I was recently asked by a friend where she should go for a nice dinner with the kids. You know, a place that wouldn’t mind loud children or a little mess. She has a 1 year old and an almost 5 year old and I knew just the place… Central Bistro.
Central Bistro is one of the restaurants in the Osio Group, along with Sumomaya, Kale & Clover and Local Bistro. It’s located off of Camelback and 32nd St, next to another one of my favorite places, DryBar. Inside you’ll find the restaurant inviting and hip, their food is American but it has a little bit of an international twist. They have hand-made pastas and risottos, pizzas, steaks, fabulous salads and so much more. You’ll find mouthwatering menu options from handmade burrata with fried green tomatoes, Calabrian chili marmalade and mint, ricotta tortellini with sweet corn puree, marinated tomato, chili and herbs to chicken pesto pizza and my favorite the hard cider glazed pork shank (pictured above).
Their drunk bread is also an item you should not miss out on. It’s so popular that it has it’s own little section on the menu. We opt for the prosciutto laden crusty bread soaked in swiss fondue, white wine with apples, hazelnuts and honey (pictured above left).
Parents, you need to take advantage of their kids eat free 3-7pm daily deal! Not bringing the kids, this is a great date night spot too. Their menu changes regularly with the seasons so be sure to check out what they have to offer on their website here: http://centralbistroaz.com/
