  1. Bar Civita in Woodley park has half price bottles, off of our list every Tuesday.
  2. Wow, time certainly flies, thanks Don for reminding me of the days in Bethesda! I remember reading that article because I just opened LT.
  3. I have been off the forum for too long, so it is great to be back. I can assure you that we strive each hour of the day to get our place where we feel we need to be and we have been making great progress since our opening on April 28th. Consistency is the hallmark of a great restaurant, and that is what we strive to become, a solid fixture not only for Woodley Park, but for DC in general. On a side note.. We have some fun and interesting events coming up that I will post here as soon as we get it finalized. Thanks!

  6. we'll have white truffles at Centro starting November 7, also Stone crabs for those of you having a craving.
  7. Centro hiring for experienced cooks, busy fast paced environment, attention to detail a must, good organizational skills a plus. plenty of room for growth.
  8. At Centro we are introducing our early spring menu on Thursday. Things to look out for are first of the season fava beans with snapper, some nice looking wild Alaskan Halibut, beautiful steelhead salmon with microcress and asparagus sauce, and a sardinian grilled flatbread with spring veg caponata and caciocavallo cheese. Those are just a few....we are tired of braising, so we are starting a few days early...Hope that helps!!!
  9. Right now it is not... but our pastry chef is constantly changing the dessert menu so it will probably be on there shortly. He is Neapolitan and they are known for their sfogliatella. ciao
  10. Oh yeah,,, i was in residence last night, and tonight etc.... hope ya enjoyed everything...Salute
  11. Centro modern influenced Italian cuisine is looking for line cooks,,,,grill, saute, pasta......contact Chef LaCivita 301 951 1988. or email liamlacivita@adelphia.net great opportunities for advancement.
  12. ....someone has to cook while the chef isnt there...., if the food is consistent than the chef must be doing his job..
  13. True,,, but we all still have to understand the hardest part about being the "chef" is to teach his cooks how he/she wants them to cook. His or her style, that in itself is the hardest part of the job!!! You try teaching someone how to cook from a completely different country, let alone teaching them the difference between speck and prosciutto... Thats where the chef comes in..hahah.. I agree more than 2 days you lose focus, i take 2 days, sometimes 1, after 2 days i cant wait to get back to the stoves, hell thats where im comfortable. Not doing PR....
  14. True, but the dc dining scene has been improving... somewhat, and yes lots restaurants still rest on their laurels. Isnt true the reasons restaurants go out of business so quickly is because they take style and architecture over the cuisine anyways?? and of course poor management
  15. maybe more and more people moving to the burbs, NoVa, Maryland....also I think people are making more money, the economy has been growing at a pretty steady rate, especially this area. Also the competition in dc and surrounding areas is growing steadily, making dc a more exciting place to eat...thank god! People dont mind spending money, as long as they get what they paid for and more so.
  16. when i first started out in this crazy profession that was one of the first books i read and was very impressed...!!! definetely a must read!!!
  17. Bethesda restaurant week begins also in January.....I believe 23-29.....so we basically have 2 weeks of inexpensive dining in dc and the burbs....though im not sure which restaurants other than ours is participating....I do know alot more than its first one in July...
  18. definetely an interesting issue...... look forward to seeing what else is in store for the dc dining scene
