I visited Losanti last weekend for a friend's birthday dinner, and we had such a good time. First off, the restaurant is beautiful. It's dimly lit, so it has this really chic, cozy vibe that's perfect for date nights, girls' nights, birthdays, or honestly any special occasion. We had a reservation, so we were seated right away in what felt like a little semi private dining room. It overlooked both the street and the rest of the restaurant, and it was honestly a great spot, especially if you're the type that likes to take pictures before you eat. Now let's get into this food because we ordered...a lot. We started with the focaccia, and it was so soft, fluffy, and cheesy. Definitely enough for the three of us to share. We also ordered cocktails. One friend got a French 75, I had a martini, and I can't remember what my other friend ordered, but everybody seemed happy. For our mains, we basically shared everything. We got the chicken parm, the salmon, and the truffle pasta with the meatball. That truffle pasta? Whew. Absolutely my favorite bite of the night. The sauce was thick and creamy without feeling too heavy, and that meatball was huge and just melted in your mouth. We also ordered the mac and cheese, which I loved. It was made with white cheeses and had so much flavor. I don't know exactly what herbs they used, but whatever they did worked. The Brussels sprouts with pancetta were another standout. They were super crispy, and the pancetta and sauce gave them this little hint of sweetness that balanced everything out really well. We also tried the Little Gem salad, and I loved the citrus from the grapefruit. It made the whole salad feel really fresh. By the time dessert rolled around, we were full but somehow we still found room. We shared the butter cake and gelato, and both were delicious. They even put a candle in the dessert for my friend's birthday and had a cute little birthday sign on the table, which was a nice touch. The service was also fantastic. I believe our server's name was Olivia, and she was great. She gave solid recommendations, kept the food and drinks coming all night, and just had a really friendly personality. She definitely helped make the experience even better. The only hiccup all night was that our room was a little warm. We mentioned it, and the staff immediately brought in two fans, which honestly fixed the problem pretty quickly. Also, shout out to whoever the boss babe was in that crisp suit because she was giving Richie from The Bear in the best way. She came in, handled everything without missing a beat, and made sure we were comfortable. Overall, I cannot stress enough how much fun we had. The food was genuinely delicious, the portions were great for sharing, the service was excellent, and the whole experience felt special from beginning to end. I've heard their happy hour is really good too, so I'll definitely be back to check that out. read more

Finally can check this off our list! Good, excellent. Truly. Nothing was a miss and everything fresh and fantastic. You can tell it's all in house and with culinary excellence. Their meats were super high quality, their pasta from scratch, every flavor well balanced. You must try the kale Caesar. I hate kale and I am obsessed with this salad. Phenomenal! Burrata was amazing, and some of the best oysters I've ever had! I wish we got the foccacia but we ordered quite a bit for two people. Service, also exceptional. So friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. Hats off to the team. Value-- actually prices surprised me. I expected to pay more but I thought everything was well priced. Ambiance I feel like is where it's lacking. I thought it would give Italian steakhouse vibes, but it seemed a little cheaply decorated. Food and service take top priority for me so it's not a big deal, but I think with the right furniture and vibe this place can be elevated a lot more. The furniture and decor was cheap looking and predictable. We'd definitely come back and we had a great time! Thank you read more

Losanti was worth a visit but what is so hard about a steakhouse in Columbus is the comparables - Butcher & Rose, Jeff Ruby's, Avenue, Hyde Park, The Top and The Barn, etc). Given that, it was worth the try. Parking was interesting and definitely a drive from the Northeast where we live. The decor was dark, intimate and felt underwhelming for a steakhouse. The tables and chairs gave me Wayfair vibes and not necessarily elevated luxury. It did its job given the overall vibe. Let's get to the real good stuff. The service was excellent - from the host, the server to those who interacted with us throughout the night. The cocktails were elevated but, whoever crafted the listed drinks really liked Gin. Gin is less overpowering than most alcohol options and pairs well with most flavors so I understand. I would like to see more variety with use of Vodka, Tequila, Bourbon along with Gin. I stuck to wine this evening given my love for Tequila and lack of cocktail variety. Don't get me wrong, they did have a full bar and assuming they could make anything you wanted. My husband did get the Jalisco and, dang, that was a stiff drink! Flavors were amazing. The wine list was decent and plenty of variety that assuming pairs well with the menu. The food menu is limited and so is the dessert menu. I am perfectly okay with that given restaurants usually execute better that way. I appreciated they had fish and chicken options along with the steaks. We met our dear friends for an extention of a birthday celebration and steak wasn't a desire for a few people this evening. Thats okay because they both had other options to choose from. We started with the foccacia and the cocktail shrimp. The foccacia is a must order! The slight sweetness of the baked tomato sauce on top with the cheese and softness of the bread, just hit. I asked for olive oil and balsamic mixed on the side. Thank you to our server who knew exactly what I wanted. The shrimp cocktail was disappointing. It gave us, let me run to Kroger to grab a shrimp cocktail tray, vibe. They were small. I don't remember what the cocktail sauce tasted like because I was not excited. There were 7 so at least it made up for it. I expected larger shrimp for the ice tray it was presented in. My husband had the lobster pasta dish that was spicey and bland. Hard to explain because the tomato cream sauce just didn't pair well with the delicate lobster. Without the heat of the spice it would have been a hard pass. I got the 6 oz filet cooked medium. They executed that perfectly. A nice medium center with a crust on the outside and buttery soft chew. I threw the truffle butter on top and squeezed some of the roasted garlic to make a paste, spectacular! Good cut and great execution. To wrap up the night we got the butter cake. Our server got the gesture we were there celebrating a birthday. He brought the cake out with a lit candle and we never asked. The sweetest! The cake was soo good and huge. Buttery, slightly dense and sweet with an amazing crispy crust. The caramel Gelato on top sealed the deal. Outstanding! A mixed review for my mixed feelings. Overall a great evening but I am not raving to come back given other alternatives in the city. read more

5 stars. We will definitely be back. Good service, great food, and a really nice restaurant. We parked in the Gravity garage and had no issues. The margarita was great, the focaccia was soft and delicious, and my filet was cooked perfectly medium well. The mashed potatoes and truffle mac and cheese were amazing. The elote corn was just okay for me, but my friend loved it. Don't skip dessert. The butter cake was SO good. Warm, moist, and served with vanilla ice cream and caramel syrup. The decor is beautiful too. Even the restroom was stunning. Overall a great experience. read more

So glad to have made my first visit to Losanti! While waiting for my reservation I enjoyed the Happy Hour menu at the bar. The decor and staff were fantastic! After too much snacking before dinner, I opted for a salad once seated. But everything from start to finish was delicious! I'll definitely be back! read more

We had a reservation on a Wednesday evening at Losanti, and it wasn't too busy aside from a few work dinners, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. We started with the focaccia topped with roasted tomato, basil, and parmesan--such a great way to kick things off. My friend and I also split the Little Gem salad with avocado, candied walnuts, grapefruit, fennel, and champagne vinaigrette. It was the perfect size to share and super refreshing. The restaurant itself is adorable--perfect for a date night or a girls night. This visit felt more like a quick dinner to try somewhere new, but I'd definitely come back for a more elevated, sit-down experience. For our main, we split the rigatoni bolognese with parmesan, and unfortunately it wasn't my favorite--the sauce just didn't do it for me. Next time, I'd love to try the gnocchi with truffle, pancetta, and sage or go for the steak frites. We also ordered the charred broccolini, which was good but didn't totally wow me. I'm curious to try the Brussels sprouts or the elote-style corn next time instead. Dessert was hands down the highlight--absolutely amazing. Honestly, I could see myself coming back just for dessert and drinks because both were that good. read more

Second time here, love this place. First time we went traditional Italian. I had the chicken Parm and my daughter had the Bolognese. Both are very good. We finished with the butter cake, which was outstanding. Second time in had steak, the fillet and the ribeye. Our server talked me into the Port wine butter, which was a very good idea. Never would've got that without the suggestion, but it made the steak one of the best I've ever had. Also ordered the mac & cheese, which was just crazy good as well as the French onion soup which was delicious. read more

Food was delicious. I'd put it up there with any of the other top steak places in Columbus and we've been to them all! Service was great.

We've dined at Losanti twice, and were impressed both times. The food is very good. Prices are probably 20% lower than comparable steakhouses. Ambience is very nice. Service is excellent. We love that this restaurant is in Franklinton. Great place. Highly recommended. We'll be back again soon. read more

5/5 My wife and I had an amazing experience at Losanti and definitely see why it gets so much hype. We started with the mussels, which were a great way to kick things off. For entrées, I had the 14 oz ribeye and she had the 7 oz filet mignon; both were cooked perfectly and absolutely worth it. For drinks, she ordered the espresso martini (which recently won #1 at Columbus Espresso Martini Fest earlier this month), and I had the Mezcal Last Word. Both cocktails were excellent and complemented the meal really well. Overall, the service, food, drinks, and atmosphere made for a fantastic experience. It's definitely not an everyday dinner spot price-wise, but it's absolutely worth the money. Perfect for a special occasion, date night, or anytime you want a genuinely great dining experience. read more

My husband and I had an amazing dinner at Losanti. First, I love the ambiance, lighting, the decor, and the seating was stylish but very comfortable as well. The hospitality was incredible. Every server was so kind (our main one was Ryan, he was wonderful) and they provided an over-the-top experience. Even the gentleman bringing out the food took his time to get us excited about each dish and they all seemed to really enjoy their job. Onto the drinks, delicious!! I had the Lillet Rose and it was perfectly sweet. My husband had the Old Fashioned and he said it was one of the best he's had. Now onto our food, we had the shrimp cocktail and it was great and the cocktail sauce had a nice kick to it. For the main meal, our steaks were cooked exactly how we asked, the food was hot, and every bite was amazing! Big of the truffle butter!Our sides were the mashed potatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms. Lastly, we got the butter cake and I had an espresso martini. The martini was strong and so delicious and the butter cake is so good and it was huge! I'm not even a big sweets person and I couldn't stop eating it! We will definitely come again and we're looking forward to trying more on the menu next time! read more

Stopped in for an early birthday dinner a few days ago. For parking there is a garage but it was a bit of a walk to get to the actual entrance. Or maybe we went the wrong way not sure. Service was great. Our server was knowledgeable and prompt. We made it in for happy hour so we tried the meatball. It was very good! And the grilled pesto bread that came with it was perfect. I got the steak frites as my main. It was basically a plate of fries with a side of steak steak was decent. I did like the chimichurri on it. The chicken parm was also tasty but again a bit of a smaller portion for the price. Overall I'd definitely be back in but would try different items on the menu. read more

I've been to Losanti twice now, and it is by far my favorite steakhouse in Columbus. We just went by for their happy hour and it was a great experience again. The food is amazing, everything tastes so fresh and you can tell there's a lot of thought behind it. Maxwell was our server and he was great! Very kind and welcoming and knew the menu extensively. I would definitely recommend dining here if you haven't yet! read more

Great atmosphere, good food, and a memorable experience read more

We tried the new restaurant. I'll start with the good, the beef tartare has so much flavor and the bread is soft. The kale caesar is huge and also amazing. The ribeye was one of the best we've had at steakhouses with the char and salt. The pasta isn't worth ordering again, the flavor of the sauce had a sweetness to it. The focaccia was a miss.. tastes like a sweet bread rather than typical focaccia flavor. The butter cake is to die for!!! Best we've ever had. Drinks were good as well. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. The ambience is part of my reason for one less star. Location is everything, outside you could see either a graffiti wall or a street with large poles in the way. The inside is beautiful for the space they have. read more

Great fine dining experience at Losanti! We came for happy hour (even on the weekends!) which is 4-6pm, discounted drinks, apps, and the Losanti burger. Everything came out fresh and fast, however I do take a star down based on the portion sizes, specifically the shrimp cocktail. For $10, serving five shrimp in a large ice bucket seemed a little cheap, especially for such an upscale restaurant. The service was excellent, with our waiters checking on us throughout the visit, and the manager also stopped by to talk to us. The standout was the butter cake for dessert!! Trust me, just get it- gooey, piping hot, buttery, sweet, and topped with ice cream, I would come back for this dessert alone. Overall, very nice experience, but would like to see a more robust happy hour, especially after a new opening! read more

My husband and I decided to check out Losanti completely on a whim. We checked OpenTable for reservations and nothing was available, but since they just opened about two weeks ago we figured we'd take our chances with a walk-in. When we got there it was immediately clear this place was BUSY. But the vibes were great from the start. It was super windy and one of the women (I'm assuming a manager) was standing by the door holding it open for everyone and greeting people with a smile, which was such a nice touch. Even though we didn't have a reservation, they squeezed us in with no wait and never once made us feel like we were inconveniencing them. I was also in athletic wear and felt a little underdressed at first, but the staff truly didn't make us feel out of place. Before I even talk about the food, I have to highlight the service because it was AMAZING. Our waiter Connor was so personable and patient and gave great drink recommendations that really hit the spot. The timing of everything was perfect. Drinks, apps, and mains came out exactly when they should. Not rushed, not slow. Silverware was replaced right away, our water glasses were never empty, and anytime the table got a little messy it was already cleaned. Now the food. Oh my god. I thought I had the best Italian food I'd ever had last week... but nope. Losanti wins. The vodka pasta was to die for. The pasta is homemade and cooked perfectly al dente. The truffle mac? Chileeeee... it was GOOD. The focaccia bread and masala mushrooms were also incredible. As a vegetarian I'm used to having limited options, but here there were actually several things I wanted to try. I'll definitely be coming back to work through the rest of the menu. Highly recommend.

Our service was outstanding. So was the food. It is very rare to have every course be top notch, but to add outstanding service as well, really sets this establishment part. We started with half dozen East Coast oysters. They came out with a selection of 3 sauces and fresh lemon wedges. Top marks for presentation, freshness, and taste. Next, we had the large meatball appetizer. It too, amazing. The grilled artisan bread was a nice touch. We split the wedge salad, which was also wonderful. Crisp iceberg lettuce, pork belly, pickled red onions, 6-minute egg, and freshly made blue cheese salad dressing came together to make one of the best wedge salads I've had. For our entrees, I had the Lobster Americaine while my wife had the bolognese. Both pasta dishes were the best we've had in a very long time. And finally the service (Thank you, Olivia) was very attentive, but not rushed. Exactly how great food at a great restaurant should be served. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we will most certainly be back. read more

Service was top notch! I ordered a NY Strip medium rare it came out medium also it was mediocre in taste, nothing special! My wife had the crab cake appetizer and yes it was a crab cake with cold, seemingly uncooked green beans. I would expect better for the price! read more

Very delicious. Was a beautiful atmosphere, very modern and moody. The prices were very fair for the quality of the food and the service. I'm a vegetarian and I was super impressed with the eggplant Parmesan (side dish) and the Cesar kale was unbelievable. My husband the fillet and really enjoyed it. The cookie with ice cream was out of this world. read more

This is a nice place. The ambiance is nice, very open. The main room is large and loud. Unfortunately, there was a table near us with the proverbial loud laugher who thought they were the only people there! We had some vodka rigatoni and fresh bruschetta as apps. Both were delicious and made fresh! We all had steaks which were excellent. We ordered two different bottles of wine. Had some trouble initially as the wine list was not up to date and they did not have some selections. Server was good and easy to talk to. Although the loud table next to us made it hard to talk to her! Overall, fun place. They are still working out some small things, but the food is great. read more

I am excited to see a nice restaurant in this part of Franklinton. The place is nicely decorated. Very dark but interesting. Tables can feel a bit too close together but not a huge deal. Service is very good. Food was a hit and miss. We had salad that was good but way overdressed. I ordered the ribeye and is was good but not for the price. The quality of meat was average for this price point. Sides were hit and miss. Brussel Sprouts were very good and mushrooms were flavorful but boring in presentation. Mashed potatoes sounded great on the menu but were weak and over whipped. My wife got the chix parm and it was goid but not great. The butter cake dessert was excellent. Overall, good restaurant hut not great. There are better steakhouses in Cbus. Very expensive so bring your wallet. read more

Sat at the bar during Friday happy hour. Our cocktails were all delicious and the food was great. Our bartenders were attentive and kind, and the entire set up felt elevated which we love. We started with a round of drinks, oysters and the fries. The fries were killer along with their aioli and the west coast oysters were fresh, served with classic pairings. Since it's a new spot we wanted to try an assortment of things, so we also got the burger, truffle mac and eggplant parm. The bun on the burger was just ok, kind of dry, but the burger itself was a generous portion, juicy and flavorful. The eggplant parm was amazing, with the actual eggplant wrapped around a creamy cheese filling. The standout however, was the truffle mac. The pasta was clearly made fresh and the flavors were spot on. The space itself is industrial, but with a vintage feel thanks to pretty chandeliers and light fixtures, a pretty bar area and classic furniture and chairs. Overall we will definitely be coming back, especially to enjoy the patio in the warm weather. This is a great new spot in a growing downtown neighborhood! So happy it's here! read more

Wonderful food and spectacular service! I would highly recommend that you try this new Columbus gem!

What a wonderful place to go for a nice dinner. The food is amazing, the place is new and nice, the staff are personable and approachable, especially the bar staff. Caleb was an amazing server. kind, considerate, and crafty. He was prompt, courteous, and guided us through an unforgettable experience. The best advice I can give anyone eating here is to leave room for the butter cake and if you can't....then take one home read more

When I first walked in, we were greeted with energetic and happy hosts that immediately celebrated us for our anniversary once we gave our name for the reservation. While they walked us through the restaurant, I was in awe of the classy, yet updated version of a steakhouse. All of the details are gorgeous, from the lighting to the bar to the bathrooms! There is an extensive wine list and a great selection of beer and cocktails. We started off with the oysters and they were extremely fresh and shucked to order. We shared a salad and it was a perfect portion for two which they split in the back for you. I had the steak and frites, It was piled high with french fries and the chimichurri sauce on it was incredible. My husband had the 8oz filet and it was a delicious cut of meat very well cooked. On the side we tried the truffle Mac and cheese and it was also delicious. We wrapped up the night with the butter cake that had an out of this world "crust" on it and was huge- big enough for 4 people. We loved celebrating our anniversary there and the service Olivia provided was one of the best we have had at a restaurant. We look forward to our next meal there! read more

Great food and service. My only complaint is $37 for a single drink of Macallan 12. That is criminal.

This place is outstanding. The servers all seemed happy and relaxed and very knowledgeable which is so impressive since Losanti just opened. Everything we ate was the best version of it we ever had - the way they do the steaks, the veggies, the meatballs and even the salads is just so unique and perfect. Can't wait to have an excuse to go back! read more
