About Centrolina Restaurant and Market:

OSTERIA
Authentic, regional Italian cooking and seasonal availability is the inspiration for Chef Amy Brandwein's menu at Centrolina. Guests, with views of fresh market produce, an open kitchen and terracotta-clad wood oven, are immersed in the cooking experience as they dine.

The menu features seasonal and frequently rotating dishes that showcase regional food from all over Italy and relies heavily on what is offered in the chef-driven market, whether that's pinched beef ravioli, spaghetti alla chitarra with chanterelle mushrooms, grilled branzino or wood-roasted meat and vegetables. The beverage program features a wine list that combines imported Italian favorites with the best of Virginia, a beer selection that skews heavily local and a short list of classic Italian cocktails given a contemporary twist.

MERCATO
At Centrolina's retail wing, Chef Amy Brandwein dons the grocer's apron, giving her guests a shopping experience that reflects her personal experiences with Italian cooking and the products and produce she loves and uses.

Imported and specialty items share counter space with fantastic local produce, meat, cheese and seafood. Grocery items include dried pasta from all over Italy as well as fresh pasta made from the Centrolina kitchen, accompanied by nearly a dozen house-made sauces.

The dairy and produce sections are stocked with goods from farmers and artisans from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Italian specialty items include anchovies, olives, vinegar, olive oil, salumi, imported and local cheeses and sweets. Wine and craft beer is also available for sale.
