Centrale Review

Housed in an old palazzo, this casual place has served meals since 1889. One entire wall is covered with a vast mirror, the others are adorned with Sicilian pottery. An outdoor terrace soothes diners in summer. The seasonal menu includes local preparations such as coppole di cacchio (peppers stuffed with spaghetti, potato, and basil), grilled pork chops, and a 15th century specialty called controfiletto di vitello all'annese—a veal filet with onions, artichokes, pig jowel, and white wine. Choose from a decent selection of Sicilian wines to accompany your meal.
