Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

This is genuinely one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to — and that’s including well-known, high-end Italian spots in Columbus. I’ve been to the Cameron Mitchell Italian restaurants, and honestly, this place is better — and also cheaper. The Scarpinocc de Manzo was absolutely incredible and easily the highlight of the meal. The braised beef and ricotta–filled pasta with bone marrow jus was rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. It’s one of those dishes you keep thinking about after the meal, and I would come back just for that alone. The tiramisu is outstanding. I loved that it has chocolate chips mixed in — it adds a really nice texture and made it one of the best tiramisus I’ve had. The rosemary & parmesan focaccia was also amazing. We ordered the full size for the table (pictured), and it was more than enough for four people, making it perfect for sharing. We also tried the burrata. While it wasn’t my personal favorite, that’s more of a preference thing — I tend to like a more traditional burrata. That said, it was still well executed and thoughtfully composed. One thing to note: reservations are highly recommended. This isn’t really a walk-in spot, but it’s absolutely worth planning ahead. Overall, the quality, flavor, and value here are exceptional. Easily one of my favorite Italian restaurants, and I’ll definitely be back.

This place is a must try if you want fresh authentic Italian food. We wanted something different gor lunch and decided to give this place a try. We went outside the box and ordered the Tortelli Di Zucca which was amazing, Pappardelle Alla Agnello Brasato and the lamb was so tender and flavorful it was the best lamb I have ever tasted and lastly the spinach and chicory salad. All dishes were so good we will definitely be back.

We had the Tiramisu with a 4.8 we were going!! We got it as a take out for my son's birthday. Tiramisu is his favorite. We get home and notice a lot of liquid (I dont cook at all but my son does) he said its fine. OK so we taste it... absolutely no taste and it was like eating soaked bread. We also got something else with the foam on top and my son said it was great ( pic of it bellow) The food on the menu was very expensive and I couldn't smell any food smells when I walked in. The place is clean and beautiful!!! The service from the young man was top notch!! The wine at $18 + a glass was a no for me but the place was packed with women who apparently could afford it and thought the food was amazing. This is just my opinion, but walmart has a better tasting Tiramisu.
