Breakfast Burrito at Northstar Cafe
Columbus does not have enough good breakfast eateries. If you want proof of that go out and try to find them. Nick has only been able to locate a few and has resorted to reviewing out of town establishments as well. Grand Rapids is a long way to [...]

Giuseppe’s Cipolle Pizza
Giuseppe’s is becoming a real hit with me. I admit that I may have been a little harsh on the first go round but sometimes life, and finerepast.com, offer us second chances. After having visited Giuseppe’s several times, it wasn’t til this last visit that the authentic Italian flavors really hit [...]

I wrote about Pita Hut-n-Grille a while back. I need to add one thing to that review. Pita Hut-n-Grille has the finest hummus in Colummus! My cell phone picture don’t do it justice but this is damn good stuff. My wife says they should make a coffee of the same flavor. [...]

I had the pleasure of dining at Cameron Mitchell’s Steakhouse in Columbus, Ohio recently. I always enjoy a fine steak. My companion and I started off the meal with the escargot appetizer selection.

I should have known what I was in for after I had the fried calamari. It was going to be a long night at Buca di Beppo in Worthington, Ohio. In short, way too much salt and way too much garlic and a bit overcooked. Don’t get me wrong, I like a [...]

I recently visited Basi Italia at 811 Highland Avenue just off Buttles Avenue. Basi is a small Italian restaurant that is almost hidden in Victorian Village. The owners seem to have been going for a neighborhood eatery in choosing the location and in keeping the restaurant small and cozy. And I really [...]

Always on the search for lunch spots, a friend and I ended up at the old reliable in Grandview, Aladdin’s Eatery. On a cold, rainy, late October day, Aladdin’s hit the spot with their fresh, strong, hot coffee, lentil soup and their Shawarma rolled pita. I’ve always felt that their pita sandwiches could [...]

I often enjoy eating at the Taj Palace in Hilliard, Ohio for their fine lunch buffet. Nothing like Indian buffet and a hot cup of chai on a cold wintry day. Mind you, the lunch fare’s spiciness has been toned down to attract the large, American crowds but the chai runs freely. [...]
