   Interior renovation during 2020-2021 pandemic closure

   Columbus Park Trattoria used its pandemic-era closure to fully renovate its interior, which had been largely unchanged since the restaurant opened in the mid-1980s. The redesign replaced the old dark-walls-and-tablecloths look with a brighter, more minimalist space featuring a new white quartz and walnut bar, Venetian plaster walls, and accent colors inspired by Puglia and Southern Italy. The menu and ownership (Michael Marchetti) were unchanged.

   Why this matters: Readers of older reviews describing Columbus Park Trattoria's dim, old-school dining room should know the interior was substantially renovated around 2020-2021 into a brighter, modern look, even though the food and ownership stayed the same.
