A new restaurant called Canario is coming to W. Russell Street in Columbus's Short North, bringing a new restaurant concept to the neighborhood. The restaurant comes from chef Jeremy Nelson and business partner Marco Piazza.
According to WhatNow, Nelson is the chef and Piazza is his business partner.
The provided research discusses the Canary Islands, but it does not establish the restaurant's connection to the Presa Canario breed. Canario's name is one detail of the restaurant's identity.
Nelson and Piazza's Roles
Nelson previously launched Umbral Supper Club in May 2024, according to 614NOW. Columbus Foodies also posted about the club on Facebook.
Nelson's résumé details are not established in the available material from Spires Social Brewing Co. or Columbus Food Adventures.
Piazza is Nelson's business partner. Cut & Dried Consulting is a restaurant consulting business.
The Restaurant's Short North Location
The 19 W. Russell Street building isn't a blank slate. It was previously home to Woodhouse Vegan Café, a plant-based bakery and café run by sisters Cara and Nicole Woodhouse that was preparing to close its café operations later that summer after roughly ten years in business, according to Columbus Navigator.
The building's layout is part of the site's description, which cites Zillow.
A New Addition to Short North Dining
Canario's arrival adds a new restaurant to the Short North. That makes the project notable as the neighborhood continues to evolve.
The Short North's business environment is another consideration for any restaurant opening in the corridor, with the article citing FYR Short North in its discussion of the area.
Canario is described as an intimate, chef-driven dining concept, with WhatNow reporting on the restaurant's arrival. A new spot gives Short North diners something fresh to watch.
