Krishna’s Lamb Curry with Raita I’ve always been a sucker for Indian food and I’ve always loved little hole in the wall places. Krishna fits the bill on both counts. Krishna is a tiny Indian restaurant with perhaps seating for 16. As you walk in, there are seats on the right and the counter and [...]

In search of more food in the University of Cincinnati campus area, I stumbled upon Myra’s Dionysus (not as hard as it looks to say). Okay, I had to look and figure out who exactly Dionysus was. According to Wikipedia, Dionysus is the greek god of wine, representing the intoxicating power of wine but also [...]

FineRepast.com took a recent weekend trip to the University of Cincinnati and began their dining tour at Pomodori’s Pizzeria. Pomodori’s is an institution on UC’s campus. Located right off of West McMillan Street, it’s right in the heart of the action. Pomodori’s probably does most of its business making pizza pies. When I walked in, [...]

Summer dining has me seeking fine restaurant patios. So I asked my partner in crime, “Where is a good patio to visit for dinner?” She immediately stated, “Barcelona has the best patio in town.” So off we went to 263 E. Whittier St in German Village. Our first trip to Barcelona was on a Wednesday [...]

In search of more fine summer patio dining, we headed to La Tavola at 6125 Riverside Drive. Upon arrival, it was a fight to find an open parking spot. We could have used the complimentary valet parking, but I despise valet parking. You may want to consider it though if you find yourself there on [...]

I saw Ratatouille with my daughter last week. Magnific! A must see for foodies and francophiles.

And, as is part of every central Ohio Mexican establishment, we begin our meal with the obligatory chips and salsa. The Hacienda’s special twist on the chips and salsa routine is to add a [...]

I am curious to see what you avid coffee drinkers out there think of the local coffee shops in Columbus. I personally have very specific coffee tastes, but after giving it some thought, I would have to vote Stauf’s of Grandview into first place for the most consistent brew. Plus, I like their atmosphere, and [...]

Bravo! Cucina Italiana is a family favorite.  At least in my family (and judging by the amount of business it does, by many families).  Why do we go there repeatedly?  Because the food satisfies two of the pickiest eaters I know.  My wife.  And my daughter. First, my wife is a vegetarian.  But she does [...]
