Lola & Giuseppe's Trattoria

We truly enjoyed this “find” on our trip to Columbus, OH. The food was very good. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the amount of food that you receive. Food was served piping hot. The owner (Steve) made it a point to visit all tables and greet his guests. Guests stopped by our table to say goodbye to him before they left, which showed how many of his guests come often, probably because of not only his hospitality, but the quality of the food that is served. His son is the head chef. This is a family owned business, and they truly care.

We had there onion soup, Chicken Marsala and Shrimp and Lobster Ravioli. Unfortunately, they had sold out of lasagna before our reservation so we didn’t get to try it- it must be that good! Our original plan was to get the Giuseppe’s sampler. Next time we are in Columbus, we will be sure to book an earlier reservation time. I would recommend trying this little gem if you are in Columbus and want some amazing Italian food.

It was exceptional! The food was so amazing..just melts in your mouth. Ultimately the best meal we have ever had! Our waitress was wonderful! Loved how small the restaurant was. Can see why they are so busy and need reservation! We were beyond impressed and will absolutely 100% be back! ❤️

Everything that we tried was fantastic! The homemade blueberry lemon cake was out of this world delicious. So glad we were able to get a reservation and enjoy this place in person.

Service was poor. The men serving there didn't really seem to care. The cassata cake was the worst I ever had. It was very dry -- the cake was like a rock. Not an Italian bakery -- just in name. If the cassata was real sponge cake and layed with rum one each layer -- it surely would have been better. Unfortunately they missed the mark. Definitely not worth the $49 dollars. Good luck to you -- will not be back

You and your staff have always treated me so well. Even though it's always a to go order. It's always so fast. I'm so surprised at speed. THANK YOU

You must make reservations here as it is very small. The food and service are really great. You won't be disappointed.

The food is great. I see why this place has such a great reputation. 10/10 recommend

Very small venue so you must have reservations. Music a bit loud for such a small place but the Italian music was appreciated. The bread was tasteless. The lasagne was not heavy we both ordered and it would have been enjoyed if it had not been served lukewarm instead of piping hot. The Tiramasu was just ok nothing special.My biggest complaint was that when I made my open table reservation I put down birthday celebration. I didn’t expect anything but a Happy Birthday to my husband. No excuse for ignoring the special occasion.

10/10. No notes. Authentic flavors and pasta is perfectly cooked al dente. The best lasagna I have had in my entire life. The lobster ravioli was actually STUFFED with lobster (no cheap fillings). Cheesecake was immaculate. We also had the spinach artichoke dip which was thick and delicious. First restaurant in Columbus to meet my high foodie standards since moving here in 10 months ago. Booked the res months in advance and so worth it. Thank you.

We have been there 2 times and by far our favorite restaurant of all. Love the atmosphere because it is like you are in Italy. The owner and all the staff are so kind and helpful. Great service. Let’s talk about the food….amazing.

Cute ambiance. Quick service. All our dishes were tasty. Marinara sauce is slightly tangy. Garlic bread comes with meals.

Great food. Don’t miss out. Trust me, you really want to eat here. I’m a pretty harsh critic and I LOVED it. Will be back soon. If carbs didn’t make people fat, I would eat here at least once a week.

It’s this cute little restaurant. I wasn’t expecting much but wow, this place is a gem! The food was to die for, the service was great, everyone was so friendly. If I didn’t live so far, I would be back!

Our favorite Italian restaurant! Fantastic food at a reasonable price. Favorites are the chicken Marsala, lasagna, Sicilian onion soup, spaghetti and meatballs and the carrot cake! When we can’t get a reservation we do carry-out. The staff is top notch as is the service! Highly recommend!
