38 Best Italian Restaurants near Groveport

“My family has ordered from Little Italy since I was a kid, though I haven’t had their food in a long time.I haven’t had their food since their recent transfer to the new building, so I was excited to see that this was the choice for dinner tonight.Looking over the menu that was brought home, it’s obvious that Little Italy has made a big shift from that delightful hole-in-the-wall vibe that I remember.I’m looking forward to checking out more of the menu options.Tonight’s pizzas were delicious. Just right. No complaints!“

“Beautiful, cozy, romantic location. Service was personal, prompt, and our waitress easily explained dishes to us. Food quality and portions are excellent. Food is so fresh, flavors blend in very thoughtful and unique dishes. It started pouring rain while we were enjoying dessert. What a lovely experience, we will be back and highly recommend.“

“Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, and incredible service. Working in hospitality I pay close attention to service and rarely am I blown away, but this was an exception. My S/O and I always decide on a rating at the end of the meal and this was the first 10/10 experience (we are harsh critics lol). I can't wait to come back when the patio opens! Also... do yourself a favor and get the gelato.“

“This place is very nice inside. They have a good gluten free selection. The waiter gave me a whole pitcher of tea, that was nice. The atmosphere was kind of like being in Italy and it was very clean and fancy. They definitely gave great service. It seems like a good place for a date or family time. The prices were not that high either. They made me a gluten free pizza and free GF bread.Dietary restrictions: They have a pretty extensive gluten free menu that is clearly marked on the main menu, a plus for me.“

“We love this place. The pizza is so good. It’s very thin crust, so….it doesn’t go as far as you would think. It’s pretty easy for 2-3 people to eat a large.Parking: The actual parking lot is very small. You can park free in the side streets.“

“Great experience. The food was delicious service was great and price was reasonable. Had the meatball sub just like mom use to make! Their homemade pasta sauce is outstanding. Highly recommend if your looking for a good Italian meal at a good price.“

“Food and service were so great. We were so welcome and weren’t rushed at all.The mocktails were delicious and complex. The burrata was delicious. The sausage ragu pasta was incredibly flavorful (also the portion was generous).The bomboloni dessert was outstanding — orange dark chocolate with hazelnuts!!I would definitely come back here.“

“Sierra was an awesome server. The brushetta had two cheeses that were perfect choices to complement the generous amount of diced tomatoes. The meat lasagna melting in my mouth and was delicately delicious! Triple layer chocolate cake for dessert served with a candle for my birthday presentation was decadent and easily satisfied the three forks in our party, who all had little room left in their stomachs. Well done team Giuseppe!“

“Came here for a family birthday with an infant. We made reservations a week in advance. Everything was delicious! They are busy, but staff was friendly and informative. We had the peasant tortellini with chicken, ravioli special, chicken parm, and veal saltimbocca. We enjoyed their featured wine and cheesecake, gelato, and lemon cake for dessert. We would definitely come back. Considering how delicious and homemade everything is prices were reasonable.Kid-friendliness: We had an infant and used a high chair. The high chair was clean.“

“We had a Xmas party there on Sunday. Let me tell you this is BY FAR the best food I have had in a while. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place for your wedding or get together. I was told they can accommodate parties 10+. They are not a full service restaurant. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, mushroom risotto was flavorful, stuffed manicotti was the best I have tasted and the stuffed chicken was almost over powering with flavor. I wish they were a sit down restaurant. High marks for the chef and staff..“

“First time visiting and we had a great time. We sat at the bar with a few friends and Abbie did amazing job with us. She was very attentive to our group as well as working the full bar and restaurant drink orders. We had beverages, appetizers and dinner. The food was great and all our orders were correct. Look forward to next visit.“

“Awesome & reasonably priced. Reminds me of Cassanos, for my fellow Dayton natives - just without salt on the crust. Nice little char on it if you’re into that sorta thing. Dangerous thing to have so close by ?Vegetarian options: Cheese pizza is available.“

“This was a great experience from start to finish. Alec took care of us and was well informed on the entire menu. My partner and I choose the four course option. Great selection with a wide selection of wine. My favorite dish being the gnocchi, and Bianco Vento Sant Eustachio for our wine selection. We were even greeted by the gm Liz, who made sure our time there was enjoyable.“

“This was my first time at this restaurant and I absolutely loved it. I had the lobster, ravioli and I could have licked the plate.It was so good. It is very small inside so it is an intimate setting and the staff and the chef are all very friendly impersonable. Definitely going back there again“

“Just came to say the customer service here is wonderful. I had a small issue with a charge on my credit card and the owner of the business gave me her personal cell phone number, told me to message her the details, and even replied to my texts when she was on vacation out of the country!!“

“Had dinner at Omezzo. Very homely and excellent food. Lobster ravioli (we took the appetizer version) was amazing! Lobster bisque was good. We also had Trio Omezzo which is a selection of three types of pastas on one plate (better to share as the portion is quite big). Overall delicious!“

“Tony’s is like walking into a family party at your Nonna’s. The lounge has a couch and coffee table up against the bar and you feel like you’re home. The food is old school, solid, comfort Italian. The staff is fantastic. Each one is nicer and more attentive than the next. I’ve eaten here numerous times and the host is a quintessential gentleman. He pulls my chair out and waves my husband to his seat. The home made pastas are great. I have so many favorites that I just keep on coming back. It reminds me of the little restaurants in New York where you can just stay and eat and feel satiated. Delicious!“

“I've reviewed several Dicarlos outside the Valley. Most people from there say Elm Grove and Wellsburg are the gold standard for Dicarlos locations, and I agree.This pizza from the Columbus location is just as good, especially for one outside the Valley. All of them have been good, but Columbus is perfection.It's tough to get parking nearby, so plan for that. But if you love Dicarlos, the Columbus location will satisfy. I live 2 hours away and will go back.“

“I highly recommend Grandma's Pizza on Parsons. The staff is great and friendly. The pizza is delicious and reasonably priced. I usually order between 16-20 large pizzas, and they have always had them fresh and ready to go on time. Yesterday, I called them at 3:45pm and asked them if they could do 20 larges ready for pick-up at 5:45pm and they had it done. They are my go-to place for pizza on the south end of Columbus.“

“The food is amazing! Authentic Italian and my favorite dish is arrabbiata over penne with fresh mozzarella and a Sanpellegrino as my drink! The owner is so kind- I have been eating here since 2010. Love you guys!Kid-friendliness: Absolutely amazing customer service!“

“stopped by the north market to look for something to eat. I saw the pizza and I was somewhat skeptical because the pizza looked cold. I ordered anyway. The workers actually reheated each slice in the oven and It ended up being some of the best pizza I have had. it was hot and cheesy and the crust was very crispy. Sat down and ate it and talked to the lady that owns it and she is very passionate about her business. 10/10 definitely would recommend. Looking forward to eating here again.“

“I love me some Marco's Pizza. The subs are absolutely my favorite. I haven't had a bad pizza from here at all. Marco's provide quick service and my food is always hot and fresh every time. Hands down my one of my favorite spots. You will not be “

“Great Pizza! Hidden gem really. Small town dairy corner with an owner that's gotta have some Italian in him, because his pizza is simply great! Drive past the pizza spots in my hometown to get Lombardi's, I'd recommend you do the same.“

“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!“

“Passing through the area and was craving Italian of which Columbus seemingly has 97 Italian restaurants...Settled on TAT Ristorante due to cozy look and have we have a 10yr old. Wow, so glad we did.This place is a throwback to traditional, Italian Sunday family eating.Calamari- light, tender with a homemade marinara.Wedding soup to die for. Salads in a chilled bowl with the light, crisp and bright vinegarette not to be skipped!I had a seafood lasagna special that l'll have dreams about, the cheeses were all crusty on the edges giving this texture beyond amazing.Aaaaaand we simply couldn't pass on dessert, the tiramisu was traditional comfort but.... The lemon cream cake is a light, airy lemony confection that I'll compare all future desserts to. Service was provided by someone I felt was family by the end of our meal! Lots of locals here, they know what's up. Hope to be back here again if I'm ever in Ohio again....!“

“I've enjoyed your pizza the first time I went. I've been there several times and everytime I have been satisfied. I was glad to find out my new job was close by because I'll be going back again and again. The people that talk about parking.. there is a small parking area off 8th that I use, to go in and grab the pizza then go back to the car“

“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.“

“Got wings and mini-burgers. Both solid. Wing flavors are really good and seem like they're made in-house.Service from Byron was on point. Will definitely be back.Kid-friendliness: Never seen it too rowdy where I'd think there would be a problem. Maybe football games.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entrance, no stairs in the building.“

“We had a great time. The food was good and the staff was great. It's nice to see young people that care about their jobs and how they do it. I can't remember there names but we were there on Tuesday afternoon between 2 and 6 pm.“

“Had the 6" meatball sub. Only had 2 meatballs. Easily room for 3. Not enough cheese. Alot of sauce. Sauce was good, but it's out of balance with the rest. Also had the 7" children's pepperoni pizza. It was good. It's not overcooked like many places. Prices are excellent. No indoor seating. Photo misleading. Children's meals come with a pop and an Otis Spunkmeyer cookie. Stale. Would return for the pizza.“

“Due Amici 9/10! Loved this downtown Italian spot. Great for a nice date night, even better to go earlier and take advantage of their amazing Happy Hour: 1/2 off appetizers, pizzas, wine, and mules! Here's what I got... - Brussels Sprouts: 7.5/10 Delicious but super unique. Goat cheese, alfredo, sweet potato, and bacon all over the brussels sprouts. The combination of all of these made it far from an average veggie dish. ($5 on happy hour!) - Chicken Pesto Pizza: 9/10 The pesto on this is chefs kiss. Would certainly get this again (and for $9 on happy hour menu!). I can't decide if I liked this pizza more than Forno though, tough choice. I only left off a point because the chicken itself could be slightly more flavored. But I came home and finished this pizza, could not resist - Chicken Parm: 9/10 Lovedddd the rosé sauce! Like vodka sauce but turned up. This dish did not disappoint. We got it split in half and it was still a great portion size to take home to enjoy later. Left off one point as the chicken parm, in my opinion, could've been a bit crispier to counteract how the sauce softens the breading. - Kucco, red wine blend: 8/10 Not much to say here, really liked this wine and liked getting 2 glasses for the price of one even more. Safe red blend choice to go with red sauces Overall, definitely check this place out and bonus points if you go 3-6:30pm to catch HH @ocean.sviews on IG for more reviews“

“It's Olive Garden. Is there better or more authentic Italian dining available? Obviously. Is it great for an Italian meal that doesn't break the bank? Yes. Stopped by for lunch. Service was great, food was great, thoroughly enjoyed it.“

“My boyfriend and I absolutely love coming here. We are here probably more than we should be but the food really is that good. It is more of a healthier option for your regular pasta craving. The pepperoni sticks are a great complement to your entree and it has something for the whole family. No doubt we will be back.“

“Ever since I moved to Columbus 10 years ago. I have ordered from Jet's Pizza. I love their salads! The new popcorn chicken salad is AMAZING! Everytime I have ordered from there, everything has always been fresh and very well put together! If anyone is looking for a filling fresh salad, definitely check out their different types of salads, they won't disappoint! I recommend the popcorn chicken salad or the antipasto salad! Mmmm Delicious!“

“Absolutely wonderful! Service was great! Food was AMAZING!! We will definitely be going back and I cannot wait!!Parking: Standard strip-mall type of parking.Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly, although I feel it's more of a quiet night out type of place.Wheelchair accessibility: I would feel comfortable using my chair here any time.“

“KeKe and David are the peak of service. Couldn’t be happier. These super humans payed attention to my lone self whilst kicking butt with a full restaurant. Every night of my stay at the Westin I was stoked to see KeKe (oh my god forgive me for spelling if I’m wrong) and her knowledge of the bar. She is my peak of my stay in Columbus. Okay I had other good stuff but you should meet my friend KeKe!! Best service on this side of the….“

“My wife and I ordered the shrimp Napolili as an appetizer. I ordered a chicken parmeson for dinner. My wife ordered chicken marslalas as well, a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing for late lunchearly/dinner, and then we all ordered Creame Brulee for our deserts. Everything we ordered was delicious! the waiter was very,very nice and did a great job. My daughter ordered shrimp Alfredo. the waiter received a very generous tip for his work as well as being really nice to all of us. He was very attentive to all of our needs and our wants. Overall, we had a great time there.Parking: There is plenty of parking in the parking lot. A few of handicapped parking spaces. After we parked in the wheelchair accessible The path to the sidewalk was very smooth and level, which made it easier for me to get to the sidewalk.Kid-friendliness: Unknown, we did not have any kids this time. However, we had brought our kids here in the past. The menu was kid friendly, and they were very friendly with the kids . The waitress was very good and patient with the kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Very flexible and welcoming, they guided us to a table with 4 chairs and took a chair away from the table to make a room for me to approach the table without any issues.“

“If it weren’t for a server named Anthony, I would be giving a 1 star. The restaurant was very busy and overbooked. It was a Blue Jackets game night. So once we arrived for our 5:30 reservation they told us we wouldn’t get seated until after 6 because the servers are all overwhelmed and can’t handle more tables. Once we finally got seated, which was around 5:50, no one came to our table for over 20 minutes for even a drink order. So we decided to leave because we actually had a show to get to by 7:30 and didn’t have confidence we would get our meal in time. As we were walking out a server from another section stopped us, literally outside and asked us if he could get us seated and order complete if we would stay. He was so nice and we decided to stay. He took our order as we were walking back to our table and it was out within 6 minutes. He gave us a huge dessert for our wait and thank us over and over for staying! He went out of his way to make our night great!! He really turned it around and made it special. Anthony is fantastic and they are truly lucky to have him! A table of 12 next to us walked out as well because the server was no where to be found!“
