Linden Alley - Granville

My boyfriend and I went here for a romantic dinner, we didn't feel like driving all the way to columbus and we wanted more than the usual pub fare that Granville offers. We were wowed by the creative menu and delicious food. The menu changes regularly which is awesome for foodies like us, I also really like that it changes to include different flavor profiles for every season. We ordered the crostini (which changes each week according to the chef's choice), it was a great choice! Topped with a blend of prosciutto, arugula and ricotta it was a lovely way to start the meal. We both ordered pasta dishes for our meals, I loved my spinach and ricotta ravioli and my boyfriend's clam linguine was wonderful as well; the pasta was fantastic (homemade, I think) and the portions were generous but not overzealous. We also ordered a wonderfully rich parmesan risotto as a side. As stuffed as we were, we both cleared our plates and ordered dessert, which was a panna cotta soaked pound cake with berries. All in all, the food was rich, but not too heavy, the ingredients were fresh, the portions were perfect, and we were thrilled to find such a great restaurant so close to school. The prices were also very fair as well, much better than similar quality restaurants in columbus (we are students and we found it affordable for a time we wanted to treat ourselves). I'm not a drinker, but the cocktail menu was interesting and the wine list was extensive. We will definitely be back!

Food was very good. Atmosphere was charming, comfortable and clean. Can't wait to return.

Linden Alley is a perfect spot for date night! Lovely service, yummy pasta, loved the charcuterie plate, delicious wines.

Great food, atmosphere and service. Nice upscale Italian restaurant with nice selection of dishes and well thought wine list. We had the chefs 5 course menu with wine pairing. Really outstanding menu, presentation and, we think, value. Very friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended. If we ever find ourselves in Granville again, we will definitely return.

First visit. Very impressed. Chickpea salad out of this world. Chicken just a tad dry, but presentation and atmosphere rate an A+. Service was outstanding. Eager to go back and explore more of the interesting menu.
