Chef/owner, Centrolina and Piccolina da Centrolina
Amy Brandwein is the Chef and Owner of Centrolina and Piccolina da Centrolina in Washington, DC. Brandwein shows Washingtonians the versatility, grace, and overall delicacy of Italian cuisine. The seven-time James Beard Award nominee believes food should taste as good as in Italy, plated with pose, and viewed through the seasonal lens of the Mid-Atlantic.
With a dedication to responsibly and locally sourced ingredients, Brandwein became an early partner with DC Urban Greens, a nonprofit urban farm located in Ward 7 and 8, that provides fresh and affordable produce to the local community—Centrolina and Piccolina are DC Urban Green’s only wholesale client.
An advocate for charities that support healthy eating and ending hunger, Brandwein is also an active supporter of World Central Kitchen, DC Central Kitchen, Martha’s Table, and So Others Might Eat. She is a longtime member of Les Dames d’Escoffier, James Beard Foundation Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership Program, Regarding Her, and a mentor at The LEE Initiative.
