This past weekend, the third installment of the My Big Fat Greek Wedding franchise hit the box office for another heart-warming adventure. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 takes Toula Portokalos back to Greece for a family reunion, where she hopes to locate her deceased father’s friends. Besides Michael Constantine –who played the patriarch of the Portokalos family in the first two films and passed away in 2021 – the movie brings back much of the beloved original cast. In addition to starring in the films, Nia Vardalos both wrote and directed this third movie, allowing her to leave a personal touch on the story she’s been telling for over two decades. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 is currently only in theaters, but it will likely land on streaming platforms later in the year.

Columbus gained another Cameron Mitchell gem with the opening of Cento – an Italian eatery inspired by the authentic flavors of Italy. Cento, which means “100” in Italian, is appropriately named to honor Cameron Mitchell’s 100th restaurant opening. The cozy indoor lighting and the patio – which could easily be mistaken for an Italian garden – brings a touch of intimacy to every visitor. Dinner guests can look forward to a modern twist on centuries-old recipes with gluten-free and vegetarian options. Located at 595 S. 3rd St., the restaurant brings a piece of Italy to the heart of German Village.
