The restaurant was smaller than expected when we walked in. The staff was very friendly and the waiter had many recommendations as it was our first time being there. The bread and oil was good, however it could have used a little more seasoning. The side salad was just your typical salad. I ordered the chicken Milanese which was very good. The combo of the two sauces was very good and the chicken was crispy and juicy. read more

Had dinner at Omezzo. Very homely and excellent food. Lobster ravioli (we took the appetizer version) was amazing! Lobster bisque was good. We also had Trio Omezzo which is a selection of three types of pastas on one plate (better to share as the portion is quite big). Overall delicious! read more

Food is so good!!! Lobster ravioli is amazing and their tiramisu is fabulous!!! Didn't like that I had to pay for a basket of bread but it was fine. read more

I got spaghetti with the sauce stirred in. I'm not a toddler. It was drowned in cheese. Dried nasty old kraft Parmesan cheese. Inedible!! The beer menus had only pale beers. It's winter. There was One lasagna noodle swimming in a bowl of tomato soup. Inedible as well. The bruschetta was tasty but poorly done. It wasn't melted on the bread but just heaped on. What a complete failure!!!! read more

I ordered the shrimp & salmon. The flavor was superb! My wife ordered Picata. Mine was better but hers was quite good. We had Bruschetta. Their bread is perfectly done. We had dessert and lemme tell ya... I'm never going here without getting dessert. The best tiramisu I've had in Ohio. The cannoli... my wife insisted she doesn't like cannoli. She loved the cannoli. The portions were reasonable. This isn't the place for massive mountains of food and I'm more than okay with that. I paid for the quality of a delicious meal I didn't feel overstuffed at the end of. I left full, though. No worried there. The service is great. Very nice people and caring. Small place service and feel. The place was nice and quiet. It doesn't look like a high end place but it's very good quality. Really intimate and lovely. We'll be back for sure. read more

This was my second time dinning here. Had the Eggplant Parmesan. It was excellent flavor-wise, and had a very good texture. Would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a top notch eggplant. The pasta was good as well, and the sauce was good, not runny at all, and had good cling. The bruschetta was a little better than average, but nothing to complain about. Excellent service. Attentive, but not bothersome, clearly the staff wants a friendly and welcoming environment. Will surely return. read more

Omezzo - Eggplant Parmesan. Excellent. - Pizza Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

Very good food, if a bit expensive. Smaller portions which can be a good thing. However everything is ala cart. Being from New Jersey every Italian resturaunt I can think of has salad and bread included with a dinner entree. The first time we went here ( only 2 of us ) we were not offered bread and it was on the menu as an additional item. The second time we went here ( three of us ) we were offered bread, however I did not get the check so i am unsure if there was an added cost. Either way the food was excellent and I would not hesitat to return. read more

Wonderful service. Fantastic food. Very comfortable atmosphere. A great spot for a nice date

A great little Italian restaurant. Doesn't look like much from the outside but don't be fooled. Authentic Italian. Good ingredients and a decent wine menu. Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. read more

Italian is considered a food easy to copy, but also have go very wrong. Too often imbalanced flavor profiles lead to meals which are either unmemorable or memorable for all the wrong reasons. First, let me tell you what went right - 1) The restaurant was clean 2) Service was prompt and courteous though our waiter could have been a little more enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and helpful. 3) They had a gluten free option for our daughter! 4) The pasta was perfectly cooked Sadly, this is a restaurant we cannot see craving for future visits. 1) The meatballs were mealy, strangely sour (like they had yogurt, and fell apart too easily like they were only boiled and not browned before being simmered in the sauce. 2) The sauce was watery, too heavy with garlic and oregano and lacking other key flavors. Tasted like something I would make at home and I'm known for butchering homemade pasta sauce :(. 3.) They skimp on the shredded parmesan in the oil for their bread and offer no other spice blend to go with it. It's OK, but a bit of garlic and rosemary or spicy sun dried tomato seasoning would go well with the EVOO. Now, this last observation isn't really a deal breaker per se since we were there with our kids, but something that does affect the ambiance. TVs in the restaurant detract from what could be a potentially romantic dinner spot. This isn't a a typical pizza joint, nor is it a sports bar. It just made the experience feel a little wonky and disjointed. read more

Absolutely delicious Italian food! The Pasta Omezzo and Lemon Chicken are a couple of our favorites, but you really can't go wrong with anything from their menu. Great locally owned small business. Highly recommend!!! read more

We wanted Italian, and were planning on going to Scali, but it was getting very close to their closing time and I was thinking there would either be a long wait or we might not get in at all. Really didn't want to settle for Olive Garden, and I remembered seeing a friend's check ins at another Italian restaurant in the area. Thank you Nick D for the excellent find! This isn't a fancy restaurant but the food was fabulous! We ordered shrimp diavolo, Omezzo trio and shrimp scampi. Everything was delicious, but the diavolo sauce was incredible! The service was excellent as well, was great to talk to the chef and hear about how the place started, and that he will prepare items not on the menu by request. I knew I could not leave without trying the tiramisu but didn't have much room left so we split it, and it was every bit as good as I expected. I'm happy to report they do have wine now, apparently they did not until recently. Highly recommended! read more

Omezzo - Omezzo Trio, delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

This is a nice hidden Italian restaurant that we have been meaning to try since we moved to Pickerington. Located in a small shopping center on the corner of blacklick and hill rd this place is easy to miss! We walk in and are greeted with some classic Italian decor and an amazing smell! We were immediately greeted by the hostess and sat at the only open table in the whole place. It's a moderate size restaurant with seating for about 50 people. As soon as we sat we got some waters and some warm bread with a garlic oil dipping side. Adrienne got the local Chardonnay and said it was delicious. I always judge Italian restaurant by their Italian wedding soup and I was not disappointed at all! Very good broth, crisp romaine, and plenty of meatballs! The side salad was great and the Italian dressing tastes home made. Adrienne ended up getting the chicken arabiatta that had eggplant, spinach, spicy tomato sauce, mozzarella, and penne. It was amazing. Everything was so fresh and the servers were so nice. We weren't alone for long as they checked on you often, which is really nice since we ordered a second glass of wine. Great hidden gem right in Pickerington! read more

I've been here many times now, and the everything has kept its excellence! They take the time to greet you, know you by name. Very easy to chat with! Food? I especially love how Chef can make any desired modifications to suit your tastebuds! For instance, I'm able to sub in red sauce for Alfredo. Oh, and all sauces and creams are made fresh in-house. Everything I've tried has wonderful flavor, and for that, they've earned the fifth star!! read more

My wife and I stopped here on a long four day drive from Montana to Gettysburg Pennsylvania. The Restaurant is just a quarter of a mile or so off I 70. I am so glad we stopped... The food was delicious, the owner/chef/waiter was a very nice man. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and it was so much better than one of the "Chain" restaurants that we are so tired of eating at. It was the highlight of our day of 700 miles of driving! If you try this restaurant you won't be disappointed. Thank you to yelp for publishing the ratings on this restaurant.... Thanks so much to the owner for his wonderful food and wonderful service! read more

We really like this place... the service was amazing - they were spot on filling drinks and making sure we were happy. The food was good. I had the veal parmesan and wifie had egg plant. The daughter had fetichini alfredo. Her friend got a sub. Veal parmesan was good. Wifie really liked the egg plant. The fetachini alfrado was good. The sub was the standout of the meal... it was awesome. It is worth a visit. read more

Best Italian on the Eastside Not sure why the only picture is of pizza when that's basically a kid option. For adults it's the Pasta all the way and Chef Z is awesome. He checks with tables to make sure you are satisfied and is willing to change the order to what ever you desire. I would give Chef Z a 10 if I could and the restaurant a 8 only because the staff is not motivated to Mrs Z's expectations and have to be told to do something instead of taking the initiative. read more

Another road trip, another lovely local gem. Friendly owners met us at the door and promptly sat us. It's in a strip mall but they've made it into a nice atmosphere for dinner. My husband had chicken parmesan, our kids had a pizza and fettuccine. I had sausage penne with spinach. It was all delicious! The wait staff were attentive and friendly. If you like mom and pop shops- this place is for you! read more

Very good food. Price seemed reasonable. Service was perfect. I will definitely go back soon read more

The lobster ravioli is everything. I ate this 3 days in a row. Damn it COVID quarantine! Seriously, it's delicious and worth the calories!

My husband and I travel a lot, especially out of the country. This was by far the best Italian food we have ever had! Authentic, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was also quite and relaxing. A must for anyone! The owner definitely takes pride and took the time to explain the menu. read more

Our second visit to this eatery- brought my husband this time. Tonight one of the specials was lamb. It was wonderful! I was so enjoying the dish that I forgot to take a pic! The vegetables again were the best-steamed a little and charred just s but while sautéd. Couldn't have asked for a better dinner. read more

Ive dine in here about two times. I mainky do take out. I am there angel hair pasta with veal or either chicken parmigiana. There sauce taste home made.. the portions are a decent size. There prices are a bit pricey but it is Italian food. Food always taste fresh. The inside feels like family owned and clean. I also enjoy there cheesy bread. There meatballs are not bad either. I get to go about 6 or 7 times a year. Over all a tastey little spot. read more

A Cute Gem in a suburban strip mall Looking for a decent little italian joint to go to with the wife for a kid free night out, i found great reviews for this place on yelp. Decided to give it a try. Omezzo is nestled in a strip mall next to a bar and a goodwill, but don't let that discourage you. Omezzo is fairly tiny and you may have to wait for a table and service but the food certainly makes up for it. The wife and I opted for the Meatball Appetizer. I ordered the Chicken Carbonara Penne and she ordered an alfredo dish. The appetizer bread is served with garlic and oil. It's a very sturdy ciabatta that i could have eaten as my whole meal. The Meatball appetizer came with three golf ball sized meatballs instead of the two listed on the menu swimming in good marinara with a slab of garlic bread on the side. The Meatballs had good texture and flavor. The sauce was great and the garlic bread was wonderful to swab up any of the extra sauce with. My Chicken Carbonara Penne was unlike any carbonara i've had before but that isn't a bad thing. The sauce was almost more a vodka creme with the requisite chicken, bacon, ham and vegetables. the flavor was clean and fresh. Certainly tasted homemade opposed to out of a can or jar. The prices were good and there was great value. The wine list has reds and whites of a good variety by the glass and the bottle. I even found a value Pinot Noir that surprised me. A very good experience at Omezzo. I will be back. read more

So spent Valentine's Day at Omezzo - our favorite Italian . They were so busy which is awesome to see in our Covid world . Even the next door sister business Omezzo Pasta Bowl to Go had people waiting . Most of the restaurant seemed to be patient and understanding - after all , the owner is the chef ! We just enjoyed our Masi red wine and relaxed . He had shrimp corn chowder as the special soup - delish !!! The shrimp was so tender and not over cooked at all . Then I had the risotto with shrimp and lobster . Risotto is hard to find in central Ohio and when you do find it , so many over Pok it in their attempt to precook and make on the fly . Not Chef Z . His risotto is my favorite and is only a special . So yummy !! Monty had a menu item - shrimp and scallops with artichokes and linguini . As always , everything was great . They also recently updated the menu - so happy to see what previously were highly seafood specials on the menu permanently ! I have also seen a few reviews on here that were poor - I often like to see what else they have reviewed . It's all relative , right ? You won't be disappointed - come here . There's a reason they've been on channel 28 news live so many times !!! read more

Service wasn't good. Took forever to get someone to take our order. The food was way too salty. Not authentic tasting.

Two of us have gone two different times so all in all we tried 4 dishes. To be honest, not one was edible. Their sauce has a strange taste like something that shouldn't be in it. Most pasta dishes have way too much cheese and way too little of the terrible sauce. I'm dumbfounded to find so many good reviews. I'm done. read more

The two stars are for the decent-tasting Lobster Bisque and generous portions of food. My husband and I tried Omezzo for the first time three or four years ago, when we were still dating. He thought it was okay, while I thought it was over-priced and, well, gross. Fast-forward to today, when we were both craving Italian and decided to give Omezzo a second chance via Omezzo To Go. My husband ordered veal parmigiana and I had spaghetti & meatballs. It was, without a doubt, the worst Italian food to ever cross our lips. I agree with another reviewer who wrote that the sauce had a strange taste. We won't go back. read more

Lots of really outstanding Italian pasta options, at very affordable prices. They have wine specials that will get you a very nice bottle of wine to go with your dinner for $10 or $12. Family-owned, the chef visits every table and gladly tweaks the menu items to meet your special requests. Such a difference in taste and food quality from the national chain restaurants like Olive Garden, share the tiramisu with your date and you'll see! read more

This place is a stone's throw away from our place but we've never been here before. So when hubby wanted to have pasta I called in a big order for pickup, since we're having family over and by ordering different dishes we can sample a little bit of everything. Let's go over them shall we. First off when I came in the restaurant looked decent. I can't elaborate more since I went straight to the counter for pickup. But I was greeted right when I came to the door so that's a plus. Order was done exactly when they said it'll be done. Everything was piping hot. Another plus. We ordered lasagna, Alfredo, meat sauce, spaghetti meatballs, trio Omezzo, and chicken Parmesan. Chicken Parmesan spaghetti was good. Chicken is tender and juicy and it's a big piece that can be shared. It's got decent flavor too. The Alfredo, both chicken and shrimp, was the biggest hit. The kids liked the shrimp one better but the adults preferred the chicken. It's got the right mix of Parmesan and cream flavor. Next comes the trio omezzo which comes with the lasagna, chicken diavolo and cheese tortellini. I don't remember seeing chicken in the diavolo but there definitely are mushroom. Supposed to be mild spicy but there was no spice, at all. Cheese tortellini was ok, it was cheesy. Lasagna on this dish, and the separate main dish, was not touched. I shouldn't say that. Everyone grabbed a piece, took a bite and just left the rest on their plate. It was bland and nothing close to the lasagna flavor we know, and we are big lasagna eaters. Spaghetti with meat sauce has a lot of meat but not a lot of flavor, pretty basic actually. IMO it could use an extra dash of herbs. I was really hoping this one to be good. The final dish is the spaghetti with meatballs. This was the dish that everyone wanted to get. But like the lasagna it was a huge letdown. Sauce was ok but the meatballs, that are decent sized, are bland. My little one who could eat two of these big sized meatballs only took a bite and didn't touch the rest. One family member even said it was dry. If I just look at the portion size of each dish they are decently portioned, it was big enough to fill you up without you feeling stuffed. But if you're wanting that Italian taste, most of the dishes we had was missing or short of it. With all the positive reviews we we're really hoping this place to be our go-to pasta place. Sadly the search must go on. read more

I don't understand why this place isn't always slammed. We are regulars here as we live like 2 minutes from it. We tried another Italian mom and pop place in town and did not like it. Omezzo is the top notch in my eyes. read more

With my Mom on a Sunday @130 and saw the Open sign. We were greeted promptly by the Chef. Chef Z seated us and provided the menus, took our drink order and told us about the daily specials. My Mom ordered the rigatoni with chicken amend marinara. I ordered the Chicken Marsala. Had a short discussion with the Chef about marsala sauce. I prefer the creamy one over the brown. He was willing to make it anyway I wanted. Every dish is made to order including the sauces. I ordered it the way he makes it and said next time I might order it with extra cream. Let me just say it was fabulous and I will order his way from now on. Mom loved her rigatoni. It melted in your mouth. Yum! The bread that was served was fresh and warm served with a olive oil/garlic dipping sauce. We also ordered the wedding soup. Very good. For dessert Chef Z recommended Tiramisu. I don't care for it but he said you will love mine. OMG! It was delicious. Not overpowering with the coffee. Mom and I both agreed we will be back! FYI, the restaurant is only open for dinner. I posted a photo of his hours. He was open that Sunday because he had to prepare for the dinner service. This local restaurant in Pickerington is a hidden gem amongst the chains and much better!! read more

Last night was our family's first time visiting Omezzo. I am a Columbus native, but didn't know where to get non-chain Italian from. I found the restaurant on Yelp, and an so glad that we decided to give it a try. For starters, I had the Lobster bisque... so good! We also had the cheese bread and I had Shrimp Alfredo as an entree. Everything was piping hot, fresh, and delicious. The staff was also very nice; will definitely be back for a visit. read more

Omezzo not amazing. I was hoping to try a new place and find a place for good pizza. We got the Cesar salad, meat lasagna and pepperoni pizza. Cesar salad was made with chopped romain and tiny little croutons , I think I got 4 my wife got 3 croutons. Bottle dressing not great. The lasagna was11.99. The sauce was bland the meat tasted old and the noodles were slimy. The lasagna was on par with a frozen stoffers meal .Portion size was small which was good because it sucked. Pizza was just slightly better than a frozen pizza from Kroger. Atmosphere is not good dirty red carpet ,cracks on the walls ,laminated paper menus. Service was ok but interaction with our server was awkward as she was a little out of it. I would have to say for 36 bucks plus tip I will not be back and wound tell you to stay away. read more
