Just sat down in college area restaurant shopping for Italian and was suggested I try. Nice sitting seating arrangement. Have asked for one of lunch specials of Mannicotti and Meat Sauce. Order at front desk. And my lunch is excellent. read more

I ordered a calzone, meatball sub, and cheese pizza. Sauce on pizza and sub were good as well as sauce for dipping the calzone. Pizza was just ok and I wish the meatballs on the sub were cooked in the sauce at some point to get that flavor of the seasoning from the sauce though you can tell meatballs are cooked separately. Calzone wasn't too shabby. read more

I ordered delivery. Cheese bread is cold. Calamari is burnt and over breaded. Pasta dish is mediocre with barely any pasta in it. The worst part was how expensive this disappointing meal was. I will never order from here again it was a waste of money. Honestly Olive Garden has better Italian food. read more

BEST PLACE TO EAT IN TOWN!!! Owners are the sweetest and really care about their customers. Very personal touch. Great family environment. Cannolis are best in the world. I wish I could give this place 10/5 stars!!! New favorite. Will make this a regular. read more

Pick-up was easy and the food was delicious! We tried the corn and shrimp chowder, baked lasagna and the procutto ravioli. It was hot and the portions a perfect size. We will definately order again. read more

Outstanding food !!! High quality ingredients. Family run super clean restaurant. It is our weekly go to . read more

We really enjoyed our food although it was a little greasy. The restaurant was very clean. There appeared to be only one worker taking orders and preparing the food, but this did not affect our service. The man worked fast and was very friendly. Overall we were happy with our choice of coming here. read more

What a great find for us. We wanted to support our local business and find this place. The pizza was great; light and full of flavor. The shrimp scampi my wife loved. I got the chicken Parmesan and it was enough for two. Try this place, you won't be disappointed and it's always good to support the local business. read more

Best Italian in the city. Fresh flavors. Highly recommend. Marinara is low acid, but high in flavor (garlic, onions, basil). Pizza is great NY style baked perfectly. Nice portions. Very good prices. read more

To be completely honest, never been inside. We get it on postmates multiple times a week. We have heard it's clean inside but the food is incredible. Large portions and you can tell everything is fresh made in house. My wife gets the goat cheese ravioli, it's great, the filling is fluffy and perfectly seasoned. The vodka sauce that comes on it is so delicious, it is well balanced and creamy. I get the veal parm and the veal is crispy and tender, but the noodles are what really makes the dish. I love homemade noodles and these hit the craving every time. The marinara sauce has a little spice, but it's a welcome addition to my taste buds. We always get extra garlic bread (best thing you can get for 50 cents anywhere) and their salads have good quality ingredients. The reason I'm writing this is because I messed up my order and they were happy to help me fix it. Dealing with them was pleasant and made me confident that I should recommend this restaurant to others in Yelp land! read more

I meant to take pictures of the main meal, my husband got Lobster Ravioli and I got Chicken Marsala....they were both very good!!! The dessert was also very good, the gelato was so refreshing as was the lemon cake! Everything tasted fresh and authentic! Prices were great for the food quality! Owner was nice and talked to use throughout the meal! read more

Nice family owned business. My family likes this restaurant. They offer a nice variety of choices and the pasta is good. We like the pizza too. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU ENJOY HORRIBLE FOOD. Update- the restaurant told me Uber would give me my money back, Uber said no, the restaurant would. So, yeah, I'm out $20. I ordered an Italian sub and eggplant parmigiana. what a waste of $20. the sub hardly had any meat on it, had pink/unripe tomatoes and creamy Italian dressing that tasted more like thousand island dressing. it was awful. the eggplant was soggy and had zero flavor. and I've never seen cheese the color it was. this was the worst "Italian " food I've ever had in my life. I called the restaurant (they were very nice) and complained- they said to that I had to lodge a complaint on Uber eats to get a refund (which I did). I can guarantee I'll never order from pasta villa again. If I could give less than one star, I would. read more

My fiancé and I came here with my parents last week. The owner introduced himself and was welcoming, friendly, and funny. The restaurant is still very new and was waiting on their liquor license to come in. Initially I was bummed I couldn't have a drink, but that feeling quickly went away once I tasted the food. My dad and I got the classic spaghetti and meatballs, which melted in your mouth and were cooked to perfection. My fiancé got the special which was goat cheese ravioli in a creamy sauce (I think it was butternut squash..can't remember) and they were fantastic! I'm not the most adventurous when it comes to new food but those ravioli were rich, creamy, and amazingly delicious. My mom had the lasagna which looked great as well but I didn't try it. We got the Cannoli for dessert and it did not disappoint! It was the perfect treat after a wonderful meal. I look forward to going back many times and I'm very excited to welcome this restaurant to the neighborhood. The lunch buffet also seems like a great deal if you're looking for affordable and good quality lunch options. read more

Great find!! I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and it reminded me of the fettuccine Alfredo that I had at an authentic Italian restaurant in Miami. The sauce was not too heavy, but had just enough flavor to really compliment the pasta. Also their house salad with the light Italian dressing was sooo good. My husband ordered the Philly cheesesteak and really enjoyed it. Glad we were able to satisfy both of our cravings! Everything came perfectly packed with napkins and utensils. Thanks for a delicious dinner! read more

Very clearly, without any question, the very, very best tasting Italian food that I have ever experienced in Columbus, Ohio. You can tell immediately that all presentations are freshly made to order. The chicken is very tender and moist, baked to perfection. The serving size is also perfect! The staff there are so super friendly, very helpful and very accomodating. Keep up the fantastic work! read more

The food is always excellent!! Very traditional vibe! I love this place! I would recommend this place to all my friends and family.

Pretty good. My husbands food was good. I had Gnocchi with marinara sauce. The description said it contained ground beef and sausage. There was no meat to be found. Not even in the sauce! I ordered from Grubhub. Very small potion considering how much my husband had. Those are the reasons I took two stars off. I probably won't order again. We paid $60, I didn't feel like it was worth it. read more

If I could give this "restaurant" zero stars, I would. My group was waiting for more than an hour and a half without being served or given place settings. We were a group of college kids, fresh out of a swim meet and would've eaten pretty much anything edible; i.e. standards were not high. Instead, we were served pasta either so raw it fell apart in our mouths or so over cooked it was an unrecognizable lump of dough under a cold sauce likely meant to mask the sludge underneath. Needless to say, the old sauce- camouflage trick did not work. Overall, a pretty abominable experience on all accounts. read more

As they say, don't judge a book by it's cover. This is the case with Pasta Villa: a small, family owned pasta shop in the Old North part of Columbus. By looks of the building, one wouldn't think you would get an authentic experience, but you do. The decor of Pasta Villa is pretty average, but we don't eat for decor, we eat for food. We ordered the lobster ravioli, sausage gnocchi, and a white pizza. All very good and exceeded expectations. You could tell that the gnocchi was hand made, and the sauce was very impressive. We used the free glasses of wine coupon through Yelp, so that made it even sweeter. All in all, this is a good, cheap option for some very good Italian food. read more

Ordered from here for the first time a few weeks ago and I loved it. The prices are really fair for the quality of food. Also, just reordered and again great food. The calamari actually wasn't rubbery and crap - so many places screw calamari up. I'll definitely be returning. :) read more

My wife and I came here for lunch and the food was outstanding. Much more flavor than we expected for a lunch buffet. I would have been happy with any of the entrees as a dinner meal served separately. Will be back soon for dinner as well. So happy we found good Italian in the area. Also, it appears this is a locally owned establishment. The staff was very friendly and showed a true interest in us enjoying the food there. read more

Really great place. I had the lasagna and garlic bread. Very affordable too. This guy has it going on. This is one place i would visit every week if i was around. The owner is a very nice guy. read more

The food tastes like something you can buy out of the frozen food section at Kroger however we did order delivery so perhaps it tastes better in the restaurant. Was not a big fan of the pizza & pasta but the garlic bread and cannoli were good. read more

This non descript restaurant has amazing cooked to order food. We has shrimp scampi and chicken marsala both outstanding. Don't let the unbelievably low prices scare you away, thinking the food can not be very good at such low prices. Both dishes were $10.99. This restaurant caters to the local college crowd and wants to keep its prices affordable to them. Be patient after ordering because the food takes awhile to come out since it is made to order. The husband and wife team are very friendly and working hard to succeed in this new restaurant which has been open for only a few months. As a bonus if you drink wine the bottle prices are again unbelievably low $18 for a bottle of 14 hands. Try this place, you will not be disappointed. read more

Enjoyed it both times we've been in. Friendly staff, delicious food, nice atmosphere. It's priced great for quality of food! Yummy!

Was going to the Blue Danube but it was waiting list long ( they're closing their doors next month so I guess people are getting in before they do ). So we gave PV a try. Wedding soup was a bit salty but otherwise delicious and lemony. We split a single meatball and it was delicate. The chef adds lamb for that texture. My calzone was fine. The real star was the homemade sauce. Not simmered for hours but cooked quickly and fresh. I drank my cup like soup :) we got a couple of cannolis to go, chef said to try the Limoncello next time. We will! read more

This is probably the best authentic Italian restaurant on this side of town. The price is competitive and the ingredients are on par with expensive gourmet restaurants. I highly reccomend the chicken parmigiana. The chicken is perfectly cooked with fresh bread crumbs. And the red sauce is balanced so well. Worth every penny. read more

Just ordered on Uber Eats and it was a fabulous meal! Had the penne with ground beef and sausage with a side of garlic bread. I'll definitely order again! read more

Excellent, authentic Italian food! Great, casual, very comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. This was our first time here and it was excellent in every way. My husband got the Prosciutto Portabella Ravioli and I got the Chicken Picatta. Everything was perfectly cooked. The garlic bread was delicious and addictive. Our server was also the owner and was attentive and so personable. Really, really nice guy. He clearly takes pride in what he does, from the details of the food and the impeccable decorating to the cleanliness of the restaurant. We also had the Tiramisu and the Chocolate Fondant. The Chocolate Fondant looked like it would be heavy, but it was actually lighter than I thought, so moist, and topped with the most delicious chocolate ganache. The Tiramisu was simply perfect, as well. So we had two entrees, two Cokes, and we both got dessert for $32. Not a bad price at all for the amount of food and the quality. This is definitely a hidden gem worth trying. We went at around 5:00 on Friday night and they weren't busy at all. We were surprised, but they're newer to the area and I'm sure once people realize how good it is, word will spread quickly. Definitely worthy of a 5-Star rating. read more

I ordered the Chicken Picatta and a side of veggies via Grub Hub. The food arrived on time and was nice and hot. The chicken had some kind of seasoning on it that I did not care for kinda like a weird spicy taste. The side of veggies also had this same seasoning on them. The garlic bread was really good though. Probably will not order from here again. read more

Wife's law firm is across the street so since she loves pasta we decided to give this place a try. The gentlemen recommended Seafood Marcecata since that's what they are supposedly " famous for " and I also ordered the chicken piccata. I was honestly very hesitant to order being dinner time and the whole place was vacant. Nonetheless I went against my better judgement and wanted to give it a go. After placing my order the gentleman stated only 15 minutes ......... nearly 40 mins later we finally received our food. 13.00 for the seafood marcecata in the description stated tilapia fillets but in my wife's bowl was nothing but fish flakes and crumbs. The 4 pieces of mussels were over done and rubbery and so was the 2 pieces shrimp. The dish was more like an angel hair noodle soup. Seems they literally took an 1/8 of cooked angel hair pasta which was all the noodles they gave btw and dumped Campbell's vegetable soup and squirted lemon juice over it. My chicken piccata was nearly the same slightly better chicken breasts were cooked little over done but doable..... Not the best first impression just in my opinion should've been safe and tried the lasagna .. oh and the garlic bread was bitter ... read more

Wow. The Prosciutto Portobello Ravioli was..... OMG so delicious. Pizza was delicious too. They have parking in the back. Friendly staff!

Wow! Nicest and most enthusiastic restaurant owner. He's a New York transplant who knows his stuff and loves to share Italian cuisine. He was so excited to recommend the special which was goat cheese stuffed raviloli. He told us to get a meatball side to balance out sweet/savory. We also got a small gnocchi with meat sauce. The pasta is house made and amazing. The Italian wedding soup was hands down the best I've ever had...rich broth, the tiny meatballs, spinach, carrots...it was too good! I'd literally buy a vat of that soup to freeze and have it on hand! Kudos! read more

Tried this locally-owned restaurant for the first time last night with my wife. It was excellent. We ordered the chicken piccata and spaghetti with homemade meat sauce (beef and sausage). Both were fantastic and came with delicious garlic bread (which they will refill for you for free!). My wife especially appreciated the gluten-free menu due to her food allergies. The chef and owner both introduced themselves to us and were extremely friendly. We chatted for awhile about our recent trip to Italy. Do yourself a favor and do not miss this hidden gem. Fantastic food, service, and very reasonably priced. We will be coming back for sure read more

I went here for the $8.99 Saturday lunch buffet. The proprietors were welcoming and accommodating, and the service was splendid. The buffet offered a simple salad, pizza, stromboli, and pasta. The pizza crust was some of the best I have had--on the thin side but still doughy and very fresh. The stromboli was great--same crust as the pizza but stuffed with peppers, two kinds of meat, cheese, and mushrooms. But the pasta, ohhhh the pasta! When I went, they offered a tri-color tortellini in the most amazing creamy sausage meat sauce. I would go back again just for that. Prices are incredibly reasonable. I will definitely go back and would invite others to go with me. read more

Oh my gosh the eggplant parmigiana was delicious! Homemade comfort food that is priced very reasonably! Parking is in the back. Owner is also extremely friendly. You have to try this place!! :) they also deliver. If you like Italian food, you will love this place! read more
