49 Best Italian Restaurants near Grove City

“We love the spaghetti & breadsticks.🍝 We do miss the caesar salads though.“

“I have never had a piada before and WOWWW IVE BEEN MISSING OUT. I am so happy to have discovered this place. I walked in and it was clean and full of customers. The menu board was easy to follow but after reading reviews I was already set on the BLT piada with hot chicken. I was helped my Kaylee who recommended I add a little pasta to the piada and she knew EXACTLY what the belly in my brain wanted. I added the hot chicken and it was love at first bite. It was surprisingly heavy but not too heavy on the belly. The only thing that disappoints me is knowing I need to return to Ashtabula where we dont have this available. I hope they open a location farther north because they would absolutely kill it. The staff was friendly and that's always a plus. If youre craving something flavorful with a bit of fresh veggies give this place a try (emphasis on FLAVOR). I'm so happy I skipped out on the chipotle and tried something new. I've only got 5 days in town and I'll be back at least one more time. Thank you again Kaylee & piada for the tasty experience and the kindness you shared.“

“dinner turned out really good tonight- was craving for zuppa tuscana and tonight it really hit the spot- soup was made really good today compared to the other times i’ve been- perfect for the rainy weather too- gave the never ending pasta a try it did not disappoint and shoutout to Amanda our server- she really took care of us - thank you again- makes me wanna come back to this type of service - cant wait for my next bowl of zuppa tuscana :)“

“best pizza ever i wish they would bring me 2 large pep and cheese and one with banana peppers and mushrooms 234 school st williamsport ohio 20 dollar tip“

“We love Cimi's. Unfortunately, our out-of-town friend/guest ingested gluten and is quite sick tonight. She will be down a couple days. I called Cimi's and reported it. Emphasized the need to be conscientious about the request for gf. Our server was wonderful so dont know where miscommunication lied in ordering gf bread. So painful for our friend.“

“It's about the total caring, class, and commitment to restauranteering. Quality is in everything they do. Ishikowa, the Father of the Japanese Quality System, describes it the best, and is apropo: "To practice quality control is to develop, design, produce, and service a quality product that is most economical, most useful, and always satisfactory to the consumer." Basi Italia has elevated restauranteering to a high art.“

“Thank you Caitlyn & Jade for a great experience and service, positive energy and cozy atmosphere) The food was delicious and fresh 10 from 10. Cocktails ? was nice and good balance ?I love Italian food and it was the best carbonara I ever had! Kind people, beautiful design and great hospitality. Highly recommend ??“

“Fine Italian dining, with an excellent, reasonably priced menu and gracious owners, Rick and Jackie. They have been a consistently high quality venue in Grandview Heights for 22 years!“

“They have the most amazing gluten free Italian! Definitely will be back!“

“The restaurant was clean and had a nice family atmosphere. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. The blackened chicken was delicious. The Gelato was equally delicious. I tested a few different flavors of gelato, then settled on the Lemon Cake and Mora. We will definitely visit again!“

“This is my newest fav spot in Columbus. We first went for my bday with our two little kids. We were nervous at first bringing them, but felt welcome and they ADORED their dishes. It was, until Speck graciously brought my a mini ice cream cone for my bday when all hell broke loose ? we were SO close! My husband and I knew we wanted to come back....solo, for a date. We made it happen quickly and I again basked in the culinary experience. Servers are attentive, the ambiance is moody yet delightful, feeling as if you walked into a NY spot. We sat at the chef's counter, which was cool to watch the action.
Twice I for the Fungi Pasta Dish... I would eat it every night if I could. The server recommended a Pinot Noir to pair with it and oh my gosh, he was right. Those little moments is what sets restaurants a part. His knowledge for the dish, even though he said he didn't like mushrooms but knew the two paired together brilliantly was like YES!! THIS IS AMAZING!
Oh, the tuna Crudo dish??? I had to stop myself from being awkward and moaning out loud. I will be dreaming of that dish and counting till the next time we go again.
Well done! We are foodies and it's been awhile since a place has really WOW'd us and I'm so so happy to have Speck in Cbus!“

“Between the 5 of us we tried four different dishes and all were excellent (arrabbiata, chicken parm, ravioli and veal piccata). The tiramisu is likewise delicious. It was quite loud even at 8:45 pm (admittedly on a Friday), but the food was well worth it!“

“The ambiance and food were second only to our fabulous server, Amy. I entertained a group of 8 clients and could not have asked for a better dining experience. We had a reservation for 5 and at the minute asked if we could change it to 9 and the Maitre Dee accommodated us with grace and professionalism. You must go to Martini Modern - they do not disappoint!“

“We did the 4-course meal and everything we were served was delicious. Our server was great. We will definitely be back.“

“Best sandwiches in Columbus! Massive sandwiches! Fresh quality ingredients, light fluffy tender focaccia, creamy cheese and savory pesto, cut with salty imported Italian meats. Definitely worth a visit.

Vibe is solid fresh Italian quality foods at a cafe.

Fyi parking is not great, recommend parking 1-2 blocks away.“

“We were just in here (leaving the lot as I type this) and I have to applaud the crew tonight. The food was hot and fresh with great taste. I also want to give a standing ovation to Emily who was running front cash and handled one of the most rude individuals I have ever encountered in food service. He was belittling, demanding, and arrogant from the start and she never once stopped smiling or offering him the best service.“

“Fantastic food and service. Top notch - if your in Columbus this restaurant is a must.“

“Ciao! Catered our wedding of 110 guests, making a huge feat look simple. Our guests were served just as fast as any buffet style catering would have got their meals. The food was fantastic and the beautiful Ciao! truck gave the wedding the relaxed yet elegant vibe we were looking for.We served their standard menu but put the Alfredo and Parm on pasta verses a sandwich. We also had salads and bread to go with. All meals had good praises but it was the arancini that stole the show ??The crew put so much into our event and we are beyond thankful. For the rest of the night everyone raved on how good and unique the dinner was!! Highly recommend for any event or for a fun night out when they are around town. Thank you Ciao! team!!“

“Best Location Piada Location! Friendly Workers. Food always cooked Fresh!“

“Wow! On an overnight school bus trip from Centerville, Ohio, pizza and cheese curds were AWESOME!“

“We ordered a meat lasagna and a make it yourself pizza and picked it up yesterday. Guys. Lemme tell ya. You can just tell it’s made with love. The pasta sauce is so fresh, it’s literally the best ricotta I’ve ever had, nice and cheesy all around and even the garlic butter and loaves of bread you get it really good! Haven’t done the pizza yet but I expect no less! Thanks so much!!!“

“The ONLY place to get pizza from. Nicest guys in the world and piled on toppings! Professional, polite and LOCAL! Thanks a lot!“

“service was excellent and food was good“

“MOUTHWATERING. HOMEMADE AND AUTHENTIC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“This is my go-to for take out food. I love the Piadas and the fun drinks. The app is really nice, too. There’s a person who works the window in the evenings who is so kind. I appreciate that even though I’m picking up via a window that they are kind

I’ve ordered Piada for catering before and was impressed how much they cared about making sure I had safe gluten free options“

“We had a table for 10. Food came out all at the same time. Everything was delicious. Wait staff checked in on us frequently and we were never without for more than a minute.

Kid-friendliness: They had a kids menu with crayons, lidded cup for my kid and an iPad type thing on the table with free games for kids which let us talk while he played a matching game.“

“Last night was our first time at Tony’s and I will absolutely be back! The service there was so accommodating and friendly. Tony himself was our host! The man even helped someone with wheelchair needs by storing the chair and bringing it back out when they needed it and was so kind. Our waitress was so friendly and outgoing and was so accommodating when my husband needed plain noodles with no sauce for his marsala. Speaking of food we ordered the chicken Marsala and Tony’s Own Fettuccine and oh my god they were both mouthwatering. They both came with salad and my husband switched to a Cesar salad instead for an upcharge and it was soooo good. I loved the uniqueness to the house salad with the two garbanzo beans, one pasta salad noodle, olives, tomato and blue cheese. It was soooo good especially for someone who loves blue cheese. The Cesar salad was also so good. We also ordered an appetizer of the bruschetta and it had to be one of the best orders of bruschetta I’ve had in a long long time. The bread they used complimented the ingredients so well and really brought the flavors together. Tony’s own fettuccine is now hands down my favorite pasta I’ve ever had to date. The cream sauce was so so good and the crab used was melt in your mouth amazing along with the shrimp and scallops. The chicken marsala was incredible and the sauce was so savory and perfect. My husband and I will definitely be back soon!! If you haven’t tried Tony’s yet please do!“

“This place really does have delicious food. Even the shrimp we ordered were perfectly cooked. We hadn't ordered from there before, but I'm glad we finally did. Highly recommended. Edit: Order from there and pick it up. Don't order it through a service if you can help it.“

“Someone recently mentioned this place in a pizza group on FB. I decided to try it today & I'm glad I did. Probably the best non-deep dish pizza in Columbus. The prices were good as well. There's also plenty of nearby parking.“

“Our waitress Kendra was amazing! The food and drinks were fabulous! Our extremely picky child said they have the best pizza she’s ever had. We had to order an entire pizza to go! Thanks for a great time! We will absolutely be back!“

“The salad was big enough for 4 adults to share & was delicious! We had pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, onion pizza and it was AMAZING !“

“The food is great - we’ve tried most of their pizzas and the antipasti salad is to die for. Unfortunately I can’t speak as highly about the staff. On several occasions, usually on Sundays when they close at 7, I’ve gotten my food close to 7 but NEVER after 7. I’ve placed orders for pick-up at 6:45 and if I wasn’t there at 6:45 on the dot I’ve been called being harassed to get my food because they close at 7. Today I went in at 6:50 and they had already put everything away, taken out the trash, and sanitized everything and gave me lip about wanting to place my order (1 pizza and 1 salad). They proceeded to loudly complain to each other while making my order. Closing at 7 means you stop taking customers at 7 - not that staff gets to walk out the door and lock it behind them at 7.“

“Tyler served our large group of 14 ladies tonight extremely well! He was polite, kind, and very thorough. He did an amazing job and I would highly recommend Buca, its food, and Tyler to serve you!“

“Had a delicious dinner. Service was prompt and extremely friendly!! All of the food was fantastic!“

“I have only had good experiences at Figlio! I am gluten free (sensitive) and have not had any issues. The workers are very nice and knowledgeable!

Dietary restrictions: Seperate gluten-free menu and the workers can answer questions.

Kid-friendliness: Crayons are provided upon request.“

“We did the 4-course meal and everything we were served was delicious. Our server was great. We will definitely be back.“

“We had a great experience at the Wine Bistro. There were four in our group and they put us at a round table a bit out of the way of the other tables, which really helped with the noise level. Our server was so pleasant and helpful. Our group shared crab cakes, the antipasto platter, a delicious meatball, and each enjoyed a winery salad. All the food was delicious, well prepared, and came in a timely manner. We've eaten here several times and are always impressed. It's one of our favorite Columbus restaurants to go with friends or for a date night.“

“Hands down my favorite Pizza shop. Family members from out of town always request a pizza from Mama Mimi's when visiting. Tiffany is always wonderful and very helpful with ordering. I've never had a pizza from here I didn't like, but my favorites are the Rajun Cajun and the Marmelletta Amore. The Lasagna is also amazing.“

“Food is always tasty and enjoyable! We ❤️ the Make It Good Fish Sanswich 😉“

“Great food, always hot and cooked properly. The subs always have a nice crispiness to the outer bun and their barbecue chicken pizza are delicious.“

“Calzone DeFUKINlicious! 😋“

“Excellent food, excellent and attentive service, moving to the head of our list of favorite restaurants in town.“

“Culinary Classics was THE BEST wedding food I have ever had!!! We went with heavy appetizers and a carving and pasta station and everything was fantastic. The guests raved about all of the food served! Carolyn was outstanding and the service was impeccable!!! I highly recommend using them to cater your event, you will not be disappointed!!!!“

“pizza is very good service is great“

“I am a delivery driver for door dash. King’s pizza is my absolute favorite place to pick up food and deliver from! The guys that work there are always fast and pleasant. They always ask how I’m doing and tell me to have a good night and be safe. No matter how busy they are they always take time to Say hello and make sure everything is taken care of! They treat their door dash drivers better than any of the hundreds of restaurants I’ve been to!!! Kudos to them 💞“

“For gas station pizza I would put this at the top of the mountain. I really enjoy their cheese and thier overall taste. The attendant inside this particular location did not seem very enthusiastic about her job and seemed rather irritated That she had to be a pizza Queen. The breadsticks were slightly burnt but tasted good had they been cooked right? They probably would've been amazing. I would recommend.“

“Always loved eating DiCarlo's pizza in Wheeling, WV. Saw this DiCarlo's and had to have some and see if it was just as delicious, and as I thought, it was so good. Every bite was crunchy, with that taste of fresh cheese all over the warm sauce. While there I read that the pepperoni comes from Columbus. Definitely recommended stopping in for some on your lunch hour or take a cold pizza to bake at home.“

“We ordered two pizzas late at night. It took an hour for the food to get to us, but that could be because we ordered delivery through a third party. We got two large pepperoni pizzas, and though it was a little pricey, the slices were decent size and it was DELICIOUS. Soft crust, gooey cheese, and complimentary garlic sauce. I will definitely order from here again when we're back in the city. ❤️“
