6 Best Italian Restaurants near Smiths Station

“I really really wish I could do more than 5 stars! I always check out reviews before trying somewhere new and some of them were saying bland FALSE! Tons of flavor. Others talked about waiting for a long time but as a former chef if you want fresh homemade by hand ingredients then you wait! Now for my experience was absolutely perfect could not of asked for better service than I received! I called in a ToGo order for a 12”deluxe and a hot Italian sub combo! All I can say is WOW!!! The flavors was absolutely amazing I like my pizza crispy so i asked if they could cook a little longer and she said absolutely no problem and it was PERFECT! As for the Sub another WOW if you like Italian sandwiches please please please run don’t walk here! I have never had a more authentic flavorful sandwich on my life! The fries fresh cut and fried to perfection! To all you 1 star people you must be a group of Karens because I have not 1 single complaint with this place! Service was soo polite my order literally only took 25 minutes to be ready! If you want the BEST pizza in the tri city area do not hesitate! All I ask is be patient every single business out there is struggling to find employees to stay or even do the job correctly but with my experience no issues at all I will be bringing my entire family back so they can enjoy this place as well!!!“

“In a desperate search for non-commercial pizza, we came across this gem. I would say it looks rather intimidating from the outside. But, go inside and you will find friendly staff, fresh ingredients, and a place where the locals frequent. Absolutely yummy!“

“This spot is a real treat! Hidden just off the main strip in uptown Columbus, it offers a small but very unique and flavorful menu. The drink menu is above average as well.Recommend reservations a night or two in advance. We showed up on a random week night and were sat at the bar. The tenders were attentive and friendly. The portion sizes are reasonable and affordable. Will return!PS apologies for the half eaten pictures.. was so hungry and forgot to grab them early enough.“

“I spent 46$ here without the tip for just my son and I. I didn’t see kid meals/options on the menu so I asked and was told they have a cheese pizza, and a few limited other options. My son loves pizza but he loves toppings and the lady said they can do a pepperoni pizza, I said that’ll be great. I was charged extra for the pepperoni (which I was not instructed of). But before ordering our entrees, I ordered the garlic knots which were about 7$ and it was labeled as an appetizer, so I assumed I would be able to snack on them with my 2 year old as we wait. I got chicken Alfredo and about 20-30 mins I was wondering where the appetizer was but within a few seconds of that thought, it came with the rest of our food. I was disappointed because at that point I didn’t need the knots as my chicken Alfredo also came with the breads too. I asked if the chicken Alfredo was a big portion since it alone was 22$ and the lady insisted it was, and I would be able to split it into 2 but I honestly feel, that wasn’t the case, and paying 22$ for a single entree is ridiculous when it’s something so simple such as chicken Alfredo. My son’s pizza was about 11$ too. Drinks were 3$ a piece. They do offer military discount but that’s 7% unlike the minimum 10% we normally get. They offered for me to pay in cash for a cheaper transaction that would’ve made my bill less than 2$ cheaper. I felt we could’ve been checked on just a tad bit more and as I stated it was our first time there, she could’ve suggested some options especially with the menus having no pictures of things to grasp a child’s eye to eat.“

“Cafe Amici never dissappoints! One of my college roommates and I caught them right before closing this week and the meals were as if we'd been there within the first hours of operation. I had the Cabonera and she had a Chicken Cusine...not sure of what it was called but it had tomatoes and she chose Angel Hair pasta. I was nervous to take her, as she is a native of New York and we all know they are renowned for Italian. It did ruin our 32 year Sisterhood ?“

“I frequent Your Pie at the downtown location, but the last time we went it was exceptionally busy. Line out the door, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the staff was handling it. Everyone was very polite, didn't seem flustered and everything came out quickly.“
