Centro is located on Tahlia street opposite Chili?s and nestled between a Lamborghini and Bentley shop. Although it looks rather uninviting from the outside, this restaurant is very alluring and romantic inside with its fancy red and black interior design.

I had been to Centro when it was first opened and a few times afterwards and the restaurant was often crowded on weekend nights. Especially the single?s side seems to be popular with groups of men watching football from the flat screen TV?s.

This time the restaurant was completely empty when we came, it was Ramadan though and iftar time. They didn?t have a buffet on offer so we ordered from the menu. Not sure if it was because of Ramadan that the restaurant didn?t play any background music, but this made the place feel even emptier and a little bit gloomy.

Centro is divided into single and family sections with the exception that you can actually see from one side to the other. The family section has large open area and tables that can be closed off by cool black string curtains or thicker red velvet curtains for extra privacy.

The cuisine is international and there?s is a fairly good selection of salads and hot and cold appetizers on offer. We ordered the rocket salad and nacho dishes.

The dishes arrived promptly and the service was polite, but nothing extraordinary.? Same goes for the appetizers; they were good, but nothing special. The salad had too much vinegar poured on top and ordering the dressing on the side would be advisable. Some of the nachos tasted stale and the dish was not finished.

Portion sizes were generous but there was definitely room for improvement in the presentation of the dishes, they looked rather dull and as if just thrown onto the plate.

For the main course we had several pasta dishes and tried the pizza. All pastas tasted good but again, nothing to be too excited about or to return for. The pizza on the other hand was downright soggy and so greasy I had to pat the grease on a napkin to be able to eat it.

For desserts we ordered the Martha Stewart apple pie and chocolate cake. The Chocolate cake was fabulous in appearance, consistency and taste and was quickly finished. Martha Stewart?s pie was a letdown; I couldn?t imagine this was what the household guru had in mind when she created the recipe.? The pie was dry, lacked flavor and it crumbled into small pieces when eaten.

Centro offers a trendy environment and cool design in a prime location but that ?something special? on our visit was missing.
