We hosted our Rehearsal Dinner at Due Amici (Privato room) and had a fantastic evening! Lexie was super helpful in helping us plan the event and was very responsive to emails. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. My only complaints were that the seating assignments weren't accurately set (my mother-in-law and maid-of-honor had to scramble to fix things as guests were arriving) and we had difficulty setting up the projector for our slideshow (it took us a few minutes to track someone down to help). Once these two things were sorted out, everything else went smoothly!
We worked with Lexie at Due Amici to plan our rehearsal dinner. We were so impressed with her level of service from the very first email communication to the evening of the event. She made sure every detail was covered. The venue itself was perfect. We had 40 people in the second floor Attico event space. The white brick walls and view of Columbus made for the perfect setting. There was plenty of space for a bar, cocktail tables, a gift table, and seating for all of our guests. We had two staff members who took great care of our guests all night. Can't say enough good things. If you're getting married in Columbus, this is definitely the most perfect venue for your rehearsal dinner!
My mom hosted my bridal shower at Attico at Due Amici and it was a wonderful experience! Attico is the perfect blank space - a bright white room with a lot of natural light. It gives you the opportunity to decorate the room to your personal style and is great for pictures. We had 30 people at the event and there was plenty of room to move around but the room did not feel too big.
Lexie was fantastic to work with. She answered all emails thoroughly and quickly. All the PDF's with the menu, COVID protocol, and vendor expectations laid everything out really well. I live out of state and we set up a 1 hour call about 2-3 weeks before the event to go over timeline, menu, room set up, expectations, etc. Everything turned out perfectly and the event ran so smoothly. The staff members were great! Everyone always had a drink in their hand, the food was delicious, and the meal was perfectly timed. I highly recommend hosting your event here!
My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here the night before our wedding in March of 2020 and LOVED it. The staff were beyond amazing, the space was terrific (we had the private room on the side), the food was delicious, and planning was easy and simple. Our rehearsal dinner was 40 people and everyone fit perfectly.
Special shout out to Lexie and MaryCatherine for their help!
Our wedding and hotel block was at the Ohio Statehouse and Sheraton Capital Square in downtown Columbus so we wanted something in walking distance to both locations and could not have been happier with our choice to go with Due Amici. We worked with Lexie, the event coordinator, and she was excellent. She was extremely responsive to emails, worked with us on menu selections, met with us several times and made our rehearsal dinner perfect. When my family and I came in to meet her and see the room she even had a selection of complimentary desserts sent to our table for our tasting which was so sweet and unexpected. When we arrived at Due Amici for the dinner I was amazed how they had transformed the room. It was beautifully lit with candles everywhere, and the table settings and bar set up was beautiful. They printed personalized menus for us as well as a special touch and even have AV equipment to play a slideshow or any other media you would like during your dinner. The food and service were both excellent and I would recommend them to anyone getting married in the area.
We had our rehearsal dinner at Due Amici and we could not have picked a better spot. Due Amici created an intimate dinner party for our guests. The food and wine were outstanding and everyone left wanting more. Service was great and everyone was professional. Perfect place for a rehearsal dinner!
Due Amici has a wonderful event space that we used for our rehearsal dinner. Lexie helped us plan the event and fulfill all of our requests for the evening. The food and wine were fantastic. We had a welcome reception after dinner and also used this space to host that event. It was a great place to kick off our wedding weekend and decorated beautifully for the holiday season.
We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner experience at Due Amici. Lexie was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She is detailed and organized. Being able to make a seating chart and have Due Amici make the name plates and menu cards was a nice special touch. The food was excellent and so was the service. We were also able to use the A/V capabilities to show a slideshow, which was nice to enjoy during the rehearsal dinner, given the wedding day flies by. Highly recommended!
We had our wedding here on 4/28/18 and I can't say enough good things about this location, the staff, the food, and Lexie! Everything was absolutely perfect. Lexie was so awesome throughout the entire process of planning. We were in contact for about a year and she was always so prompt in responding to me, and never got annoyed with my endless questions. The day of the wedding everything went so smoothly I can't think of anything that went wrong. The staff working the event were SO wonderful. They were attentive and friendly to all of the guests. This venue was ideal for a small intimate wedding and I cannot recommend it enough.
We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner at Due Amici. Even though the private room was already booked, they were able to block off half of the front dining room for us and it felt very private and nice. The food was delicious and Lexie, the coordinator, was helpful throughout the process. Plus, it was super close to our hotel and ceremony venue. Perfect location!
Due Amici was the perfect location for our rehearsal dinner! We really enjoyed the private room and the food was delicious. Lexie was also very easy to work with and easy to communicate with!
My husband and I booked Due Amici for our rehearsal dinner, and we could not have been happier! Lexie, the event coordinator, was very easy to work with, and you are given several options to choose from for the meal. The private dining room is very sleek and elegant looking. The staff was professional and attentive (without being in the way). And the food was phenomenal! Everyone raved about the dinner afterward, and it made for an excellent opening to the wedding day festivities!
The evening went off perfectly because of Lexie and Due Amici.
The room for the dinner was
done so nice and the staff
was wonderful.
We live in Cleveland area
and to have it go off so well
was a great relief to us.
Everyone stills talks about
the food and evening.
Thanks again
Very pleased with the staff and service. I dropped off the decorations and told Lexie what I would like done with them and she made sure the room was beautiful. She also coordinated with the florist I had chosen. The food was very good. The staff on the evening of the rehearsal dinner were excellent. I highly recommend Due Amici for any function.
My husband and I decided to have a smaller, non-traditional wedding. As I was searching for venues I saw that Due Amici had space for up to 80 guests. I'd eaten there previously, but hadn't realized that they had an event room and was pretty excited that they did since their food is excellent!
Lucky for us they had the date we were interested available and we were able to book our wedding. We had both our ceremony and reception at Due Amici. Although, they do sit down dinners, that wasn't what we wanted. Instead we chose to go with a reception in which we served lots of heavy hors d'oeuvres. Everything happened just as we had discussed with Lexie, the event manager.
Overall, I was very pleased with having our event at Due Amici. It was just what my husband and I wanted! Other pluses were that in keeping the number of guests down we were able to keep the cost of the reception fairly reasonable and that with all the exposed brick in the event room at Due Amici pictures taken at the reception came out really well!!
If you are looking for an event space to have a smaller wedding or a rehearsal dinner I highly recommend Due Amici both for the quality of the food and the service that they provide.
I absolutely loved my rehearsal dinner at Due Amici! I could not have asked for a better venue. My guest loved the food and the service was amazing. I would recommend them to anyone holding a dinner for a large group!
We had a fabulous rehearsal dinner at Due Amici. The background is that we accidentally WAY overbooked the event and invited too many people to sit in their private room that we had reserved. We figured this out at the last minute. The restaurant was extremely accommodating and let us switch the event to the main dining room (for a significantly increased food/drink minimum, granted). We appreciated Lexie's extra help, hard work, and willingness to help solve the problem that we had created!! The food and wine was superb as usual for their restaurant. The atmosphere is beautiful and cozy. Highly recommend!
My bridal shower was at Due Amici, and it couldn't have been more beautiful. I wanted a place in the city, and my family wanted Italian, so it worked perfectly. Everyone was so helpful and easy to work with. I am a vegan, and they went out of their way to help create special menu choices. I received so many compliments on the atmosphere, service, and food. I would recommend Due Amici to anyone!
My husband booked Due Amici because of the location and its closeness to our hotel. However, I could not have been HAPPIER with the choice!
The food was phenomenal and we were given plenty of options for our guests. There was even a choice for the children at the dinner. We had three courses and I ate EVERYTHING!
The house wine was delicious and all of our guests said they have never been to a better rehearsal dinner. We even had our own private room.
I would recommend them to ANY bride.
Due Amici was wonderful. We had our rehearsal dinner there. It was a large party of about 40 guests, and it was simply amazing. The food was incredible, they even made custom menus for the bride and groom! Their service was fabulous. Lexie was great to work with-- she was on top of things and always would get back to you quickly. The privato room is great too, it's so urban unique feel. Exposed brick, beautiful leather chairs-- exactly what we wanted!
We highly recommend Due Amici after using them for our wedding reception. Lexie was great! She responded quickly to all of our questions and concerns, was very detail oriented, and extremely professional. All of our guests RAVED about the food and appetizers. The waitstaff was also terrific, especially the bartender.. they we're attentive and helpful. Our entire experience with the restaurant was easy and enjoyable!
We had a small wedding reception here and it couldn't have gone more smoothly! Lexie helped us plan and set up everything we asked for and the staff at the reception were phenomenal. We had some vegetarians and some kids in the group and they were very accommodating for everyone. The space was beautiful and private and the food was delicious. They also followed up with us after the wedding to see if all went well and sent a very personal thank you for using them which I thought was above and beyond.
My husband and I held our son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Due Amici. This was our first son to marry and we did not know all of the details to consider but Lexie Ganter did. She was organized, assisted us with the process and was flexible with our needs. The semi-private room afforded us the privacy we needed but also allowed us to have space to move around. A very nice touch were the personalized printed menus with the dinner selections and the Bride & Groom's names available for each guest. The food was excellent, wonderful......what else is there to say? The serving staff did an unbelievable job of serving, pouring, and clearing. We did not use the valet parking as there is an abundant amount of street and off street parking. I would not hesitate to have another event at Due Amici's!
We got married on the beach in Florida and wanted to have our reception downtown to give our guests from out of town and out of a state a feel for how great Columbus is.
Lexie and her Team were great to work with and helped with details I didn't think about. We showed a slide show with pictures from our wedding day and I also made a special playlist on my ipod, but honestly it was too loud to hear it.
We had a large group and really packed the place, but the Team did a great job of assisting with the best way to utilize the space while making everyone comfortable. We also enjoyed that we were able to overflow onto the patio as we had a beautiful evening and spent a good deal of time outside. The staff kept the appetizers stocked all night and my glass was never empty.
We had about 35 people for our rehearsal dinner and used the semi-private room at Due Amici. The guests raved about the food, drink and service. Our glasses were never empty and the night flew by. My only complaint is that the valet was VERY poorly staffed and our party ended up blocking traffic on Gay St. trying to enter the building. I would request extra valets for your event.
Due Amici was great! Lexie, their event planner was so nice, flexible and easy to work with and our food tasted amazing! Not to mention our older guests were please because there is parking in front of the restaurant.
The rehearsal dinner space is very modern and the restaurant itself has a lot of character. The food is wonderful and they let you bring in your own wine to serve for a $15 corking fee, which saved us some money. The only downfall of the night was that another party had blown out their speakers the previous weekend, so we could not use a special music playlist we made for the occasion. We had the max amount of guests that the space allowed - 65 - and everyone fit comfortably and had a great time.
