"The menu of our modern day Osteria is a snapshot of what Italy does best - exquisite food and wine in a romantic mediterranean setting with a vibrancy evocative of the old water ways of Venice or the market squares of Rome.
Our restaurant retains this ambience but has evolved to more sophisticated venues serving a larger variety of stimulating and delicious foods and wine."
*Draw will be held on Thursday 25th January. Winners name will be posted on Facebook and Centenary website.
Failure to hear from the winner will mean a new winner will be drawn in 5 days. Decision will be final, no correspondence to be entered into.
