38 Best Italian Restaurants near Groveport

“I always enjoy Little Italy, the food is always good and decently priced.
I am only giving 4 stars because I went with my whole family. 9 people. And my older mother in law paid the bill.
Mom realized the next morning that the bill she paid was not even ours! She paid like $160 plus a tip that was over $30. Turns out our actual bill was only $110 and so our tip would have been significantly less as well.
It took several calls and a few days wait but a manager DID refund the difference. But overall I'm disappointed that could've even happened. The orders weren't even similar.“

“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.“

“We booked a pizza truck for my son’s graduation party, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made! The food was absolutely amazing—everyone raved about the assortment of pizzas, and the meatballs and sausages with onions were a huge hit. The salad was fresh and a perfect complement to the rest of the meal. What really made the experience special was the service. The owner and his son were incredibly friendly and worked non-stop to make sure everyone was fed and happy. The pizza just kept coming, hot and delicious, and you could tell they really cared about making my event memorable. We got so many compliments from our guests. I can’t recommend them enough.“

“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!“

“Easily the most personable experience I’ve had with their customer service. Food was even better & restaurant environment was superb! Will definitely be back often & will tell my family and friends about this restaurant & their excellent & kind customer service!“

“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.“

“Classic Italian Restaurant that has been around for decades.“

“been going here my whole life. owners are fantastic, staff and service is great. would recommend any item on the menu.“

“Last year you showed up and showed out for my cousins wedding reception Hunter and tonight again for another cousins retirement dinner! Thank you“

“We were very impressed. Their Gluten free options were amazingly delicious, they took it seriously and everything was fresh, seasoned to perfection, and we will be going back. The portions were large, the presentation was immaculate, the wine and cocktail list was the stuff of dreams and legends. The restaurant was cozy and comfortable in a sexy Italian style. It could have come to life off the page of Conde Nast Traveler. Hidden jewel of Ohio worthy of the drive. The staff was professional and very welcoming. We loved it!“

“This place was amazing! I'm surprised it wasn't Packed! The food was flavourful and the portions were exceptional. When adding a protein I was honestly shocked and for the amount of food and how good it was the price wasn't bad AT All! The gentleman that took our order was so friendly and nice! It was clean and the Italian soda and teas were delicious and didn't taste overloaded with sugar or artificial like most places! My toddler LoVeD it there. If we didn't live two and a half hours away we would be eating there OFTEN. Loved it Thank you!“

“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!!!“

“As chains go this one, in particular this location always hits it out of the park. Where a lot of chain quality has went down for the rise in prices Olive Garden hasn't. This is even more true when you talk about the curbside service. My wife is disabled so most of our experiences are with that. This is one of the few places where the service is the same inside or out. As well as the food being the same quality and quantity. Minus the breadsticks. It does suck you only get 2 per entree where inside it is unlimited.“

“I love Fazoli's, I think of it like the fast food version of the Olive Garden. The carbonara is really good., switch out for penne. I didn't think I liked cheesecake until I ate the triple chocolate cheesecake. I'm sort of craving it now.“

“Prime Rib Wednesday's !!! The Last Wednesday of the month is a Smoked Prime Rib Outstanding . The Owner will even take time to ensure that the meal is Perfect for your Taste !!! Eric Keep the Family tradition place ALIVE !“

“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!“

“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!“

“I’ve been going to Rubino‘s for about 40 years. The pizzas is great. I love the thin crust and how the store hasn’t changed a bit. Looks just like it did in the 80s.“

“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!“

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

“they been around for a very long time and there a family owned community pizza shop.“

“Great pizza and wings! Highly recommend!“

“We ordered takeout. Overall the pizza and cheese bread were pretty good. We enjoyed the fluffier pizza crust. When going in to pick up our order the restaurant looked clean and well kept. It wasn't overly busy which was also nice. We will go again.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

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

“I had been looking for a great pizza place since moving back to Ohio 11 years ago. I had settled on Marcos because when they 1st opened, it was wonderful. I guess they’ve become complacent, or they have so much turnover, that they can’t provide good service anymore. I don’t know what has happened to this place. I have stopped patronizing the restaurant because of messed up orders, pizza boxes stuck to the toppings, and just a general lack of attention to detail. The app is way too unreliable, and you miss out on half of your rewards. When I did order, it was always for delivery. I’m my wife’s caregiver, and we don’t go out much anymore.“

“The best place to go for sports and good wings and pizza. The greatest service“

“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.“

“This isn't my favorite style of pie (I'm a Columbus style lover for sure). However, when I get a craving for Detroit style, Jets is absolutely my choice when I get that desire. My pizza was well cooked with just the right crisp and thickness. I also ordered marinara sauce to dip my crust and I was so pleased. I heated my leftovers in the microwave, don't judge, and it was still surprisingly tasty. Yum.“
