Unfortunately, this did not live up to the expectations. We could have eaten anywhere for 2 in Columbus for the same price and a world’s better experience. All 3 courses (app, pasta piccolo and pasta) were cold! We brought this to the servers attention and the pasta course was remade but not to the same quality (warm, def not hot). Server was passionate and we appreciated his efforts but without management/owners that are going to take care of a guest experience, we will not recommend or try again. (They gave us a full bill with nothing but I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience)

The food was beautifully described and plated. Unfortunately, the flavor profiles fell flat, dishes came out lukewarm, almost cold. The waiter and hostess were responsive and offered to remake. Unfortunately, the remade dishes were still not great. The dessert was described as moist but was very dense and dry. Pretty pricey for food we didn't love. $200+ for three after tip. The restaurant itself was lovely. Small footprint made it feel cozy but the noise level was quite high. In all fairness, we had a couple next to us that were very loud talkers. The staff was attentive. Hoping it was just an off night for them in terms of their food.

Great food and amazing staff! I enjoyed the entire experience. This place is very expensive for what you get. As great as this place is, it unfortunately wasn't worth the price. Heads up, don't expect any protein options. Most dishes are vegetarian with a few exceptions for flavor, not substance. The quality of the dishes did not suffer for this, but it would have been good to know.

We tried almost all of the pastas, and they were very bland….. extremely overpriced for what you get….also we booked online and charged a fee percentage on top of the bill because we booked online….. we will never go back.
