Trevioli Italian Kitchen brings fine Italian eats to Blackmon Road

Posted on November 9, 2017June 29, 2019 by Tom Ingram

There are a few Columbus restaurants that you can mention in any social situation and someone will inevitably nod and intone, sagely, “Oh, yes, I go there all the time.” Remarkably, after first opening in a storage unit on Tower Road, in Oct. 2013, Trevioli quickly rose to that level of recognition. Begun, also remarkably, as a take-out Italian shop featuring homemade pasta, it was loyal regulars who imposed dine-in service by bringing their own…

Posted on November 2, 2017 by Tom Ingram

Voices of the Valley Children’s Chorus is fundraising for their July trip to England. Help these kids do great things abroad, especially because they do so many great things locally. On a recent evening, I visited Chipotle on Macon Road. The food is fine, but it’s certainly not one of my usual stops.

Posted on October 25, 2017 by Tom Ingram

The Rail, a soul-funk quintet from Columbus and Birmingham, buried themselves in Spinnaker Studios all summer, working on their first album, “Quick, The Lights!” and we who keep up with the music scene have missed them.
