This little Italian restaurant captured my attention with the interesting architecture of the building and doesn't disappoint on the inside. It feels more formal than the typical pasta joint, but cozy and comfortable nonetheless. Although they have an extensive wine list, they post a small list of featured wines which helps one from feeling overwhelmed with choices. I ended up with a lovely Moscato, sweet, sparkling, delicious!
A great start to go along with the lovely combo appetizer platter Josh supplied our table with. Goat cheese and warm pita was the best! The menu had several delicious looking pizzas, but it is hard to pass up seafood ravioli. I haven't realy met a ravioli I didn't like, and this one was no exception. I liked it just fine; but it wasn't special and I was hoping for special. I got sucked in by the atmosphere and the appetizers but was disappointed in the bland pillows that didn't hint of fresh (or otherwise) seafood, just ricotta. I had to ask for fresh parmesan cheese and was sad to see glass shakers of dried parmesan sitting on our table. Il Centro didn't seem like a "Pizza Hut" joint, so the shakers seemed out of place.
All was not lost, however! Crispy eggplant parmesan ordered by Sara had such a generous serving Sarah shared with the table allowing me several heavenly bites. Ravioli forgotten, I enjoyed my appetizer, Moscato and eggplant and wouldn't mind returning to try one of the pizzas.
Final score 3.5 of 5. It doesn't hurt that Glace' is just down the street!
