    We dined here for my wife’s birthday and everything was perfect! The service was fantastic and we really enjoyed talking with the Sommelier, Matt. He gave us some excellent recommendations for wine and was very knowledgeable and kind. He even shared some recommendations for wineries for an upcoming trip to Oregon. The carpaccio was delicious, the endive salad was so refreshing and yummy, and the pasta was great also. It was the best meal I’ve had in a while, and the service and ambiance were awesome. Highly recommend!

    Thoughtful menu, excellent ingredients, and beautiful plated. After Leah explained the dishes we couldn’t help but order the chefs tasting menu and every dish was perfection. Great wine selection too and our waitress Leah even knew fun details of the winery and winemaker. The passion for food and craft is evident in every detail. Will be bragging about this meal and returning soon! One of the best picks in Columbus and a must if you appreciate Italian cuisine.

    Enjoyed my desserts (pear ice cream and chocolate mousse). My only critique is the chocolate mousse had too much stuff on it. I really want to enjoy the mousse….but to get to it I have to fight the sugared nuts! I appreciate the effort, but the toppings prevent my ability to experience the pure chocolate-ness of mousse-ness!LOL
