“Had a filling and delicious meal! We planned our stops on a trip south and back so we could eat at Fazolis’ since there are none where we live. Wish they would expand north into New York State!“

“Food was great . Had spaghetti with meatballs and short rib ragu all I have to say is wow. David was very nice and had really nice suggestions and was new a lot about the wines we were interested in definitely will be back soon“

“Beautiful atmosphere. Jessica was a super friendly, timely and attentive waiter. Had six totally different dishes and each was hot and delicious. Particularly loved the stromboli w/spicy sausage, seared shrimp in Alfredo, the (light) calamari and delicate gnocchi.“

“My son really wanted Stromboli. Chat GPT put this place as the #1 spot to check out. Our server Cheryl was fantastic. The food was delicious especially the Stromboli. We will absolutely be back to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend.“

“Love this restaurant!! Must try!“

“Best pizza I have ever had“

“This was my first visit to Koble Grill and will not be my last. I plan on returning real soon. Lea was our server and she was FANTASTIC. We had a party of 4 and everyone loved their food. We got 2 bottles of wine because on Sunday the wine were marked down. We just had a wonderful time and Please thank Lea for us“

“Their pizza, Veggie Subs, and service are outstanding!“

“Good is always done well and the staff has always been very pleasant, only downfall which I’m unsure is with the staff or the app, is that expect the wait time to be 15-30 minutes longer than what is told to you on the app. If you already know that though, then you can plan accordingly.“

“My family had the pleasure of dining at Lola & Giuseppe's last evening, and it truly was a pleasure! We began with wedding soup (some of the best I have ever tasted), a Guiseppe's Salad, and spinach-artichoke dip. Two of our group had the meat lasagna which was delicious and a huge serving. Other entrees included egg plant parmigana and chicken marsala. All were excellent, large servings, and very reasonably priced. The surprise (and a good one) was the Creme de Limocello that was bursting with lemon flavor and a nice little nip. Service was excellent and the owner stopped by to chat on two occasions thanking us for dining there. It was undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we have had in quite a while. Highly recommend!“

“I get my food to go every week; the food is great; Nico is the guy who usually gets everything together. He couldn't be more efficient, helpful or friendly. His assistance is always appreciated!“

“Dinning is A classic vibe with excellent homemade food from pasta to pizza and subs. Highly recommend 😎😎😎“

“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!“

“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!“

“Delicious and affordable, with super friendly staff!“

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

“This is our happy place. When there is a special family celebration, we come here. Love walking in, as David greets us at the door every time. It’s like visiting your Nonna and Nonno’s house and seeing all of your cousins and knowing that you’re in store for the best meal ever. Look forward to a leisurely feast with good wine, warm bread and some of the best Italian dishes we’ve found. The entire staff is incredible. Be sure to make a reservation because every time we go it’s a full house.“

“Have been there several times. It’s outstanding!! Highly recommend! I would give them 5 stars but it’s not letting me….“

“From the moment we walked in, we felt like welcomed guests rather than customers. The atmosphere transported us straight to Italy, with a warmth and authenticity that set the stage for what became an extraordinary evening. Each course felt like a carefully wrapped gift, designed with intention and presented with artistry. The flavors carried unexpected complexities—layers that unfolded in ways you rarely find in restaurants around here. Every bite told a story, both comforting and refined, and left us excited for what would come next. This wasn’t just dinner—it was an experience. One that lingered long after the last course, reminding us how exceptional dining can be when passion and craft meet. Truly unforgettable. We added the 4 course wine pairing with the Pelino’s Dinner. We ended the experience with espresso, which was better than any espresso we’ve ever had (even the 3 times we’ve been to Italy). Truly a special night.“

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

“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!“

“My all time favorite pizza. Only thing I miss about Ohio.“

“We absolutely love Marcella’s. It is our family’s go to for special occasions. The food is always excellent, the host staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the service is wonderful. Huge shout out to our server Alec for being so attentive and kind and for making our birthday celebration with two young kids so smooth and special. We will be back and requesting Alec again soon. ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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“

“Great customer service! I walked in just after opening and they were still setting everything up so I got the chicken free cuz I was waiting for 5 min for it to come and since their Apple Pay machine wasn’t working and Danny was such a nice person giving it for free just for the waiting on the system!! Will definitely eat here again 10/10“

“Great food for lunch and the patio area is a plus. 😊“

“Best restaurant in Delaware. The food is spectacular. Best sandwich is the chicken parm. Best pasta is the gnocchi. Finally, the best pizza is the Delaware destroyer.
Tuesday’s trivia atmosphere is fun and the questions are actually hard.
The service is the highlight of the restaurant all the staff is very attentive. Spotlight to Clarissa.“

“Great Pasta. Top notch service and wine selection!“

“The ONLY place to get pizza from. Nicest guys in the world and piled on toppings! Professional, polite and LOCAL! Thanks a lot!“

“MOUTHWATERING. HOMEMADE AND AUTHENTIC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“service was excellent and food was good“

“Great place and food! I’ve been getting the Chefs Favorite w/chicken. Bomb every time! I prefer getting food here than getting Chipotle.“

“We enjoyed our family outing when we came in for a late lunch. Service was good but the food took alittle long to come out. The salad and bread sticks are always a great beginner. Prices are up like so many places. We left full and satisfied with a good desert for later. We will be back when we can afford it.“

“Everything we had was AMAZING!!! You gotta try it for yourself.“

“I dined here for the first time yesterday and order the Fettuccine Alfredo w/chicken and a Caesar salad…both were absolutely delicious, the flavor was amazing and so was the Moscato wine which had the perfect amount of sweetness that I like! The breadsticks were amazing, they melt in your mouth. My server Aaron, was excellent, great personality with a wonderful sense of humor! I will definitely be back and will be making Milanos a regular place to have dinner! If you’ve never been here, I totally recommend giving Milano’s a try!!!“

“When are you guys going to come into this century and sign up with GrubHub or DoorDash? You'd definitely increase your profits. Driving to pick up food is old school, LOL!!“

“I had a power outage in my neighborhood. I found the Olive Garden in Polaris. Although they were crowded, they kept things moving. Thats efficiency. After I ordered my food the server took my order. Remember,it's busy. My food came out hot and popping. The bread sticks were soft . Ended up eating 6 bread sticks. The food was good. I had to sit in my car afterwards from being so full. You've GOT to go to this location. They treat you right!!“

“I usually do not order the chocolate gelato flavor but this was amazing for such a common choice. The texture of the gelato was inclusive of chocolate shavings that made the overall tasting experience that much better. I tried a slice of their pizza and the seasonings and crust was en-point. I am used to NY thin slices so it is hard for me to be happy with other places outside of NYC but this was very good. We also tried the à la carte cookie section in the bakery and felt the presentation was very good but a bit pricey for what you get. We ordered maybe 9 cookies which came out to 16.00. Whether determined by weight or by individual cookie, it was a bit extraneous, however still worth it. We also bought some dubai chocolate bars which were thick and creamy. Very satisfactorily like the bars that have gone viral online. We loved it. The buffet looked very good and we may try that next time we come. This place has a little bit of everything and is truly a Little Italy and we enjoyed our visit. Thank you!“

“This place really does have delicious food. Even the shrimp we ordered were perfectly cooked. We hadn't ordered from there before, but I'm glad we finally did. Highly recommended. Edit: Order from there and pick it up. Don't order it through a service if you can help it.“

“The food is great - we’ve tried most of their pizzas and the antipasti salad is to die for. Unfortunately I can’t speak as highly about the staff. On several occasions, usually on Sundays when they close at 7, I’ve gotten my food close to 7 but NEVER after 7. I’ve placed orders for pick-up at 6:45 and if I wasn’t there at 6:45 on the dot I’ve been called being harassed to get my food because they close at 7. Today I went in at 6:50 and they had already put everything away, taken out the trash, and sanitized everything and gave me lip about wanting to place my order (1 pizza and 1 salad). They proceeded to loudly complain to each other while making my order. Closing at 7 means you stop taking customers at 7 - not that staff gets to walk out the door and lock it behind them at 7.“

“Great food and people would Definitely go back“

“We got the pepperoni pizza and my daughter got the pasta alfredo. Everything was absolutely delicious! The pizza sauce is so good! And the crust is outstanding! I tried a bite of my daughter’s alfredo and can tell it’s homemade. The sauce is perfection! We are already planning our next visit here to try something else! Highly recommend to all who love New York style pizza and authentic Italian!“

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

“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!🥰👍🏼👨🏼‍🍳🍽️🎉🥮🥳❤️“

“Great food. Don’t miss out. Trust me, you really want to eat here. I’m a pretty harsh critic and I LOVED it. Will be back soon. If carbs didn’t make people fat, I would eat here at least once a week.“

“Delicious! 🤤 We had a great experience, wonderful waitress & wonderful food.“

“My wife and I had a lovely experience here at Figlio. We split the “old school” spaghetti and meatballs and a Figlio Classic pizza. The flavor of the spaghetti sauce was just like my grandma’s. The pizza crust had the perfect balance of textures. I thought the cocktails were just okay but my wife liked hers a lot (Gin and Jam). The waitress was very friendly and conversational as well when we had questions about the decor. Overall it was a very nice experience and I’m looking forward to coming back!“

“Mama Mimi’s is the absolute best pizza in town. Baking the pizza is super fast and guarantees pizzas are served hot and fresh every time. I’ve been getting mama Mimi’s since I was a kid and hope to continue to pass down the tradition. Highly recommend!“

“Hands down, the best pizza we have had! Chicago style and hand tossed. Perfection“
