Atmosphere was wonderful. Food was delectable. Service and hospitality were outstanding. Definitely a repeat.

BAYSIDE HILLS, NY
Pretty good restaurant. Loud and tight though. I ordered the Tre Staggione pie. Delish. I also ordered the Pappardelle Nonna which is a bolognese sauce with peas and shrooms but there was really no meat in the sauce and the pasta cooked a minute too long as I love my pasta close to al dente. Hubby ordered the Grilled chicken over the green salad. He said it was very good but the greens were a bit wilted. I will go back but prefer to when it isnt crowed and so loud. That clientele is rough to dine with. The owner/​manager does not have a warm personality either as the other reviews say. but we are there to eat and not BS.

BOWLING GREEN, NY
Had the eggplant parmesan. Some places serve this dish so that the eggplant is barely recognizable, but this was clearly eggplant. It was tasty and served nicely, with spaghetti on the side. The sauce tasted like the type on canned spaghetti, but it was good. Basically an upscale pizza place. I would go back.

We love it here. I feel like we are in a café in Italy whenever we eat here — the quality of the food and freshness of ingredients is superb. They make the best brick oven pizza in the surrounding areas, by far. Their fish is always fresh and their pasta dishes are delicious. It’s a great casual place where you don’t have to sacrifice flavor or quality for a casual dining experience.

I had the chicken parm to go. The place was clean and well decorated from what I saw as I waited for my meal (which did not take unreasonably long to make).
The chicken parm was… good but not great. For the prices they charge in this town, it should be pretty great. Or at least significantly better than average. This was only marginally better than average.
And the spaghetti was a bit… either overcooked or not made fresh in the store. If I’m going to a restaurant with these prices in a posh neighborhood like this, I expect them to make the pasta in-​house.
I will go there again if I don’t find a better place nearby — if only because it is conveniently close to my place and it is not bad. But it is not a place that I’m excited to get back to soon.

A friend and I decided to try this local place for dinner. The food was pretty good, the service was so-​so. Unfortunately, while we were still dining, the owner told us we had to hurry up and pay our check because he was pressed for a table. WHAT???
I am giving it 1 star because the food was pretty good and it was clean. The owner’s poor judgement and behavior generated this negative review.
Well, no more Centro Cucina for us as well as all the friends we were going to refer there. Too bad.

Wonderful food! Mussels appetizer was excellent. Figs and prosciutto appetizer was equally delicious. The rest of the meal was even better.

This little «hole in the wall «was packed last night. Food is very good. The tomato sauce is excellent. It’s pricey and portions are medium. It’s now the place to go to see the «housewives of Roslyn «.

Have been many times and always good /​excellent. Tonight no exception. Octopus is best I have ever had and it is not something I generally like. So tender. Asked Antonio the owner and he told us he pays more for the good stuff. Pizza is also dependable, and make sure to order the artichoke appetizer. Wife lives the tiger prawns. Can be pricey for casual place.

I love this place. The owners and staff are so friendly. I often feel like I am a very special guest in their own home. The food is very fresh especially the seafood. I love the branzino and basically any fish I have ordered there. I also enjoy the soups and the brick oven pizza is fantastic. We often eat there during the week with our kids and everyone loves it. It is a little pricey and the décor is casual but there is something very special about the place and I really appreciate the high quality of food and the unique and gracious service. Anyone that says this place isn’t good must have an alterior motive – it’s definitely worth a visit.

We love this place and have been many times. It’s a great, casual place to go with the family. It’s the only place around that has excellent pizza and delicious fresh seafood. Their other entrees are great too! I love the salads and the baked eggplant special. The complimentary biscotti is always a welcome treat at the end. The owners have always been pleasant and accessible any time we’ve dined there. It’s one of my favorite LI restaurants.

East Norwich, NY
All four of us loved the food, but the noise level made conversation very difficult, even with the very small tables. Would have definitely given another star had it been quieter.
Two of us each had a soup and an app. One had the tilapia, which was perfectly prepared, and the fourth in the group remarked that if there is better homemade pasta with mushrooms, he had never had it – and that included in Italy. Add to the above 2 Peroni beers and one dessert and the total was $ 101 + gratuity.
The owner/​maître d’ was attentive and caring but the wait staff needed too much attention. It took 3 requests to get the check!
Will definitely give it another try — maybe for lunch, when maybe it will be more quiet.

This place has great food! The only problems with this place are that the tables are way too small (it was a squeeze to fit our appetizers on the table), and the noise level is crazy… We couldn’t even hear our waiter. I had the tiger shrimp with broccoli rabe (the best broccoli rabe I’ve ever had) my husband had the lamb chops. he’s hard to please and he loved it. Didn’t try the octopus I’d read other reviews suggesting to order it, but I figure I’ll wait until my next visit. We’ll definitely be back.

This restaurant gives a vibe of family dining. Two TV on each end of the restaurant are playing sports evens most of the time for the sports fans. The food is good and the service warm and welcoming. I will definitely do back again! Went there for the very first time for my first birthday with the boyfriend so it has some sentimental value for me as well.

I really enjoys the meat sauce and homemade noodles, I really need to go back and try the pizza. This is actually what we were supposed to be trying the, there was just so much with the two appetizers we ordered that I could barely touch the entrée. Now I know better, and I know how to order next time, looking around the room I saw allot of people with whole lobsters that also looked wonderful, the owner or manager seemed to greet everyone with a warm handshake and a very friendly welcoming attitude which was a very pleasant surprise. We shall return and soon too

Love this place! By far the best pizza in the area. They also have an amazing selection of panini’s. I typically go for the fried calamari and the «Quattro Formaggio» pizza. It’s got 4 different cheeses and is absolutely delicious. The calamari is probably the best I’ve had on Long Island & the service is great. Also, I almost forgot but they have unbelievable Veal Parmigiana! The management goes above and beyone to make sure this place is kept running like clockwork. I would absolutely recommend Centro Cucina to anyone looking for a solid Italian Meal/​or just some pizza!

The Branzino is perfection. In fact it’s my favorite spot to have fish. They even make their own limoncello which is better than my recipe! Everything is good here so definitely try the the Oslo bucco if it is the special. Pizza with procuitto is amazing. Just make sure you make reservations because it can get very busy!!!

I am a foodie and a frustrated chef. Finding fresh seafood and a restaurant that know how to cook it is more difficult than one would think. Centro Cucina is one of them. Stick to the seafood here and you can’t go wrong. The octopus and seafood salad are stand outs. Worth the price! Octopus is tender and flavorful. Charred but not burn’t! Close your eyes and you are in the amalfi coast… Wines are moderatly priced. Stick with the italians. Service is attentive. Noise level is high… but who cares! We had the roasted Branzino tail and head on. They offered us a lemoncello… dangerous!
Owners are there ALL THE TIME and attentive to all the tables.
Put this place on the once a week list!!!

We had dinner for the first time in this small, tucked away place in the corner. It is huge on flavor and is so delicious I almost don’t want to tell you how amazing the bronzino is, or the homemade pasta, or the grilled octopus appetizer, or the veal chop, or the warm sabingone over strawberries! The staff is very attentive. I must try the lunch next week to see if it’s as great as dinner. Although the special mozzarella only available on Saturday night, flown in from Italy, will be missed. When you first walk in, it seems loud, but then you’ll notice you have no trouble having your own conversation.

This tiny café has some nice paninis to choose from for a light lunch. We all enjoyed our sandwiches and wraps. Unfortunately, my husband said that his chicken was a bit too dry and the service was very slow for such a small restaurant.
If you have time for a leisurely lunch, then I recommend one of the veggie paninis on the whole wheat foccacia bread.
