19 Best Italian Restaurants near Columbia

“This is my wife and I’s favorite spot in Columbia! It is an outstanding experience all around. Super friendly staff and a great menu that has anything you are looking for. The homemade chicken strips are our favorite, but the smoked wings are some of the best wings I have ever had. We highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“Great service. Delicious food.“

“Got dinner last night with the family, and our waitress Mariah was fantastic! Our 2 little girls just adored her! Of course we got the fried cheese which is always top tier! The pasta was fantastic and my kids both enjoyed their food. It’s always nice to eat somewhere and the staff treat you like family. Will definitely be back another only because the food was good but because the staff is amazing!“

“First time back in 9 years! Sausage pizza was good, green olive arugula and prosciutto piza was just okay. Cannelloni was decent. Tivoli salad was solid. Inside was dead and it took just over 30 minutes for the pizza and 25 minutes for the pasta.

Overall it's decent, worth a try if you like wood fired pizza.

Original Review - Amazing purely Italian pizza. This place is a little slice of Italy in st.louis. There's an option for anyone and even a gluten free crust. The staff is slightly ineffective but they are also a new company and family owned so they just need a little time. Favorite pizza place in stl by far.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very nice ppl. Best pizza ?“

“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.“

“Our group was celebrating a birthday tonight. It was also our first time here so we ordered several items off the menu to try: the house salad, the smoked BBQ chicken pizza, the margherita pizza, tiramisu and brownies. Everything was delicious except the brownies. I'm not sure if it was a bad batch or just not to our taste. The servers were very nice, but not super attentive. We had to ask to for refills. We were there for the dinner rush and it was busy so it was understandable. We will definitely come back.“

“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 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!“

“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“
