Centro Bar & Kitchen

GLUTEN-FREE FRIED CHICKEN!! I don't know any other places in Reno with GF fried chicken! I could just stop my review there ;) I've never actually written a review for Centro because I was always underwhelmed by the food and the gluten-free options were minimal. This was despite going there occasionally because the space is so cozy and cute and the location convenient. However, I learned that there is a new owner/Chef and the menu has evolved for the better! While keeping some of the things that were always there. There are so many gluten-free choices now because the fryer is 100% GF and they are using cornstarch and GF flour! There is some hidden soy in a few things but the Chef is super knowledgeable. Everything we had was amazing and I can't wait to go back to try everything. I'm excited about all these things that are GF (there are others too): Fried Chicken, Fried Artichokes, Brussel sprouts, the Pan fried Corvina with rice cakes and bokchoy, grilled octopus, roasted harissa carrots, hamachi, lemon tart, and almond cake. Sounds like the menu changes frequently so these exact things might not be there and the menu isn't marked Gluten Free because of the frequent changes. But I'm guessing it will all be as good and its easy to ask!

The food and staff was top notch. I've never really cared for the idea of Tapas, but this place did it really well. The filthy fries and shrimp po boys were delicious, and the donut holes were also excellent. Our friend has a gluten allergy, and they were extremely willing to make changes and accommodate our friend, which was really nice to see.
