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 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.

We had a wonderful celebration dinner at Grist. If you appreciate handmade pasta and creative…read moreflavors, this place is something special. The husband-and-wife team behind Grist has created one of the most inventive pasta menus you'll find anywhere. It's casual--you order at the counter--but don't mistake that for ordinary dining. We started with the rosemary Parmesan focaccia and the cow's milk burrata. Both were excellent. The focaccia was simple, fresh, and perfectly executed, while the burrata was an absolute standout. For our entrées, we had the Mafalda al Agnello, Raviolo al'Uovo, Spring Pea Agnolotti, and Tonnarelli di Mare. Every pasta was handmade and beautifully prepared. The Mafalda stole the show, with wide, ruffled ribbons coated in an incredible braised lamb sauce. The Raviolo al'Uovo was unlike anything I've had before--a single oversized raviolo with remarkable flavor and a presentation that was as memorable as it was delicious. Grist is proof that great dining doesn't require white tablecloths. It simply requires talented people making exceptional food. We couldn't recommend it more.

So we just walked in, and the host was kind enough to let us sit at the little bar area near the window. I like their ordering system. You have many options --- go up to the cash register and order there, order from the server who comes by your table (or in our case, bar), or use your phone by scanning the QR code. And if you use your phone, each person in your party can do it themselves on their own phone. Regardless, it all gets added to the same order for the same table. Pretty slick. At the end, when it comes time to pay, the app lets you split the check however you want, and you can even see the name of the person that ordered each item. The food was incredible. It's not cheap, and the portions are a little smaller than some might expect at an Italian restaurant. But for us, it was filling enough. I personally had the raviolo, which was delicious. Little did I know that in Italian, "raviolo" is singular while "ravioli" is plural. So I got one giant raviolo on my plate (see picture). I didn't care much for the runny egg yolk on top, but it was as advertised on the menu. All the other food orders were amazing, especially the desserts. I'd definitely come back once my food budget resets.

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.
