    Aladdin's - various places, but I've been to the one in Bexley, Lebanese
    Tony's Italian Ristorante - yummy, in German Village, also where our RD will be!

    not sure if they are hidden gems, or if I'm late in finding out about them.

    Lavash in Clintonville. Medditeranean and Greek. Check out their menu, they are delicious! 

    I love Sushi Ting! 

    Brown Bag in German Village- it's a sandwhich place. 

    Katzinger's in German Village. Expensive, but worth it!

    I forgot to mention Katzinger's homemade dill pickles!! They're A-MAZING! And you can take as many as you can eat out of the barrel!! And is it a little on the pricey side, but with good reason ;)

    Well besides the ones listed here, I love Tommy's pizza on Lane/OSU campus. 
    I also love Cafe Apropos in Harrison West/Vict Village but that is for coffee/drinks not really eating out.


    Has anyone tried Betty's Fine Foods/Spirits in Short North?  That's on my list to try but have never actually been...

    I love Mr. Sushi (great prices) for take out, but Asian Gourmet for sit down dinner (great atmosphere and wine list!).

    Vick's Pizza (in reynoldsburg) is to die for

    The Union has the best martini list

    Lola's in Gahanna is some of the best italian food in cbus and family owned

    Gahanna Grill has great burgers and an outdoor patio

    Salvi's on the west side has the best Sunday brunch ever (complete with mimosas!)

    Surly Girl - AMAZING (bar) food and drinks too!  Also, a pretty amazing brunch on the weekends (saturdays and sundays)  try the grapefruit mimosa, yum!

    that's all i can think of - this post has made me quite hungry ;)

    Mykonos in Gahanna (Stoneridge). Family owned amazing Greek food.

    Adriatico's on campus (probably not too hidden!) is the best pizza I've ever had.

    94th Aero Squadron has a fantastic Sunday brunch buffet and has the best beer cheese soup ever at dinner.
