Italian

Casual Dining

Part of Vizz Group LLC

At Osteria Centrale, Italian hospitality meets the unmistakable energy of Grand Central Terminal. We’re bringing a lively Italian restaurant and bar to one of New York’s most extraordinary settings, with food, aperitivo and wine at the center of the experience. It’s a place for lunch in the middle of a busy day, a drink before the train, and the kind of warm welcome that turns first-time guests into regulars.

Behind that experience is a team that takes pride in its craft, stays sharp when the room is full and looks after one another. For people who love the pace and personality of a great restaurant, Centrale is a chance to help shape something new in the heart of the city.
