Travinia Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar

Went on a Saturday night for a solo date and it was very quiet. The staff were all very friendly and nice. The atmosphere was cozy and dark, just the vibe I was in the mood for. I was craving lasagna and the pictures I saw online caught my attention. The nachos were interesting, I thought it had too many textures that didnt really go together. But I appreciated the server recommending a half portion, the full would have been way too much! And I was only charged half portion so that was a nice touch. The balsamic roasted brussel sprouts, lasagna and cannoli were okay. Seemed to be missing flavor to me. But the portions were large and gave me an additional two meals. The Cosmo martini was also just okay...again good portion though. I would try this place again, hoping the blandness was a one

Had lunch at Travinia yesterday. My usual order is the crab dip appetizer. I also ordered a salad with blue cheese dressing. Loved every bit of it. My friend ordered The fried ravioli appetizer and Alfredo with chicken. She loves it. This is my 3rd visit to this establishment and will be back again. Highly recommend.

Been here several times and its always a great time. If you want a nice Italian dinner with great service and atmosphere this is a great place!

We ordered spaghetti to share as we just missed the cut off for the lunch menu. Our whole reason for selecting this restaurant was the availability of gluten free options which they definitely have plenty of and clearly marked on the menu. The cheapest meal option for dinner is $18 for 3 vegetable sides. $20 for spaghetti with meat sauce. The atmosphere is incredible, this would be a really great spot for a date night or special occasion. Since we only got one dish I can’t give it a true food review but the sauce was herby and flavorful with maybe a pinch too much pepper. The noodles were corkscrew and tasted similar to many of the boxed gluten free pasta options you find at the grocery.

Back in Sept (2025) I was in Columbia, SC with family yet again! On a Tuesday afternoon a few of us decided to slip away for an afternoon lunch and elected to give Travinia a try. Upon arrival @ 2pm the large restaurant was fairly empty with the exception of only a few tables/booths. Was this a sign to turn around an abort the lunch mission? Thankful, the emptiness was not a sign of anything ominous. Lol. We were promptly seated at an intimate booth and served by the oh so pleasant Shannon. She was extremely sweet and informative, as this was the first time trying out Travinia for each of us. We started with calmari for the table. We were speechless by how delectable it was. The mix of assorted pickled peppers with in the perfectly fried tentacles and the marinara, also with a little h
