Travinia Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar Lexington

We visited Travinia in Columbia, SC on a whim traveling back to Augusta from conference and was absolutely surprised! Being a Boston transplant, I had no shortage of access to world class Italian cuisine in the North End, and for the first time since moving to Augusta my taste buds danced with excitement. What a great meal and outstanding service in a warm and very inviting atmosphere that was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. We even were approached by Philippe the GM to ask us how we we were doing and was so concerned about our experience he gave us his card. Top class food and service. Do yourself a favor and dine at this fine establishment! Highly recommended

Nikki us an amazing server and extremely personable and knowledgeable about the whole menu. This also included the new wines they are bringing I to their menu. The food is outstanding and the overall experience is amazing. Highly suggest heading there for dinner. Try the Italian Nachos as an appetizer and the pine nut crusted salmon for dinner, absolutely yummy!

We absolutely loved Travinia! This was our first time here and the bartender and the hospitality manager that were here tonight were great! We didn’t have a meal, we sat at the bar and had wine and Italian Nachos. The nachos were amazing! And then the hospitality manager and very knowledgeable of his wine. We had ordered one of the wines off of the reserve list and they ended up not having it, so the hospitality manager came over with a few different bottles for my husband to try to decide on a different glass of wine to have. Highly satisfied, and we will definitely come back here when we are in town again!

I like their effort. They try to make authentic food, but from what I have tasted, their sauces are sweeter than I like. But some may prefer this in a sauce. Also I think they should pair the dish with the pasta better. For example, capellini should be paired with light sauces (lemomy or seafood) and heavy beef dishes should be paired with a thicker pasta like rigatoni or bow ties. However, the waitress allowed me to choose the paste type that I preferred so my overall experience was still good. The social distancing is perfect.
