Centre Street Cafe

They rush a little bit with the check...but only why a lot of people are waiting to try their environment, hospitality and food. Simple, well prepared and very good. We can realize the attention in ever dish. Good program for Sunday morning.

It was fine. There was nothing objectionable, but it did not quite live up to its own implied promise. The dishes sound great on the menu and the presentation was beautiful, but when you take your first bite - there is a let down. Nothing was particularly flavorful. The pasta was well cooked, but everything, in the end was just a little drab. Nice atmosphere and attentive service. Small place - limited seating - consider a reservation.

Definitely Overpriced. The food was good. Not great, but good. We had brunch. The menu is definitely limited. Be prepared! There is a charge for every cup of coffee, which is not great coffee. We ended up paying $12 for four cups. The service was also somewhat gruff. We were never asked if our food was okay, and we were never told that there's no refills on coffee. Subpar cooking + crappy coffee = $38 brunch

Only redeeming quality of this place: Our waiter was very nice. Food was NOT at all worth it. We went for the seasonal "Harvest Omelette" due to the parsnips. I was so excited about the parsnips and wanted to get an extra order. Then the omelette came with next to nothing inside -- two ting shavings of parsnips, not much cheese at all, a minuscule portion of kale + tiny amount of pesto sauce. And the news that they couldn't give me a side of parsnips -- clearly because they were almost out of them, hence the two tiny shavings in the omelette. It was a large omelette because it was almost 100% egg. If I wanted an egg omelette I would have made it myself at home for $1 -- instead I paid $15 and then was charged for $4 side of kale just to fill the omelette a little more with something other than egg.The server was very nice but seemed to be scared of the woman in charge. I should have said something, but since he was scared of her I didn't feel like having an argument. Worst brunch experience of my life -- with tax and tip plus a $2 coffee, it was $26. For an OMELETTE with nothing in it! This was the worst brunch experience I have ever had. This is clearly a place people go to just because other people go there and not due to the quality of the food.

Not the Centre Street Cafe of brunch infamy. While that place was an immensely popular, and miserably long-lined, brunch spot, this is a new Italian eatery. Its menu is small and tightly constructed around (generally) smaller and shareable portions. The arancini were great as were the meat balls. Anytime you see pasta made on site, you have a good thing going. Far more daring that what you'd get in the North End, inventive and really good.

Famed neighborhood brunch spot. Unfortunately, food doesn't live up to the lines. Good spot for a standard brunch with good ingredients and a nice, busy atmosphere. Mark (works the tables/line) is great. Better brunch can be found in JP though...but perhaps it's best that secret is not yet out.

I came here with a friend for dinner, ran into another friend, and really enjoyed my meal. I parked on the street and had a cozy window seat table. It wasn't crazy busy, the staff was friendly and the food was really solid. We asked for the salad from the tasting menu and they let us do that which was super nice. My friend and I split the chicken parm (very yummy), the cacio e pepe (which was creamier and had wider noodles than I'd had in the past, but was great), and split a goat cheese desert which was super delicious and inventive. I'd definitely go back!

From start to finish, this place is high caliber. We were greeted warmly and given thoughtful reccomendation by Brian, our great server. We had a carafe of the delicious house red, and then started with the Caesar salad and tha asparagus appetizer. Everything is incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. My girlfriend and I shared one of the simple pasta dishes and loved it. Even though it was near closing time, our server encouraged us to get dessert and we chose the Panna cotta. So delicious. Loved every minute of our time in this place. We left feeling totally satisfied and felt totally welcomed during our entire meal.
