The Columbia restaurant is always a winner! We had a fabulous meal and Jack was an exceptional waiter. We love the food, the atmosphere and the value. My husband always starts with the exceptional black bean soup, I had the empanadas yum! We both had Grouper. Rounded out our meal with key lime pie ( a generous slice) and the tres amigos churros, delicious 😋 we highly recommend and we will be back!

3rd time at this great Italian spot. Its worth the drive from Lakewood Ranch about 40 minutes away. Just think how many restaurants we passed. Its one of my favorite. The homemade gnocchi is the real deal. It was made tonight with a little bit of spicy red sauce sausage and red peppers. Just amazing. Cesar salad was very good. My veal Parmigiana on the bone was fantastic. We also had fried calamari to start and finished the meal with tartufo. Service was pleasant, attentive, and spaced our 5 course meal perfectly. Until the next time we yearn for more…..
