My friend said the Alfredo was good and the soup and salad were excellent. The mushroom Marsala soup was fantastic and the salad was extremely fresh. I also ordered a pizza to go(so I wouldn't have to fix dinner). While we were eating our server brought a pizza out for my "approval". Said the kitchen staff baked it a bit too long and asked if the pizza was too charred for my taste. Unfortunately it was too charred. He took it back to the kitchen and they remade my pizza. Second pizza was perfect. That is great customer service! I will definitely return to Lievita. It is a great addition to food choices in Chillicothe. I was totally impressed.

We've gone here in the past when we were in the area and always were pleased with the food, the…read moreservice and the prices. This visit I was disappointed because I ordered something just to try it out. It was the Sally pizza with cheese, spinach and anchovies. It turned out to be too salty for my tastes. I am trying to cut down on salt so when I cook I don't use any salt. And if I cook with anchovies, I always rinse them well to remove most of the salt. So I hate to say it but the pizza was edible but disappointing because it was too salty IMO. Otherwise the visit was quite nice as usual (4 stars) and we will be back.

The restaurant is decorated with Italian charm without the over cluttered feel of many Italian restaurants. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They were able to answer any questions we had about the menu and offered suggestions as well. The food is fresh authentic Italian and the menu is a nice variety without overwhelming the diner or the kitchen. We had the ravioli that was on special and a pizza - both were delicious! They also had a nice offering of Italian sweets that were very tempting, but we were so full from our entrees that we didn't partake this time. We will certainly be back to try the lasagna!

My son and his wife took us to a an amazing place they stumbled into what may very well be the culinary pride of Columbus: La Tavola, a family-owned, family-run Italian restaurant that feels like someone teleported you straight into Nonna's kitchen... but with better lighting and no guilt about not calling enough. If you love yourself a great, unapologetically stinky pizza and I'm talking Parmigiano-Reggiano and ricotta levels of heavenly funk then this is your place. This pizza didn't just have cheese; it was knee-deep in cheese. Handmade, hand-rolled, and clearly crafted by people who know their way around a dairy situation. The appetizers? Fantastic. The waitstaff? Friendly, attentive, and exactly the kind of people you'd hope are handing you carbs by the plateful. But then, the main dishes arrived. I ordered seared scallops over a bed of handmade buttery fettuccine with capers, and I swear I heard an angel sing. The scallops were perfectly cooked, the pasta was the kind that ruins you for boxed pasta forever, and the whole thing tasted like someone's Italian grandmother blessed the plate personally. If I could say "WAY TO GO!" in Italian, I absolutely would but instead I'll say this: If you're ever in Columbus, go to La Tavola. Go hungry. Go ready to eat like you're visiting family. And go prepared to fall a little bit in love with this place. Family-owned, warm, cozy, and outrageously delicious. Highly recommend.

Hi my name is Laurie, my husband, son, and granddaughter visited the Hickory Inn for dinner tonight…read more1/30/26 around 6p.m., Our dinner order included a Filet Mignon dinner with fries, a house steak dinner with fettuccini , and the Angel hair pasta dinner with shrimp and garlic bread, as well as breaded mushrooms and cheese balls for appetizers. When the pasta dinner arrived I was surprised because it almost looked like a kids meal, the pasta was broken into small pieces about the size of the noodles you would see in Lipton noodle soup and the shrimp was cut up into small pieces, honestly I have never received a pasta dinner like this ever, it really seemed like a cut up child's meal. I did question the waitress about the dinner prior to ordering it to get her perspective since I had never ordered this at your restaurant before. The dish also lacked the flavor that was described on the menu. The other dinners we ordered were great. The pasta dinner was not worth the $18.95 price tag that I paid this evening. I did not complain or voice concern while at the restaurant because it was busy, I felt it would be rude to say something at that time. Our waitress did an excellent job tonight which we were thankful for.. I would appreciate a refund or credit for the price of the pasta dinner towards my next visit. The attachment is the description of the dinner that I thought I was getting. I have attempted to contact the owner twice via email but have not received a response. Thank you for listening.

I was charged an extra dollar for the plain hamburger than what the menu listed (deluxe cheeseburger was $1 more) 6. I paid with a $20 bill for a $9.13 bill 7. The change I was given was 2 $5 bills (they just kept the $.87 change) I left a whole dollar tip and left! Other than poor service, poorly prepared burger, stale bun, bad chips, incorrect charge and incorrect change, everything was fine. I think they just want to sell pizzas!

The employee who helped us was very friendly. We got the chicken parm, Alfredo, pizza, and bread with homemade butter. Everything was delicious. The pasta tasted fresh, the Alfredo noodles were my favorite, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The pizza was AMAZING. Hidden gem. The crust was soft, chewy, and perfectly crisp, and that pizza sauce is perfection. My only complaint is they didn't have utensils available for takeout. We had a 20 minute drive home and were ready to dig in immediately, so that was a little disappointing. Already looking forward to our next visit.
