Have you tried our Fiore di Zucca pizza? Translated as of the flower of zucchini, this is crazy seasonal deliciousness! Raven Zucchini, Zucchini flower,Ricotta, Basil, Provolone. And a little garlic & parmigiano for the win. ❤️

@chefamybdc and @hi_yah_boom gave a sneak peek of our savory cannoli to @fox5dc with @jsidman a taste of what’s coming to the SOLD OUT @washingtonianmag Best of Washington party this Thursday!

The city’s best night out is back with DC’s best spots, unlimited sips, and excellent summer energy. We. Can’t Wait.

See you there!

“A decade after opening, Centrolina is as enticing as ever” — @tomsietsema @washingtonpost

We are deeply honored and grateful to be featured in this beautiful 10-year review of Centrolina! Thank you @tomsietsema for capturing the heart of what we do - from Centrolina’s open kitchen to our seasonal menu, our incredible team, and the spirit that connects Centrolina and @piccolinadc in Palmer Alley in @citycenterdc.

A decade in and we still show up every day with the same passion, purpose, and belief in the power of a great meal to bring people together.

To everyone who have dined with us, supported us, and grown with us — thank you. It means the world.

Read the full piece at the link in bio — and come see us soon, either for lunch, dinner, or a visit to Piccolina. We’ll be ready.

Ciao from Centrolina’s Mercato!

The market is filled with Chef Amy’s favorite things, and we hope it has become your go-to pantry in @citycenterdc —whether you’re a neighbor, browsing after lunch, or even just strolling through!

Every day, our selection of fresh ingredients changes, offering everything from fettuccine and red wine pappardelle to fresh salmon, branzino, and hamachi. Our kitchen keeps things stocked with housemade sauces like pesto, hummus, pomodoro, and veal ragù. And from our sister spot @piccolinadc, we have freshly baked stirato (Italian baguette), sourdough, and walnut raisin bread—plus, on Fridays, warm challah fresh from the oven.

We’re also curating a special wine-tasting event soon, featuring selections from Tuscany to the Langhe. Prefer something non-alcoholic? We’ve got delicious mocktails waiting for you!

And last but certainly not least—a big shoutout to Sam, the friendly face you all know and love. He’s celebrating 10 years with the Centrolina family this year! Thank you to Sam for everything you do!

Stop by soon, explore our market, and let us help you stock your kitchen with the best ingredients. See you at the Mercato!
