“ Amazing experience, service was great even during low season! They have a terrace on the street and makes it the perfect spot for a drink or food! The owner is amazing! Would definitely recommend this spot! ”
“ Food is really good. I got a pasta Frutto di Mare (sorry for my italian). The location is one of the best. I guess all the bad reviews were in rush hours. Not my case at dinner. ”
“ My experience at Bar Centrale was thoroughly enjoyable. The seafood platter was the best I have had in Italy. I meet a table of travellers, who like myself had returned back to enjoy the service and food. The owners and wonderful staff were friendly and attentive. ”
“ We noticed this restaurant on our first night but it was always super busy. We made a point to try it tonight and wow, so delicious! Was one of my favourites so far in Riomaggorie. The pasta was fresh and the flavours were memorable. We tried a few different dishes and ordered a bottle of wine. I would go back again and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic pasta! ”
“ In the afternoon we walked by this bar/restaurant. It was very quite at the time and they were almost closing the kitchen. Nevertheless the waitress, who was very friendly, told us we could have a meal (it was around 2PM). It's a nice place to sit, sourrounded by the typical, Italian buildings. The food was very good for the price we paid and i must say that the reviews i read here are absolutely not what we experienced here. Maybe because it was quite. We tried the beef tagliata and pasta vongole with a starter of fresh anchovies. The presentation was simple but nice. The tastes were combined very well and the ingredients are of good quality. I sure do recommend to visit this place. ”
