    We had a wonderful time here, our first time eating here. Loved the decor and ambiance in both of the rooms, classy and welcoming. They have a large menu, so much to choose from. We shared an order of their puffed bread, it's not on the menu. Then we had the crab & avocado stack, which was excellent and the mussels in white sauce, the sauce was a little too salty. We also shared the seafood boulibaise made with grouper, which was yummy. For dessert we had the dark chocolate mousse and the pistachio tartuffo. The entertainment was top notch. They had 2 singers, male and female, she had an amazing voice. Over the course of the night people were up dancing on a small area in the middle of the room. I'm definitely coming back.

    Been in business since2006 so must be doing things right. Located in the best spot at corner of Main Street in Northwood. Started off in two largish rooms and added another room to make quite a large restaurant. They have delightful pizza. Good service and reasonable parking. They offer other food items in a cafe sort of way. They also have jazz and other live entertainment nights which seem to get fully booked. Cool place

    I was absolutely thrilled that I chose this restaurant for my Friday lunch date. Located in the revitalized Northwood area in Palm Beach, this is a good sized restaurant with a piano bistro vibe that would be a great place for either lunch or dinner. The decor was artistic with a thrift store feel. I loved how they repurposed their empty Clase Azul Tequila bottles in table lamp and the large chandelier was cut pvc pipes holding the lightbulbs. As for the food and service, they too were great. My server Devyn was totally on top of everything. Beverages refilled, appetizer brought out hot, and main course followed shortly after. The Arancini appetizer was creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The Meatball Hoagie Sandwich was filled with chopped meatballs which made is not messy at all to eat and the gooey cheese held it all together inside the soft baked roll. The Greek Salad with added Salmon was prepared perfectly. Cold salad with the right amount of toppings and dressing underneath a medium rare filet of salmon was very good. Portions are generous and prices are great for the area of town. There is some lovely outside seating and inside there is a night time vibrant bar scene with piano music. Parking is limited but free on the street with no overnight parking allowed. After the meal, it is nice to take a stroll along the sidewalk to see the local businesses.

    This was disappointing and I really wanted to like Cafe Centro as the staff is great and the vibe is laidback and welcoming, however the Olive Garden like Italian food I tried had no connection to authenticity and just as bad, the quality was questionable. A pasta with pesto dish was drowning in a heavy cream like sauce and that's not something you see in authentic Italian restaurants and while I can see a light cream sauce for an Americanized version, the dish served was drowning in the heavy sauce. I grew up eating homemade pesto and the sauce is simple and variations aside consists of: Fresh basil, not supermarket basil (hard to find but worth the search) Pignoli nuts A good olive oil Firm garlic Quality Pecorino cheese (or a similar cheese) Non commercial Parmesan cheese Their version was simply disgusting and an affront to good pesto. The quality or cooking method made a Chicken dish impossible to cut - and eat. A pasta item was overcooked, even though it was requested al dente and the sauce was of the flavorless red variety which could not be consumed. Other items were somewhat consistent with those mentioned. It's a shame because the staff is very nice and I hear that the entertainment is good.

    Wow! This was one of the best nights out in a while! The company, the food, ambience, and entertainment especially... Everything was phenomenal. Be prepared to dance and have a wonderful time! Some highlights from the menu were the beet salad and the mushroom pizza. The salad dressing was light and tasty and the beets were delicious. The pizza was a perfect serving size to get full and have leftovers for lunch the next day and the crust is thin and delicious. We also had a couple of drinks and they were strong and very yummy. I really enjoyed the espresso martini. The service was so fast and friendly as well! I will definitely be back!

    Not on the menu puff bread---inflated buttered pita!

    Such a fun evening in the piano bar listening to Copeland Davis! What a talent! Enjoyed the puff bread and the special lemon sole---Gina was an attentive and knowledgeable server. Our party of eight all raved about the evening over nightcaps of espresso martinis!

    OMG Cafe Centro in Northwood West Palm Beach...you need to go! Went there last night for the first time there were 12 of us ladies for a birthday... I tasted almost everyone's food and was in heaven for the whole night. Beautiful ambience, terrific servers, wonderful music and some of the best food I've had since Nonna Maria's closed. Sorry, I only got photos of some of the main dishes and none of the spectacular appetizers or desserts we had as I was too busy inhaling all the scrumptiousness...winner of the night was a ricotta with hot honey app that we couldn't get enough of...run don't walk to this gem!!!!

    Had some delicious drinks at the bar. The service was amazing. John Gander is a gentleman and made us feel welcome.

    Another extraordinary night of jazz, dinner, and fun for a group of us enjoyed a great night out. I went with a delicious pork chop, and it was perfectly cooked with their roasted cream corn. Apps I had the Roasted Delicious Chicken Wings. It's a little pricey but so good. my wife had the seafood over linguine. corn was so tasty! Our waiter was excellent and kept checking to make sure we were doing perfect.

    Is this a true piano bar, where we can sit AROUND the piano?

    We have tables around the piano and we move tables later in the evening to accommodate the dancing.

My husband got the BBQ pizza and was very happy - both for dinner, and for the next day's lunch. I got the chicken parm, and also had plenty for a large lunch the next day.

The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and everything just feels clean, modern, and well put together. We started with a fresh salad w mozzarella and salami. Then the pizza came out... and it completely exceeded expectations. We got two pies -- one gluten-free and one regular -- and both were outstanding. The gluten-free pizza was done perfectly (which is rare), with great texture and flavor -- didn't feel like you were missing out at all. But the real standout was the square white pizza with mushrooms and meatballs. That thing was unreal. Perfectly crispy edges, soft inside, rich cheese, and packed with flavor. Honestly, for Florida pizza, this was next level. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and actually care about execution. Service was great, everything came out smoothly, and the entire experience was top tier. Easy 10/10. Definitely a go-to spot -- will 100% be back.

I also tried their buffalo chicken pizza- with both their ranch and blue cheese sauces (several sauces to choose from)- and thought those flavors were tasty too!! Appreciate that they have several sizes of the pizzas, with many custom options available, and that the food is priced NORMAL here. Not overpriced like the rest of Palm Beach. They also have several other delicious options- wings, sandwiches, pasta, salads, and desserts, to name a few. I did order delivery both times- so avoided the sketchy area and parking issues I'm reading about in other reviews. Pizza holds up great during the delivery. Agree with Dave Portnoy's 8.4 review!!
