A for effort

Not a lot of options. Should have tried the pizza.

Pros: The bruschetta can be ordered vegan with avocado. , Ambiance is nice, Great drink menu

Cons: Tofu gnocchi was a total miss for me

Vegan options

Grateful for them offering vegan options. The gnocchi as been really really good a couple of times I have eaten it and quite bland some of the other times I’ve been, the vegan pizza is good but I would ask for it with less vegan cheese (when I got it they put way too much on)

That gnocchi is bland

Lots of reviewers are touting the gnocchi. I mean, it's OK, but nothing to rave about. It's quite bland and I added a lot of salt and pepper. I wish Centro would add more vegan options. It's not that difficult to make pasta with veggie, marinara, or nut-based cream sauce. But I will likely return anyway, because I work in DT Des Moines, and Centro is convenient.

Pros: Friendly, At least a couple of vegan options, fast

Cons: lackluster flavor, not enough variety

Consistently good

This place has been around for a long time but I’ve always had good service, well executed food and a nice dining experience overall.

Pros: Outside great

Cons: Lots of standards but done well, Great pizza and salads

delicious

Had the vegan tofu gnocchi with red sauce and Brussels sprouts. Both were fantastic. The waitress was very friendly and pleasant about my requests for no cheese. Great experience.

Pros: delicious

Cons: not many options

Very Good, Limited Menu

The gnocchi was as good as claimed. Upscale, but not overly expensive. I hope that they will expand the vegan selections. But I would also order the gnocchi again.

There is covered outdoor seating available.

Pros: The limited vegan choices don't rule out visiting., What they do have for vegans is good., Not as expensive as expected.

Cons: Limited menu.

wow

I'm sitting here at centro drooling over my plate of tofu gnocchi. There are not words, I've easily got a new after work spot for veg fare. So tasty!!

Great for a date night!

Really nice for a fancy meal - the servers are very helpful. The tofu gnocchi is delicious, and the last time we went, they made us a special vegan brussels sprout appetizer and offered us fresh sorbet for dessert.

Pros: Knowledgeable Staff, Good Food, Nice Atmosphere

Cons: Vegan options not labeled, Not many default vegan options, A little expensive
