50 Best Italian Restaurants near Hilliard

“Service was great and the food was great too! We had the ravioli meatball special..salads were very good and the bread and oil is wonderful. Many places are starting to charge for bread still free at carrabbas, much appreciated! We go to this restaurant fairly often and sometimes they dont rate a 5 but this time everything was great! Great job!!“

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

“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.“

“I ordered the Vindicator pizza. The best pizza I've ever had! No joke.“

“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!! ❤️ ❤️“

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

“What a cUUUUuUuUUUuUuUuuuuute littel deli!

I placed a phone order for pickup here on a whim. My fiance wasn't feeling well and wanted some food brought home after work. Not knowing the area I did a quick Yelp search and VOILA! Prices were super fair and the establishment wasn't too far away from my way home, so I went ahead and gave them a call.

The outside isn't anything special looking, kinda drab but not unkept. I was SUPER impressed once I walked in. The place is bigger on the inside that it looks from the outside, looks well organized and clean! I also LOVE the wall murals! SOooOoOoOo cute! It looks like a traditional NY family style deli on the inside! SO cute!

I ordered a ruben sandwich and two sides of macaroni salad. Fiance devoured the sandwich so I assume it was a hit. :P The macaroni salad was SO affordable I couldn't pass it up! Could have used a bit more mayo but not a biggie. I added some and it was right to my preference!

Wasn't busy at all on the inside, did have a few ppl stopping in to pick up, like myself. The wait wasn't long once I arrived and then I was onnn my wayyyy!

DEFFFFFFFFFFinitely will be ordering from here again! :P

Parking: very small little couple spot parking up front“

“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“

“Me and my wife came here for lunch on Sunday 3/31. This was literally the best Italian food we ever had. Highly recommend!!“

“This was my first visit to Nicola. I think there are quite a few excellent classic Italian restaurants in Columbus. I felt I was getting nickel and dimed. I feel paying for bread is a little much in an Italian restaurant in Columbus. The food was good, but the menu is a little limited. Our service was good and because we needed five checks an additional charge was supposed to be added to our bill. Our waiter said he didn't do that which I felt was very nice. I guess you might say everything was good, but certainly not at the level I read about in the reviews.“

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

“Have been in there several times over the years when visiting my granddaughter.“

“Nice waiter, great food, and the meatballs are delicious!“

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

“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.“

“This location goes over and above! Thanks you especially to Luis.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Was delighted to find a olive garden that is still doing it the right way. Bread sticks weren't overcooked like most now. Salad did have a bit much dressing but can happen to anybody at any point. Chicken n gnocchi was perfectly seasoned and balanced flavor. Fried mozz was also very fresh with fresh oil. Service was great and appreciate everything. The olive garden experience you use to get and still want. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.“

“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.“

“Well as my hunt for good pizza in columbus continues, we have laconos pizza up next. We ordered a couple pies for take out, and they were ready in 30 minutes which was super fast. Everyone in my house really enjoyed the thin, airy, crispy crust. The sauce tasted really good as well. This place is up there for my pizza joints. Looking forward to trying it again and seeing if they are consistent! Thanks for the food guys!“

“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.“

“We got carryout from Gallo’s on High last weekend and were SO happy with our meals. We split an appetizer that was on special that was flavorful and unique, my husband got the scallops and risotto - it was a generous size and delicious, and I got the black and bleu salad special, very good as well. Can’t wait until we’re ready to eat at restaurants again, this will be our first stop (my husband picked up our food and said the dining room was beautiful, everyone very nice, and had a great atmosphere). In the meantime, we’re getting carryout again this weekend...can’t wait to try the French Onion. Such a great addition to Clintonville!“

“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.“

“Great dinner tonight. Food was very good and our wait staff was friendly and engaging.“

“We ordered 4 cornered Veggies pizza in the store. We hardly wait for 15 mins before getting delicious pizza in hand. Service was prompt and we got all the information we asked from friendly person at the counter. Pizza was too good! We tried first time and we will definitely try it again.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“Went to hilliard location all my life and lived behind it in my childhood home. Always a nostalgic thing for me but went and got it from the Kenny road location on my 30th birthday and it was absolutely amazing. If I lived closer I'd get it every day and be fat as hell ? ? ?“
