    We went to Losanti for our 28th Anniversary and it was amazing. The food was fresh right down to that pasta. We had a sampling of the full menu: Appetizers, Salad, Pasta, steaks, sides and desert. We were stuffed at the end. Highly recommend the mussles and the foccia appetizers. You can dip your bread in the amazing sauce the mussles come in. Literally everything we ate was amazing and the service was top notch. Our waiter, Maxwell, was exceedingly attentive and knowledgable.

    Beautiful aesthetics in the dining room and outdoor area makes this one of the premier restaurants in the downtown Columbus area. The bar has a creative and unique wine & cocktail menu that provides options for all preferences. The true star of the show is the food. Leaning heavily into Spain, North Africa, and Eastern Mediterranean culinary influences, the dinner menu provides a wide variety of spices and proteins. Everything we ordered was imaginative and perfectly crafted. Some highlights were the Wagyu skewer, Grilled Dorade, Tuna, Muhammara and Hummus… the warm pita that comes with the spreads is Michelin-level good. A true accomplishment by the entire Amara team, they have really created something special.
