48 Best Italian Restaurants near Hilliard

“We had never been there before and I was pretty happy we went. Our server Suzi was great and the young man who helped bring out the food - I watched him throughout the visit and he worked his butt off. The bread was to die for and the lasagna was very good - could have actually used another noodle or two. My friend got a dish with fettuccine with garlic cream sauce and steak on top. She said it was just as good as it looked. Mom said the chicken Parm was very good also - the chicken was very tender. Even the side salad was good. The only downside was it took a while to get our checks and finish the transaction. Overall, we were all very pleased. Will definitely go again!“

“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.“

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

“Great pizza! The sausage sub was also delicious. Highly recommend!“

“You know how when you’re sick and you don’t eat for a week. Wheh you start feeling better, you want those comfort foods. Nothing healthy. Straight up, COMFORT. FOOD. Well. That’s all I wanted. After being bed ridden for days, my appetite returned and all I wanted was pizza and garlic cream cheese from Cottage Inn. Got a salad, too, because it’s all about balance. Our food arrived and… no garlic cream cheese. Just my salad and dressing in a bag all by itself. I’m devastated. I pout. I call, hoping that maybe my precious garlic cream cheese fell out in the drivers car. The wonderful gentleman on the phone remembered my order, and ended up sending the driver back to drop off my precious cream cheese. Normally, I’d just say “eh, whatever”. But when you’re sick, and you’ve craving something and you’re let down.. only to have some glorious person come in and save your day! Well, folks, that’s a story for the times. Thank you to my Cottage Inn Heroes, who saved this sickly, dramatic woman's day with garlic cream cheese. Which I inhaled in an embarassingly small amount of time.“

“On November 12th my daughters threw a surprise party for my 70th birthday at Vittoria. Being in the Columbus area for only 3 1/2 years, I had not heard of Vittoria. If I had, I would have gone there frequently!! The private room we were in was gorgeous, as well as the little bit I saw in the main dining area. Food was absolutely delicious!! I love a good spaghetti, but theirs was sensational. There were 4 little kids there ...comments from two of them..3 year old girl: "that's the biggest meatball I've ever seen" 10 year old boy: "best chicken fingers I've ever had!" I've never had such great service anywhere I've gone. He was friendly, courteous, on top of everything. We had 22 people there, and I don't think it fazed him a bit. I just loved him!! I just loved this place and my hub and I will be back soon!! ❤️ ❤️“

“Delicious and affordable, with super friendly staff!“

“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!“

“I’ve been going here for years! I even had my birthday dinner here this year. I would highly recommend Moretti’s!“

“Wedding Soup Saved Christmas. After a 3 year old sneezed right in my face 14 times during the CFP game, I felt that familiar tickle in my throat just 2 days before Christmas! We had 3 family functions, church, people staying with us, and cookies, candy and Chex-Mix to make! I ordered 2 quarts of the Italian Wedding soup on Christmas Eve, Eve and when I say I was miraculously healed, I mean it. I’ve managed to sneak in a bowl each day between the ham and cookies and I can confidently say “what cold?”. It was a Christmas miracle!! Thanks, Villa Nova!“

“My husband & I had the privilege of dining at Z Cucina in Dublin on Valentine’s Day. The concierge’s at the front were wonderful, and our most pleasant experience was not only they food, but our wonderful waiter, Benjamin. He is such a great host at one’s table, but has an expert knowledge of the menu. I will request him again!“

“Tables are in need of wipe down, floors are in need of sweeping but, Lobster bisque is delightful but can't see lobster chunks but it's in there.“

“We went there today { 2/14 ) As always great service. I have a fatal Dairy Allergy. So I always order Cherfs choice. I had the red Snapper. THE BEST FISH I HAVE EVER HAD. I even ate the skin ( which I never do ) Atmosphere as always was great even on a busy night!!!!!. Don't think about it, JUST GO“

“We loved it! Great food. Our service was amazing. Our waiter was Russell. He made sure we had a great experience.“

“I buy pasta, sauce, coffee & desserts here and I’m never disappointed. My SIL is NJ Italian & a tough critic so I’m only going to serve him the best I can find. I recently tried PD’s gelato and I’m going to be eating this all summer. You can really taste the difference between grocery gelatos and the real thing.“

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

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

“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!!“

“The food is very good, but you're paying a price for the prime Dublin location and atmosphere. Service was fine, no issues at all there. Lively atmosphere even for a weeknight. I'd recommend a reservation. Free garages and street parking all around.“

“Celebrated 20 days before my son and future daughter in law take the plunge everything was fantastic !“

“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“

“I had ordered online delivery and the order was from this location. Everything came in our order but my create your own pasta had the wrong sauce put on it which I was not able to eat. I had called the restaurant and was told to hold for the manager. Alexander came to the phone very quickly and listened to what was going on. He apologized and I had asked to just be refunded for my pasta and still charged for the rest of my order since everything else was correct. He was able to instead give me a gift card to cover my create your own pasta. He said it could take around 30mins for the gift card to show in my email. He apologized again and we ended the call. A few minutes later he gave me a call back to let me know about an issue he was running into with getting the gift card to send and gave me another time frame. I received the gift card around an hour and an half later and found that he gave me more than what my pasta had cost. Very polite and communicated well! Side note… I have not had a great week and this customer service was excellent!“

“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.“

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

“I recently went to Iacano's for a lunch buffet and dinner. I arrived at 11:30 when they had the buffet. They brought out pepperoni and sausage pizza and pineapple and ham pizza primarily. I think they may have had pepperoni and a cheese pizza. The advantage of the buffet is that you can eat all you want and the soft drink is included in the price. It seemed very slow about how many pizzas were coming out. I had to wait for the pizzas to come out for about four or five minutes. I prefer a buffet that has several pizzas to choose from. Then again, some people ordered subs and had to wait for the order to come out.

The place can seat around 80 people (I am guessing). There were about thirty people there during lunch. I was with a group of eight people. The place is a little cool, so dress warmly. I was good with a shirt, sweatshirt, and sweatpants on. It was also during winter I stopped by.

After eating, I used the restroom. It had less heat than the restaurant. It was clean but not glamorous. The cost of the meal was below $20.00.

The second time I visited was on Monday at 7 pm for dinner. I was with five people and wanted to try the meatball and sausage subs and their meat lovers' pizza. The meatball and sausage subs were comparable. I'd give a little more to the meatball sub. The pizza was what I would expect from a meat lovers pizza. The crust was cooked enough that the slices, which were smaller rectangles, were solid and did not flop around. I like my crust more cooked.

I believe the place is good for families and parties of up to twenty people, but the number of people who can sit at one table would be eight. In both experiences, I could hear everyone talking at the table, so the noise level was an acceptable problem because the food was delicious.

They do have a wide variety of Italian dishes.“

“Our car rally club showed up on a Saturday evening with 13 ppl. Even though the staff was short a couple ppl they were very accommodating. Our food was fresh, hot, and delicious! The staff was amazing! Please give them some love and stop by!“

“My Precious Sissy, Wanda and her husband, Mark Sr. told me that I have to go eat there! The service, food and atmosphere is Wonderful!🥰👍🏼👨🏼‍🍳🍽️🎉🥮🥳❤️“

“We love Monte Carlo Italian Kitchen! Food is always fabulous and the service is fantastic!! Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“I met a friend here for dinner on a Monday night. We shared the stuffed peppers and lemon cream cake. It was more than enough for us to split. The prices seemed fair to me and our server was very warm and hospitable. The interior is casual and the noise level was moderate. I found it homey and pleasant. I would be glad to go back and try some of their other foods.“

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

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

“New Year’s Day was my first time ordering from Jet’s and I want to compliment them in every way. There was a miscommunication with my order that I was unaware of until it was delivered. Turned out my delivery was done by the manager who apologized for the miscommunication and then said he’d be back shortly with the remainder of my order. He didn’t need to do that but he did and it left a very positive impression with me. He really cared about his customers and their experience. Thank you so much! And, extra bonus was that the pizzas were GREAT. I’ll be ordering again. Thanks for great pizza and kind/caring staff at Jet’s Hard Road.“

“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 tasted amazing, atmosphere was great, server was attentive, and prices were competitive. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by this new restaurant and try it out!

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten free options available

Wheelchair accessibility: Wide open floor plan. Very accessible“

“Been to this shop multiple times and I swear it gets better every time! The woman that is usually there is so kind and has amazing recommendations for pairing of the pastas and sauces and which deserts go best! Highly advise anyone tired of chain restaurants to grab something for dinner-you will not be disappointed!!!“
