   The food was good for the most part. The service was very slow throughout the meal. This would normally have been ok, but there was an issue with the food. Due to the slow service, the food issue wasn't dealt with until 15+ minutes later, long after the rest of the party members had finished that course. I ordered the panna cotta for dessert and it was still mostly frozen when it came out. Even when the waiter finally came back to check on our table, the panna cotta took some effort to cut into with a spoon. Since this was at the end of the meal, and the rest of the table had been finished for some time already, I was not interested in a replacement dessert, I just wanted to leave. Unfortunately, a replacement dessert was all the restaurant staff was willing to offer. They were unwilling to offer any other form of compensation.

   The pasta was extremely salty. Terrible. They re-made ours twice -and still soooo salty. It was insane. The manager agreed with us- she made her own plate and agreed 100%….yet they took $14 off our $130 bill after we didn’t eat any of it. We’ve been 5 times before- never like this. Don’t know if we’ll ever return for a $300 bill of which we didn’t even eat our entrée…

   Food was OK but the portions are comically small. Essentially paying $16 for an amuse bouche size plate. Seriously, I understand small portions but 2 tortellini is not really a course

   Thoughtful menu, excellent ingredients, and beautiful plated. After Leah explained the dishes we couldn’t help but order the chefs tasting menu and every dish was perfection. Great wine selection too and our waitress Leah even knew fun details of the winery and winemaker. The passion for food and craft is evident in every detail. Will be bragging about this meal and returning soon! One of the best picks in Columbus and a must if you appreciate Italian cuisine.

   November menu is fantastic--the agnolotti with the pecorino crema and the pasta favorita are excellent. Service is always top-notch.

   Our party of 6 waited over 40 minutes for our table. The food was amazing however, it took over three hours for our food and dessert to come. Experience was cool with the cheese wheel but a little over priced.

   Such a wonderful dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious and we very much enjoyed the wine pairings with the chefs tasting menu. Our server was lovely and able to answer all of our questions. We had a wonderful evening.

   The service here was outstanding! Our server took time to explain the menu, and when they brought out the wine for each course (we did the wing pairings which I highly recommend) they explained how the wine went with the food. The food was amazing as well!

    As always it was a fantastic food journey. Vinny keeps coming up with such fantastic flavor combinations and Christina keeps finding new ways to end the meal on a high note. Our service was fantastic as well. Such knowledgable servers who are there to expand the experience and are so helpful...even with pastas hiding in a blanket! Great stuff! Can't wait for next month!
