Low key this is one of the best cocktail lounges in the GV/Brewery area. Service is on point, atmosphere is consistent, and quality is what you want in an upscale lounge. Highly recommend.

Got carryout, but food really good, I saw someone eating the pistachio cake. Looked really good next time. Quaint indoor and outdoor dining spaces, interesting architecture in the German Village area.

This has been our go to place in German Village for three years. Had our engagement party at Ferdinand’s and have enjoyed countless happy hours/dinners. Great vibe inside or out. You won’t be disappointed, give it a try!

Great food experience. Came here unknowing what to expect when we went out to dinner with friends and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is a cute small place with an open kitchen with a crew that sounds like a real family. Our server was very nice and helpful. The food was fantastic, we had brussel sprouts, caprese (the amount of mozzarella was kind of a joke though), fattoush salad, eggplant parmesan, and sausage & peppers. Service was a bit slow, but that's alright. I would come back again in the future, and would recommend bistrolino for anyone wanting some solid Italian fusion cuisine.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is NO wheelchair accessibility here, not even a ramp. Be prepared to lift.

Me and my boyfriend went here last night for a date night and I’ve been to many restaurants in Columbus and this one definitely has been the most memorable and delicious I’ve had. To start it’s in such a cute area, it’s very lowkey, but the atmosphere in the restaurant is very cute it’s small and cozy. Our waitress was very nice and attentive even though it was very busy. The menu options are fantastic it was honestly so hard to choose. We got the salmon tortellini and the tortellini parmigiana and it was divine some of the best I’ve had. I don’t think I could focus on what my boyfriend was saying this dish was so amazing. We absolutely will be coming back to try other things. Absolutely an essential place to go if you are in Columbus what a gem ?

Had a great meal. Can't wait for summer porch

Wildly overpriced! I have no idea who is coming up with these recipes but they are unlike anything I’ve experienced elsewhere, and I do not mean that as a compliment. I had the rosemary chicken with potatoes and it was downright foul. The top was burnt to a crisp and what was described as a “white sauce” was flavorless and watered down. As for the fattoush, I recommend they go to any other middle eastern restaurant in the city and see what it’s supposed to be.

Fattoush here is not … fattoush ( Im middle eastern). The rosemary chicken was a bizarre dish. The rosemary was burnt on top with the breadcrumbs. The chicken was okay. The sauce was good but runny. Potatoes need more cooking. Bread and zatar were good though.Noticed the response to the reviews are very snarky, reactionary and close minded. Reviews are there to let you know what you’re doing well or not well.. they aren’t there for you to REVIEW. If the owner takes responsibility and makes adjustments instead of taking things personally.. the business will be successful.

Bistrolino is a hidden gem IMO. I’m also amazed by the quality of the food and service given that the prices are very reasonable. It was 14-18 for most entrees. They weren’t giant sized but didn’t leave me wanting more and were delicious! The eggplant Parmesan was awesome. I met the owner Sam who seemed like a really nice guy who was very appreciative that we were at his restaurant. The vibe of the restaurant is cool too, and there’s a bar attached to it. It looks like a repurposed old home in German Village in the best way. This one is an easy sell, come here and try it out!
