Great food and well set up. One small issue with the service after I saw a chip in my glass and very nearly swallowed a bit of glass. Mentioned it to the waiter who said he would get me another drink. It never appeared. My fault for not mentioning it further, but … apart from that this place was really good.
Centra is a welcoming bistro that provides classic Italian staples. While I was there I got to try their arancini, seafood linguine and rocket pizza. The arancini had a neat little chilli hit that I wasn't suspecting. They gave us quite a few arancini balls, which was great since the serving sizes of the pasta and pizza are small. The seafood linguine was nice enough but it was a little bit bland. Fortunately, the prawns were cooked perfectly. The pizza dough was delicious and fresh. The tomato sauce was overly salty and the toppings were very light (even for a traditional Italian pizza), yet it was still pretty good. The acoustics in the venue are attrocious. We could barely hear each other from a foot away. The staff were exceptionally friendly though. Our waiter was very helpful with choosing our drinks. Overall, I enjoyed some of the food but felt like there was a little more to be desired considering the high price point.
This place was not our first choice but what a great find. From the get go, the service has been outstanding. The staff is always smiling and very attentive. We started with arancini balls with peas and mint. It tasted better than it sounds and the combination works! We also tried the pancetta pizza & grilled swordfish. The stand out was the seafood linguini which was jam packed with flavour of the sea. It was a satisfying meal.
Five star service, great ambience as they have outdoor courtyard which is nice on sunny days. We had pizza and Arancini balls which were delicious. Greatly recommended pizza place in Geelong.
Fantastic staff. Went out of their way to accommodate us on Mother's Day with no booking.
Best authentic Italian pizza in Geelong. Calamari melt in your mouth. And the Mother's day cocktail was amazing.
From the time we entered the restaurant we felt welcome. We were handed over to Chris who looked after us for the evening. Chris was amazing with his knowledge of the menu and his service . We also had Connor help us who was also amazing with his service.
Our meal was delicious, well presented and still hot . Loved it.
Thank you for making a rare meal out so enjoyable.
Also noticed another table receive all their meals at the same time which is rare nowadays.
Seafood linguine was perfect, the sauce was absolutely delicious. 100% will come again
Fantastic service and yummy food. We were given a private room which was fabulous for our big family gathering. The staff were friendly and attentive. Beautiful atmosphere. We will certainly be back.
