Dining Options

Centini’s service professionals are highly knowledgeable in food and wine and welcome our guests with warm, genteel hospitality.  There is also a side room which also provides upmost privacy with up to 32 seated, 16 in a boardroom style and may host a cocktail reception as well for up to 50 people.

Centini’s Private Dining Room seats up to 32, and is available as a private venue for lunch and dinner.  As a cocktail reception, the room holds up to 50 and may be used as a boardroom meeting for up to 24 people as well.  The room is the ultimate urban escape and is an ideal locale for confidential business meetings or personal occasions. Dramatically separate for the din of the lounge and dining room, Centini’s private room, which also houses the restaurant’s 30-foot tall wine cellar, provides an unsurpassed sense of drama and privilege. 

The Lounge and Theatre  For a more casual alternative, the Lounge and Theatre offer the full dining room menu in a more casual, interactive setting. The Lounge and Theatre are a user-friendly option for an informal business lunch, a late-afternoon snack or drink, or a light meal either before or after theatre. It's hard to imagine better food in a more congenial place than in the Lounge at Centini.

Streetside Alfresco
Weather permitting, Centini has one of the largest patios on 8th Avenue.  Enjoy full lunch and dinner service outside under the beautiful canopies.  Or just drop in for a pitcher of Sangria.

Cocktails and Hors D'Oeuvres  For the corporate or any sort of event, Centini has great capacity being able to hold up to 350 people for a cocktail and hors d'oeuvre reception.  Call with your reservation today!
