Centra

Another Italian night Also been wanting to check this place but due to their break hour and our shift worker schedule it just never happened until one Sunday we found a reason to splurge 😁 Great pizza toppings selection Pasta too al dente for me (read:hard) Desserts- tiramisu was good. Cannolo ‘s pistachio ricotta was powdery We’ll be back to try some other menu another time! #bulgogi_n_rendang

This place was not our first choice but what a great find. From the get go, the service has been outstanding. The staff is always smiling and very attentive. We started with arancini balls with peas and mint. It tasted better than it sounds and the combination works! We also tried the pancetta pizza & grilled swordfish. The stand out was the seafood linguini which was jam packed with flavour of the sea. It was a satisfying meal.

Unseasoned soggy skinned fish of the day with a similarly bland and mismatched mess of unfilling accompaniments. A completely flat soda and lime in place of the ordered tonic and orange. When I returned it the guy seemed like he'd never been behind a bar before, didn't know where the gin was, spent close to a minute rummaging in the fridge trying to find tonic. Easily the worst meal of the year. Big regret.

Centra is a welcoming bistro that provides classic Italian staples. While I was there I got to try their arancini, seafood linguine and rocket pizza. The arancini had a neat little chilli hit that I wasn't suspecting. They gave us quite a few arancini balls, which was great since the serving sizes of the pasta and pizza are small. The seafood linguine was nice enough but it was a little bit bland. Fortunately, the prawns were cooked perfectly. The pizza dough was delicious and fresh. The tomato sauce was overly salty and the toppings were very light (even for a traditional Italian pizza), yet it was still pretty good. The acoustics in the venue are attrocious. We could barely hear each other from a foot away. The staff were exceptionally friendly though. Our waiter was very helpful with choosing our drinks. Overall, I enjoyed some of the food but felt like there was a little more to be desired considering the high price point.
