Booked a table for 8. Tony and the service team were excellent as service was well paced; no one waited for meals. Martinis is a must when visiting Columbus.

The food is absolutely phenomenal!! Some of the best I’ve had anywhere in a long time. The atmosphere and service are fantastic too. We had a little accident at the table and the staff was all right there immediately to clean it up. Wish we lived closer because we’d be here all the time!!!

We went for our anniversary dinner. I booked reservations about a month in advance (just because I'm a planner). The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The food was phenomenal. The provided bread and dipping oil was incredibly delicious and I could've gladly eaten multiple baskets. We ordered spaghetti and meatballs and chicken parmigiana. The sauce was hands down the star of both of our dishes. I was pleasantly pleased with the hand breading on my chicken. I notated in my reservation that it was our anniversary and they provided a free dessert wafer with chocolate mousse. The staff were courteous and attentive while still allowing us time to enjoy our meal and conversation without constant interruptions. Taylor was our waiter and he was awesome.

Speck was special. We had a very pleasant experience from beginning to end. Delicious cocktails with amazing Focaccia and Burrata. There are nice wine selections by the glass the were reasonably priced as well as very tasty pasta dishes that were reasonably priced as well. We finished with espresso and cannoli. It is a very nice atmosphere where the kitchen and pasta room are on display. The service was amazing also.

We have always loved this restaurant. With the recent renovation it is even better, more spacious, and cozy at the same time. We had dinner with friends from out of town on a quiet Thursday evening. The food was impeccable, the ambience wonderful, and the service excellent. Our out of town guests said this was the best restaraunt experienc3 they had enjoyed in a long time.

    Welcome was warm and we learned it was the restaurant's 30th anniversary. Special of veal scallopini was very good. Another member of the party enjoyed the clams...small and fresh. The last member had lamb with some very good noodles.
