If Napoli style pizza is your thing (and by now dammit it should be), then you need to get here…read more The local area has received a boost in quality pizza in the last 12 - 18 months buoyed by the opening and success of Sapore Di Napoli in Kingsgrove, Centro is another impressive offering in a shopfront which has failed to impress with string of businesses opening and folding in quick succession. Please sweet baby Cheeses, don't let this be the same. The pizza is outstanding, you can tickle your pizza pickle with traditional red base or if you're into living a little - try the Bianchi base, the prosciutto one is insane. If you're in the area and you're thinking about pizza, which should be a standard thought process - it won't disappoint.

I had finished watching Master of None Season 2 and after seeing all the amazing Italian food on TV…read moreI was on the hunt for good Italian close to me at the time. I messaged some Italian relatives-in-laws and it was clear I had to check out Napoli Centro. Located close to Bardwell Park Train Station and short walk just past it you'll find a clean window view into a simple but classic Italian restaurant. Framed pictures on the wall and the smell from the wood fire oven leaves you salivating. We ordered quickly as we were luckily to get a table, surprisingly the place was packed when we got there. Arancini (Rice Balls), Buffalo Mozzarella Salad with a Fettuccine Biascola and Margarita pizza. The Pizza was the star, closely followed by the pasta both light and left you wanting more. Truly classic Napoletana style in delivery and taste. Unfortunately we were in a rush, so no desert but I'll be back because the gelato looked good as well.

A super nice restaurant. While the windy weather didn't help the outside seating atmosphere, we…read morewere met with warm hospitality and delicious food. We were given four different menus, one regular, one drinks, one with daily specials, and another with other specials. Okay, a bit all over the place but I came here to eat the food, not eat their menus. Pizza for me and pasta for my lady, along with two drinks. The service was quick and the waiting time for the food was minimal. The pasta, Spaghetti Gamberi, was very delicate in flavour; prawns, zucchini, and olive oil. The pizza, a White based "Kogarah" was hands down amazing. Cooked in a wood fire oven on perfect dough. Topped with bacon, mushrooms, parmesan cheese and a drizzle of cream. It was just last week I was thinking why don't we have white sauced pizzas when we have a whole heap of white sauced pastas. The bill was around $50 - $60. The only issue was the extraordinary loud drilling being done next door at a construction site. Literally everyone seated stopped talking and looked over at the building site for the 20 second duration of the drilling. Only happened once, thank heavens.

It's also busy as more customers after us weren't able to get in. Not knowing what's good on the menu, we took AI's suggestion. And AI matched what the server suggested! We got 3 dishes: *Cantabrian anchovy, sourdough, cultured butter *Spaghetti cacio e pepe *Mafaldine, prawns, tomato, kombu butter I loved the mafaldine the most as it has the added texture of pangrattato. I learned later that Pangrattato, or "poor man's parmesan," is a classic Italian topping made by frying coarse, stale breadcrumbs in olive oil with garlic, herbs, and chili flakes until golden and crunchy. I think it's a bit pricey for a small and simple pasta dish. However, I might be comparing this to North American prices.

The staff is friendly and engaging and watching the final prep on the food was great fun. We started with an Australian merlot and two local oysters. Both were so good.

I came here with…read moremy partner last night after a couple of our friends told us it was their favourite Italian in Bondi. We came at 8pm on a Sunday evening and it was packed so we put our name down and came back later. There are 16 options for pasta "sauces" that include a variety of meat, vegetables, herbs, etc. Then you choose from home-made pastas: gnocchi, fettuccine, spinach/ricotta ravioli, veal ravioli, penne or spaghetti. Per our friends suggestion we went with the fettucine pasta with the Bassano sauce (italian sausage, exotic mushrooms, porcini, fresh basil and sage, Napoli, dash of cream). It was AMAZING! The home-made noodles were cooked to perfection and the sauce was absolutely delicoius. It was $25 for the secondo (main) size which I think is reasonable. We also ordered the Parmagiana Catania (eggplant parmesan) that comes with bread and a side salad. It wasn't anything unique but the portion size was huge and the side salad helped balance out the heavy cheesy dish. Oh yeah, the garlic bread we ordered as a starter was awesome. With 2 mains, garlic bread and 1 glass of wine the bill came to $66 for two people. Not bad! We'll be back to eat our way through the rest of their menu!

The staff offered crayon for my kids to draw on the table, and politely almost apologetically informed us when one of their specials were not available. - The Wagyu Beef Ragu Pappardelle was delicious. Now the negatives: - Portion was too small. - The Seafood Risotto that my husband had hardly contain any seafood in it. There were tiny pieces of fish, cut pieces of prawn and that's it. For $21.8 a plate we expect to see on the plate at least some mussels, a few pieces of fully intact prawns in all their glory. When we ordered seafood risotto, we want to see seafood and not just a soupy risotto with a few cut pieces of what looked like leftover seafood they found in their fridge. - The Australian Pizza though delicious was again sparse in toppings. In summary, it was pretty average. I was expecting more, but at least everything was delicious. Tip: they don't take Eftpos and Amex, and charged 3% if you pay with credit card.

The food here is exceptional. I had the half roasted duck with turnip, carrot and roasted chestnuts. It came absolutely smothered in a honey like glaze which made it incredibly rich. Friends had the Osso Bucco, the roasted lamb and the pasta carbonara. All were bursting with flavour. My favourite part was the Zucchini flowers stuffed with goats cheese in tempura. I also liked that you could order fried lamb's brains as an entree. Mmmm Brains. Make sure to get the garlic bread and the warm olives to start. Red wine selection is fairly substantial. Parking is at a premium. Bring your Dolla billz, yo.
