A view from Giuseppe’s Italian Ritrovo in Bexley, Ohio I visited Giuseppe’s Ritrovo off of Main Street in Bexley for the second time last night. I was pumped to go back to Giuseppe’s because my first visit there resulted in a very reasonably priced experience. Of course, they comped us the wine that time since [...]

Giada’s Everday Italian I recently revisited La Tavola. I hadn’t been back there since last summer. And I really hadn’t planned on being back there again but a friend wanted to meet there and life is about second chances, right?

First, my wife is a vegetarian.  But she does [...]

If you ask the waiter what are his favorites then don’t go against what he tells you. For starters, our server recommended the baby green salad with red onions, gorgonzola, raisins, & berries with balsamic vinaigrette. I couldn’t quit eating it. What a wonderful combination as all the ingredients went together perfectly for a melt [...]
