I love an extra long weekend and ours started early. We left on Thursday for a quick overnight trip to Columbus to attend the Ohio State Buckeyes opening football game. Included on the agenda was a trip to Piada, a new Columbus restaurant that my sister, Morgan, has been raving about.
Saturday we visited Piada for lunch. It is an Italian Street Food restaurant that can be compared to Chipotle in regards to ordering procedure and complete freshness of ingredients, but it definitely has its own original and authentic Italian twist. The menu is quite self explanatory and takes you through the 5 step ordering process.
A piada, also called a piadina, is a wrap-like sandwich built on thin-crust, stone-cooked dough that is stuffed with pastas, meats, cheeses, sauce and vegetables. The chef created my Piada to my own liking with angel hair, chicken, pesto, lettuce and tomatoes. My piada was generously stuffed with the perfect blend of my favorite ingredients. I also had a cheese Piada stick with a parmesan dipping sauce. It was light and crisp and my only regret was that I didn’t bring some home. Piada’s food quality did not disappoint; tasting equally as healthy and fresh as it looked.
The interior was modern yet comfortable with a mixture of brick, wood, stainless steel and classic signage that pulled it all together. 
Fresh, fast, affordable and unlike any of our other routine Columbus stops, I highly recommend you give it a try.

I absolutely love this place. Lets just say, it's an Italian Chipotle. You should also try the Greek Corner that is right across the street. Great Greek food. Ask my sister :)
