    Food was delicious- we had not been here since April 2019. The grapefruit mule was fabulous. The calamari was perfectly fried and added peppers and leeks. But the star of the show was the veal piccata! The veal was perfectly breaded and the most tender . I am not usually a white sauce fan, but the sauce with the fresh linguine was outstanding. Guests likes the lasagna and the smoked chicken ravioli!!We can’t wait to go back the next visit to Columbus. To add a round of applause to Liz A. Our server. She was so friendly and attentive! We would ask for her again!!

    This is my second time coming for Happy Hour, and again, lived up to my expectations!!! The service is amazing and the food took a lot shorter than expected, especially since we ordered two pizzas and salads, along with our drinks. The pizzas were phenomenal and I cannot recommend them both, the truffle and seasonal butternut squash, enough! The restaurant itself is very pretty on the inside and the lighting is light just enough, without being too bright. The manager is also very lovely and you can tell they really care about the restaurant and customers. Will definitely be coming back!!
