Best italian restaurant in Columbus, Ohio (OH) 2024

Passed by so many times and never went in. Well today was the day and it was well worth it. Just the wife and I so we didn't have to worry about anyone else which was nice in and of itself. We went in at 5pm on a Monday and it was immediate seating. The waitress was wonderful and everything was very fast.... probably because they were not busy. The bread at the start was hard on the outside and soft on the inside and I thought it was wonderful. Wife prefers softer outside. The food was great. I got the Brio pasta and wide got pork chops. We ended up swapping but both were really good. Ordered the pasta with not mushrooms though. Overall a great meal and would definitely go back. For two of us with just water to drink it was a $52 meal though. Good date night....maybe not so great for us and the 4 small kids. ~Scott

I adore this place. The staff is always welcoming and the food is AMAZING. The chicken kalankal, the chapati, the soup (OMG) and tea when you are dining in-house are free and the BEST ever. The salmon is an amazing proportions and so tender. Plus they serve the most amazing pineapple juice and bananas with your meal for free as well. The green sauce....so fresh and deliciously spicy. Such good people to dine with! Thank you Leban!!! ~Melisa
