- BBarbaraColumbus •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFrom the valet, through the softly lit entranceway and view of the patio, to the hostess stand and into the bar to wait for our family, the experience was pleasant and everyone was professional and welcoming. We were seated in a room off the kitchen for our dinner. It was beautiful with fresh hydrangeas, nice lighting and our amazing server, Zach. As he described the menu items, we knew we were in for an authentic Italian dinner. The entire meal was delicious and filled with new tastes and new ingredients that we had not had before. We look forward to visiting their patio in the summer.More infoCento – German VillagePrice: Expensive• Italian• German Village•4.8

- DDanCincinnati / Dayton •16 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis is our first time eating at this restaurant. It is a beautiful place. The location is good but I think you have to do street parking. The seating are comfortable, some tables are small and we were seated close to the kitchen so there was a lot of traffic. The food was very good. Our server was excellent. The salmon was very good and so the pasta. The drinks were OK. I am very particular about my Old Fashion. I do not like small ice cubes in my drinks and this is what my Old Fashion came in. No cherry either,More infoMarcella's - Short NorthPrice: Moderate• Italian• Short North - Arena District•4.8
- OTOpenTable DinerCincinnati / Dayton •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThis 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!!More infoThe Rossi Kitchen & BarPrice: Expensive• American• Short North - Arena District•4.6
