My girlfriend and I came here for a lunch on a day trip to Columbus. Upon arrival, we were seated quickly and promptly attended to for drinks and appetizers. We ordered the garlic bread and it was brought out pretty quickly. The bread was not what I had expected, instead it was more of a cheesy bread (but no complaints from me--I love my cheese!). Along with that, we were given three sauces to choose from: whipped fetta, pesto, and marinara. Our server, Joseph, recommended the whipped fetta and pesto and I whole-heartedly agree with that recommendation! The pesto was the best I've had (albeit in my limited experience) and the whipped fetta was just heavenly, especially on the crust of the bread!
For the main course we went with the pecora nera pizza topped with pepperoni, slow cooked onions, mozzarella, and pancetta, served Neapolitan style! It was a very delicious pizza that was neither greasy nor burnt. It had the right level of crunchiness without crumbling, while also being juicy with toppings, but not being overly soggy.
To top off the meal, our two dessert options were either tiramisu or a lemon style crème cake. We opted for the lemon crème cake since tiramisu is abundant in Italian restaurants and we wanted to branch out a bit. We made the right choice, as the cake was just the perfect amount of lemon to not be overly sweet or sour, but just perfect to satisfy my sweet tooth! Served chilled, the cake just melted right into your mouth giving way to a fantastic lemon cake flavor! Although the cake was meant to have a strawberry topping (they had ran out), I felt it was perfect just the way it was!
Overall, Black Sheep has fantastic food nestled in downtown Columbus just steps away from Mill Race Park that offered a casual but elegant dining experience. We will definitely be coming back next time we're in town!
