11 Best Italian Restaurants near Delaware

“My son took me here for my birthday, it was late on a Friday evening. Our waitress was so nice and recommended to combine the two dishes that I couldn't decide between. The combined dish was Parmasen crusted Chicken on fettuccine alfredo and was so good. Thank you so much for the recommendation!“

“I'm pretty pizza obsessed. I've been making pizza at home for over 15 years and have tried most all of the bigger pizza spots around Columbus. I was recently in Delaware and had an opportunity to try Mohio Pizza.I’ll be the first to tell you that, while I really enjoy Columbus style pizza, it’s not my absolute favorite style. I personally make a Neapolitan style and I seek out similar style pies around town. I was impressed as hell with this pizza. I wanted to try a couple flavors, so I got half pep and half sausage and poblano pepper.The freshness of the pie was immediately evident. The toppings, sauce and cheese were in perfect harmony. Both halfs were equally delicious. The crust was crispy, chewy and flavorful. I suspected that it was sourdough and that was confirmed with a chat with the owner and pizza chef, Moe. I’ve tried a ton of pizza shops in the nearly 25 years I’ve lived in Columbus and this was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in central Ohio. I’m back at home and all I can think about is going back up to Delaware to grab another pizza.“

“We have recently moved to the area and have already been here 3x, the food is THAT good. We dined in once and carried out twice. Their pizza is hot, delicious, fresh, full of flavor. The prices are reasonable for today's dining market. Service was excellent for our dine in experience. The antipasto appetizer is a MUST if you enjoy roasted vegetables, off the hook good. Street parking with parking for pickup available. My only comment on the downside was that the hazy IPA beer I had from the tap was flat.“

“A favorite of mine it has good pizza and subs. The wings though are the top thing I like to get. Biggest issue with the service is that they are usually so busy.Parking: Usually very busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Parking can be a premium.Kid-friendliness: The place is great and horrible for kids at the same time. It is great in that the food fits their style and they welcome them.It is horrible in that they are usually packed and the tables are jammed that it can be hard to move around with child carriers.“

“I asked for thin dough rolled out. The owner Zamir told his staff and it was the best NY style I’ve had since I lived in NY. Always ask for Zamir to instruct the staff before you order and you won’t be disappointed. He usually leaves by 2 PM so he leaves note for staff for later orders. Best NY style pizza in the city of Delaware. Thank You!!!“

“So, I drive by this place all the time but this was my first time trying them out. I called in my order for take out.... I ordered the 10" pizza with extra cheese and bacon and i also ordered 6 wings, extra crispy, with Garlic Parm sauce. They had my order ready in about 20 minutes. Both the pizza and wings were hot and still hot when I got home, about 10 minutes away.The service.... I ordered over the phone and that was very easy. When I arrived, the staff was very busy but waited on me quickly. They weren't as friendly as I would have liked, especially for a local establishment, but they were efficient and attentive. The in dining area was small but tastefully decorated. There were about 10 people dining in.The pizza.... I liked the size and it had a generous amount of toppings. They also provided an extra cup of the sauce for dipping. The sauce was tasty with just enough spices and they use real bacon, definitely a plus.. Unfortunately they burnt the bottom which I didn't see until I got home; and while it still was edible, the burnt taste prevailed.The wings..... They gave me 4 flats and 2 drumsticks and as I mentioned, I ordered them extra crispy. The size, taste and texture were fine but unfortunately they weren't done crispy enough for my liking.I will probably give them another try but I was hoping for a better experience.Parking: Small lot and nothing up close“

“The Best Italian Restaurant in Columbus! I’m very impressed with the service here. To the hosts, servers, manager, chefs, kitchen staffs, and bar tenders, EXCELLENT job! The dishes are all so delicious. Very lucky to have this Gem in town. Thank you!“

“I can't stop thinking about this place!! Everything was beyond incredible.... But that pasta..... A homemade pasta and pasta sauce is to literally die for!!! I also really appreciate how we ordered a pizza there and we didn't want mushrooms so we took them off and our waiter took some money off our pizza price to correspond with us removing a topping. I have never had a place do that for us but that's really smart and kind of them, so thank you for whoever came up with that clever idea. Also thank you to the staff there for making that whole experience as superb as it was!“

“I got the works and pepperoni half. The sauce is a bit spicy and fresh tasting. The dough is a little sweeter. The pizza was very good as the toppings are loaded on it. The restaurant is adding some much needed seating area. Once they get it done, it should be a great place to sit and enjoy some pie.“

“Sunday, September 17, 2023 was my first visit to this Sbarro and I was thoroughly impressed. I had a simple pep and cheese and I have to say that it was one the best pies that I have had overall in quite some time. Not to mention, in comparison to other Sbarro's pizza that I have had over the year this Sbarro's made the organization proud. I had a hard time trying to stop eating this pie. They have definitely gained me a new customer and I would highly recommend anyone wanting a fresh, tasty pie in my opinion that is made just right, I encourage you to give them a try.“

“You need to meet Beth the general manager of the store. She is full of energy and knows how to take care of her customers. She likes her customers and will go out of her way to help you whether it is a coupon or a good tasting pizza. Massey is fortunate to have Beth.Thanks Beth, ChuckPs: Jesus Christ loves you so much!!!“
