That's better than the name they decided on back in 06 or 07 (can't remember).. It was going to be something like Agora? Some word that apparently meant marketplace. Just hope they keep those sweet tunnels.

The name isn't as nice as Commons, but the sketches look nice. I will definitively go there once it's done.

In my opinion, visually it looks amazing. Also, Wok This Way-- that's cute.

It's Italian so it should be pronounced "Chen-tro"; but my suspicion is it will be pronounced by most people "Sent-tro".

Will they be increasing prices because of this? They're already high enough.

I don't imagine they will. They've been saving for this for awhile now.

"Centro" sounds like a robot to me. AWESOM-O, anyone?

You don't know that. It could be Spanish too, in which case, "Sent-tro" is fine.

Since we already have "La Piazza" I assumed this was part of a theme.
Also, there is far more "Italian" style food offered than there spanish or mexican food.
