19 Best Italian Restaurants near Columbia

“Potato skins were awesome! Hot honey pepperoni pizza was good, but not great! Cheese didn't seem completely melted. MOD pizza beats them here, and that shouldn't be. We had to ask for a refill. However, our waitress was super nice. The hostess and bar tender were very nice. The place has TV views and a variety of sports playing, so over experience was really good!“

“Hands down the best casual eating experience. The friendly owner all the way to service and atmosphere. This is not a hidden gem. It is a local and community family friendly restaurant. If the weather is permitting I highly recommend the patio“

“Delicious food, great customer service. We've ordered from here for years! Our favorites are the fried mushrooms, Buffalo chicken pizza, and lobster ravioli!“

“We just left and had an amazing experience!!! From the food, to the server and the young man clearing our plates. Absolutely wonderful!!! Will definitely be back again - very soon!“

“We went there with a pizza pass to try it out. Had been to 15 other places listed on the pass and this one ranks number one. The best Detroit style Delux pizza and fried mushroom EVER.“

“I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and a glass of wine. The waitress was very friendly and attentive and my food and drink arrived within mere minutes. The red wine was an ok table wine, while the spaghetti arrived piping hot. The two large meatballs were very flavorful and the sauce on the fine spaghetti noodles was slightly flat. In my opinion it needed a bit more salt which I simply added myself. Overall the meal was enjoyable and the price was very reasonable. The portion was large so I brought half home for lunch the next day. My only criticism would be the atmosphere. It was too dark where I was sitting; I'm not a fan of eating by candlelight. I feel that dark dining vibe is a bit outdated.“

“My wife and I eat here once a week and we absolutely love it. The food is always amazing, always fresh. The gentleman that is always there, I don’t know his name which makes me feel bad but he’s super friendly and nice. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“We just had our first experience at Frederick’s this past Friday. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. We will be back soon.“

“Thanks for the OVER PRICED BLOODY WINGS! 🤮🤮🤮“

“Great service. Delicious food.“

“I was at Pasta House today with a group. Our server was excellent and greeter was pleasant! My side House Salad was delicious… the way I remember as I haven’t been in a long time and rolls delish as well. However my Chicken Breast was terrible and honestly should be taken off the Menu. I’m actually shocked that they let it go out of the kitchen as were the ladies sitting near me. The chicken breast had obviously been cut in half, so was very thin and dry with burnt pieces on it and was hard to cut and chew. I tried 2 bites and then asked to get another one which my group was about done so I only took one bite and took the rest home. I just tried eating it for dinner and although it was a tiny bit better than the first one, it was still dry and inedible so I made myself a sandwich instead. The side pasta I brought home also wasn’t good. I really do not like to do bad reviews but I spent $15 on this mostly inedible meal and thought others should know Thank you!“

“Landon provided excellent service! He was friendly, helpful, and made sure everything was great throughout the meal. He made the experience enjoyable and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Landon is a great employee, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant because of his outstanding service!“

“Very nice ppl. Best pizza ?“

“I grew up going to Montebello’s. Last night I went back to check it out after many years away. It did not disappoint. The new owners have kept all of the vintage charm but added a brighter, lighter ambiance. The food had all my old favorites, especially the T-Ravs and pizza. There were several new additions that I will try on a return visit. Good job Tanya!“

“My wife and I wanted deep dish pizza. I googled it, and this place came up. We went. Service was friendly and prompt, and the food was fantastic. Had the italian salad and deep dish pizza...both were top notch. We will definitely go back!!“

“I am updating this Review. My previous review was one star on each one after having the same sandwich completely butchered twice in one week and no, I did not ask for a refund either time. But today I decided I really wanted the sandwich. I didn't want to drive to a different town to get it so I ordered it and let me tell you I am so pleasantly surprised not only did they make it correctly, but they even gave me extra sauce and pepperoncini'a on the side and that was not necessary. It was not something that was paid for so I appreciate that 100% I don't know who it was at the window. He was kind respectful and whoever made the food obviously time and was also thoughtful about it so I am updating this review because I am pleasantly surprised with, how the service was today and unless something happens will stay the way it is. ☺️“

“Always amazing and have loved coming here since I was a kid“

“5⭐️ New favorite pizza joint!!“

“I don't live on the Southside of STL, but when Im craving Imos this is the one I go to. They don't miss. The inside is always clean, ingredients are fresh, and customer service is attentive. David is always helpful and makes sure your food is created to your liking - he is a 5 Star general!“
