    Lunch side salad
    Jenny D.

    My bf took me here for their lunch special and we enjoyed it. He got the vegetarian pizza and I got the pesto pasta. Both came with the house side with our choice of dressing. We arrived at 11:15am but they said we'd have to wait for our server at 11:30am. 15 mins isn't a big deal but if you mind the wait, don't arrive earlier than that.

    This is what we ordered for dinner and yeah... we ate GOOD!

    Centro is officially a new favorite! The outdoor patio is beautiful and the whole space has such a great vibe! The food feels elevated but still comforting. Everything is incredibly flavorful and authentic. The vodka ravioli was a standout, rich sauce, perfect pasta, amazing cheese. The Caesar salad was also excellent. Crisp lettuce, anchovies, and generous Parmesan done just right. The experience honestly feels like it deserves a full, intentional place setting. Cloth napkins would be such a nice finishing touch for a restaurant doing this level of cuisine so well. Great food, great service, and a spot I'm already excited to return to!

    Rear entrance off parking lot and I to patio.

    Came here for lunch and the place was busy. We were first seated at one of the patio tables in the sun. After about 10 minutes of working on our tan with no server coming by we asked to move inside. By then, the 2-top indoor table had been taken. There are two small tables off to the side marked "café tables," which felt odd. We were asked to wait there while they cleaned a dining-room table, which took a good 15 minutes. Once we were finally seated, I had to flag down the hostess to let her know we were ready to order. At that point, we'd been seated at three different tables and had been at the restaurant for over 30 minutes. We ordered the vegetarian lasagna and the carbonara. Both were disappointing. The vegetarian lasagna had good flavor, but it was served less than room temperature, and the eggplant was undercooked and still hard making it difficult to cut. I don't expect every restaurant to use guanciale for carbonara, but using bacon instead of pancetta? I know my carbonara my ex is Roman. On the positive side, the hostess was sweet and our server was nice.

    Prosciutto pizza and added burrata with side of olive oil and vinegar, highly recommend!!

    Okay so finally got to try this spot, and it's very similar to the Tustin location. Got the fried calamari came with lemon and a marinara sauce, very lightly fried and fresh. Then we got the pesto gnocchi (shareable portion) and the prosciutto pizza and added burrata with a side of olive oil and vinegar. My god everything was so fresh, authentic and delicious. I also had the French rose (really light colored with no hint of pink fyi) I guess the Italian rose is more pink colored. Lots of staff to help with anything, dining is minimal, on the week days they seat only the upstairs and patio area, weekends the basement is open. I recommend it, service was quick, food was great, and to give you a price point, 3 glasses of wine, 1 app, 1 shareable pasta, and 1 pizza came out to $150 excluding tip.

    I usually go to the Tustin location but I love the Orange circle and wanted to check out there new place out and see if it comparable to one another. The location was very nice and aesthetic. I came during early dinner and was able to be sat right away. The waiter that helped us out was very informative and friendly. He asked if we had been to the Tustin location and gave us some of he's favorite dishes. Ended up ordering a carbonara, funghi, and a ravioli. All the dishes were super tasty and great overall. My favorite was the carbonara but I also liked how all the dishes went well with one another. I was extremely full after this meal and all the orders were ordered in half size even though you could do a full if wanted. I would highly recommend this place and also recommend taking a stroll around the circle to not feel super full and sleepy. I love how they kept the vibe of the building while trying to make it cute and modern. Bring your family and try a couple dishes out.

    Had the lavanda latte and it was great! It was hard to find the spot since it is new but it is walking distance and will be back!

    They are open!

    I have been waiting for this place to open for a while now and was very happy to try it at lunch today. The atmosphere was fantastic and the menu was such that I want to come back for more. Fantastic place to hit on a warm day.

    Sandwiches & Panini's on another level!

    Since opening in Orange we have gone twice. We had originally gone to Tustin location (yummy & beautiful) and were so excited it opened in our circle! And it did not disappoint. We tried pasta's, the sandwiches (which were so authentic), and the pizza might be the best I've tried! They have mastered their dough! Each time we've had a wonderful waitress! So friendly. Centro makes me feel like I'm in Italy.

    Salame Pizza - amazing!

    See all

Initially, we wanted to go during our first night, but we were too full from dinner, so we decided to come here on our second night. When we got here straight from the Disneyland shuttle, there was nobody behind the counter. But then a guy came out from the hotel bar apologizing to us for the wait, the cashier had to go take care of a delivery and that she would be right back. When she didn't come back after a couple of minutes, the guy took over the counter since there was already a line forming. iSwii simply translates to "I'm Sweet", and they indeed have endless sweet options here! I'm not really the biggest chocolate person anymore so I got a mango sorbet scoop in a small cup, while my LTP got a strawberry sorbet scoop, also in a small cup. Both were really good and, despite being all tired, I ended up finishing the entire thing even before he finished his. If you're looking for a good gelato place on hotel property and don't want to go anywhere else,, this is it. A definite must try!
