The red-sauce artisans of Cafe Centro transport tongues to northern Italy with a menu of homemade pastas, fresh seafood, and crispy gourmet pizzas favorably featured in the Palm Beach Post. Practice tongue-braiding skills with the fettuccine d'aragosta ($19.95), al dente ribbons tangled with lobster and leeks in a brandy-cream sauce. The branzino, a whole grilled sea bass, arrives fresh from Italy ($22.95), and the free-range chicken in a honey-mustard glaze climbs as contentedly as Popeye into a bed of garlicky spinach ($16.95). A quintet of thin-crust pizza selections includes the classic margherita ($11.95) and the con salsiccia e cipolla ($13.50) dotted with sweet italian sausage and vidalia onions.

Crystalline chandeliers dangle from Cafe Centro's ceilings, allowing the exposed-brick dining room to flaunt its edginess while remaining firmly planted in luxury, like a performance-art major with a trust fund. Ears listen in to the flirtations between fingers and ivories at the piano bar, and blushing lips can retire with a cup of italian espresso to the verdant patio. During dinner, guests can pull up for free valet parking.
