Super cute, cozy restaurant and bar. We stopped in on a Tuesday date night. (Thanks for being open a Tuesday night). Chelsea provided phenomenal service- made suggestions and told us about the ALL DAY happy hour specials ($5 appetizer and desserts beers and rails). We had the mi amiga (?) pizza with guacamole on it and lots of unique flavor. It was rich so you didn’t need a lot. We split an app, pizza, dessert and still had leftovers. With drinks, including an espresso martini, we were still under $50. I’m intrigued by the unique pizzas and look forward to going back!! Oh yeah - the decor is very cute. Whole place feels warm and inviting.

Our family loves Centos! Always a fun atmosphere, delicious food and a great place to spend quality time! My personal favorite is the Gluten free Pig and the Fig. The kids love the mango smoothies and the coffee is top notch!

Cento Wood-fire Pizzeria & Cafe in Albert Lea, Minnesota, offers a unique blend of delicious cuisine and historical charm. Located in a building that has stood the test of time, the restaurant is housed in a structure that dates back to the early 1900s. Originally built as a retail space, the building was part of Albert Lea’s thriving downtown area during its peak as a hub for commerce and community activity. Over the years, the building has been home to various businesses, contributing to the local history and character of the area. The building’s architectural style reflects the period in which it was constructed, with vintage touches that have been preserved and integrated into the restaurant’s design. Many of the original features, such as the brick exterior and large windows, maintai

Love this space! Good crust, great salad, but too much sauce. On the road from Rochester to Omaha, I found this little gem looking to support local business as we passed through. We arrived and were seated immediately. Great service and the pizza was toasty hot! We got: Cheese bread - excellent. No complaints. Caesar half salad - delicious. No complaints. Margherita pizza - baked to perfection, the only thing less than desirable was the excessive amount of sauce. Overall, we will definitely go back if back in town. Just planning to try a different pie next time. ♥️

A true AL gem! Feels like something you’d find in a much bigger city. Atmosphere is always pleasant and clean. The artisan pizzas are the best I’ve ever had (my favorite is The Mission Statement). Thanks for a great place to gather!
