Figlio in Grandview is such a perfect little date night spot. My boyfriend and I went on recently and split two pizzas, the hot honey and pear and Brie, which ended up being the perfect amount. The pear and brie pizza was HANDS DOWN my favorite. It's such a unique combo you don't see everywhere and it worked so well. The space itself is super cute and intimate, which made it feel a little more special without being too formal. Also have to shout out our server, she was so amicable and easy to talk to, it honestly felt like we were just chatting with a friend the whole night. Between the atmosphere, the service and the food, it's definitely a spot I'd go back to for another date night. read more

Went here recently for date night. Service was good and ambience was that of like a wine bar which was nice. It wasn't even busy but they seated everyone close together. They could do with less tables to not make it feel like you're sitting on top of each other and to make the aisles easier to traverse. My seat was bumped numerous times because the tables were so close together nobody could walk between them. The food overall was below average. For my meal, I got the chicken and red pepper sauce and my partner got the chicken in a lemon cream. Both dishes had noodles overcooked. My sauce was separating and the other one tasted like Alfredo with a squirt of lemon. The tiramisu was good, but the raspberry crème brûlée was just crème brûlée with a raspberry on the side basically. Overall, glad we tried it but doubt we come back. read more

Just finished a takeout meal from here and really disappointed. Portion size was extremely underwhelming for price paid (pasta and shrimp), sauce on picatta split and ended up being a puddle of butter instead. Packaging was haphazard and leaked. And I'm glad I showed up 15 minutes before the predicted ready time because it was already sitting there on a counter getting cold. Last time there for us I think. read more

I didn't get a chance to upload photos last time. Nov 2024 I took my mother from Chicago to the restaurant and it was a nice experience. Pear and Brie Pizza...olive oil, blue cheese, prosciutto, arugula, spicy drizzle $19 for my mom. Caesar Salad...romaine, grated parmesan, focaccia croutons $10 for me with the Roasted Pistachio and Goat Cheese ... olive oil, asparagus, red peppers, local honey drizzle $17. For dessert we had a special chocolate peanut butter pie which is not on the menu anymore for around $8. All in all a good time and meal was had. read more

Figs have a special place in Italian cuisine and so it is no surprise that this classic Italian spot has figs in their name. After this riveting fig fact, you'll expect me to get a fig dish but I might have wiffed a little on that. Getting in was surprisingly easy for a Grandview restaurant. Plus, I love how they comp an hour of parking! On the food - the real reason why I go out of my house outside of work, i was tempted by their Tuscan shrimp and scallops and it did not disappoint. Probably the best decision I've made all week. I loved the contrast of textures that the pine nuts offered. The shrimp and scallops are fresh and perfectly cooked. The pasta was a little overdone but it is still one stellar dish. In a city not known for their seafood, figlio might have delivered! read more

Had dinner here for the first time with my daughter who has been here before . It has two separate dining areas so lots of room . I did feel that some of the tables in the back room were to close together. Hard to have a private conversation. The food was great . I had the chipotle chicken pasta which was very good but alittle spicy. And my daughter had the walleye. Our server , Rachel was very nice . We had the apple crisp with ice cream for dessert. read more

Easily 5 stars. I have never been disappointed anytime I have gone here. Outstanding! My compliments to the chef and Eva our server. She did a wonderful job not only making us feel welcome but recommended drinks and dinner. Extremely friendly and a lovely person. I ordered the Lake Erie walleye and talk about perfect! The recommended wine was the villa Barbi Italian red blend. Such a perfect winner to compliment my meal. Thank you everyone for creating a special place in Ohio. You're doing it right, keep it up! read more

I heard great things about Figlio & was so excited to try. Unfortunately, my expectations were not met. Ordered a couple entrées for pick up and was sorely disappointed with my pizza. I got the Margherita plus plus pizza and it came out cold, without the balsamic glaze. I arrived just as the order was finished and I could understand if it was busy and perhaps had been sitting awhile, however, all the servers were sitting at the bar and it was dead inside. I included a picture of how it's advertised online vrs what was served. read more

We decided to try Figlio out for Restaurant Week. The atmosphere was quaint and cozy and they had a great selection of wines. The Restaurant Week menu was salad, entrée and dessert for $30 which was a great deal. I really enjoyed my arugula, spiinach and goat cheese salad (the flavor profiles were great!), but the pacing of the next course was frustrating as we began our salads, the meal immediately came out. The prosciutto and artichoke entrée was delicious as well with a light garlic sauce over fresh pasta with spinach and tomatoes. I finished with the crème brulee which was the star of the show! I liked Figlio. I don't think they have a happy hour, but I'd definitely give them another shot. read more

The food here is always a win. And the service was great. Thank you for taking good care of us, Alyssa! We went for Restaurant Week. For starters I enjoyed a very dirty Tito's martini with extra Gorgonzola stuffed olives. I had the Caesar salad, pasta with chicken and red pepper cream sauce, and the tiramisu. The Caesar salad was a bit bland I admit - it needed more garlic. But the lettuce was super cold which I love. The pasta was amazing. Super creamy with plenty of sauce for the bread which they serve with a yummy olive oil and herb mixture. The olive oil is a very good quality - bright and green. The tiramisu - WOW! The best I've had. They make everything they serve from scratch there. But the tiramisu is delivered from New York City bc it's that good. It's worth going here just for the tiramisu. We will Be back soon! read more

Pizza-centric but don't sleep on the bread, wine and dessert. Got a table for two on a Friday night around 8:00 without a reservation. I was surprised at the large size of the place because you only see one half of the dining room when walking in the front door. We sat in the second room with the bar, and the dim lights set a perfect date night ambiance. Upon being seated we received a plate of their focaccia and oil, and it stands out in a great way against other Italian restaurants. From there we had three glasses of wine at about $10-$11 per glass. The fall harvest pizza had a spicy kick (as described on the menu) and was solid. I liked prosciutto hot honey pizza a little better, but I feel like I would have liked any of their pizzas due to the not too crisp/not too thin thin flatbread crust. Finished up with the voodoo brownie and tiramisu. Tiramisu was good; voodoo brownie topped with ice cream and drenched in chocolate was great. Lastly the service was outstanding. Very nice and attentive, and they smoothly handled the gift certificate that we used for a portion of the tab. Grandview Ave has many restaurants to choose from between 1st and 5th Aves, but Figlio will not disappoint. read more

Loved my experience here! We had the margarita pizza, chicken diablo, and lemon chicken with Parmesan cream pasta. I think the pizza had to be my favorite, but everything was delicious! They also offered complementary bread and oil wish was amazing! Knocked off one star ONLY because I wish the appetizer list was better! They only offer salads as an appetizer. I'd suggest adding calamari, arancini, meatballs, etc! read more

Everyone is really friendly. Any business should give a heads up if something costs extra. The gf bread that was brought out wasn't good and couldn't really soak up the oil. Then you get the bill and it's an extra $4 for something you didn't know cost extra. The meal tonight for both of us wasn't great and that didn't help. read more

First time here for restaurant week. I loved the space. It was super cozy and warmly lit. I was overall impressed by the food. The bread and oil for the table is remarkably yummy and addictive. Salad was fresh and pasta was properly cooked. Unfortunately my tiramisu was frozen solid in the middle. I also found our server to be detached and seemingly annoyed to be there. But I'd give them another shot to try the regular menu. It would be a fantastic date night spot. read more

My wife and I were regulars at the Riverside location for years before Covid and real estate values killed it. We took an old friend to the Grandview location to relive the good times before our relocation to PA. The feel was very familiar, and we enjoyed the evening. I always order a glass of whatever wine special they have, and the Italian red did not disappoint. I was a little disappointed to see that the menu was a little smaller that the Riverside restaurant's, and my all-time-favorite dish (mushroom and roasted chicken ravioli) was not available. I was able to find something else, and enjoyed the lemon chicken with parmesan cream pasta. My wife had the chicken diablo, and our friend went with the classic spaghetti and meatballs. We all loved our meals, deserts, and drinks. Like the Riverside location, the staff was super friendly and attentive, and the place was very clean and bright. They were doing a nice business for a chilly Tuesday, and the buzz was good. We will miss Figlio's when we move. A solid 5! read more

Very pretentious. Stopped for a glass of wine, was hesitantly sat at bar. Poor service. Never refilled water, even after ordering second glass. Everyone got bread/oil, except me. Clientele appears old and established with servers. I'd skip for somewhere I'm appreciated. read more

We went during Grandview hop, which made the restaurant super busy. My friend ordered the Chicken Diablo and it wasn't too spicy. I ordered the Pear and Brie pizza. It was really tasty. It comes with blue cheese which normally I wouldn't be into but it definitely added to it. We sat outside which was nice and relaxing. read more

Visiting the area and Figlio was recommended. Went earlier than reservation and had the option of the bar or immediate seating. We opted for our table. Katie was our server. What a delight! Enjoyed the character and ambiance of the restaurant. We opted for inside seating but outside is also offered. Started with a drink. The espresso martini was super. I had the Tuscan shrimp and scallops. Serving size was perfect. The flavors were a treat and scallops and shrimp prepared perfectly. No to go boxes as all the entrees were finished. Couple of desserts were ordered. Chocolate mousse and strawberry shortcake. Both were awesome. The mousse was so rich and full of chocolate flavor. Must try for Italian lovers. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night for dinner. They have been around for over 20 years and for good reason. We started with the cote du Rhône wine special, the bartender gave us a taste before we ordered. They brought the bread with olive oil over almost instantly, the herbs were a great touch. We shared the smoked salmon pizza special and the chicken Diablo pasta. The wood fired pizza was wonderful, crispy on the bottom, but still light and airy on top. The pasta was the perfect blend of creamy and not too spicy, chicken was very tender. Will for sure come back read more

I went to Figlio during Columbus Restaurant week and had a great experience. I made a reservation prior by calling which I strongly suggest as it was busy but maybe because of frustrating because I had been there one time before. My friend and I ordered the three-course meal which included a fantastic salad, Spinach/Arugula Salad Gomes sprouts with vinaigrette, pear, honey glazed pecans, chevre, pickled red onions. It was super delicious and highly recommended by me! I also got to try a seltzer that was in a can, Seventh Son's Guava-Lime Seltzer. It was such a good mix with the food For my main course, I had a pasta dish that I cannot find the name of as the restaurant week menu is now expired. Everything that I had was super good and I will 100% be back. Here's also a picture of my crème brûlée, my friends Tiramisu and her pizza. read more

Great service, ambiance, & excellent food! Parking lot next door is convenient. Definitely recommend!

Went with a group of friends and had an enjoyable time. The server was friendly and very outgoing which made the experience that much more enjoyable. I had a blackened chicken pasta dish. It was very good with the appropriate amount of spices though it was hard to discern the chicken. It was in very small pieces which was a little disappointing, I wish there was more. All of my party ordered pasta dishes but saw the pizza at adjacent tables and definitely want to go back and try one. They looked really w. read more

This was my first time at Figlio's and I enjoyed it! The atmosphere was nice but a little worn down, like it needed a new coat of paint and updated wall art, but it still felt like a well established local Italian restaurant in the best way possible. Our server was great and brought us additional bread and oil/herbs which was nice. Our table of 3 kept going through it so quickly. She was also accommodating and able to provide us modified oil/herbs with only select herbs for one of the people at the table. I ordered a glass of cabernet and they did a nice HEALTHY pour which was a nice surprise! There was no cheating out on the drinks thats for sure. I ordered the prosciutto hot honey pizza which was a great crisp to it. The crust was a bit much and took over a lot of the pizza itself, but overall the flavor was good on and I ate the entire thing no problem. I wish it had a bit more hot honey on it too since it lacked on that heat for me. For dessert I ordered the walnut brownie with ice cream. It was great! The brownie was nice and warm and a bit gooey which is how I prefer it. The only part that was a bit odd were the "sticks" they added. I think it was for aesthetics as they weren't edible so it was a bit weird to even bother with those. read more

I posted a previous review of Figlio Upper Arlington and this is my review of the Grandview location. I was a long time patron of Figlio UA from its opening until its unfortunate closure when the property being sold to a developer. While the UA location was open my trips to Grandview were infrequent but enjoyable so, while a much longer drive, we've made Grandview a regular stop with the UA closure. Fortunately Michael, the UA manager, also moved to Grandview and now operates the location. The service and food remain excellent and the Grandview interior has a homier vibe. On our most event visit my girlfriend ordered her usual mushroom truffle pizza and I had the lemon chicken in Parmesan cream. Both were once again excellent. The latter has become a new favorite as the pasta and sauce are consistently good. I've had probably every pasta dish and many of the pizzas on the menu and always pleased. Particular favorites include spicy blackened chicken, chicken diablo and chicken w/pepper cream sauce. The per glass wines are well chosen and reasonably priced as are wines by the bottle. I'd be remiss if I overlooked the service. Management is diligent in selecting personable servers who are well trained in providing an excellent experience. That applies to the bar servers as well. Figlio deserves a look if you've not been there. read more

Came here on a Friday night after a long week of work. We walked and got seated right away.(Thankfully, we had reservations because it was PACKED) The Grandview restaurant is pretty small, although it's a cool little spot. The oven is out in the oven so it makes sense it was hot. The food was very good! Pasta dishes were smaller than we thought but the taste made up for it. The wood fired pizza is unbeatable, super good flavor! Great dinner option if you're in the area. read more

Figlio is a perfect example of a Ma & Pa joint that has become widely known throughout Columbus over the years. Their speciality is Italian food and they're quite proficient in it! If you want pasta, this is 100% the place the go. We got their Diablo Chicken Pasta, Peter And Laurie's Favorite Pizza without the Roma tomatoes, and the French Quarter Ice Cream Torte. Like I said, the pasta was outstanding. Obviously, it's on the spicier side so be warned! The pasta tastes to fresh, the chicken is very well cooked and seasoned, and the sauce and spice they use are perfectly proportioned. Their pizzas seem to all be single serving pizzas. They're not bad. Honestly, it wasn't what I had in mind. The caramelized onions through me off at first, but I learned to enjoy it. Again, the chicken on the pizza was great. It's woodfire-style so it was a bit on the crispier side. It wasn't bad. Just not what I was expecting or craving. It's not the place I'd go for pizza, but definitely for pastas. Alas, the dessert. It was phenomenal. It was a square shaped item with a nice, dense Oreo crust with chocolate ice cream and a cream based topping with chocolate drizzle. I had hints of hazelnut. It's pretty much coffee ice cream with Oreos. Phenomenal. There's plenty of seating indoor and outdoor so definitely able to enjoy whichever vibe you are feeling. The staff is great too! Super nice, friendly, down to eat. 4.5/5 for sure. read more

I had heard great things about this place! Placed an order for carry out on a Monday night and really enjoyed our experience. My husband said the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered a pizza (truffled mushroom), two pastas, and a Caesar salad. They also threw in bread which was delicious and soaked up all the oily goodness in the pastas. Mushroom pizza - this had delicious flavor but was a little crispy for my liking. I personally like a thicker crust vs thin but I can hardly ever complain about a mushroom + truffle pizza. Baked eggplant with chicken - okay this was an incredible dish. The chicken was so soft that we thought it was fish at first. The last thing you want in your pasta is some dry chicken and this was the complete opposite. So delicious and juicy. The eggplant was delicious... wish there were more pieces in there! Tuscan shrimp and scallop - this was angel hair pasta and my favorite out of the dishes but I'm partial to seafood. Scallops were seared perfectly. This was on the oily side but so tasty with the bread. Caesar - good but not too remarkable! I did enjoy the dressing. Definitely excited to come back and eat in person sometime! We didn't get to eating the food until probably an hour after it was all prepared (yet so good) so I'm sure in person fresh would have been 10x better. read more

Came here with my friend on Thursday for a quick dinner after walking past it. The restaurant was clean and service was great. The menu had a decent amount of options. I ordered the Tuscan red blend wine and the chipotle chicken pasta for dinner. The wine was great but the pasta was just okay. It wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't somewhere that I'd run to go back to soon. It's possible I ordered the wrong thing but I think it's a pretty safe option for a quick dinner but wasn't my absolute favorite dinner. read more

I came to Figlio for restaurant week back in the summer, but just got around to writing this review. Overall I thought it was not terrible, but not great either. My friend and I came for the three-course menu and were seated promptly upon arrival. I got the caesar salad, the linguine with prosciutto in it (don't remember what it's called), and the tiramisu. The caesar salad was really ordinary and not memorable. What disappointed me was the entree, the linguine. It was very greasy, almost as if every bite was just coated in a layer of oil. The prosciutto was salty enough on its own, but the pasta was salty as well, making the whole dish quite salty. The redeeming factor was the tiramisu, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant itself had a great vibe to it, with lots of people chatting and enjoying themselves. Parking, however, was an issue. There's only street parking around this area for Figlio, and on a busy evening, those spots are extremely hard to find. Service was fine, though I recall wanting more water at a point in time and had to wave down our server for it. For the price, the food was just alright. Based on all of this, I'm not sure I would come again. Food: 2.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 (4.5, -.5 for parking) Service: 3/5 Price: 3.5/5 Overall: 3 read more

This is a favorite local restaurant, moderately priced for my wallet and a welcoming comfortable feel. The first thing you notice when you walk in the door is a distinctive decoration - on the wall opposite the door there is always a group of something hanging from nails and wires. Sometimes it is flowers, other times it is other things. Very unique, distinctive, and it defines the space. The signature dishes on the menu bar are brick oven pizzas, and pasta dishes. Thank contemporary American Italianesque cooking. My absolute favorite amongst the pasta is the Chicken Diablo. Not too spicy, so it doesn't burn your face and mouth off, but the correct amount so you can adequately taste the pepper and feel it's warmth in the pasta sauce. I'm also a fan of the Five Cheese & Basil Pizza. The staff are friendly and communicative. And it appears that the restauranteurs have a bit of an archetype (and I mean this in a very good way) for the folks who are selected to work there. The employees know their products and are able to talk about it and not simply recite menu selections by rote. read more

Figlio - Italian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We've had a couple of meals at Figlio over the past month, and one was excellent, and one was just "fine." A few weeks ago we walked in without a reservation and got pizzas, and both were truly excellent -- mine had truffled mushrooms, and was quite memorable. Likewise, the table bread with olive oil (provided gratis) was perhaps the most delicious table bread either of us had ever had... On our most recent visit yesterday, we also went in early on a Friday evening without a reservation, and were seated quickly without issue. We decided to try something other than pizza, so my girlfriend ordered the drunken shrimp, and I ordered the shrimp scampi. The food came out very quickly -- perhaps five minutes after we ordered it -- which was a surprise. Unfortunately, neither of us loved our entrees. My girlfriend's drunken shrimp was quite spicy, which was not mentioned on the entree description (i.e. is vodka sauce ever spicy?), while my scampi was quite bland and watery, and the shrimp was quite rubbery. I understand that they must use frozen shrimp, which is fine, but these shrimp certainly weren't appetizing, and the scampi itself lacked flavor. Additionally, it was peppered with cherry tomatoes -- something I don't like -- which were certainly not in the entree description. All told, one great experience and one so-so experience warrants a third visit at some point. Service, decor, atmosphere, and price are all great, so we'll know to simply avoid their pasta and stick to their delicious pizzas. read more
