    Outstanding. We booked this for graduation because all our usual spots were booked. The storefront looked a little tired as we drove up but that was my last worry. The inside was dark but really nice, the wait staff was super helpful, and the food was amazing. There were so many options and we had a large party who tried everything. My son is a strict celiac and they nailed it…he had tons of options and he didn’t get sick. Well done to this little place. It’s now permanently on our list.

    The gin featured drink was fantastic. The chicken piccata was good but could use more capers. The make your own pasta bowl was a huge portion of gnocchi. Our server was great and I like the small, family restaurant feel.

    Food was not good. My drink was excellent. Veal and chicken was tough. 4 dollar charge for extra rolls ugh. Also menu stated a 20% gratuity would be added if you didn’t tip. Tasteless

    Trattoria RomaResponded on April 8, 2023Hello Mr. Howser. We are sorry to hear about your dinners. Both dishes were popular on Wednesday and we did not receive any other complaints. Chef is checking the product. As you know, we give a complimentary basket of rolls with the meals. The $3 is to cover the cost of additional bread and butter. As stated on the receipt, there is a 20% tip added if you DO NOT leave a signed copy for us to close out the bill with. That is very different from what you stated.

    Wait staff told us to wait and sit in an area to wait for a table in main room however was never moved- we sat at a high top table facing a wall

    Trattoria RomaResponded on April 7, 2023We are sorry about the miscommunication. Sometimes, if you start ordering with the bartender, the hostess thinks you are happy dining at the side bar table. I will speak to her and make sure she checks back in moving forward. Thank you for taking the time to make us aware of this.

    Second visit . Food was outstanding. My only minor complaint was the salad was over dressed and the herbs in the sauce were too dominant. I tasted a lot of rosemary? I prefer more oregano and basil and I didn’t taste those herbs . Personal preferences of course .

    Trattoria RomaResponded on April 7, 2023Thank you for the kind words! Next visit, just let us know about the herbs and we will adjust the preparation. Almost everything is made to order so we can accomodate this type of request very easily. Thank you for letting us know :)

    Our first trip to this restaurant and it was pretty much hit or miss when it came to the food. On the plus side, we were happy to find a number of vegetarian options. The complimentary bread basket was wonderful. The beet caprese was okay - a tad bit too vinegary for our liking. The spaghetti with vegan bolognese sauce was pretty good and so too were the eggplant parmigiana and angel hair pasta with lemon pesto sauce. We ended up sending back the cheese ravioli as it was extremely salty (& soupy “sauce”) and had it replaced with a second plate of the eggplant parmigiana. We split a tiramisu to finish the meal. Service and ambience was good. Overall, an average experience.

    The service was very good and the staff was very nice. I loved the ambience of the restaraunt and parking was very easy food: the apps - pretty good. we ordered the stuffed meatball and the arancini. Both apps were great! old fashioned - worse one i’ve ever had in my life. It was watered down and tasted like sugar. i’m a light weight and usually am pretty drunk off a single drink but i felt nothing. entree: i would have rather had anything else. my gf and i both did not eat or meals paid and left. my chicken was all gristle and both meals tasted bland. 0/10 would recommend.

    I had chicken parmigiana. The chicken was so hard, I couldn’t cut through it with a knife. It also wasn’t crispy. It was soggy hard dry chicken. There’s better authentic Italian food in Columbus .

    I had never been here before and after reading all of the fabulous reviews, I had pretty high expectations, and all of them were met AND exceeded! Every worker we encountered was so kind, from the hostess who sat us, our waitress, Michelle, and the person who came around and kept our waters full. Someone who didn't come in til after we ate even wished me a happy birthday! The food was incredible from start to finish - bread, appetizer, main course, and desserts. You can tell it's all crafted with care and made to order. I can't wait to come back here and to share about our amazing experience here with others. Thank you all!

    Some of the pasta is homemade for the restaurant. The linguine was very good. The service was attentive. 2 of our 6 meals were not the right temperature and they quickly took care of reheating them.
