- CCarynVIPColumbus •13 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoThe service was very good. The food was just OK. I’ve been to this restaurant many times which is why I chose to come back here for my birthday. However, I feel the visit was below average. The flavor and the quality of the food was good just not what I would expect from a restaurant of this. Our server could not have been better. She did a great job! I just don’t think that this will be at the top of our list of restaurants for future visits.More infoMartini Modern ItalianPrice: Expensive• Italian• Short North - Arena District•4.7
- RRyanVIPColumbus •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThis is not the restaurant fault but Cameron Mitchell’s needs to partner with CPD/ City of Columbus to ensure short north is safe. My car was broken into after eating there. More pressure from local restaurants might help increase patrolsMore infoMarcella's - Short NorthPrice: Moderate• Italian• Short North - Arena District•4.8

Always had that beautiful smile on her face and warm welcome that made us all feel we’re home…took her time explaining the menu option to the vegetarian and gluten-free people for drinks and dinner! The food was mouthwatering! I’ll Definitely be back very soon!More infoCento – German VillagePrice: Expensive• Italian• German Village•4.8
- PPhilColumbus •22 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 16, 2024Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.More infoForno Kitchen and BarPrice: Moderate• American• Short North - Arena District•4.7
- MMalloryRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •3 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 9, 2024We went to The Rossi on a Monday for happy hour, so a little slower than peak time. However, the service was quick, atmosphere very cozy, and food was delicious. I was impressed by their happy hour offering and would recommend.More infoThe Rossi Kitchen & BarPrice: Expensive• American• Short North - Arena District•4.7
