10. Enrico's Pizza & Restaurant

I dined at Enrico's when I was out looking for some local Italian food. While the pizza was very tempting, I went with the chicken parmesan and an order of cheesy garlic bread. The dinner came with a salad and a roll as well. The dressing on the salad was a fresh Italian dressing and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The cheesy garlic bread was awesome! The chicken parmesan was different than I had experienced in other restaurants. Upon the plate's arrival, the chicken was hidden underneath this glorious red sauce. There was a pasta taking up about 2/3 of the plate. The pasta was nice - it was soft and not al dente, but it reminded me of eating pasta in Italy when it didn't hit your stomach hard at all. I would have liked a more sizeable chicken piece and I guess I'm a sucker for more cheese on my chicken parm as well. However, the dish was still good and even after eating all of those items, I wasn't weighed down. Note: The restaurant doesn't have a capacity for dessert, so you'll need to take care of your sweet tooth elsewhere. Potential Tip: A woman was leaving with her children and commented to the owner that the meatballs were the best that she's tasted absolutely anywhere. I haven't put them to the test, but it was an incredibly heartfelt endorsement.

A northwest Columbus classic, always redefining and re-inventing itself but staying true to its classic Italian roots. They constantly update the interior decor to match the times and its current iteration is a casual elegance that makes you feel comfortable in a suit or in blue jeans. The service is always good. The food is consistently good, too, from the new flatbreads to the classic lasagna, and the surprisingly light and deliciously fresh spaghetti and meatballs. It's the sort of place we go back to whenever we can.

We patronized this pizza eatery and really enjoyed the seasonal Santa Fe pizza. The salads are excellent. You will like their service and the freshness of the food. One caveat. The menu is limited to pizza, salad, and calzone. If you are looking for pasta dishes this is not an option. No problem for us but just wanted to mention.

We decided to see what all the hype was about with this place. This was the worst Italian food I have ever had. Our server John was a mediocre server at best. Totally lacking in the social skills to be a server. I watched the bartender sit on a counter with his back to the tables so he could watch tv. Totally unethical and unprofessional. The lasagna we ordered was dried out and tasteless. The bread was edible but the olive oil tasted old. Unfortunately we should have skipped dessert. We ordered the Tiramisu, it was the worst I have ever had. It was not light and creamy like any Tiramisu is, if made correctly. This one was mushy and on the dry side. Then to top it all of it rained while we were eatting, which should have been no big deal, but when we walked out to the parking lot it was flooded in a big area where we had parked. The water was to the bottom of the doors of our car. 8 other customers witnessed this and had even commented about how ridiculous this was. My husband had to take his socks and shoes off and roll up his pant legs as best as possible to get to our car. So beware if you go while it rains, this could happen to you also. We will NEVER set foot back in this place again. james6764, we are concerned to hear this and would like to reach you.

6. Piada Italian Street Food

Reviewed By ViktorTrue
Ironically, the restaurant name says Italian street food but it's really regular Italian dishes and a mix of great looking salads. I don't recall a panzerotti on the menu (fried pizza Italian street food classic), but you can get a nice pasta dish or salad here at a reasonable price. The inside of the restaurant was spacious enough and this is a counter-serve kind of setup, so fast is the key. If you're looking for a real Italian experience, I wouldn't recommend it, but then I wouldn't recommend any fast food options for that quest. But, if you want pretty tasty food served up quickly by nice people in a clean restaurant, then Piada can work for you. Note: There's only one person at a time in the bathroom - if you're heading in during a lunch rush, go before you get to the restaurant.

This pizza is great, always has been, but the recent price changes that took effect, raised prices by like 40%!!! I thought it was an error on my receipt, but a large pie with three toppings was like $24!!! A couple months ago it was like $19. I STILL LOVE the pizza, don't get me wrong, but I do feel like I got slammed with new high price, not gradually over time.

Last week my wife and I wanted to try a new restaurant and were extremely pleased by what we found. Our waitress Rachel was absolutely amazing. She was super friendly, not focused on trying to sell us things we did not want. The other truly great thing about this, was it was her second day on the job, which made it even better. We never had to wait for anything. The other staff was also very good, as any dish/glass that was empty was removed within seconds. The owner Rick was very friendly and working the host/hostess stand. We stopped to tell him how good our service was and how amazing Rachel was, and spent some time talking to us about the whole experience.As far as the food and drinks, they too were fantastic. It was the tastiest Chicken Parm I have ever eaten. We tried lots of different drinks too, and were pleasantly pleased that they did not water them down, and came out quickly.I travel a lot every year, so when I write a review like this, you know they must be good. This could be a weekly event for us, when I am in town.Thank you for the visit and detailed review! We hope to see you when you are back in the area.

Glad our table of 3 had a reservation, wonderful greeting, bread and special infused butter right out. They have really nice Italian red wine selection at reasonable prices served in proper red wine glasses. Around the table we began with salads and wedding soup, yummy too. The the main course by all was huge plate of Italian sausage lasagna, really nice with just a hint of spice. To finish the meal we shared a crazy good lemon chello raspberry cheesecake. Nice service and suggestions by DJ.

Disappointed that we've not visited here before. About 10 of us went on a Saturday night and the service was quite good. It's a large restaurant and the lively atmosphere makes for a good place for groups. They have a small but decent list of craft cocktails. My BlackBerry, rosemary old fashioned was good. Strong and not too sweet. My wife and I shared calamari, good, but just a bit greasy. My chicken carbonara was very good. Creamy with nice portions of diced chicken. The pancetta added a bit if saltiness and a bit of smoky bacon flavor. A huge portion for $20. Definitely a place we'd go back to.
