Private Dining in Washington, D.C. at Centrolina
Female-owned and operated | Chef-Led Seasonal Italian Cuisine

Looking for an exceptional private dining experience in Washington, D.C.? Centrolina offers two stunning, fully private dining rooms in the heart of downtown—perfect for corporate events, rehearsal dinners, group celebrations, and business lunches.

Founded and operated by Chef Amy Brandwein, a 7-time James Beard Award nominee, Centrolina brings bold, seasonal Italian cuisine to elevated group dining in an elegant, modern setting.

Our Private Dining Spaces Include:

• The Wine Room – An intimate and elegant space ideal for smaller gatherings. The Wine Room seats up to 10 guests with full privacy when the doors are closed, making it perfect for business meetings or quiet celebrations. For a slightly larger group, the space can accommodate up to 12 guests with the doors open, allowing for a more open and connected ambiance to the main dining room.

• The Chef’s Salon – A versatile and contemporary private dining room that comfortably seats up to 30 guests. The space features an open kitchen that can be fully activated for an interactive, chef-led experience—or discreetly concealed behind closed doors for a more traditional private setting. With the doors closed, guests won’t even know the kitchen exists, allowing the room to transform seamlessly to suit your event’s tone and style.

Looking for something larger? Full buyouts of our Osteria are available for up to 100 guests—ideal for rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, holiday parties, and private chef-led dinners.

All Private Dining Spaces Include:

• Complete privacy with floor-to-ceiling walls and doors
