    Great food, great service, great experience! It’s always tough deciding what to order at Z Cucina, but you’ll always end up with something delicious no matter what you end up choosing. The menu changes seasonally, and I’d highly recommend checking out the seasonal options whenever you visit, but the goat cheese and sundried tomato ravioli remain a favorite with me and the guests I’ve taken there. The service is wonderful, and the dishes are pretty reasonably priced for the portion and quality you receive. Overall, highly recommend visiting if you live in Columbus or if you’re visiting the city.

    Lupo is one of my favorite restaurants. The food and drinks are phenomenal. Their seasonal salads in particular are amazing. This time I had the seasonal poblano Caesar salad, which was delicious, and the seasonal burrata which was outstanding. The bacon wrapped dates are always amazing. Drinks were wonderful. Service is good.
