Fodor's Expert Review Centrolina

This bright, airy Italian osteria has an adjoining market and a daily changing menu that is all about locally sourced meats and produce, as well as sustainable fish. Authentic and innovative, pastas and sauces are made fresh daily, and the specials change regularly. One night you might find octopus, another branzino or tempura dipped in aioli. Eclectic, fresh, and fun, the restaurant is in the new CityCentreDC development near the convention center. There's a fun bar with knowledgeable, friendly bartenders and a casual vibe. There's also a full-service coffee bar. Don't forget to pick up some fresh biscotti or olive oil in the market on your way out.
