This was our second time having the Tuesday tasting menu. This time it was Thanksgiving Italian style. As before the pastas were delish. Some of the familiar Thanksgiving flavors, but with pasta! Amazing. We did the wine pairing, too. They were also delicious and well suited to each course. Both the meal and wine pairing were reasonably priced. As always, service was thoughtful and happily provided.

Food was just adequate and we were expecting more. The restaurant is also very noisy making it almost impossible to hear you and your guests conversations. It was my first and now my last time at this restaurant. There are many better Italian restaurants in central Ohio.

Best Italian food in the Columbus area. From appetizers to salads, to entrees, you will enjoy each delicious dish. We had the meatballs, mushroom toast, beets and burrata salad, and novella insalata, short rib ragu rigatoni, fettuccini verde and pork shank. We all raved and enjoyed our evening. We will be back soon.
