Salvatore Biundo is the owner of Italian eatery Centro Trattoria & Bar, the farm-to-fork Italian restaurant located in Hampton Bays. The storied road to the making of his beloved business comes from a rich background at home.
His grandmother lovingly passed on the secrets of the kitchen to him, and he proudly took that advice on his own journey to become a self-taught chef. His style has created a fresh take on old world tastes at his eatery. Incredible food has become a family affair with his wife helping manage the restaurant and his mom assisting at the stove.
Together they are poised to launch a new era of growth as they get ready to expand operations. Re-illuminating the outdoor eating experience this Mother’s Day they will open a grand patio deck in time for the summer season. Surrounding the lively setting will be an outdoor garden fountain and fireplace, full bar, live music, and two Bocce courts. Enchanting moments at the table are to be found in this 100-seat outdoor mezzanine.
Centro Trattoria & Bar serves dinner daily with all menu items made in house using many of the East End’s local, in season produce. Family recipes including fresh homemade pasta, individual pizzas from a wood burning oven and dishes with Mediterranean touches can be experienced in the new outdoor setting, as well as the indoor dining room.
Menu highlights include antipasti selections of clams oreganata, grilled octopus, fried goat cheese, mussels, fried Sicilian baby artichokes, fritto misto, Nonna’s meatballs, crispy zucchini chips, and antipasto classico for two. Enjoy fresh insalates such as caesar salad, calamari salad, arugula and apple salad, and an array of mouthwatering pizzas with your choice of margherita, braised short rib, sweet Italian sausage, prosciutto and Centro rustica.
