About This Venue
Centro is a downtown Des Moines Italian restaurant at 1003 Locust Street with a private dining room adjacent to the main restaurant. The space handles groups from 6 up to 120 in either banquet or reception configurations, while the main dining room accommodates smaller parties of 6 to 12. Event menus draw from the restaurant's kitchen — appetizers, full-course dinners, pizzas, and desserts — covering everything from private banquets and receptions to chef-driven dinners.
A few practical notes: the patio and bar are not available for private reservation, so larger events route through the private room, and bookings go through the events contact rather than the host stand. With its Locust Street address a short walk from downtown offices and hotels, it is best for corporate dinners, rehearsal dinners, holiday parties, and milestone birthdays built around a serious Italian menu.
