Centro's street level windows confirm that this downtown hot spot is a place to see and be seen. Enjoy a cocktail with one of Centro's signature coal-fired pizzas in the bar or on the European-style sidewalk cafe. Restauranteur George Formaro brings his love of pizza making to the menu and executive chef Bill Overdyk (who cures his own pancetta) adds his influences with a nod to locally produced ingredients.
