 There’s always that ethereal moment in a restaurant, where the gourmet entrée just melts in your mouth and you taste culinary fireworks.

Food-comma is the name for that unearthly moment of complete satisfaction and gastronomic deliciousness.  It is that rare, cosmic event that awakens our desire to go back for more. 

Dimly lit, roomy, and echoed by the clinking of wine glasses and animated chatter, Vino Vino is a food-comma inducing neighborhood bistro that prides itself on quality.

“Our business is all about details. Good products bring in good people,” explains proprietor Jeff Courington.

Hailed as one of the “Best New Restaurants” in 2006 by Columbus Monthly magazine, the Vino Vino experience is carefully crafted.

           The eatery tries to create a “perfect symbiosis between the kitchen and wine,” explains Esteban Sullivan, a waitress at Vino Vino for two and a half years.

And as the name suggests, it is all about the wine. 

 

           The bistro offers a lovingly selected assortment of wines. Oenophiles and wine novices alike can appreciate the menu’s vivid descriptions of the old world wines.

If you want a splurge, order a glass of the 2008 Marchesi Frescobaldi that is “infused with notes of ripe cherry, chocolate tones, strawberry and a spicy finish," according to the menu.

Although the menu and plates are modest in size, Vino Vino offers an affordable mix of hand crafted seasonal dishes.

The delicately baked goat cheese appetizer covered in marinara sauce exemplifies Chef Esteban Escobar’s genuine knack for care in his food. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try some of the more exotic items like the hand-made pâté and sausages.

             Vino Vino is a cozy restaurant that personifies the care and attention to details of the wine it carries. Grab a glass after work, or head on over with your girlfriends for a casual but flavorful dining experience.
