Extremely late post (2024) Looking at my pics, trying to figure out why we haven't been back here yet. This is the best food I've ever eaten inside of a casino, for a fact. One of the best steaks I've eaten from any restaurant. Good drinks and great service. Not the biggest place but it seems just right. I will be back. read more

I was here for the Horse races, first time eating in here! The meatballs were delicious! Shouldn't have eaten the bratwurst at the races so I could have eaten more here. Atlas the meatballs and the glass of grey goose were great! The service was great as well The bartenders checked in periodically and made sure I was taken care of. Honestly, they could have done a better job at selecting better chairs and the overall restaurant layout. I've been a designer for over 20yrs now so my brain automatically sees possibilities. The meatballs tasted even better the next day ;) read more

Guy Fieri's Trattoria - Meatballs!! - Italian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I feel guilty writing what I thought of the food because I had a credit and nearly got it for free. However if someone is going to pay the full amount the kitchen needs to know there were issues. The service was good. Kennedy did a great job. She brought us all that we asked for. Note that there is no salt, pepper or sugar on the table if you use any of that ask for it all at once. The wedding soup came out barely warm. We thought they could just pop it in the microwave. They have no microwave and it had to be remade and it came out a little warmer but still not hot and last night it was cold outside and the Casino is cold. I got the Chicken Marsala. It was good but not delicious. My husband got the pork chop, he liked it. He said it was very good . It was our anniversary so we did get dessert . We got the cannoli. There were 3 flavors but hard to taste the different flavors, they were weak. The cream nearly tasted the same in all 3. All in all I recommend investing in a microwave , soup would be easy to warm up. read more

Had dinner at Guys this evening. We've been there a handful of times and it was always amazing! BUT, tonight it wasn't so great. For starters we had reservations for 7:30. We got seated and 45 minutes later we got our appetizers. Just the cheese bread and meatballs. 25 minutes later our meals came out. Keep in mind that I had talked the place up because it was one of our more expensive nights out and we took family. We all ordered lasagna. Again, it's always been delicious. This time it was really dry and we all had to get extra sauce. And they charged us for it. Waiter was good. But the long wait then the dry meals not so good. We will try again in the future. Al's the restroom was really dirty. read more

I wanted to visit one of Guy Fieri's restaurants and was a bit reluctant to go to a casino based location, but was pleasantly surprised. My daughter and I came in on a Thursday night for dinner. Was promptly seated and served by the kind Mahdi. He had a very good understanding of the menu and was very polite. Service took a bit longer than I would have expected based on the sparse crowd, but I was in no hurry so no harm, no foul. Started out with a blood orange margarita and smoked old fashioned. Both were very good. For an appetizer we ordered the cheesy garlic bread that was served with a hot marinara. It was delicious! Daughter had the spicy penne with chicken. It was in a vodka sauce that was to die for. I had the chicken parm with spaghetti (first time I've seen pasta offered as an ADD with chicken parm) in a spicy arrabbiata sauce. My biggest complaint with pasta and/or chicken parm is not enough red sauce. That was not an issue here, and it was perfectly seasoned with plenty of it. It was also pounded nice and thin, with enough for 2 meals. The chicken was a bit tough, dry, and lacked a tremendous amount of cheese, but the red sauce made it all worth while. We capped the night off with the cannoli sampler, which was delicious read more

I will admit we ended up dining here because we booked a hotel room not knowing it was a rasino and nowhere to eat within 20 minutes in the car- road trip and booked the room in the app while driving . Only two restaurants walking distance and it was Monday so the brewery was closed. Guy Fieri it was. Staff was wonderful. Hit happy hour for a bit of a discount. I ordered the lasagna. It was good but not great. I doubt there was a lick of ricotta in it and that ricotta had been subbed with mozzarella. Sauce was good. Quantity more than decent. But no ricotta. Hubby had a meat bolognese pasta dish and thoroughly enjoyed that. Meal prices were a premium due to gambling comps and Guy's name. Disappointed no salad included for the cost and then to find zero ricotta in the lasagna. No issues with service or presentation. Just the sense they went cheap. I think if you had a $100 dining voucher from the tables you likely wouldn't be so particular, but lasagna is supposed to have ricotta. read more

Trattoria is located inside a casino and despite it being a weeknight where the restaurant the service was extremely slow. When we walked up there was a trio in front of us who said they had been waiting for over 10 minutes and hadn't seen a host/hostess yet even though the restaurant was almost completely empty. In our 5+ minutes standing with them we saw plenty of servers walk by and ignore the fact there was a line of people, but did not attempt to interact with us in any way. Once we were finally seated our server was pretty prompt and took our drink order. The drinks took quite a while to come out and appeared about the same time as our food, which actually came out pretty quickly. With a restaurant boasting the name of Guy Fieri (the mayor of flavor town) I had expectations that the food would really punch me in the taste buds unfortunately I found the Cajun pasta to be bland and pretty tasteless. The garlic bread with donkey sauce, however, was pretty good. Because the restaurant sits within a casino and has a celebrity name attached to it the prices as you might expect are higher than normal and unfortunately, the expectation did not live up to the price. While not outrageous it's certainly more than I would expect to pay given the portion sizes and quality of the food. read more

Sad to say but for a big famous named restaurant This place is horrible. I've been here several times and the food is just not good, I've had pasta, main dishes etc. it's just either too salty or just bland. I think guy fieri himself needs to come and see why his named restaurant is messed up by the folks that run it here. Sorry. Sad but true. Damn Olive Garden tastes better than this place. Sry read more

Decided to check out Guy Fieris Trattoria while at the casino. The place is pretty cute, definitely better than I was expecting for a casino, you can forget that you're in a casino while you're there. Service was okay, not bad, not super memorable. I was glad that there was gluten free pasta, but the menu doesn't really help to figure out the best options. I got the pasta with vodka sauce and it was pretty good, but not special. My friend got the lasagna with the million layers, but was disappointed because there wasn't much sauce, and some of the noodle layers were so hard they were inedible, probably because the lack of sauce. Also disappointing to not get bread or anything, it's definitely a bit pricey and didn't feel quite worth it. So it wasn't bad, but not worth driving all the way back to have it again. read more

Tonight we decided to eat at Trattoria's. My wife is Italian and very particular when it comes to Italian food. Needless to say she loves this place! We started with a Pappy's flight. We both enjoyed bourbon but neither one of us have ever tried any of those selections from the Weller Distillery. This evening was made extra special by Robert who made the entire event an experience instead of just a dinner. He and Kirk worked concert to ensure that all of our dining needs were met quickly and efficiently. Our food was phenomenal! The Long Shots definitely have a spicy kick to them. My lobster ravioli was great. You could taste the pieces of lobster in it. Just the right amount of Alfredo sauce. Mindy's Cajun chicken pasta was very flavorful. They were a little light on the sauce but Robert remedied it very quickly with some additional sauce from the kitchen. In addition to the flight, Mindy tried the Italian Old Fashioned which is "dangerous"!! It had tiramisu flavored cherries in it and went down very nicely. All in all, a great dining experience all the way around. read more

Made reservations for 4 on a Saturday evening at 7:30pm. Checked in at 7:30pm, was told the previous party hadn't left yet and our table wasn't ready yet. Cool, we'll wait..... 8:10pm is when we finally got called to get seated. Ordered the famous fried cheese, only to be told they were out of it. Got the garlic bread instead, which was good but took forever to come out. My husband got the Cajun chicken Alfredo and it had a very thin piece of chicken just one piece. It was good, but still not a lot. I got the 68 layer lasagna, which was good and no complaints there. I got a piece of their tiramisu to go. Got home and opened the tiramisu and it literally was still just cake. It was the size of a maybe a small ball. It was not soaked in espresso. It really wasn't good at all for $14.25. I would not recommend going there on a weekend. read more

Kevin was a patient waiter with the six of us. Three of us hadn't been at the restaurant before and he walked us through everything and guided us from appetizers, the main course, and dessert. We never had to ask for ONE single thing the entire evening. The Ryder Garlic bread was a delicious starter and I went with the April Pork chop special. It was delicious. I had a bite of the Chicken Marsala and will try that next time. I ended with the Cannolis for dessert and that was fantastic too. The manager stopped at our Table two times and was very polite and welcoming. Well worth the money! Thanks for a great evening. read more

Went for restaurant week what a deal !! The food was good the cocktails were amazing will definitely go back

We ate here on Jan 24, 2026. This is by far the worst meal I have had in years! I ordered the eggplant parmesan. You could not taste the eggplant at all because the breading was so thick it was falling off the eggplant not to mention that it was overcooked. I also ordered a side of pasta with alfredo sauce. The sauce tasted like a cheddar cheese blend. My husband ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese. He said the sauce tasted like tomato soup made with milk. The only decent part of the meal was the Ryder's Garlic Bread. I left my entire meal on my plate and our server Emma asked if I wanted a box. What she should have asked is "There something wrong with your meal?" Customers do not leave an entire entree on there plate for no reason. read more

Best Anniversary dinner ever. Thanks to Kirk, Robert, and Haley for making it a special night for my husband and me. I would highlight recommend the filet mignon. read more

Way over priced for the quality of food. You pay fine dining prices for less than average dinners. Nothing comes with the meal, you pay separate for the salad and bread. The garlic bread is about the only thing they have going for them. The Cesar salad was borderline inedible. It lacked any flavor in the dressing and the croutons were flavorless and rubbery. The Cajun pasta was mediocre at best. It had soo much oil floating on the dish when it arrived. Service was absolutely excellent by Robert which is why this review is 3 stars and not 2. Inside is too loud from the sports betting. They should have closed it off. Honestly save your money and go to Olive Garden it's cheaper and tastes MUCH better. read more

I had a food credit at the casino. As a free meal it was ok. The service was good. (We left a good tip because it was the best part of the experience.) The garlic bread was good. The wedding soup was far from authentic. It was mostly broth. The traditional little meatballs were replaced with quartered larger meatballs. My carbonara was gummy and not pleasant to eat. If i had paid for the meal, it would have been sent back. My friend's chicken parm was a large portion, but again, just ok. There are so many better Italian restaurants in town. Again, for free, it was just ok. This review would have been dismal if I had paid for the meal. read more

We decided to splurge on what we thought would be a really good dinner. We ordered chicken parm and a tomahawk steak. The chicken parm was the worse I have ever had. The chicken was cut so thin you had to look for it in the spaghetti coating was bland. The tomato/speghetti sauce was heart burn in a plate very acidic with some spicy hot seasoning . Hard to detect any cheese on it as well had better chicken parm at a dinner for a third of the cost. The tomahawk was okay a little small for $98 with no sides. The staff was good but couldn't cover up what was coming out of the kitchen. If I was Guy I would be embarrassed with this kitchen read more

Very nice clean place. Bartender very friendly and nice. The food was excellent. All of I had chicken parm grilled cheese never heard of it by very tasty. The garlic bread with cheese and donkey sauce was exceptional. The carbonara was excellent., made with fresh pasta. Will definitely be back. read more

The food was good. The service by Brenna was the best ever anywhere. She made the whole experience great!

We had a meal here on 7/19 and were taken care of by the lovely Emma! We got the garlic bread, both had the SPICY RIGATONI ALLA VODKA pasta (one with shrimp and one with chicken) and a bottle of red wine. The pasta was pretty good and a nice departure from the other food at the racino. Emma was an amazing server, I cannot give her enough props. We ate late due to how slammed they were (we didn't have a reservation which I highly recommend on busier nights when there's live music and races). Emma didn't rush us at all, was VERY attentive and helpful with any questions. She just genuinely had a good attitude which you don't always get, especially after how crazy busy they were! read more

Party of 4 on a Thursday, 6:15 PM. Less than 20 diners in the restaurant at that time. Hostess sat us at a booth with bare tabletop instead of table with white tablecloths. Water glasses were up side down with rims touching the table top. Tell me how that table top was cleaned. Hostess returns 3 minutes later to fill water glasses from a carafe of water. She grabs my glass with all five of her fingers around the rim of the glass. She fill the glass and again with all five of her fingers on the rim returns the glass to me. I told her that is not the proper way to handle the glass. She was surprised I would mention that and did not apologize or offer to get another glass. Ten minutes later the server finally appeared. Two people in the group ordered a glass of soda and a glass of wine. We also placed our dinner orders. No app or salad, just entrees. Ten minutes later the soda arrives. She tells the person that ordered the wine that that variety is only available by purchasing a bottle. That was way too much time to return and inform us about the wine. In fact, she should have known that. Everything on the menu is ala carte. Bread, apps, salads, entrees, sides, dessert: all separate. The meal could come to $100 per person, not including drinks. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. It was good, a little spicy but not overpowering. Another person had the chicken piccata. It was good, but just two pieces of meat. Nothing else on the plate. Anything else is extra. Service was very slow. It was two hours in total time there. Like I mentioned, not many others in the place. It claims to be fine dining with fine dining prices, but after the glass incident I wonder. Train your people better. read more

Service was the best we have had since Covid. Spaghetti and Meatballs were excellent along with Parmesan Bread. Lasagna was very good and enough for another meal. read more

Where to start! Showed up to have dinner this evening (this is not the first time we have had a meal here.) Was seated quickly. Sat at the table for a few minutes, finally had a server stop by and ask if she could get us water. She was very friendly. We ordered apps (the famous bread). It came out and was soggy!! There was no kick to the bread and it had way too much parm cheese on it. We ordered pasta for dinner, because you know, it is a pasta restaurant. One would think that in a restaurant that serves Pasta they would know how to cook it. My pasta was hard, dry, cold. My husbands pasta was too undercooked. I would have sent it back, but our server was no where to been seen. She didn't even bring our food out to us. Someone else did. We were never asked about desserts,, just finally saw our server after an hour of sitting and pushing the undercooked pasta around our plates. We paid and left. What is really sad is the fact that it was not busy. We have eaten at this restaurant before and the service and food was spot on! I am hesitant to go back now. At 35.00 plus a plate, and apps 15.00 plus, a Hefty 75.00-100.00 meal should be better quality, and service on spot. read more

Good morning, Fellow Yelpers! Yesterday, 09/08/24, we had the pleasure of dining at Guy Fieri's Trattoria located at Eldorado Gaming Scioto Downs Casino. The restaurant opened for service at 4 pm, and we arrived at 3:45 pm. After taking a quick lap around the casino to admire the flashing lights of the slot machines, we returned to find a line had formed in the 15 minutes we were gone. A host appeared and asked if anyone in the line had reservations. It turned out that about 80% of the line had reservations. When we finally reached the front, the hostess asked if we had a reservation, and I replied that we did not. She informed us that the soonest available table was at 4:45 pm. I asked if we could sit at the bar, and with a laugh, she welcomed us right in. We found two seats at the bar, where the bartender did his best to keep up with the influx of guests. We tipped him well for his efforts. However, the general manager seemed more disengaged, only paying attention to a couple directly in his line of sight. Despite the operational hiccups, I was generally pleased with the experience. We ordered the Assassin Spaghetti, garlic cheese breadsticks, Cajun Chicken Alfredo, and a bottle of Cecchi Toscana Sangiovese from Tuscany. The Assassin Spaghetti seemed toasted or baked--though I couldn't tell if that was intentional or a slight overcook. Bill: $105.00 + Tip Overall, I rated the experience 3 out of 5 stars. read more

Upon arrival we requested a seat where we could be alone. We were seated in the back of the restaurant in a single long ROW of about 8 to 10 tables that were small enough for only couples. All tables were filled with patrons except two tables at the end of this long row. We were seated at the end table in this row with one empty table next to us. That was acceptable to us since we had a little empty space. All of the tables in this row were about 12 inches apart. Within 5 minutes, the woman that seated us seated a couple at the table right next to us which was the only table left in this row. I turned around and looked at the seating in the restaurant to see why she seated them right next to us. There was NO ONE else in the restaurant except the approximately 20 people crammed into this SINGLE ROW of tables. A little uncomfortable seating especially since we requested being alone. We ordered the 68 LAYER lasagna with garlic bread. The garlic bread was just bread with melted cheese for $12....geez!! When the lasagna arrived I cut into the middle of it to check the 68 LAYERS. The 68 LAYERS consisted of a layer of noodle with a couple SMALL pieces of meat under the noodle. I cut a couple inches further from this sample and saw the same thing...a layer of noodle and a couple of SMALL pieces of meat. I took a bite. I don't know how its possible to make DRY lasagna but this restaurant did it. The only sauce was a thin line of marinara sauce that they poured around the edge of the meal. This was a 2 LAYER lasagna at best and DRY. I'm going to rank this as the most disappointing restaurant meal I've ever eaten and I've eaten at hundreds of restaurants across the USA. Although the BUFFET that originally was in this location was mediocre, it was better than this $44 dollar meal. What a disappointment!! read more

We had been wanting to try your restaurant and finally got "2 free appetizers" so we decided to try it. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. First we received our entrees long before our appetizers. The food was cold. The bread was not even toasted on the "grilled cheese parm" and the chicken was so bad we fed it to our dog and he didn't eat it. I ordered a Caesar Salad which came out with no dressing. We had to argue with the manager and server that there is literally no dressing on it and they wanted to charge us for the dressing. The meatballs were cold. The water on the table was warm and when we ran out of it, we never received any more. The meal was $66.00 and we work hard for our money so to see that much wasted and we were still hungry is such a disappointment. We will not be returning and now I know why the restaurant was not even 1/4th full on a Saturday night. read more

Ate the 2/16/26.I should have listened to the bad reviews.Istarted with italian wedding soup broth had little flavor,meatballs in soup were cut pieces from a larger meatball.They were dense,chewy and tough and had an odd unpleasant taste.The egg plant parm was no better. It was a very thin plank of egg plant extremely breaded,more breading than egg plant.It was over fried,dry and the edges were hard.It had little to no sauce.I asked for extra sauce.It wasn't good because the garlic in it was bitter from being scorched.I told the waiter my concerns and had only eaten about 20% of the meal.He did not offer to get the manager. I will not return. read more

Very disappointed in the food (tough) and service. Our server did not check on us or clear plates. Took too long for dessert and check. Brittany, the manager followed up and offered to replace $58 of the $200 the 3 of us spent. No thank you. We will spend our time and money where they care. read more

Reservations were full, no problem sat at the bar love dinner and a show, Jada was our server while tending bar, she was very knowledgeable of the menu and very good at slinging drinks.

The reviews are true... It's incredibly mid. Portions are weirdly small. We went in yesterday wasn't busy- ordered eggplant parm and Cesar salad. The eggplant parm was cold, cheese was still in its square form. It doesn't come with pasta- I think that could've help it gain a few points. The price point is high for simple ingredients. Cesar salad was bad- over dressed and croutons were stale. Servers was a mousy girl. Didn't sell me on nuthin' Overall Stay away. read more

Ambiance and service was fine. The pasta fagioli was good. I heard the lasagna was good, but it did not look appetizing to me. Pasta was over baked and totally dried out. The part that I found most disappointing was the chicken marsala which was very good HOWEVER... with a $30+ price tag my expectation is that a pasta of some sort would be included. It was not! I requested a side of spaghetti and got less than half a cup and was charged $8 for it. Will not be going back! read more

Had an early dinner tonite with a party of 7. We were seated promptly. We started with an order of garlic bread with cheese and 2 sauces which was really good. Several had a salad which was great and good-sized. For entrees, several had the spaghetti and meatballs, several had lasagna, one had the spicy rigatini a la vodka. and I had chicken marsala and a side of garlic mashed potatoes.. All were generously sized and terrific. My wife had peach ginger sangria which she really liked. We were all so full that no one had room for dessert. Service by Alivia was friendly and attentive. It was a great outing and the driving distance for all of us was about the same, so we may eat here again. read more

We Never got to eat there. We stood and wait to be seated 10 minutes. Servers were cleaning and prepping tables. When we asked, she just smiled at us and never came over to seat us.
