9 Best Italian Restaurants in Columbia

“The chicken parm cannelloni is an absolute favorite in our house! Even my picky eater husband LOVES it! It’s usually on our dinner table at least once a week. Go visit them at the farmer’s market!“

“My wife and I had a late lunch there today and Riley who was taking care of the bar, also took care of our table. We had not eaten there since they moved to the new location. We started with the Calamari and we had just a few minutes to chat after we finished and our meals were brough to us. My wife had the Ravioli Aragosta and I had the spicy Chicken and Sausage. The meals looked great and tasted even better. The fresh bread that was brought to the table was perfect! Riley took care of all of our needs, and we never felt rushed. I definitely recommend this place and hope to return soon.“

“Whatever they are paying Larry ,?it’s not enough! He did everything by hisself out front! Including bussing, taking orders, carry out and dine in, taking food to the tables, and drive thru! The man was a machine! Hats off to Larry!“

“The food is great. The staff are old friends when you walk in the door. It is one of a kind! ♥️“

“We placed a large To Go order for a team on a very, very busy day (State HS XC and a home game weekend). All staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and tracking. Orders were accurate, labeled, and ready on time. This was exceptional and crucial bc of food allergies within our group! We will absolutely be working with OG CoMo for future orders!“

The ambiance of the taverna made for a cozy and inviting setting, perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal.

“I love the veggie pizza & spanakopita! My husband loved the spaghetti. The gin & tonic was huge & tasted very refreshing.“

“Hands down the BEST pizza place in town! If you’re craving true St. Louis–style pizza, this is the spot.

What makes it even better is the consistency—you never have to wonder if tonight’s pizza will be as good as the last, because it always is. And the service? Outstanding. The staff is friendly, quick, and genuinely cares that you’re having a great experience.

Whether it’s dine-in, carryout, or grabbing a pie to share with friends, this place delivers (literally and figuratively). Easily my go-to recommendation for anyone asking where to find the best pizza in town.“

“Randomly found this place the other day and it is some of the best pizza I've ever had. Cooked to perfection and amazing crust!!“
