This gives restaurants the opportunity to participate in what has continued to be one of the busiest weeks for restaurants all year.”
Restaurants like Caffee Amici have been participating in Columbus Restaurant Week from the very beginning.
"Just the opportunity to see new people coming in to try our food They can experience what we have to offer, especially people who have never been here before, it's a great opportunity for them to check us out and see what we're all about," said the team at Caffee Amici.
