The 7 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Wheeling, West Virginia (WV)
Wheeling is a city in Ohio and Marshall counties in the U.S. state of West Virginia. Located almost entirely in Ohio County, of which it is the county seat, it lies along the Ohio River in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Wheeling was originally a settlement in the British colony of Virginia and later an important city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Wheeling was the first state capital of West Virginia. Due to its location along major transportation routes, including the Ohio River, National Road, and the B&O Railroad, Wheeling became a manufacturing center in the late nineteenth century. After experiencing the closing of factories and substantial population loss following World War II, Wheeling's major industries now include healthcare, education, law and legal services, entertainment and tourism, and energy.

It is hard with one review only to give enough credit for who run this place . Quality matters. If you are looking for quality, from the wine selection , to the cakes or a sandwiches ( made with fresh and esclusive ingredients not easy to find these days ) this is the place you want to go. Pizzetta on Friday and Saturday is excellent and it became a tradition for loyal customers. The cheese selection is impressive ( I personally believe most of the ‘’ bottega ‘’= little supermarket in Europe , it has not the selection Good Mansion Wine has) Last but not least: Kindness matters in this difficult period for human relationships: this place makes the clock go back when discussing over a glass of wine or a meal was normal. Highly recommend the wine taste.
