We went for breakfast. We got in at 10:30 and our food (all the same egg plate) didn’t come out until noon. We ended up rushing to make it to our 1pm show. Server was fine but the wait for the price was unrealistic.

The restaurant is very attractive and the service was good. We started with Mussels and they were overcooked to the point of being inedible. Our entree was Bolognese which was good but not great.
The Centro- ClevelandResponded on June 29, 2025
Thanks for visiting us, Robert. We're sorry to hear that your experience with the mussels didn't meet your expectations. We pride ourselves on the quality of our food and it's disappointing to hear that you found the mussels overcooked. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly look into this matter. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our Bolognese dish, but we hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future. Best, The Centro- Cleveland Management Team.

If I ranked restaurants of all time, the serve at Centro would easily be a contender in my mind. My guest and I were celebrating his birthday, and were shocked when he was immediately greeeted my name by two servers upon entry. We had cocktails, an appetizer and mains. As we were wrapping up, we were surprised with the most thoughtful dessert at no charge to us. The restaurant had asked for my guest’s dessert preferences, and delivered by bringing out not one but two of the foods I had listed. When the brought out the dessert - a scrumptious cheesecake with a bowl of ice cream - the live jazz musician started playing the song, “Happy Birthday”. Overall, the cost of the meal was reasonable, knowing it would be a treat for the occasion. We valeted for only $10 & stayed at the 9 long enough to go to one the Vault bar as well as the rooftop. We can’t wait to go back! Aside from the subtle jazz, it was quiet and ambient. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable of the menu with recommendations, which we took. The food was amazing! Although pricey, the portion size was worth it.

Amanda, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review of The Centro. We are so happy to hear that we made your guest's birthday an experience that you'll both cherish! I will be sure to pass the comments along to our staff they will be very excited to hear your kind words. We hope to welcome you back again, whatever the occasion is. Centro Manager Alexis Schroeder
