Great Italian in Columbus
It's become a tradition for us to go with friends to the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield every year (where the crowds follow Tiger even when he's nowhere to be found on the leaderboard!), then have a great Italian meal at Moretti's before driving home to Cincinnati. Wow. Who knew you could find great Italian in a strip mall on the north side of Columbus? My friends used to live in Columbus and have been eating there for 20+ years. It's all about the homemade pasta (see the menu). Just don't order the penne, which I think is the only pre-made pasta on the menu. (I made that mistake last year and regretted it, when I could have so much better with the homemade stuff!) I tried the special - fresh walleye served over homemade pasta with green beans and lemon butter. I'm a fish skeptic when it comes to restaurant dining, but I took the plunge. Amazing stuff. Happily scarfed the leftovers for dinner last night. The web site doesn't show the wine menu, but I was underwhelmed by a house chianti, but thoroughly enjoyed a glass of Filadonna Pinot Grigio 2005, a great Italian white. My problem now? I can't find a local wine store that carries the stuff! Will keep looking though. It's a nice, light refreshing white for the summer heat. And it paired well w/ the walleye.
