Reviews of Centro Restaurant and Lounge (Night Club)

Tony Lopes

Great food and great service

James Crowley

Great place to eat! Enjoy a walk to the Irish Famine Memorial across from Hemenways and then cross the river to the new and fabulous pedestrian bridge across the Providence River. Centro is great. Cool service and good food! My date ordered delicious Chicken Picatta while I had really large Mussels but so tender in a subtle Lime flavored sauce. Delicious peach gelato followed. The Omni has a great Health Club with a Steam Sauna, heated pool and FULL service Health Club. Don’t miss it if your coming to Providence!!

Food was good, but expensive. Service was excruciatingly slow.

Coming into this warm, contemporary environment you know that it is going to be a bit on the pricey side. But for the price, it delivers in spades. Let's start off with the menu. It is simple, elegant, and formatted very well. With a variety of different choices that you don't get at other Italian restaurants. Most restaurants, there is a general flow of "what shape of noodle do you want this tomato sauce over?", and I didn't get that vibe at all. There's a wide variety of different courses to choose from. For the main course I chose a simple but very nicely done Shrimp and Penne dish. Which consisted of Penne Noodles, three large Jumbo Shrimp, alfredo sauce, and halved grape tomatoes. Overall it was a good combo, except for the tomatoes, which provided a not so nice contrast to the salty but not too salty alfredo sauce. I found myself avoiding them as much as possible when I would rather have been able to enjoy the dish in perfect harmony. I also feel for the price of over twenty dollars, they could have given one more shrimp, but it was not needed to be a filling meal. On to desert, I ordered a nice tiramisu, which satisfied the coffee lover in me tenfold. It was sweet but also was counter acted in great contrast by the bitter espresso flavor. Overall, I feel like this place is one of the best I have ever eaten at, the food is second to none with a great atmosphere. However, the value for money is the Achilles heel, that takes this from a five star, to a high four. I highly recommend this place, but only if money is no issue. Have a nice day, and thank you for the great dining experience.

Have eaten hear quite a few times and have always been impressed. A menu that will please even the pickiest of eaters. If you are local, and haven't been to Centro, your missing out... BIG TIME!!

Easy reservation with Open Table, friendly and skilled staff, great menu with vegan and gluten free clearly marked, beautiful setting. Overall a wonderful dining experience!

This restaurant did not seem right when we entered, and everything was off. The food had no flavor. 1) The sausage pizza was not edible, like the crust had been pre-cooked then heated up and the white sauce was literally like flour paste; the olive oil for dipping bread was actually bitter or rancid, inedible; 3) the bolognese sauce was inedible, as of the meat had been made, frozen, reheated numerous times, and no flavor. It took 20 minutes to get bread and our appetizers came out after over 30 minutes. Our waitress knew we were unhappy and avoided us instead of addressing or offering to accommodate in any way. We left all our food on the table, which NEVER HAPPENS! My husband will eat almost anything and cannot stand to waste. This was inedible and i was sad about it because I had actually tried to find a great place and made the reservations ahead of time.

Steak was over cooked.

Dominic Cappuccino

An excellent restaurant conveniently located in the Omni Hotel. The service is good here and the food is delicious. Great place to relax before a concert at the Dunkin Donuts Center or grab a quick Italian bite.

Walter Anderson

Ambience is awesome. Drinks were great!!

Bryan Reyes

I’m not gonna lie, but i saw a mice around the corners and the service isn’t very good.

BethAnn Jordan-Kruljac

Food was ok. The highlight was the fries, hot and the right amount of salt. The rest was just ok. And if rating food alone I would give it solid 3. BUT, the service was very poor. I watched them remove dirty silverware and napkins and lead me right to the same table. I had to ask to have it wiped off. I waited for a setup. Food took forever. Fries were hot, main was warm. I watched as others around me suffered as well. It was busy, so I wanted to give them a break but as a restaurant in a hotel CONNECTED to the convention center, they need to be better.

Deb Wagler

I wouldn't have known it was a hotel restaurant by the quality of the food. Plus, they took great care preparing food for persons with food allergies.thank you centro.!

Anthony Hardison

The food was ok, but the service could have been better.

Todd Bartlett

Completely mismanaged. Waited over an hour for our dinner. Complained twice before they brought out my son's soup. Then they brought his soup and entre together, but only his food. My dinner came out next. The chicken was raw in the center. At that point we walked out. In case you think we are complainers, we were not the only table to walk out. Tables near us were waiting just as long. Supervisor was not apologetic. He was defensive. A complete disaster.

Daniel Sullivan

Great drinks and appetizers

Adam Rich

Food was excellent every time we went in but the service is horrid

john lapham

Waxy generic food; staff way more interested in their iPhones and closing early than helping you. Avoid.

Matt Arkarna

Un resto sympa avec des plats vraiment bons, même s'ils sont tout simples. Le service agréable et courtois.

Jerry Martin

The food and service were excellent. The clam chowder is in a league of it's own and is only rivaled by my wife's. Lots of big pieces of clams and the potatoes were nice and firm. The both was smooth and extra creamy, not you standard watery NE clam broth. The lobster ravioli were full of realitively big pieces of meat. The service by both waiters and bar staff was exceptional. Nothing but great words to say about the whole customer experience.

Damian Biagi

The appetizers were okay, but the entrées were almost inedible. The rigatoni bolognese was watery with clearly previously frozen meat and a sawdust-like consistency, and the sausage pizza--well, I'm would have been happier with a supermarket frozen pizza because I could eat that. The pizza used some kind of undercooked roux for a sauce, and the crust was stale (!) and overcooked. In addition, despite our polite complaints, our meek server did not try rectify any of the problems.

Velma Palacios

Great food and service. Try the wild mushroom pizza. First time at this restaurant.

Nate Eckelberger

Service was stellar and the restaurant itself was immaculate, however the food was lacking. If you charge 20 plus dollars for a pasta entree, you should make the pasta in house. I ordered the salmon. It was cooked decent, but it was layed on pasta sauce and roasted green beans. The food is ok, I just think it could be a lot better at the price point they are asking.

Adelino Vicente

Joseph, is an asset to your organization. He came to our table several times with a smile and treated us like royalty. Next time, I come back I will ask for him by name. I think anyone who lives in Providence, RI or is visiting, or is staying at Omni Hotel must come visit Centro. Thank you Joseph and the team for going above and beyond and the food and service is totally amazing and for the right price.

Aly Starr

This is my third time going and every time it's always special. I enjoyed the pan roasted salmon and succotash along and my girlfriend enjoyed the prosciutto panini! I live the atmosphere and the food

Sean Flynn

We had a great time in the bar.

Anthony Ellerman

Gina Marrinucci

Delicious drinks and appetizers

Loydi Montenegro

Best food ever

Kevin Broomell

We grabbed breakfast here while we stayed at the hotel and it was pretty tasty. Our waitress was very good. The menu is a tad expensive, but that's hotel restauranting.

Kwok Ching Yao

Great food with very nice presentation.

Anders Dybdal Nielsen

God hotel restaurant med rimelige priser. Deres seafood retter kan anbefales.

Atalaya Wilder

Great for lunch. Veggie panini!

Hans The Tech

One of the greatest restaurant's I have been to in Rhode Island. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Frantz Gabriel

GOT FIRED BECAUSE OF DISCRIMINATION; said my performance wasn't compelling with their restaurant standards, gave me unknown reasoning (said "I was staring at the ceiling for too long") for my termination. The manager Joe and the one of the owner Joe collectively terminated my employment due to personal reasons with me. hired more minorities to cover the fact that there prejudice. I advise you to be aware of their culture and see the underlining truth about this restaurant. This establishment is gradually losing its credibility. I recommend you get a drink by the amazing bartenders and cocktail waitresses but the satiation at the dining room is poorly kept morning and evenings.

cecil carreras

Place is amazing...food always delish. My second time going and I defenetly be back again.

Monet Chizmar

Really loved the customer service at Cento. The food was a bit sub par but they compt us and were extremely gracious. Gwen, our waitress was excellent. She was professional and service oriented. The GM and AGM came to our table a few times to check on us. The people next to us were jerks even though they compt their entire meal! I would recommend this place for a nice date night.

Duane Young-Kershaw

Do i need to leave a star. Piss poor service, getting told by out waiter to hold on minute. Try again! Ubered to Andinos! Much better!

Paul Riendeau

Went to home show, stopped in for lunch. My meal was cold, waitress never came back to check! No one out front to talk to. Unless you want to spend $100.00 for lunch, bad service and cold food stay away!

Jane Parent

Service is mediocre. Food and drink is awesome!
