" Drago Centro is a great spot for Italian food! The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant. Even though it was packed during our visit, the staff handled everything efficiently. I had a seafood risotto that tasted amazing; fresh seafood in every bite! If you're in the area and craving Italian, this is the place to go. Make sure to make a reservation to avoid the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I originally chose Drago Centro because I wanted an authentic Italian meal. The crostini was delicious, and for my main dish, I went with the seafood pasta. The seafood was fresh, and the flavors shone through. The atmosphere is chic and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner. The service was friendly but a tad slow at times. In general, a fantastic dining experience; I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an incredible dinner at Drago Centro where every dish was exquisite! The ambiance was lovely, with just the right lighting for a nice dinner date. I have to say, the calamari was one of the best I've ever tasted—the perfect crisp! For the entrée, the grilled sea bass was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with a light sauce. A definite must if you're looking for true Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is probably my new favorite Italian restaurant! I loved the gnocchi, which was perfectly fluffy. The ambiance is also worth mentioning; it blends modern and traditional styles beautifully. The staff was polite, although it took a bit longer than expected to get dessert. I can forgive that because my cannoli was delightful! Overall, I had a wonderful birthday dinner here and can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Drago Centro is my go-to spot in downtown LA! I love their lunch specials and happy hour. The food is always fresh, and they offer a variety of authentic Italian dishes. I usually get the penne arrabbiata, which is spicy and flavorful. The only downside is the parking situation; it can be tricky. However, the food and service more than make up for it. Each visit has been consistent and satisfying! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Drago Centro is intimate and lively, perfect for a date night. I particularly enjoyed the grilled octopus appetizer, which was seasoned excellently. The pasta dishes were authentic and used fresh ingredients that really popped with flavor. The only downside was the wait time for our food, which was longer than expected, but it was worth it in the end. I’ll be back for sure, especially for the superb wines! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Drago Centro, and the experience was absolutely fantastic! The ambiance is classy yet comfortable, making it perfect for any occasion. I ordered the veal and was blown away by the flavor; it was cooked to perfection. The house-made pasta is a must-try, especially the cacio e pepe. Every bite was heavenly! The staff was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our glasses were always full. I'll definitely be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)
