50 Best Italian Restaurants near Grove City

“Great food, good price. The kids love it“

“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.“

“I can’t believe I just found this place after living in Columbus for 20 years. What a gem???!! The food, service and atmosphere could not have been better. The outdoor patio had a fun little bar and heaters to make it very comfortable on an autumn night. Our server was the cutest nicest thing ever. Loved her. She gave us samples of so many things that the experiment became a truly enjoyable exploration. I will definitely be showing off this classy gem to friend and visiting relatives in the future. Go Basi!!! ????“

“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 ??“

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

“Best italian food I’ve had in the states- if we lived in town this would be my new go-to! Visited for anniversary dinner and everything was perfect- food, service and atmosphere“

“I have been to Marcella’s many times and ordered food on door dash. I love their food and atmosphere. Today I did door dash because I got devastating news about my cat and I wanted comfort food and to not leave the house. Jenna was beyond sweet and let me make a few changes to my favorite dish’s- Penne Alla Vodka- and to make it a custom way. She went above and beyond and that is just unheard of these days! Not only is their food amazing— their customer care is also top notch. Thank you Jenna for making a really hard day better, I will not forget your kindness. ?“

“Went for happy hour and very much enjoyed my drinks and food! After my margarita, I ordered the Beef Carpaccio and Pennette alla Vodka and was more than impressed with both. The noodles were fresh and the sauce was genuinely delicious. My drink was strong but tasty and our server was great!

Parking: The best bet in terms of parking is either of the garages around that intersection - there's one on Vine St. and one on Goodale Blvd across from the convention center. They are both paid garages and average about $10 for three hours. The restaurant also offers valet parking for $15 and there is some but very minimal street parking (paid).

Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is very tight in terms of seating and not the most wheel chair friendly in terms of navigation.“

“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!“

“Amici!!! Qui Si Mangia Bene!!! All the positive reviews are correct! All the negative reviews must be Olive Garden Diners. Fantastic food and service. Italian Maria Victoria was awesome as was the wonderful Emily!!! Well informed team and training!!! Best Cacio e Pepe outside of NYC and LA. I will definitely be back everytime I'm in Columbus! Grazie a tutti! A presto!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Great service and food. Came at the wrong time for one of their deals but they still helped me through it patiently. Ordered the calamari and it came fresh prepared and with a generous portion (picture only shows about half the calamari). Overall the food was great and the service was amazing, thank you very much! Will definitely come again.“

“Those who think the big chain Italian Restaurants are the only places to go, STOP, and go straight to Tony’s on Beck St. You’ll never want to go chain restaurants ever again!“

“They offer an appetizer or starter salad ? or soup (you can choose) additionally they offer you delicious fresh bread; They have variety on the menu and the portions are large, I found everything delicious and they have excellent service ? 100% recommended.

Parking: The establishment has its own parking lot, it is quite spacious and is in front of the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Suitable for going with children, they have chairs suitable for children in the place ? and the atmosphere is very calm and familiar for everyone's enjoyment.“

“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.“

“MOUTHWATERING. HOMEMADE AND AUTHENTIC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“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.“

“From the moment we walked into the door and were greeted by Dave, we were treated to a special evening. Starting with a unique and tasty Bourbon Smash, we enjoyed the meatballs, excellent Chicken Marsala, finishing with the best Tiramisu and Limoncello we've ever had (thanks Tim). Everyone treated us as guests in their home, John( Batender), Brenda our server was the most delightful person ever, thank you Tim and Julie for the recommendations and our desserts. 5 Stars all around, we' ll 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“First timers and it was amazing! Our server Preston is so passionate about the food. It was refreshing to have such a memorable experience. Cannot wait to return“

“I order from here alot , just ordered a side salad and Stromboli . Stromboli was awesome as usual however salad was awful . No cheese , maybe two small handfuls of wilted lettuce for what 4.50 , I won’t order a salad again . I was really surprised by the poor quality of the salad.“

“Stopped at Minelli’s after getting into town. Very courteous friendly staff that kept my children’s attention during pickup. Great tasting pizza, Kids loved the cheese pizza and went with my favorite pepperoni and sausage.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Can't beat the pizza for the prize. perfect pizza for parties“

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

“A lovely atmosphere on a street full of boutiques to browse before or after dinner. It feels like an intimate/romantic space and was perfect for a girl's night out. All of the food was absolutely amazing. Drinks were strong and tasty. Definitely would recommend making a reservation in advance since it is pretty small.“

“Excellent!!!!! Wow. Fast service and some of the best pizza and calzone I’ve ever had. Don’t miss this gem if you’re looking for great pizza.“

“Pizza was great I ordered there and waited for it to get done . While I waited I got a scoop of ice cream it was good too but they had some teenagers working on the ice cream side and they took forever talking to their friends at the counter , when the friends left they went to the back for a couple minutes which I couldn't understand being that I was the only other person in there, the girl was friendly but didn't seem to interested with taking my order. But all in all a really good pizza.“

“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.“

“Always great food, wine and service. We tried one of the newer wines they are carrying from Macedonia. We had have others before and enjoyed them. This one was no exception. We sat outside on a cool September day and just enjoyed ourselves.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“pizza is very good service is great“
