50 Best Italian Restaurants near Hilliard

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

“Good food and friendly staff 👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“Can’t say enough good things about our first visit to this wonderful place. What a gem ! Atmosphere is stylish, warm and friendly. Service was experienced and very nice. House wine perfect. Complimentary fresh focaccia bread scrumptious. Salad was excellent. Chicken Parmesan outstanding. Tiramisu was so worth the calories. Can’t wait to get back there asap! Compliments to the chefs working hard in the kitchen.“

“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!! ❤️ ❤️“

“We had a delightful lunch today at Gallo's, from the moment entering, we were greeted by a Fine Gentleman that discussed our seating options ( Yeah, I'm a bit picky) to the time we departed with full bellies that was topped off with the Belgium Chocolate Mussee cake that was Outstanding!! Ice cold beverages and our service (Bartender) was Awesome catering to our every whim. This is definitely a MUST stop when looking for a Great place to dine!!“

“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!“

“The food was phenomenal, and our server at the bar, Lindsey, was fantastic. I just wanted to mention one thing that really bothered me. Our power went out - again - in Muirfield, so we decided to go eat dinner at Moretti's. When we walked in, the hostess, who could have been the manager for all I knew, just stared at us as we walked up to the podium to request a table or seating at the bar. She just stared at us! No "hello," "Thanks for coming to Moretti's, can I help you?", nothing. I finally said we'd like to sit at the bar, and she said seating at the bar is self-service. I said thank you, and we sat down at the bar and had a fabulous dinner. My question is: With all the places to eat in the Dublin area and beyond, wouldn't you think a hostess would be grateful that you are there and at least try to make you feel welcome? Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but it was a strange encounter.“

“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!“

“Thank you for supporting Dublin Coffman Athletics Track and Field Team. You helped us raise much needed funds ! For any 5013c organizations wanting to do a restaurant night I highly recommend Piada Italian Street Food“

“Today was a first, of many visits to come! Everything we had was superb, & Devon was a great server too! 😄“

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

“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!“

“Ciao Cafe Gelato was the perfect addition to our wedding reception! The gelato was absolutely delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. Many even commented on how friendly and welcoming the owner was. Communication throughout the process was seamless — the owner was incredibly responsive, reliable, and easy to work with. We’re so glad we included them in our big day!“

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

“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 love The Little Grand, and today I tried Frascati Market for the first time. Absolutely fantastic. I got the Chicken Milanese sandwich, and their Truffle Potatoes. The sandwich...so, so good. Every part was fresh and cooked perfectly. The focaccia bread was yummy and just right. The breading on the chicken was perfectly crispy and flavorful. 10 out of 10. THE POTATOES. You would think that something as simple as smashed fingerling potatoes would be an easy slam dunk, but many places get them wrong. The potatoes at Frascati are AMAZING. Seriously. My wife is not a potato person, and she was nibbling them like, YUM. Really, really flavorful, cooked well. Did I mention the staff are lovely? 100% recommend.“

“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“

“Had a very nice experience there for a Sunday afternoon dinner. Espresso Martini and Bridgepark Manhattan were nicely done. Server was a pleasant person with quite a nice table side manner. My wife had the Tagliatelle pasta with veal and mushrooms. She said the veal was extremely tender. I had the lasagna. Large portion and very tasty. perhaps a little sauce on the side would be nice. We met the manager there and he was very accommodating. He is a long time Cameron exec and we can see why. Just the person you want to have overseeing your service. Recommend you go for lunch or early dinner. Reservations strongly suggested.“

“This is gotta be hands down. The best pizza and salad in Columbus period“

“We had a very nice time and a great waiter who treated us so nicely even though we ordered from their starters menu and not a full meal. He showed us how to use the electronic payment system and provided us with take home containers. Our server made the visit special!“

“Great as always! Our server Annabelle was outstanding. We got the endless pasta but after breadsticks, salad and calamarie we barely finished one bowl lol. I love this olive garden. It doesnt matter which one i step into its the same great experience.“

“MOUTHWATERING. HOMEMADE AND AUTHENTIC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“This was my first time coming to this restaurant. I must say it was actually good! I would definitely come back. Food was a 10/10. I ordered the Carbonara Pasta Bowl with crispy chicken. Delicious 😋 I would definitely recommend this place!“

“Best take n bake pizza shop around! All of their pizzas, salads/homemade dressings, and lasagnas are amazing with so many options and fresh, local ingredients. And they have my favorite tiramisu that I can find. If you've never had Mama Mimi's, it's a must try for sure!“

“This was our first visit to Figlio's in many years. (Was our daughter's favorite place when she was growing up here). We had a very nice evening. The food was as good as we remembered - two different pizzas. Our server was very helpful and attentive. The highlight was when we learned they still have the French Quarter Ice Cream Torte. Not to be missed. Hard for a restaurant to maintain such a consistent level of delivery over time. Congratulations!“

“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 😉“

“Place is great. Pizza was cooked beautifully perfect crust asked for extra well done and was very impressed. Pizza was a little too spicy for my kids and I even tho we opted for the regular pepperoni but it was very good and had oregano on deck. Great beer selection. Service was okay. 7.9/10“

“First time at Gallos today with our lunch group. Great service, excellent white pizza and outstanding fresh Dublin salad. It’s was great to have the ability to buy a single slice of pizza and half salad. Our group will be back.“

“I bought the Valentine box with the super cute mini cakes. What a deal and great gift idea! They are SO delicious! I love the variety you get with the eight cakes. All the cakes are super moist and the icing is not too sweet but just right! They are perfect with our morning coffee. Kudos to Pasta Ditoni's! This was a great idea! I forgot to take a picture before we almost devoured them. This is what's left, but not for long. I would definitely buy these again.“

“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!“

“Had two of the lunch specials and tuscan pesto bread. The salad, slices, and bread we had were all very fresh and are everything you want. Pizza crust and fresh made bread were outstanding. Service was quick and server made good recommendations on the house specialties.Highly recommend your try them.“

“Yummy Hawaiian pizza style I’ll buy more soon“

“Jets Pizza on Hard Rd is hands-down the best pizza spot around! The food is always hot, fresh, and consistent — you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The manager, Ryan, runs the place like a pro. He’s super friendly, keeps the store spotless, and makes sure every order is right. Whether it’s pickup or delivery, I’ve never had a bad experience here. Highly recommend if you’re looking for top-tier service and quality pizza every time.“

“This Pizza Hut location has the BEST customer service. I ordered a Build Your Own pizza the previous night from my local Pizza Hut and the toppings were sparse...totally disappointed. The next day (just to make my pizza-wanting belly satisfied) I ordered the same pizza from the Powell location...this time around was an A++! Not only was my pizza loaded with toppings and drizzle, but the crew also gave me 2... As in TWO... Free dipping sauces as well. If your craving pizza, GO TO THIS LOCATION!“

“Wow!! This was such an incredible experience! Hands down, the food and atmosphere were perfect. The wine shelves and antique decor made for a nice, comfy space. They had wine flights at a reasonable price so you can taste before deciding on a whole bottle. We ordered a variety of items from the menu, including the mushroom bruschetta, sliders, blank + blank (pick 2 lunch), short rib, and bread pudding- ALL delicious!! Even with these other factors, the thing that really topped off our experience was the service. Jessica was the nicest, most efficient server we’ve ever had!! Definitely will be back on our next trip to Columbus!“

“Bambino's hands down has the best subs in West Jefferson and London. If you want a good sub definitely get it from Bambino's.“

“We usually get Donatos because we like the thin crust style. I had no idea Iacanos was right across the street until recently so we decided to give it a try. It's AMAZING. Similar crust style to what we like at Donatos but soooo much better. You can just tell the difference in ingredient quality. Got a salad too and it was only $4 for a pretty big portion and what I think is home-made ranch! 10/10 we will be back!!“
