    This is now our favorite Italian restaurant in Columbus. Atmosphere, service and food are impeccable. Our waitress Maria was amazing. Cocktails were spot on. Caesar salad is classic, simple but tasty. The homemade pastas and chicken parm were outstanding!

    Every time we go to Columbus, we almost always eat here. It has an amazing happy hour and the bartenders are so professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We’ve always had outstanding food.  I usually get the avocado and my wife usually gets the chicken Parmesan.
