and the service was wonderful. The place has a great vibe and I will definitely visit again.

Was one of my favorite restaurants! Every visit is pleasant. My most recent one was fairly good. However their prices seemed a lot higher since the last time I’ve been here. I ordered the cacio e Pepe. It was just okay. 3 scallops and a small portion of pasta that was quite dry. My favorite part of the dish was the sautéed mushrooms. Sadly not $37 worth. However my boyfriend got the Short rib rissoto and that was excellent! Overall, food is good but pricey for what it is.

Food was excellent, atmosphere is old school italian restaurant. Service was very good . Little jazz bar next door playing music on the weekends was nice too.

First time at this place. Went there with the Boss and a few co-worker friends. Truth is, I've never been to a place quite like this. We sat way in the front and they opened the huge window for us. The atmosphere was the thing I like best about this place. Old world charm for sure. The food was good. Really good actually. If I was forced to belly ache about something, the one thing would be the portions. But it was nice and worth it. Would go there again for sure.

As you can see from the photos below, Centro has perfect Instagram lighting for foodies!
That is just the cherry on top though, as they serve extremely flavorful and balanced Italian dishes and great cocktails. Any of the spritzs will be a great choice during a summer day. Also great place for seafood.
Staff is friendly, atmosphere is great, and prices are wallet friendly as well. Centro is definitely ready for more in person customers as the world opens up!

Had their seafood linguine that was to die for. Super tasty sauce, fresh pasta and the scallops and shrimp were perfectly cooked. Amazing.

Pasta made from scratch! Locally sourced, an ambiance similar to that of a New York style bistro. Excellent wine selection. Craft made drinks from the bar. Exquisite service. A must try for anyone that lives in the Milwaukee area. This is a go-to for us on date night. Try bar Centro too if you want a fun night full of live music and a speakeasy feel.
Dani McClone
Fantastic service, charming atmosphere and scrumptious food. The Gnudi was truly fantastic, will absolutely be back for that dish! Also a serious bonus they have gluten free options!
Rachel Rosteck
GREAT food! Happened to grab a table near the chef and got to watch him freshly make all the pasta being served. Very nice place with a good atmosphere.

All around, excellent, 5-star experience. Experience. We dined on the patio which was a beautiful setting for a wonderful dinner.
Mike Urbaitis
Awesome Italian spot! The food was very authentic and our server, Michael, was amazing. The vibe, decor, good, wine, etc. all made it feel like we were back in Italy. Highly recommend!

The innocuous exterior hides a well priced Italian dining affair. The interior is unique, yet feels like a cozy bistro you’d find on the streets of New York. Cocktails are top notch, and the menu remains stable, with occasional, seasonal changes.
A pizza is recommended, as is dessert.

It took me way too long to finally get to Centro Café but I discovered just what a great place it is having dined there twice in the past week. The place is fantastic with many gluten-free options, wine choices were very tasty and portion sizes and the quality of food were exceptional. What a great place to dine, right in the middle of the Riverwest neighborhood. Highly recommend!
Jordan Ivans
Such a lovely place. Walking feels like stepping into someone's home. The mixture of wood, metal, and stone is warm and inviting. The staff is equally pleasant and courteous. The open kitchen adds a unique element. On top of the atmosphere, the food was great! Quality ingredients, excellent flavor profiles, I enjoyed every bite. Great date night spot!
Anna Perry Schmidt
Everything was amazing. We had bruschetta, grilled scallops and calamari, duck breast risotto, and gnudi. Highly recommend this place for any and all occasions
Dottie Hoyt
Great food, wonderful service. Our bartender Diane was the best ever. Great place to go for delicious food and drinks, specially on dates!

I was given a gift card for Christmas last year. My boyfriend and I had dinner at Centro in July. The outside of the restaurant was very unassuming. Our waitress, our food and the atmosphere was better than we expected. Then just a couple of days ago two of my sisters and I had dinner. Again the service was great, the food was superb. Centro is a gem. I highly recommend it.
Amanda Hanson
So good! Loved the atmosphere and the food!
Great gluten free options too!
Glen Kazmierski
I loved it from the minute we walked in and it just kept getting better and better. Fantastic experience. Staff, food, ambiance...all top notch. Can't believe we've missed out for so long. This is sure to be a regular stop for is.
Dan Kartz
Delicious dinner in Riverwest. It was nice to be back in the old neighborhood.
Scott J Sebastian
Made the drive up to the old neighborhood and my favorite Milwaukee restaurant. We weren't disappointed.
Birdie Rieck
Service was bad. Waited a long time for a waiter to take a drink order.
Mike Sorge
Great staff... great pasta... great wine! We'll be back! Thank you so much for accommodating our group last night �

Celebrated my son's 21st birthday. Really quaint place. Food was delicious, great service, good prices. Sat in the main dining area, was really neat to see the chef cooking. I'll definitely be back.
Heather Varady
My favorite restaurant in Milwaukee!!! Love the many great gluten free options! Warm and inviting atmosphere!
Jim Kloth
Had dinner there Friday night. One of the trendiest places where the quality exceeds the price. Great menu great people and not the “new guy” on the block. Proven!
Miccah Leiphart
The food was delicious. Great service, everything came out quickly. We wish there was a little more elbow room between tables but we'll sit by the chef next time ;)

Resturant presents a truly warm and inviting atmosphere.
Enjoyed a four beet salad with goat cheese. Washed down with bourbon and sage cocktail. Tom had lobster and shrimp salad with a smoked flavored Del maguey vida mezcalita. Both followed by good coffee.
