I had an amazing meal at Forno where everything I tried was absolutely delicious. I went with pizza and it did not disappoint. Afterward, we headed downstairs to the speakeasy in the basement and it was such a fun surprise. The specialty drinks were creative, and the space had a cozy Christmas-themed vibe that made it feel extra festive. It is definitely worth visiting if you enjoy good food and a unique, charming atmosphere.

Found this gem and timing was poifect for their happy hour. Recommend… Garlic Shrimp Crispy Rice w/ tuna Scallops - best dish! Mussels - the occasional bit of sand, otherwise delicious Warmed Riccotta - would recommend! We had two rounds of cocktails and made it for around $90. We had the pleasure of having Luke as our server, he’s an absolute prince! Would go jack without hesitation, will have to try the za next time.

Great vibes all around! Every employee I interacted with was amazing — super friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely incredible, and I highly recommend the meatballs! This is definitely a place I’ll remember next time I’m in Columbus. Make sure to visit the bar and ask for Engin — he was very attentive and made the experience even better. Thank you for a great time!
