  An overview of recent ${\rm D^+}$, ${\rm D^0}$, ${\rm D^{*+}}$ and ${\rm
D_s^+}$ measurements performed by ALICE at central rapidity in proton-proton
collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 8 TeV, as well as lead-lead collisions at
$\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=2.76$ TeV, is presented. An emphasis is put on the
discussion of theoretical predictions with respect to the LHC Run I data.
