If it were possible, I'd give this a 3.5. We went for a date night on a Sunday and the restaurant was empty which gave us a little pause, but decided to stay. It's campus during the summer, so that makes sense. My husband got chicken parmigiana and I got the prosciutto portabello ravioli. The chicken was tasty, and the vodka sauce on my ravioli was really good. They served garlic bread with the meal, which I was grateful to have to soak up the tasty sauce. My ravioli was definitely al dente, it had a nice bite and the filling was good. I think I'd probably come back again and try something else. read more

The food here was delicious! We were a party of 8, and we ate in the restaurant - which is near campus. We figured out real quick that most people order their food to go! But, it was all delicious, and the waiter kept our glasses filled and brought us more garlic toast! Some of the favorites were the pasta with vodka sauce and the pizza! The alfredo sauce was phenomenal, and the chicken was delicious!! We were not the typical customers, but we are glad that we stumbled upon this place! read more

Ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce and angel hair pasta were delicious and perfect! The meat balls had the right amount of sauce and I was given extra sauce and parmesan cheese! Wonderful value and excellent flavor, taste and texture! Worth every penny!! read more

NOT GOOD -Fake food- Ordered through UberEats... so take that as you will. It said buy one get one on select pasta and shrimp & corn chowder which sounded fine to us. For one, the price of a plate of paste was $30 dollars... $30 DOLLARS!!! I have since looked online for their in-house prices ($17). So they are adjusting their BOGO price to adjust for their loss by nearly 100%. For comparison, Cento in GV is an excellent, authentic, and expensive Italian restaurant and its pasta dishes were cheaper than this by several dollars Whatever, right? Maybe the food is good. Hmmm? The shrimp corn chowder was shrimp flavored broth with 3.5 shrimp between the two bowls. Chowder is historically thick and chunky... this was murky water. Enough said there. As for the pasta dish, it was pictured as chicken cutlets in a vodka sauce. I would be absolutely astounded to find out that the chicken in our dish was NOT Tyson frozen slices. I know this when I see It and it was if anything, simply frozen and reheated junk. So they overcharged us by 75% (and that is an understatement) for food that was completely obviously frozen grocery store aisle microwave "food." If you love paying fine dining level prices for 1990's era high school cafeteria level food, then this is the place for you. read more

Chicken Alfredo - 7/10, tasty and creamy sauce, simple and nothing special, generous meat portion, poor presentation, good price Lasagna - 5/10, I didnt like the sauce, I had better lasagna before, good price Ambiance - 1/5, interior is old and needs updating, nothing fancy and looks like an old diner Service - 5/5 Overall: 6/10 Food is average and cheap for an italian restaurant. They need to update the interior and presentation of the dishes. read more

Visited 26 JUL 2024 We got carryout for an evening spent with the toddler grandson, so the parents could have a date night. We were in town visiting family. It was a fun evening. Once the little fella went down for the night we watched this great movie called IF [Imaginary Friends]. I needed this setup for context on what I am going to say about the food. It was fine, I ate all of my spaghetti and meatballs, my wife and the little one ate all of her Alfredo with added broccoli. We also got a pizza box full of breadsticks (the ordering was a little vague according to the spouse. This was our first time at the place so it wasn't clear that garlic bread was already included with the entrees. All good, we left behind a weeks worth of breadsticks. It wasn't however as good as I expected it to be, maybe it sat a little long. The texture of the noodles was off a bit, that weird space of being a bit overcooked, but "dry" at the same time. The texture of the meatball was off as well, as if there were filler that didn't quite get incorporated. If they are handmade this was an off batch, if frozen, I think its not a premium product. My wife described her broccoli as the wrong side of crisp, maybe overcooked, of cooked earlier and sitting in a warmer somewhere so got past just right. The sauce (again perhaps a time thing) "broke" as she was finishing the dish and attending to little man. There was also a lack of cheese backing to the Alfredo. Overall the flavors were muted, something I encountered all week at various places, must be the Midwest audience that local places have adjusted their recipes to satisfy. I get it, you want to be broadly appealing. Pasta Villa is okay, I'm sure they do well, and the true locals are satisfied. If we were in town again, I would be inclined to eat in, and maybe try some others things. The time in the to-go packaging may not have been in the chef's favor. read more

I had the most delicious chicken parmigiana! 2 very nicely seasoned and cooked chicken breasts, tender and juicy. Plenty of cheese. Angel hair pasta that wasn't mushy. Nice marinara sauce. Big portion enough for supper and lunch the next day. Add a slice of crispy garlic bread My husband had the Italian salad. He got the small one, tons of meat! Crisp clean veggies Highly recommended for door dash. I haven't been to the brick and mortar yet Good value and nice prices! read more

Was out and about and have wanted to go to Pasta Villa. I had been to this place about 15 years ago. Phenomenal then. Today I would say it has definitely changed hands since I had been here. I entered and sat at a booth. Only one person working, he was having a heated conversation on the phone. He finally came out and took my order and brought me water as I requested. I ordered Lasagna which came with Garlic Bread. The bread was slightly burnt but was tasty. Ordered the Lasagna, a nice tomato taste which slightly chunky tomatoes in the sauce. One layer was made up of a huge square of ground beef. All in all it was a tasty meal. Plenty of seating for everyone. read more

Ordered on Grubhub, and delivery was earlier than expected. The menu was pretty standard Italian, but with some extras (goat cheese or lobster ravioli, etc.) I got a meat pizza for me- good crust, good sauce, good cheese, good toppings. Baby K got the kid's spaghetti: good spaghetti, good huge meatballs, good sauce, and a large portion. We shared cheese bread and mozzarella sticks- good but not exceptional, just standard sides. Pricing is reasonable. Lots more on the menu I'd like to try (Baby K is just fine with pasta, and cheese bread.) read more

The service finally got good. But when we walked in it seems almost hostile. Not sure what they were expecting? Finally another gentleman came to the counter and it got much better. The food was really good, I mean really good. Not sure why they let some angry dude be at the counter to start? But they saved it for sure. read more

Reheated food, overpriced, and slow. Dining visit 9/18/22 The restaurant was completely empty at 12:30 pm for lunch on a Sunday. It was dark inside due to most of the lights not on or burned out. We picked the booth nearest to the front door so we would have light. There was only 1 person was working the entire restaurant. He was our server and the cook. We placed our order and the food arrived 26 min later, unacceptable. None of the food was cooked to order. Everything had a soggy, bland, chewy and leftover taste. None of the food came out hot. It was all warm-ish. We took our leftovers home but weren't at all excited about eating this food so I threw it away. Our check for lunch (2 meals and a kids pasta) came to almost $50. At this price point the food should have been phenomenal. Unfortunately, it was lacking in every area. read more

Long wait with no free smells. Seriously, we smelled nothing while our food was being prepared, so it wasn't too surprising when it came out tasting like yesterday's microwaved leftovers. Don't waste your time here. Maybe it used to be better, but I don't understand the great reviews based on our recent dine-in experience. I ordered the veal picatta. The meat was tough, and honestly could have been chicken. The other flavors were good, but no one at my table devoured their food. Everyone was kind of picking at it. Very disappointed. read more

This is a nice Italian takeaway spot near the Ohio State University campus. There is a dining room but they are only doing take out now. There is parking up front on High Street or in the back. Although the dining room is closed they should have more lights on inside. It seems a little dark and sad. It was that sort of vibe. Regardless I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and the Italian wedding soup. The soup was perfect--not too salty and had a good amount of "stuff" in the soup. The spaghetti was good but the sauce was a little watery. Meatballs were perfect. I also liked that a piece of garlic bread came with my meal. Prices weren't too bad. I'd definitely be back! read more

I ordered shrimp, corn chowder. Two portions to be exact. And I expected more for the 14 dollar menu price. Out of the two bowls of chowder there was one whole shrimp. I feel cheated and not valued as a customer. Please do better. Your food quality and pricing don't match up. read more

Absolutely NOT!! I will not ever eat here again. I ordered through Uber eats. The lobster soup was just liquid. Not one piece of meat or anything else for that matter. Uber does nothing (we already know that) I then contacted the store asked for the manager. He told told me it dosent have meat in it WTH! I have all the pics and a video I took. He said they don't do the pictures Uber does again WTH! He said he didn't know where they get their pictures from???? So really these are not pictures of actual items they sell?? Then the nerve HE HUNG UP ON ME! So now it is my Job to get this out there so everyone can see this is BS. All they had to do is admit they were running out and gave me the bottom of the pot and give me my money back!! read more

Whenever I need a homey pasta meal, this place has never disappointed. If anything, I feel like they've improved a lot on the take-out aspect where it feels a little fresher for a little longer and a smidge less of that heavy effect. The proportions are just right. Even four years later, this place is still great. No complaints read more

These folks offer an 8 slice, 16" New York Style cheese pizza that's a fair value for the money. Just $10 gets you a whole pie that's easily big enough to feed a couple of you hungry people. Now that's not a typo my friends. Trading a Hamilton for a large cheese pizza equals $1.25 per slice of cheesy New York heaven. It's probably one of the better pizza deals in the campus area. The only thing that keeps this from being five stars is that they are a little "generous" with the crust. Ahem, so what that means is that they could put more toppings on that pie but then, if they did, they'd charge more for it. (Can't have everything can we?) In any case, if it were me, the next time I'd ask for some sort of sauce (marinara or ranch) to dip that crust into if and enjoy. Now this pizza has that great classic NY fold and what tastes like a real house made sauce with a decent amount of cheese on it. Baked to perfection, it's going to satisfy most anyone's pizza craving. If you're not in the mood for pizza, there's also a full Italian menu to explore and from what the other reviewers are saying, I need to go back and check out some more of them too. I'm glad I took a chance on this little Italian bistro just north of the OSU campus on High Street. It's definitely a great new-ish addition to that strip of land between campus and Clintonville. I'd recommend checking them out sometime for a pie and for some of those great Italian dishes that the other reviewers are raving about. 4 Stars ** Additional topping are just $1 each. ** Park in back ** They have a modest beer and wine list. ** I've had their Chicken Marsala and yeah, it's pretty good! read more

Gave one more star because the pizza was alright, but not worth then wait. The crust was the best part. My experience was not too good. Never heard of this place and decided to stop in because they have a good review on here and Google. I took a photo with this review to show you I was the only one here with a friend and only 1 carryout order came in. That's it. We waited close to 40 minutes for our pizza. He didn't bother to give us our drinks until the pizza came out. I'm use to other places giving you your drink before the pizza came out, but not here. I completely understand if they're busy, but with 2 guys in here and 1 carryout order???? Not to mention we've been here for a full hour now and as I write this, no one else came in, except a carry out order. I would love to come back, but their wait was not worth it. I would highly recommend doing a carryout order and not dining in. read more

We headed into this district of Columbus after a doctors appointment. We like to mix some good in with medical stuff so a meal out is helpful. There were several recommended restaurants in this area but we eventually settled on this place. In my mind, it's hard to beat fresh made Italian food. Surprisingly the place was empty when we walked in a little after noon, even though this pace got good reviews on Yelp! Needless to say, we were served quickly and had a nice quiet lunch. I opted for the calzone and my wife went for the Stromboli. I have to say that these each were among the best that we gave had in a long time. The gravy was awesome, the dough was fresh, and the toppings REAL (not out of a can). For me, nice big chunks of mushroom (my go to) with lots of ricotta cheese (the teal key to a good calzone in my mind). My wife usually doesn't eat a whole Stromboli in one sitting but in this case she could not contain herself. Great food. Only drawback to the whole experience was that there was only one person working. He must have been bored... read more

I got the chicken Alfredo and it tastes like a Kroger brand fast microwave meal. The chicken tasted really gross. The lobster bisque isn't a normal thick soup it looks like a broth and tasted very oily and gross. I told my boyfriend to ask for crackers or some type of bread and the guy responded with this isn't Bob Evans. I've never had someone say something so rude while eating at their restaurant. The owners/staff are rude and wouldn't recommend. read more

Pasta Villa - Lobster Bisque and Chicken Alfredo - Italian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Truly this was the best pasta I've had ever. We orders the cheesy bread, chicken Alfredo, spaghetti, cheese tortellini with vodka sauce, and the chicken with angle hair noodles with their famous sauce. Everything was excellent, not one thing we didn't like. Their homemade Alfredo sauce was amazing, super cheesy and the best sauce I've ever had. When we first arrived it was empty, there was no music so it was awquard so we were a little skeptical about the place, but once we got the first bite our whole attitude changed, we will definitely be going back before we head home from our vacation. read more

The best tasting Italian cuisine that I have ever had. I absolutely love the chicken parmigiana and I try that at every Italian restaurant I visit. In 40 years of my life, this is by far the best. You can tell that it is freshly made to order. The chicken is very tender and moist, baked to perfection. The serving size is also perfect! The staff there are so friendly and easy to talk to. You can tell that they love to cook for you. I am definitely hooked on Pasta Villa and we will continue eating there for many years to come. read more

I got the veal and eggplant parm combo. I also got a lobster bisque. My wife got a shrimp scampi. The portion size was decent, and it didn't seem overpriced. They brought out some garlic bread, which was just a piece of texas toast, toasted with garlic butter and herbs. My wife said the scampi was good. I don't remember it normally having that much onion strips, or large chunks of tomato in it. Another odd thing was that the shrimp still had their tails on. The veal and eggplant was very good. The sauce had a hint of heat to it, but not overly spicy at all. Next time, I would probably do without the eggplant, just because the veal overshadows it, and the eggplant gets lost. The lobster bisque was decent, but nothing to write home about. I did not notice chunks of meat in it like I find at some places. They also have a buffet / salad bar every day from 11-3 for $8.99. read more

So I was desperate for pizza and this was the best option in a list of REALLY bad options. Uber eats sucked as per usual so it took like 25 mins to get to my house. Pizza was cold and soggy by then, BUT it had potential. I liked the crust, the ingredients were decent, it absolutely wasn't the worst pizza by far. Fried cheese ravioli was meh... If you're a stoner I'm sure you'd be happy with their crunchy, ravioliness, for the sober it's just meh. This absolutely doesn't change the awfulness of our first experience, but the pizza got the place a second star. Also the lemoncello cake was pretty yummy fr Ok good luck with this place. Byyyeeee read more
