This place is located on Columbus road in a little shopping center. After visiting LabCorp we were starving and decided to try this place right next to LabCorp. it looked very tiny but when we went inside it was much larger than it appeared to be. They had a large choice of foods on their menu which was primarily Italian. Since I am from Florida at first I thought it was a little pricey. But how wrong I was. My mother order the chicken parmesan and I ordered a shrimp special on angel hair pasta. Along with the meal we were served bread and I chose the salad with the house dressing and my mother chose the chicken soup. The bowl of soup was huge and so was the salad. The portions were enough for at least three meals and were extremely tasty. Sam was our waiter and was extremely accommodating. I took home half the salad and three quarters of my shrimp meal. My mother was able to eat the entire bowl of soup but only a couple bites of the parmesan. Sam split the parmesan for my 87 year-old mother into two containers to take home. I also took home the majority of my salad and my shrimp dish. We both had water due to dietary restrictions. As you can see in the pictures they brought a dessert tray over from which we both picked one each to take home. I chose a chocolate on chocolate on chocolate which I just ate and it was out of this world. I placed my mother's cake in the fridge for her to eat later. The total meal was $49 without the tip. It was most definitely one of the best Italian meals I have ever eaten and will not hesitate to stop there on my trip back again...
Read moreI have walked past the new location many times, but have never tried the new dining area until last night.
I have to say it is like a welcome oasis where you least expect it. This will definitely be added on to my list of regular stops.
We were greeted by Erin, a pleasant wonderful front of house manager who takes the time to speak with customers and helps them feel comfortable in a new dining experience.
Amanda was our waitress, another pleasant person, but lacked a bit of knowledge about a few menu items. In her defense she was willing to ask and get the answers to our questions. For a new waitress she was very good, but she did lack some attentiveness skills, such as; refilling water, and soft drinks. Nothing that would prevent us from returning.
Now the food: We started with Bruschetta and Stuffed Mushrooms for appetizers. Plenty of clean, fresh tasting bruschetta with a perfect balance served with crisp, yet soft toasty planks of bread. The stuffed mushrooms were also a pleasant surprise stuffed with sausage, onions, peppers, and lightly drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
Our main courses were Shrimp Scampi and Veal Parmesan. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the balance of lemon and garlic was nearly perfect. The veal parmesan was a thick tender piece of veal, not the thin cutlet as most places serve, once again cooked...
Read moreTonight (7/9) was the second time we came here while in the area and sat outside. The first experience was not great, the service was (extremely) lacking and unfortunately tonight was more of the same. No one came over to our table until about 20 minutes after sitting and we didn’t get our drinks until 15 minutes after that. Mind you it’s not even like the restaurant was super busy, we were one of 2 tables outside and she was bussing tables next to us before even coming over to bring our drinks. I ordered my children milk that they didn’t have but she never took it off the bill. She never came over to ask how we were doing and when my husband asked whether there was supposed to be balsamic vinegar on his caprese pizza, she responded “I don’t know, however he makes it”. What kind of a response is that? Whoever the waitress is with short blond hair needs to work on her customer service and prioritizing her work load. She shouldn’t be bussing tables before we’ve gotten our drinks after waiting 15 minutes. I would avoid this place, there’s a ton of other great pizza close by, namely, in the Columbus flea market that’s only a couple...
