This Italian American Heritage Month, we celebrate Chef Celestino Drago and the story he has spent decades sharing with Los Angeles.

From Sicily to California, his career has been rooted in the traditions of Italian cooking, hospitality, family, and the belief that the table is where people come together.

Drago Centro is part of that legacy — a reflection of where he comes from, what he has built, and the traditions he continues to carry forward through every dish and every guest welcomed through our doors.

Grazie mille, Chef Celestino, for sharing your roots, your craft, and your love of Italian cuisine with Los Angeles.

Buon Mese del Patrimonio Italiano-Americano. 🇮🇹

The simplest dishes are often the most difficult to perfect.

Chef Celestino Drago describes this octopus pasta as simple in appearance, but highly technical in ex*****on.

The octopus is carefully braised until perfectly tender, then ground into the sauce to create layers of flavor and texture that can’t be achieved any other way.

Now featured on our new Summer Menu.
