Best Restaurants for Foodies in Northwest Columbus

Lindy was an excellent server and really connected with us and our needs (also tasted the white Malbec with me for both of our first time, which was super fun!). The environment was really lively! My husband thought it was a little on the loud side but I just saw a lot of happy people in a warm, colorful environment having a good time. The food was extremely well prepared, beautiful presented and very balanced - we hadn't had this perfect a dining experience in a very long time and hope to come back within the year to use the secret envelope we were given at the end of our meal. Barcelona surpassed our expectations and I will be singing its praises for quite some time.

Hostess was helpful and friendly. Bartending was on point. Ambience was warm, cozy, and welcoming. Music selection was noticeable and added to a great vibe. Our server was knowledgeable, personable, and technically proficient. Chef La Rocca was gracious, and was attentive to his guests. He and his kitchen staff take obvious pride in their craft. The end results…from appetizers thru dessert…were delicious! A little “Pura Vida” right in downtown Columbus!!

Maybe my favorite restaurant in the Columbus area. Wonderful experience every time I dine here. Certainly not your run of the mill downtown chain restaurant. Great neighborhoood restaurant with amazing food and top-notch service. Menu has everything from sandwiches, to pasta, to phenomenal seafood and steaks. Great wine selection, really nice hand crafted cocktails. Always has a great bar crowd, or you can choose a more intimate cozy booth. I'd call this place a hidden gem, but it's always busy, so the word is clearly out.

Outstanding as usual. Everything was so good. The food is amazing, tasty cocktails, and the wait staff was incredible. Highly recommend it!

Food is amazing. So delicious, and service was excellent. That’s why we keep returning
