I literally bring a cooler with me because walking in "just to browse" turns into me spending the GDP of a small nation on pasta, meat, cheese, desserts, sauces, bread, and things I didn't even know I needed until an Italian grandmother-looking angel handed me a sample. Every single thing in this place is outrageously good. Not "good for a market." GOOD good. Like, "I'm questioning every grocery store decision I've made back home" good. At this point I'm not visiting Columbus. I'm making a pilgrimage to Carfagna's and Columbus just happens to be nearby. You should plan your family vacations around going to Columbus so you can visit this store! But rent a U-Haul for what you will want to bring home.

This little gem in Victorian Village is a must visit for anyone who loves authentic Italian food and stellar service. I came here with my roommates family for a celebratory dinner and had an amazing four course dining experience. I was intimidated at first by the number of courses, but each dish is in a small tasting format. Not only was the food delish but our water was incredible. He took time to go through each dish and explain the ingredients and origin. You could tell he was super passionate about his job and the food there. I'm going to come back to try their cacio pepe that they mix in a cheese wheel in front of you!! 10/10!!

Arriving at the restaurant for the first time I opened the front door & immediately struck with the…read moresmell of Seafood which indicated to me the restaurant needs a better ventilation system. I also noticed unfortunately there was no sitting or lounge area for customers to sit if they are Waiting for a table or waiting for a ride share. If you have to wait you are literally in the way of servers or the opening of the front door. I opted for the "Lighter Fare" menu at $55.00, your only two other choices were a Tasting menu at $110.00 or a Pelino's Dinner at four courses for $69.00. The menu is very limited, there is no A la carte available. Our server was professional & polite & the entire staff was lovely. I ordered : First course :Tornare alle Origini Eggplant, Pachino tomatoes, Castelvetrano olives, Pantelleria capers Main Course: L'Oro Verde della Sicilia Rigatoni, Lemon, Butter with Pistacchio di Bronte Crema Dessert : Semifreddo agli Amaretti Amaretti crumble, Semifreddo with Chocolate Sauce This breakdown comes to $18.00 per course. Looking back even the Lighter fare menu is too expensive especially for only one main course on the nights menu that offers Shrimp on your pasta, not even a protein like Chicken or Beef. The most disappointing part of the meal was the temperature of the food, not even remotely warm for this small restaurant. I had a guest dining with me and their first course of Toasted focaccia, Salt-cured Italian anchovies, Bagnet Verd which was comically 2 tiny pieces of bread smaller than a quarter & rock hard for $17.95. Sadly, I would not recommend Pelino's Pasta its too expensive & your clothes smell of seafood after dining there.

They offer a wide variety of flavors too, in not only gnocchi, but also stuffed pastas like ravioli and pierogi, and flat and short cut pastas. They also offer red and cream sauces, pestos, and butters. We will definitely be more adventurous next time, now that we know what kind of options there are. The staff person was very friendly and helpful too.

One single set of shelving down the middle of the store with foods on one side and wine on the other. The perimeter is a deli type counter on one side with the food counter and checkout area in the back. Please believe me when I say be prepared to just look past all that chaos to see the beauty in it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Yes they do offer suggestions, answer your questions and carry your purchases to your car for you. Who does that nowadays?!? I read a review saying not to skip out on the rosemary sea salt bread so I didn't. I mean the smells and it looked like perfection on the tray so how could I resist!? So glad I didn't. It was warm, soft, flavorful and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! I would return for the fresh baked bread alone. We were given samples and we made our selections, paid and had our goodies carried out to the car for us. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. We ended up with a couple varieties of olives, a couple of meatballs and the bread. All fabulous. If you're anywhere near this area and you need some mouthwateringly good food do stop in.

This was my second time having the Stromboli, and I'm happy to report that it's still just as good as I remembered. One thing I really appreciate is that Big Tony's offers beef pepperoni and beef sausage for customers who don't eat pork. The pizza was loaded with toppings, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The Stromboli was fresh, hearty, and packed with flavor. The fries came out hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned really well. The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my visit. The atmosphere was relaxed, comfortable, and a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal with family or friends. Between the delicious food, excellent service, and inviting ambiance, Big Tony's Pizza continues to be a place I'll happily return to.
