- AAmyVIPWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a lovely and delicious dinner at Centrolina. The food was scrumptious; the server was attentive; and everyone was welcoming. My husband and I have a lot of food allergies, and the server guided us, and Chef accommodated us. Our friends who were visiting are Italian, and it is very hard to meet their standards. This exceeded their very high expectations.More infoCentrolinaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Penn Quarter•4.7
