I had the sausage bolognas and it was fantastic. Ordered a side of focaccia bread too. Sat at the bar and got fast and friendly service. It had a bright and friendly atmosphere.

If you want to go to a restaurant that makes you feel better about your life choices, go here. Sit at the chefs table. See what is making you salivate more. Order accordingly. Better yet, get Sydney to help you order, because her service was absolutely amazing. Actually, let's take a moment to talk about her. Nothing makes me more nervous than a later who is unenthusiastic about the menu. Sydney is the opposite. She articulates every item on the menu so well that you know if you made a bad decision that is not on her. She was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. Sydney rocks. Let's talk about the drinks. Do you like Negroni's? Yes? Excellent because they have 10 different kinds. Do you not like Negroni's? Same. But it's OK because they have plenty of other unique cocktails on the menu. Let's talk about the food. Actually no there's nothing to talk about. It's divine and you need to just go and order it. Don't sleep on the broccolini and eat your veggies. Go in time for their happy hour where there are amazing appetizers for only five bucks each. Ignore any haters in the ratings. This place was a 10 out of 10.

The food here was very good! I am gluten free and vegetarian, their options for me were sparse but the server did help me figure out what I can have. My friends both enjoyed their entrees. However the kitchen is not open to swapping or skipping ingredients, or even putting a dressing on the side due to an allergy, so that was a little odd.

Speck was worth the hype! The pasta was awesome. I got the sausage ragu and was slightly nervous cause our waitress said it was a 5/10 on the spice scale, but I'm glad I got it. It wasn't spicy like red pepper flakes, it was just spicy from the sausage. It was a great dish. I'd totally come back and try more off the menu. Not to mention the focaccia was SO good. The oil that it came with went perfectly with it. I didn't catch our waitresses name but she was awesome and took care of our party of 7 very well. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Lastly, the birthday cake ice cream was spectacular. We all tried a taste of it and it was top notch.

My favorite restaurant in the city. My goodness. They change menus seasonally and everything is so so so good. My favorite has been the crab pasta (in the summer) and the corn tortellini (early fall). Ragu never fails, but the crab pasta reigns supreme, even with the market price tag. Celebrated my birthday here and they made it so special. The staff is always good. The music is amazing here. It's always such a vibe. I have zero complaints. Their mussels are FIRE! When something semi special is going on, like a friend visiting, I try to squeeze in a Rez here. It is so good! You cannot go wrong.

Lets start out I went to this restaurant when they were in Delaware Ohio, and it was great there so I was excited to try again in downtown Columbus. We started out with the Focaccia bread which was just as I remembered. The wedge salad was great and covered parmesan cheese and the delicious Anchovy crisp. The Risotto and Scallops were incredible and perfectly cooked. The star on the meal was the Chianti braised short rib, oh my and the picture doesn't really do justice for how big it really is. The service is perfect, they don't rush you letting you enjoy each bite. If your looking for something upscale this place does impress. Make sure you make a reservation, thou it's always busy.

A few of us tried walking in on a Friday evening and were able to get seated within the hour, with bar space available before that. It was well worth the wait - this was some of the best pasta I've had! My husband and I split the crab pasta and short rib, the short rib was incredibly tender and the crab pasta was packed with flavor and super unique. There were several items on the menu I'm interested to try next time!

Speck is a cute Italian restaurant- where both the wait staff and the kitchen staff care about your experience. I stumbled into this restaurant craving an espresso martini. Not only do they offer espresso martinis, but they're on draft. The martini was creamy and had espresso sprinkles on top. I was also craving something sweet, so I grabbed their tiramisu. The chef brought out my dessert and explained that I should dig all the way to the bottom to get all of layers. This place takes pride in their customer service and also their dishes, it is a must try!!
