Centro, meaning "city center" in Italian, is the core of Italian cuisine in Des Moines. Located within a renovated Masonic Temple, this renowned eatery features traditional favorites like pizza, pasta, and homemade artisan bread. It's a great after-work destination, offering a daily happy hour from 3pm to 6pm during the week, though you can as easily have a celebratory meal, family dinner, or casual meal here. Peruse the wine list to find a pairing for your meal and you'll fall in love with Italy from as far away as Des Moines.
