Don't know where to start with this, as I don't post reviews very often. I travel for work three of the four weeks out of the month, and I can tell you hands-down, this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. It honestly felt like sitting down with family. We dealt directly with the owner, and the food was absolutely incredible. We didn't have a reservation, and I completely understood that, being a small restaurant, they might have to turn us away. Instead, they made room for us, and we had an amazing dinner. My wife had the cheese ravioli, and I had the tour, which included fresh homemade pasta, Alfredo, amazing meatballs, and incredible lasagna. Everything was fantastic, and the desserts were just as impressive. Our waitress was incredible--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The owner also checked in with us several times throughout the meal to make sure everything was good. That personal attention really made us feel welcome. What really stood out to me was how fresh and personal everything felt. They use fresh ingredients and change the menu instead of becoming overly commercialized. You can tell there is genuine pride and passion behind the food. More restaurants need to be like this. It was personal, welcoming, and genuinely memorable. We will absolutely be back--and I'll gladly detour during my travels just to make sure I can stop here again. Highly recommend! read more

The menu changes periodically, but I started with the fried calamari! It was served with their in-house marinara. The calamari was fried lightly and was very tender. I followed it with their caesar salad and fresh bread n' butter. The caesar salad was not a traditional Caesar dressing (i.e., anchovies and Dijon based) but was instead a more subtle, oil based vinaigrette. It was a nice twist and it was served with fresh, warm croutons which really took it over the top. For my entree, I had the penne vodka with chicken which was delicious - well-seasoned and tasted wonderful. The atmosphere is very old-school, laid back, and ambient with low lighting. Overall, I'd highly recommend at least a visit to this place! Definitely worth it in my opinion. read more

Angottis Restaurant is the whole package. The chef (Ingrid) love her. Best Italian food in Indiana. A definite must try if you're not a regular. The location is great, the service A-1 and the food is fantastic. If you know real italian food you'll love this place. We love Angottis (Edinbur read more

Food was awesome Service was excellent Ambiance felt like old Italian restaurant. Wonderful time. read more

Three stars is a bit liberal. The lasagna needed some seasoning, salt to start with. We ordered the toasted ravioli but were told someone bought a large pan.that was disappointing. The chicken Parmesan was soggy and in no way crispy. We spent better than $100 on the meal honestly could have had better at Olive Garden. read more

In town for a work meeting and was excited to be treated to a local restaurant. Angottis recently moved into this location and secured their liquor license. Tables must be reserved as food is prepped by the owner and her team. Our table was upfront, right as you stepped into the restaurant so we didn't get to experience much of the space. Most tables are four tops, but our group was larger and I spotted a round table with more seats. We started with bottles of Chianti and one of each appetizer: mozzarella sticks, fried ravioli and bruschetta. Really good! Each entree came with a (very) small Caesar salad. The croutons are ... yum. For my entree I opted for the spaghetti and meatballs. The thought of seasoned red sauce sounded good but this dish didn't pack much flavor. It came with two meatballs that were also a bit bland and a softer texture than I'd prefer. I finished about half and didn't care to take the rest home for later. A friend shared a cheese ravioli with me which came in cream sauce. If I visited again I'd try this dish instead for dinner. Cannolis were shareable with 3 of them and the tiramisu came as large slices, like cake. Again, I wanted more flavor, especially the richness of coffee in the tiramisu. Service was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately it was extremely warm and it was a distraction during our meal, with someone mentioning it about every 15 minutes. We thought our spot near the front windows and soda fountain machine might have affected us, but upon leaving I overheard another family saying their experience was the same. I'm hoping in the coming days this issue can be addressed. Street parking available plus a few patio tables give an outdoor option. read more

This small intimate restaurant is such a pleasure. Definitely one to try if you haven't. True Italian cuisine. The owner and chef, Miss Ingrid, is very pleasant and interesting to talk to. The chicken parmigiana and the spaghetti and meatballs are my choice...so far. The elegant desserts are not only beautiful but so delicious. read more

Good experience and great food, and with a little more time, I'm sure they will find their groove & work out any kinks. It is reservation-only, so when we called to put our names in, the only time slot available was much later than we would've liked but we took it anyways. When we got there, the whole restaurant was empty except for 2 other parties. I only saw 3 workers -- 2 waitresses and a chef. The chef came out to seat every person which is sweet but seemed to do it more out of necessity for being short staffed. The 2 waitresses were nice but I think need to work out a lot of kinks. Their uniforms seemed to be a hassle (short flapper dresses with purses). They both seemed to be really stressed. The food was all amazing! You can tell it is cooked in house. Everything is fresh & flavorful. That is the most important part of any dining experience!!! We did witness them accepting walk-in customers who had no reservations so maybe it's not a big deal if you don't call ahead. read more

Small restaurant with an unusual decor. Our server was Lilly, and she was attentive and fun to talk to. Dressed in a 1920 era flapper dress. Food was fine if simply prepared. Wife said her lasagna could have used a bit more spice in the meat. Ceaser salad and bread accompanied the meal. Portions were large. Simple menus, pretty basic Italian dishes but still plenty to choose from. Will return. read more

This is an awesome intimate Italian restaurant!! We had the dish called Broadway Joe (seared shrimp with Angel hair pasta and an incredible vodka sauce) and Lasagna (you know, like lasagna but better than any lasagna you have ever had)! We can't wait to come back! Please Note: Reservations are required. read more

This was my take home and finish meal this evening. A friend and I did not want to cook this evening. I called Chef Ingrid and ordered: uncooked fettuccine, 8 meatballs, vodka sauce, Caesar salad, cheese garlic bread, fresh grated cheese. As requested it was unconstructed. We enjoyed our salad while everything was heating up and pasta cooking! What a relaxing meal after a hectic day! Thank you Chef Ingrid read more

We had dinner at Angottis tonight, and it was excellent. We had reservations for four people. We were seated immediately and she took our order for drinks and the meals that we wanted. This is a small restaurant and reservations are required in the evenings (Tuesday through Saturday- 4:00 to 9:00.) The salad and bread came first followed by our entrees. The food was prepared excellently and it was delicious. Our dining experience took about an hour from beginning to end. I had the chocolate cake for dessert and it was wonderful. I would highly recommended this restaurant for lunch or dinner. Lunch hours 11:30 to 2:30 Tues thru Friday. This place is located at 217 Washington Street, Columbus, Indiana. Call (812) 375-0686. Cost: $$-$$$ read more

The best meal we had in Columbus. We were in town for work and saw the number of positive reviews for the restaurant and thought we'd give it a try. The restaurant was booked for an event but the owner/chef was willing to seat us since we were from out of town. Loved the food, the ambience and the chef! The restaurant has a very Italian and Godfather theme, right down to the brass knuckles holding down the check. Lots of little touches that made this dining experience unique. read more

My lovely and talented bride found Angottis while we were passing through Columbus. We love Italian so both agreed to check them out, especially after all the 5 star reviews. My heart sank when we got to the door and the sign said "Reservations Required". we walked in hoping for the best. Both servers greeted us and said they would check with the Chef as she plans her meals for the evening by how many reservations she has. so if you get turned away but the place has vacant tables, thats why. It's not because you're special. Both servers dressed in flapper dresses (Carla had just made hers the day before), it was a fun ambiance without being cheesy. After the properly portioned Caesar salad with *OMG* freshly toasted seasoned croutons (!!) I had the Lasagne and the lovely and talented had the T.H. Stein cheese ravioli, both excellent. Let me go back to those croutons. Freashly buttered, seasoned and toasted those are the most amazing croutons. You know how frustrating it is to try to stab a crouton into your fork only to have it split into 6 pieces so instead you try to scoop it with lettuce and juggle the crouton all the way to your mouth? These are crispy on the outside with a tender center you can easily get your fork into. Amazing. If you're still reading this just stop and call them for a reservation. read more

Excellent pasta for sure! Homey vibes to the atmosphere and loved that the chef came out to check in with us about our meal.

The food was delicious- I had lobster ravioli and my husband had lasagna. But the service was awful! It took forever to order our food and then another long wait again to get salads. Then my salad didn't have any dressing so I had to ask for her to bring some. I had to ask for bread twice! And the restaurant was not crowded - only six tables for two waitresses! We paid $50 for our meal for two people nd should receive better service for that expense! read more

The shrimp scampi and crab ravioli tasted amazing! The amount of food though left a little to be desired. The service was amazing and we never felt like we were without a server. The tiramisu is absolutely delicious! The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because it felt like the air conditioning was busted because half way through our meal, my wife and I were sweating from the heat. read more

I truly wanted to love this little restaurant but the food definitely fell short. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs , my husband had the lasagna. Spaghetti was over cooked , wasn't drained all the way , meatballs just sub par. The lasagna lacked flavor. Our server was excellent!! Probably won't try again, we will drive to Indy for our next Italian meal. read more

Absolutely wonderful, the ambiance dark and inviting, Dale and the other server were so nice.. The pasta was perfection. We left knowing this place is a new favorite and Dale felt like a good friend we've known for years. read more

I took my daughter and 4 of her friends to Angottis for a little "galentine" dinner. From the moment we walked in until we left, we were treated like family by the staff. Wonderful service and delicious food. We got lobster ravioli, chicken parm, fettuccini tortellini, ravioli and mozzarella sticks. Every single item was delicious. We will be back for sure! read more

Located in the Elk's Club building, Angotti's is a hidden gem! I've been wanting good Italian food and amazing Italian food is what we were served! The handmade ravioli had the tastiest ricotta blend stuffing under a ladleful of beautiful homemade marinara sauce capped with mozzarella cheese. The alfredo was the richest, creamiest sauce I've ever tasted and the noodles were prepared perfectly. Both meals served with a Caesar salad with buttery homemade croutons and fresh bread. Angotti's has earned it's spot on our favorite local restaurant list with just one visit. Food is excellent and service was attentive and friendly on a Saturday night. read more

What a happy surprise to come across during our travels. The food was great. I had the T.H. Stein cheese ravioli with a mushroom cream sauce. My husband had the lasagne and both entrees were delicious. Served with a salad (perfect size) and bread & butter. The atmosphere was unique and fun--1920s prohibition style. Reminded me of dancing at the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul, Minnesota, if you're into that style and era in history. The waitresses were outstanding and friendly. They wore beautiful flapper dresses that were so fun! Music was on point. Decor equally on point. We met the chef on our way out, who was kind and welcoming. It was such a pleasure to dine here. I wish they were closer to our home! *Highly* recommended! read more

This place is awesome!! It used to be inside the elks club building but recently changed locations. The new spot is GREAT! It's downtown right near the commons. The inside is clean and neatly appointed. The servers were warm and helpful and fun! Everyone was very attentive and professional. The owner (who chatted with me briefly to answer some questions about a larger order I wanted) is pleasant and super accommodating. Last but absolutely most importantly the FOOD! The meatballs are SO good. I make sure to order extra to-go every time I visit. Other favorite dishes are the Broadway Joe and Chicken Parmesan read more

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic Valentine's Day dinner and the food, service and atmosphere were incredible! HIGHLY recommend!!

Food is amazing! Service is top notch! Unbelievable that this place is in Columbus! So authentic!

Food is amazing. The owner is such a great host, she holds the fort down on her own and is still personable to all she meets. Big fan of her and her food. Definitely recommend. read more

The food was amazing. Being from out of town we didn't know reservations were required but we had a starving wrestler that just had weigh ins and they found a way to accommodate us. We really enjoyed the quaint place most stellar in the kitchen. read more

It's cozy, clean, good service and good to excellent food. It's a regular thing for us and never been disappointed.

I normally post pics with my posts, this restaurant felt so classy, and comfortably formal, that I felt it would be awkward. The owner has done an amazing job of dressing up the former establishment (Special Dogs). A very formal looking decor, in early Italian Mobster photos (the table lamp is a pistol to match the era!). Quiet---probably 12 tables. Menu with appetizers, entree and desert. Liquor license is applies for. Young waitress had moved here from a fast food background but was VERY polite, proper, and right on top of things witht the order. We were party of 4 and had fried ravioli, casear salad (came with the meal with fresh, warm croutons), chicken parmesan for the ladies, seared scallops for me and Broadway Joe (seared shrimp in rosa sauce and basil over angel hair pasta.) Desert was tiramisu (x 2) and house-made cheesecake. The other option was fried cheese cake. With reservations, our waitress said our table was "yours for the evening" though if spots open, I understand they would seat people later. Overall, a brilliant business plan by the owner, (though I don't recall her name), who is also the interior designer, chef, and did an incredible job training a young lady (our waitress was Lily--I just recalled!) to be a delightful hostess, conversationist, and server. We will definitely return and would invite you just to come to town to experience a delightful evening across the street from the county courthouse, in downtown Columbus, IN. read more

How to describe the experience... disappointing and sad. Disappointed: I thought I was about to see Gordon Ramsay to enter the room like he does in kitchen nightmares to stop that from happening! Sad: ordered spaghetti and tomato sauce and meatballs, easy, right? nope I got angel hair pasta which were swimming in water with a below average sauce (probably grocery store one, or at least taste like a cheap one), meatballs tasteless, not seasoned properly. My wife ordered lasagna, same thing, vaguely seasoned, dry meat (didn't even think that was possible to accomplish). Won't return there, and recommend to avoid. Friendly waitress though. read more

Angotti's! Wow what a hidden gem. Walked here with a friend and loved the ambience immediately. Sinatra on the house radio, walls with photos of famous gangsters and pistol shaped lamps on each table. For lunch, it's a seat yourself and grab a plate kind of restaurant. There is no menu but take it or leave it for what's on the menu. When we stopped by there was fresh bread, fresh salad, two kinds of tortellini, baked pasta and fresh cannoli. It's a one or two person operation but literally the best pasta and sauce I've ever had. Confession, I'm not well versed in Italian but I've never, ever had anything like it. This includes eating at some "Little Italy" places in bigger cities. Hilariously, the bill is brought to you with a pair of brass knuckles on top of them. So creative. Only one mildly negative thing to say. Our bill had a convenience charge on it. It is charged when you use a credit or debit card to pay. I understand it costs money to businesses to use plastic. We had cash and could have paid but didn't want to make a big deal about it. Still, don't like to see these charges. We will be back and to make reservations for dinner. Can't wait! I want to see their version of chicken parm or lasagna. read more
