This place is a gem! The vibe is cool but not stuffy. The menu is small but has a good variety and all are phenomenally curated. They were also kind toward my food allergies! The bartenders were friendly and very skilled (upon observation), not just "jack & coke"s. After recently moving from Houston, I've been struggling to find quality food spots, this did not disappoint. I will definitely be back! read more

Street parking. Able to walk in and grab a table! Great service. The Caesar salad was delish. Well dressed and the variety of lettuces was a great way to have Caesar. The rigatoni chicken was good. Slightly spicy. A bit too salty for my taste. That being said, I ate it all! The pizza was great. Very thin crust. Great balance with the sauce. Amazing quick dinner. read more

What a fun sweet spot full of classic flavors! Came here after work and was given amazing service. The menu was full of amazing options for even vegetarians like me. While the space is small and cozy you felt removed from a loud crowd. The booth felt private and you can have a nice conversation. Make sure to leave room for the desserts too! read more

Pizza and service were excellent. Sourdough crust was incredible. Had a nice environment, good spot to eat a long lunch and hangout

I bring every person I'm trying to impress here. The ambiance and architecture are so lovely. Amazing service. The mushroom pizza has been my favorite menu item so far, and their old-fashioned cocktails are to die for! read more

Everything was over the top from beginning to end. We were early and surprised our taste buds by some complimentary fried chickpeas since it was before 5pm, due to a scheduled concert at 7pm. We shared a salad which worked well and opened our taste buds to our choices of what turned out to be "pasta treats" we both had. They do not brag about it but all the pastas are either made by them or another local maker of fine pastas (Pasta la Fata) Our server was superb and took exceptional care to see that everything was well timed and satisfactory or above. This might have been easy, since we were the first customers, but within 30 minutes the place was busy and satisfied smiles and comments filled the air. What is odd is that we went there primarily to see the renovation and finishes to the place by a good friend of my son and found it to be perfect for the setting. The food was more than fitting as the basis for his attention to detail. Next time you're in town for a seminar, game, match, court case or on your way between Missouri's two largest cities, stop to eat at the best city in the state - Columbia. If you live there, you know what I am talking about. read more

We came in for a weekday lunch, and we were seated right away. We had heard great things so had high expectations. Service was good overall. - Taverna burger (4/5): burger was good but not amazing. Good flavor overall. Fries were very crispy and delicious - Mushroom pizza (3.5/5): Pizza was tasty but I feel like it needed more sauce and or toppings. read more

Great Italian food, cozy place but active. Great service, although it can get busy and waits can be long (but worth it).

What a delicious friendly beautiful space for a late lunch. Shared the antipasto salad served lightly dressed, crisp salad, fresh and plentiful for two. Alex brought the hubby a couple of beers to try. The very good pilsner from New Zealand, only had enough for 2/3 glass (which Alex gifted to a happy husband) then he had the also great brown ale from Civil Life. Chose two pizzas, their sausage and the margarita. That fermented sourdough crust is for the gods!! The bubble crust with the charred bits can hold it's own with a little fold, perfect. Afraggato, cannoli, and spumonis to end this meal. Beautiful windows, minimalist decor. We had a Beautiful day bike riding the Katy Trail and stopping here for a very very nice meal. read more

Such an amazing find in Columbia this was a fantastic pizza and cannoli and wings. We have been back already. kind of small but never a huge wait. There the cat is out of the bag - hope they have a long run in Columbia read more

Modern, cozy decor, friendly vibe, delish pizza and fair pricing. Will be back. Xxxx

The lasagna was amazing, as well the mule. Nice ambience, but the small space felt a little crowded. Waitress was short mannered.

Stopped in for dinner during Columbia's True False film festival. The atmosphere is warm and casual, very cute bar area. Service was great! Burrata appetizer was amazing, the bread was crispy and sesame flavor paired well with the cheese, honey and prosciutto. Cavatelli seemed handmade and texture was perfect, though the dish itself was a little bland. The eggplant rollatini seemed a little burnt and was just ok. We also ordered the house Sangiovese wine, which came in a casual carafe and was delish for a very reasonable price. Recommend a visit and to order the burrata and house red! read more

Peach pizza? Yes indeed. Quite delicious but the standout was actually the fried chickpeas. So tender and "perfectly spiced" to quote our 4 year old. Salad was a perfect pairing. read more

Great location, space and Ambiente: Service friendly. Food excellent. Prices are alright therefore 4 and not 5 stars read more

What a sweet first experience at one of Columbia's newest spots in town! Given the newness, the wait time was about an hour & a half, so be prepared to nab a drink or snack at another location while you wait (their bar is packed too!). The restaurant itself was small, and sound multiplies here! All of these 'cautions' I assume will subside after the initial high wears off. Outside of these things... Wish I had more photos, but again it was packed, so couldn't. But the interior is BEAUTIFUL! Looks beautiful refurbished, clean, and fitting to the old Italian theme. We were seated at a 'family style' table , which at first was jarring when you're on a date and another couple is directly next to you at the table. But- it ended well, pun intended ;). We were able to swap recommendations and learn about others in our community. Our waitress was also so kind and attentive to us, wish I caught her name! As for the food - hard to rate Italian spots when we've been to Italy , but Endwell was by far the best in town. We got the Antipasti board, which was delicious! Was pleasantly surprised with the portion size here. The cacio e Pepe is one of my favs, and I certainly was not disappointed. Thought about it for days after. Then we ended with the clam pizza, chef's kiss! We will be back soon! read more

We had great service--from reservations to dining. Very hip spot in the Arts District. Loved the burrata appetizer. The rolled eggplant was delicious for our vegetarian diner (and I sampled too), the pizza crust was perfect. Would recommend! read more

Fantastic food, drinks, and ambiance. One of the best places in como for a nice dinner. Highly recommend their chicken riggies and Misticanza salad. The wait was a bit long and they do not take reservations if you want to dine in for dinner after 5 pm. However, go in earlier to put your name on the waitlist. read more

Went here for dinner, had a reasonable wait and a really convenient queue system. There was a small issue with communication on service, but they owned up to the mistake and totally made up for it. Food was great and we even have leftovers for lunch! read more

A friend and I visited the evening of Friday, Aug. 2, 2024. She put in our names before 6 p.m., and we were quoted a wait of about an hour, which we spent exploring nearby art galleries and shops. The restaurant texted when ready to seat us. We were shown to a communal table next to a party of four, but we didn't mind because it allowed us to spy on their menu choices and plot our orders. To start, we ordered fried chickpeas seasoned with salt and smoked paprika and a burrata appetizer with a panzanella that included fresh tomato, corn, and arugula. The chickpeas were a moreish salty nibble, and the creamy burrata pleased the table. Our server was attentive and kept the meal moving smoothly. For mains, we ordered the mushroom pizza (featuring fontina, balsamic onions, pecorino, and mint) and a fusili dressed with mushrooms, broccolini, onions, ricotta, and parmesan. All was delicious, and we didn't have room for dessert, despite the tempting tiramisu and pistachio-encrusted cannoli we spotted nearby. Next time. The place was crowded and buzzing, making it a little loud (and difficult to hear) at times, but overall a good experience. read more

Have been trying to go to this restaurant every time we are in town and finally secured a reservation. The place is on the smaller side, but tables not crowded. Staff is friendly and food terrific. The cocktails were exceptional. This is the place for wood fired pizza. The crust was so thin and chewy, salads large enough to split with much left over. Pastas on other tables looked great too. Great spot in COMO! read more

we met friends there for dinner a few weeks ago. Food was good but the noise level is out of control. This makes everyone then raise their speaking volume of to be heard. It needs some acoustical treatment. When that is added we will go back. read more

I was a big fan of Endwell until today. The placed served very good food when it opened. It would appear that matters have slipped. First, let me qualify my experience - i have worked in top-notch restaurants in New Orleans, north carolina, Mobile, Alabama, and I owned and operated a mobile kitchen in South Carolina. I also served as the restaurant reviewer for Arizona Food and Life magazine. That behind us, I have been disappointed in the food service at Endwell on my last two visits. Understand, I want success for it. However, the pizza we ordered today was exceptionally greasy, and the 'tuscan' chicken wings were a bomb. Now my first job was at a neighborhood pizza joint many years ago. I learned then that subtely soured cheese can 'break' when fired in the oven. Breaking is a process where oil separates from the product when heated. Toppings like pepperoni can also add to that, but, when I see lakes of grease, I suspect it may be the cause. I pointed this out to our server in the most helpful and friendly way. She was gracious and offered to replace it. Apparently, she alerted the kitchen help who were not pleased, nor were they particularly polite. We were visited by an obviously angered cook in need of explaination. I explained my thoughts politely, and accepted a redo. The pizza was very greasy, once again. I do not intend to return anytime soon. Which is sad, because the pizzas I enjoyed prior to my last two visits were excellent. read more

Food is really good. Had pizza for dinner and went back for lunch and had a mortadella sandwich which was off the chart good.

Came for a late lunch and everything was excellent; salad was fresh and had just the right amount of dressing, sandwiches were huge and the fries are my new favorite! Loved the decor & service was excellent. read more

Food and service were both excellent. We will be back. Ambiance was conniving and the decor matched the dining experience.

Loud but most of all pesky. I met an old friend for lunch to catch up. We basically were approached so many times we couldn't enjoy our conversation. They were more interested in turning tables than allowing us to enjoy our lunch. It was only 1 hour and 15 minute lunch but they treated us like it was 2. Might be a perfect place for someone on a hour lunch only to have. Endwell did not Endwell for us. read more

Delicious food and cocktails in a lovely building. Our hostess and server were both friendly and professional.

The FOOOD! The SERVICE! This is not a place to miss. They have season items so you can have something new every time. The staples are also to die for. You gotta try this place out if you are in Columbia! read more

The service was great and friendly! The food was wonderful, the eggplant parm was delicious and pizza was so good. I will definitely go again. read more

Had dinner with a group of 6 the other night. Service was excellent. Food and drinks were fine. We had a variety of salads, pizza and a few other dishes. We all thought the food was fine....not fabulous, but fine. What bothered us the most was the noise level. We could not have a discussion due to the LOUD, I mean super loud sound levels in the place. It was frustrating for all of us. Due to this one issue, most of us said we would not come back. The other minor issue was that for a party of 6 they would not equally divide our bill by 6 and take a card from each of us to pay. We all eat out frequently and it is rare that we cannot spit the bill. Minor complaints, but enough to keep us away. read more

This new restaurant is already Columbia's best restaurant. Great service, relaxed ambience, interesting, original menu and perfect execution. We had the antipasti salad, the Calabrian chicken wings, shrimp bucatini and sausage pizza. We tried to give a first place award on that list but couldn't. The salad was fresh and garnished with the right amount of salami, cheese and sun-dried tomatoes (also had an excellent vinaigrette). The wings were instantly habit-forming. They're fried very crisp and served with long shavings of celery and a gorgonzola cheese sauce. The surprise in the bucatini was the fresh mint, an original and delicious accent. We had already tried Endwell's pizza at the Farmer's Market and knew it was good, but it's even better served at the table. This is chewy, thin crust -- true Italian crust. Crust should not be a throwaway experience, and Endwell's is so good we used it to sop up some sauce from the bucatini. As if we needed to eat more... read more
