this has to be one of the best Italian restaurants in the whole city of Columbus Ohio. I've been there quite a bit. It's family owned and it's authentic great food. I would recommend this to anyone that wants real good Italian food that's fresh. The owners are incredible people in super friendly
A Bexley institution. The gamberi diavola was delicious. Their bruschetta is my go to. All the pizzas are good. All the salads are good. Great wine list.
Best restaurant in Columbus. We measure all others by the consistent quality of this place; almost everyplace else comes up far short.
Their Italian sausage is wonderful. Think it is homemade. Service was great with an experienced staff. The place oozes with old world ambience and charm.
This is a busy family-filled place. Music was current. Barkeep and other hospitality staff were all courteous. Granchico was light tasting and a very nice portion. Ricotta & Pistachio cake was delicious!
I've heard such great things about Giuseppe's so I had to give it a try. We had the Bella Anita as an appetizer and it was fantastic! The Cacio e Pepe as my entree was tasty as well. Looking forward to trying other pastas during my next visit.
Friendly greeters, wait service was wonderful, olives were good, polpette was fantastic (ordered more to go), cacio e Pepe is too thin with the wrong cheese - not authentic, short ribs were amazing, the gnocchi Emellia was good but not great, the veal piccata with extra capers was amazing. The wine could be cooler, it is served at the traditional room temperature. Will definitely come here again. The photography artwork changes every 10 minutes and is a nice touch!
In Columbus for the weekend for Sonic Temple (Music festival at Crew Stadium) and my friends and decided that we needed some amazing food. Jumped in a Lyft and headed out to Giuseppe's Ritrovo. Beautiful place with some of the greatest service I have had in quite some time. Thankfully, we were seated immediately and I was mesmerized by the art work around the restaurant. Ordered the Chicken Parmesan and OMG, I'm drooling as I type this. The sauce was honestly the best I've ever had. It tasted like it was made specifically for my meal. The chicken had a nice flavorful taste to it. Highly Highly Highly recommend enjoying a nice meal at Giuseppe's Ritrovo.
