    Food and service was great. I wish the cacio e pepe size was bigger but taste was awesome. We also had the meatballs and they were great!

    Our server, Yana, was outstanding! She was so kind and informative. Yana really made the experience even better. The food was delicious. We would go back and eat the ravioli every day. Such a great value and perfect ambience. We’ll definitely be back.

    I had an exceptional dining experience! The food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch. I went with my son's girlfriend, who has celiac disease and follows a strict gluten-free diet. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the menu options thoroughly, ensuring a safe and enjoyable meal. This restaurant is great for people who follow a gluten-free diet, as they are attentive and accommodating. We truly appreciated the care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

    Absolutely the best service. I come to Columbus for volleyball tournaments and I have to stop here anytime I’m in town. Love the food and drinks along with the people who work there.
