Stopped by to visit Rosa, the owner at A Twist On Olives in Uptown Westerville today, and also…read morepicked up a bottle of Tuscan Herb Olive Oil. I love this place! What makes this shop especially unique is that it is family owned and inspired by real Italian roots and traditions, including connections to a family olive grove in Italy. You can feel that influence the moment you walk in. It does not feel like a generic retail shop. It feels personal, warm, welcoming, and centered around the love of good food and shared meals. If you enjoy cooking, dipping bread, experimenting with flavors, or just discovering something different, this place is such a fun stop. The variety of olive oils and balsamic vinegars is outstanding, and being able to sample before buying makes the experience even better. There is a reason this place maintains such a strong 4.9-star reputation. Rosa is always welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about what she does, and that personal touch is a big reason why places like this make Uptown Westerville special. A Twist On Olives 44 N. State Street Westerville, OH 43081

It's great how you can sample each flavor so you know exactly how they taste. I really liked the fig balsamic vinegar! You can choose from four different sizes of bottles. Prices are higher since they are premium quality imported from Italy, so it would be good for gifts! Parking is street parking which you can find along the streets.

So we were here for a yelp event at Winston's and get there early and decided to walk around and…read moreI'm so glad we did! Now as this was our first time here and we was so taken back by the throw back feel of the place! It gave me small town vibes! I instantly missed home walking into this grocery store! EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN AND NEAT! nothing was picked over and smelled so fresh! Until u got to the meat section then the seafood section was over whelming! But there is a spirits section and a local pop section and then local bakery! We seen the deli section and tried EVERYTHING! we took home so potato salad and the broccoli salad stuff can't remember what it was but it's good! lol They had a lot of prepared foods to but a bit over priced but available! Cute store! Only 5 lanes and 2 lanes open! They did take apple and Samsung pay! The cashiers don't really talk and the workers in the back were really nice and answered all of outlet questions! And loved their wine section! Also u can get balsamic vinegar fresh! Love that!

Updated review - again no Tuna - per a worker - they ONLY get TUNA on Thursday's and don't even…read morethink about stocking it except for Thursday because otherwise it rots,,,? But - It's Tuesday so... Maybe lower your super-high prices (Like $35+ per pound) for Tuna. Maybe you will sell more and actually have some in-stock in case one of your customers want some. I think a "Gourmet Super Market" should stock some gourmet fish - Like TUNA :-) I can buy Salmon anywhere less expensively. I don't know why I keep going back - I guess it's the thrill of the chase now. Edit: I just saw Dan's response. Oh well Dan - losing stock is a cost of doing business and you can write it off - Meanwhile - I'll find somewhere else to shop. I never had this problem - EVER - before you remodeled the store and moved the fish counter to the back near the meat. YUCK

I was browsing my way through the Grandview Center and came upon this cute little oil shop. The…read morestaff person was friendly and helpful, greeting me as I came in and chatted with me about options and flavors. They have nice choices for variety packs of mini bottles in bags or wooden boxes, in addition to standard bottles. They also offer locally made seasoning blends, which was great and very inspiring, as I immediately began thinking about potential combos with different oil flavors. Parking is available in the small shopping center lot, with a 1 hour limit before 9 pm.

I got to meet one of the co-founders and she was so sweet! She puts care into making vegan, gluten free, and dairy free options as well so everyone can enjoy something sweet. They also make sure to ethically source their ingredients. They do individual orders or large corporate orders as well, and you can even get gift cards to give to someone special! The black currant bar was creamy and so good, with dried strawberries and edible flowers which gave it a bit of crunch and looked so decadent. It's located at Easton Mall so you can stop by while shopping around!

I was totally in love with this space and the food served inside. We ate around 6 PM and it was…read moregolden hour so the lighting was gorgeous. The space is very bright and airy: loved the floral and plant vibes. Our server was kind but maybe a bit apprehensive because we brought our two daughters. Sometimes I feel bad bringing kids but honestly we deserve to have good food even if there are little mouths involved. We had the focaccia starter and it was as pillowy and sumptuous as it looked. Next was broccolini which our 8 month old devoured. I tried the funghi pasta and my husband had the sausage ragu. Both had generous portions. The kitchen made butter noodles for our daughter and she LOVED them. I was pleased they didn't try to doll them up because she really did just want noodles and butter. Finally, the octopus was sooo tasty. The sauce was super flavorful and I love a good bean addition. Delicious meal all around.

I was exploring the downtown area around 7 PM looking for a place to have dinner. This restaurant…read morecaught my attention because of its aesthetics, so I decided to give it a try. The ambiance was enjoyable, and our waitress provided decent service. For starters, I really enjoyed the gem salad -- it was refreshing -- and I also ordered a couple of glasses of Poggio Costa Prosecco to go with my Funghi pasta. Both were very good. However, we also ordered the lobster spaghetti and were not impressed. It was very bland, and the few pieces of lobster tasted slightly gamey. I would not recommend the lobster pasta, especially considering the price, as it appeared to be the most expensive pasta on the menu. The bill also included a fee labeled as "healthcare," which was not mentioned by our waitress. I had to look it up afterward since it was the first time I had seen a charge like that on a restaurant bill. I wanted to share this so others are aware of what to expect.

One single set of shelving down the middle of the store with foods on one side and wine on the other. The perimeter is a deli type counter on one side with the food counter and checkout area in the back. Please believe me when I say be prepared to just look past all that chaos to see the beauty in it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Yes they do offer suggestions, answer your questions and carry your purchases to your car for you. Who does that nowadays?!? I read a review saying not to skip out on the rosemary sea salt bread so I didn't. I mean the smells and it looked like perfection on the tray so how could I resist!? So glad I didn't. It was warm, soft, flavorful and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! I would return for the fresh baked bread alone. We were given samples and we made our selections, paid and had our goodies carried out to the car for us. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. We ended up with a couple varieties of olives, a couple of meatballs and the bread. All fabulous. If you're anywhere near this area and you need some mouthwateringly good food do stop in.

This time I chose chicken tenders and mashed potatoes since I see people get them often. The tender was kinda hard, as if it'd been out for a while.

I was not familiar with Bexley Natural Market but saw from the Too Good Eats website that the market carried them so off I went exploring. Parkign lot is limited and that area of Cassady Avenue was a little busy but I was able to get in and out ok and find a spot to park. The staff interaction was ok but REALLY missed an opportunity to sell the market and what they are about. I had asked about the membership and the bland explanations really didn't say much at all and the interaction was not very inviting and kind of dismissive. I would have been happy that some new traffic came in and showed an interest. Anyway, the market offers all kinds of items from produce, vegan options, natural drinks, and grocery items. It appears the main focus is supporting local farmers and vendors in the area. I will come back and take another look around but was super happy they had the drinks I liked. If interested- I found online that the membersip is $30 one-time payment and annual dues of $45 that provides 5% to 8% off and monthly coupons & promotions valued at $100 a year in savings. They also offer member-only events and activities. I found out more about the store from their website, if interested, you can check them out at www.bexleynatrualmarket.org.
