It is nice to have The Spaghetti Warehouse back in Downtown Columbus, but miss the historic West Broad Street location, but will make new memories at the new location. The food was excellent like the 15 Layer Lasagna, my friend has Spaghetti and Meatballs with Mushroom, another one had the Pasta carbonara, and the last one had a huge salad. Garfield would still eat the lasagna in 30-45 seconds. The service was good and the server who took care of my group was great, but most of them are new employees because the other workers lost their job because of the roof collapse at the old location. Give the new servers time and will be back making new memories at the new Spaghetti Warehouse at the Columbus Commons, but will retain the old feel of the other location. read more

warm enough to melt the butter they had to bring more out for what I paid at the spaghetti warehouse. I would've been better off going to Longhorn steakhouse and their meatballs are made out of pork and beef. read more

What an incredible disappointment. I grew up going to Spaghetti Warehouse in another city so I was excited to see there was one in Columbus near where we were. I'm not exactly sure what we experienced but it was so incredibly different than anything I was expecting and so disappointing. The restaurant is in a very modern space and decor which is already different than what you generally expect from a Spaghetti Warehouse. I will say there is a beautiful view of the Commons. But the inside decor and space is so very generic. My daughter wanted to sit in a booth in the "train". When I asked about that we were told our assigned table was in the main restaurant but they could probably fit us in. There were several empty tables so that didn't make much sense. Literally about two minutes after we were seated the server came over and asked if we were ready to order. Not introducing herself, not mentioning it there were specials, not taking a drink order first. I suppose it was good that she was prompt but it was a bit nuts to expect that we would know what we wanted to order almost immediately after being seated. When we did order, we got our soups almost instantly. And then less than five minutes later our food was out. I'm not sure why they were rushing us but they obviously were. My chicken marsala was awful. It came as pre cut strips of chicken and the sauce was water. It was very runny and had basically zero marsala flavor. As we were eating, the server came over to ask where we parked to see if we needed the validation. It was the way she asked that was so off putting. "You probably parked in the wrong garage but if you show me your ticket I can see if it's the right one." Everyone has off days. Every restaurant has off nights. But considering nothing about our experience was good I definitely can't recommend this place to anyone. Which is really sad because I've loved previous spaghetti warehouse experiences in other locations. read more

Decided to stop in before a concert tonight. I was well dressed, it was 4:30. They seated others in the dining room but insisted on seating me in the bar, maybe because I was alone. I said I was there for dinner and did not want to sit at a high top two-seater in the bar. They seated me at a 4 top, in the bar. A woman in her '60s eating alone does not like sitting in the bar, especially since the dining room was open and available. The bartender gave attentive service. As I was leaving I noticed another single diner, a woman in her 50s/60s, also, seated in the bar, at the high top seats, near the windows. Is this a practice? C'mon hostesses, do better! Food was filling and a good value. read more

Emmy and I went on a date to the "Spaghettie Warehouse". The breadsticks were fantastic, but they informed us they were "out of warehouse". Needless to say, we will not be back until Warehouse is back in stock. Thanks! read more

First the food. It was okay but the server forgot we ordered two appetizers. We got our salads and rolls but no appetizers. Agee minutes later our four entrees were delivered to the table. My wife explained we still had not received our appetizers. So our server says "I'll just leave the entrees" and my wife says "NO". When the two appetizers arrived, one of which should have been comped because I had joined their frequent dinners club, but it wasn't when the check arrived. We were going to a show down the street so I let that foible slide. Ambiance. The restaurant was going for a look that resembles a railroad car. No. read more

I don't remember the old location too well for food, but the environment was way better than this new location. Going into here, it was overall forgettable both with the meal and how everything looked. We went in a family of five and tried each others dishes and they were all bland. Not "bad" but not worth the price given, you could tell everything was the "mass produced and packaged in foil" food thats out there for basic catering for example. The lasagna used the same basic meat sauce. The salad you know came in those big premade bags you can get at krogers. The only thing that stood out to me was the bread and garlic butter as it was the only thing fresh and might have been made at location. Take the picture for example. That was my meal. The mushrooms i seen many times coming from a tin, and the "sauce" it came with tasted like it was the water that the mushrooms came in with some olive oil. The chicken in turn was bland and soggy. The brussels sprouts was okay, and really thats the overall experience. Just "okay." The servers were very nice for what that is worth, so i do hope in the future they actually make their food in house or something better than what they got now because you can do so much better for the price. The menu needs a rework. read more

The pick 2 is a really great option for a fast and delicious lunch. I always recommend it when any friends want to get together for lunch.

Went out with family for a birthday celebration and Rashawn (Apologies for misspelling of the name) was amazing with everything. I have to give 2 stars for the food. My zucchini spaghetti was cold and my salad was soggy. First time in and I'm going to have to say I'm very saddened by this and my not be back read more

The food was good. Had the opportunity to try several menu items. The burrata and gnocchi appetizer was delish! I will definitely be going back and ordering it again. The waitstaff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We were seated in the back, open area of the restaurant. It was loud, not ideal for intimate conversation. Felt a bit more sports bar than cozy family. Will ask to sit in one of the booths next time. The new location is working hard to pay homage to the menu items that made the SW an iconic fixture in Columbus AND update their offerings with new items. The new location is definitely worth the trip. You won't leave hungry! read more

Good service, good location and ambiance. Lasagna and spaghetti are great. However, everything else is just mediocre and overpriced.

We don't typically venture too far out of the burbs on our own so I admit, parking was a little confusing for us at first, but once I called to see if they had parking, the walk over from the Commons garage wasn't too bad. The restaurant also validated our ticket for $2. Once we arrived, we were greeted by friendly service right away, and led to the cutest trolley booth. Next time I think I would've preferred the main dining room in the back with the views of the Commons. The menu had a little story about the spaghetti warehouse and its history, which we enjoyed reading before deciding on some of our favorite Italian cuisine go to's. I also have to mention our lovely waitress who was attentive and friendly throughout our dinner. She gave us great tips during our ordering process, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our evening there. I also have to mention the GM on duty that night. He touched our table at least twice to insure we were enjoying our time. The bread came out right away warm with a delicious whipped garlic butter. It was followed shortly after with a pretty decent calamari. I didn't love the gnocchi though because it felt undercooked or gummy in texture and the burrata was left cold so it couldn't fully melt into the dish. The wedding soup that came with our meal had a unique twist of chicken and spaghetti noodles, which aren't traditional in wedding soup, but was very good and comforting. Next came our main courses and we couldn't believe the portion sizes of everything we'd received so far. Honestly, we were already kinda full There was enough to feed an entire family at our table! I will say this place definitely gives you good bang for buck. Aside from most of the dishes needing a touch more salt, the traditional Italian flavors were there and pretty well done. The chicken in my Marsala dish was a bit dry, but the seafood linguine was our star of the night. The plentiful seafood, and slightly spicy sauced linguine were delicious. Finally, the desserts were served, and I loved the double chocolate cheesecake because it was decadent and rich, just as you'd get at the cheesecake factory who supplies them. However, the tiramisu cake was a bit dry in parts but still yummy. It's a revitalization project to preserve and rebrand a restaurant icon. Whereas before, the historic building itself and locale clientele sustained its place in Columbus' food scene, it's currently struggling a bit to rise above the many fine dining choices surrounding their new location. read more

The old location was always a great place for birthdays. The new location.. not so much. I decided that I wanted my birthday dinner here. It was our first time in the restaurant, and right off the bat the hostess was very rude. She squeezed our party of 5 into a tiny table meant for 4. Meanwhile, there was a 6 top right next to us that wasn't used for the duration of our visit. The food was good, but not worth the price. Wine comes in a very small glass, it doesn't seem like a full serving. Our server was great, but he had a lot of tables and seemed very overwhelmed. No dessert menu was offered for my birthday. The place is fine for a dinner for two, but definitely not a larger group or for a special occasion. Sad that we didn't get the old SW hospitality back. read more

Well it was time to check out the NEW Spaghetti Warehouse. Ordered the 15 Layer Lasagna. Salad and of course the bread. The Lasagna just didn't taste like the old Lasagna from Broad Street. The noodles weren't cooked enough, lacking in sauce and the meat had less flavor to it. The salad seemed smaller and but had higher end ingredients. The French Dressing was the same as the original dressing. Yummmy!! The bread was way smaller than the original but was nice and soft plus it was tasty due to the new garlic and herbs butter. Yummmy stuff here. And here is a huge downside to the place for me was that they don't have the Parmesan cheese on the tables anymore. May seem petty but when you ask for it and it didn't come till the end of the meal. Didn't work for me and it didn't work for the table next to me, the guy had to get up and grab it off a table across the room. Easy fix if someone would have been thinking. read more

And continuing with the eating out all week theme, I had dinner with all the gents at the new Spaghetti Warehouse Columbus. On one hand, the new space doesn't have quite the character the old building did, but it is clean and is in a great location for when they can roll up the garage door windows overlooking the Commons. That said, the company and conversation was outstanding. The food was 2-4 stars depending on what we ordered (hence the three stars up the middle). I'd suggest sticking with the tried and true spaghetti and meatballs, Alfredo, or chicken Parmesan. Those along with the Caesar were the well-received choices among the group. The two of us who digressed away from red sauce, weren't quite as thrilled. My carbonara was bland, and the bacon was super undercooked and cut into big pieces. Weird. Tommy's medium steak was definitely overcooked and he ended up swapping out the house salad which basically had one slice of tomato, which was the vine end, and a couple croutons. We didn't go to spaghetti warehouse anticipating five star Italian food, but the dining experience was underwhelming. Particularly the service, which started off feeling attentive, but ended up being super scattered. It was a 6 PM reservation on a Monday night so it wasn't like a crazy packed weekend. I think this will be a crowd-friendly place to take kids or grab a drink and appetizer before a show since it's so close to Ohio Theatre. I would be wary of the timing of service because we were there almost 2 hours for what should've been a fairly easy dinner service. Hopefully, they get their act together before busy season descends upon them. But I do think the location will be rockstar when a show is going on the stage at the Commons. And the bar, which was totally separated from the dining room, looks nice. No food pics. I will give it another shot later in the summer and update the review. read more

Sunday 11am lunch with 4 adults, two toddlers and an infant. To sum it up with a word - disappointed. They seemed befuddled that we didn't have a reservation. I called days before because Open Table wouldn't let me make a reservation. When I called, the host said I wouldn't need one for that time. We were seated in the way back far corner of the restaurant under the old light fixtures that hung quite low. The server had to duck every time he had to deliver something to our area or squeeze behind us to get to the back side of the table in order to avoid the lights. About 30 minutes into our meal, a group of ladies was seated right next to us while the whole dining room was open. Our server was well-meaning but clueless. He seemed to struggle with the handheld ordering device and it's possible he's never interacted with hungry children before. The food was lackluster. They forgot our child's meatball and 2 sides of applesauce. For a kid, this is pretty disappointing. The Alfredo sauce was broken, grainy and greasy. The pasta for our infant was dry like it had sat in the window for a spell. It was all very clunky. Service, food, ambiance. When you're paying inflated prices for cheap food, it makes you feel a little disappointed you took the gamble. They gave us a free appetizer coupon for forgetting the applesauce and meatball, but why would I go back to spend more money for mediocre food to go with my free appetizer? read more

12-23-24 Tried to make a reservation via their website for January 26, 2025 for 5 people at 5 PM. It didn't go through at all. One of the more user-unfriendly reservation systems I've ever used. Called today 12-24-24 about the same reservation and the lady who answered the phone cut me off twice. Nice! Asked for a manager. Told her what I was trying to accomplish and asked her for technical assistance. She knew absolutely NOTHING about the reservation making website. NICE!!! It's too bad too. We love the OSW in Dayton where we often dined before our daughter graduated from the University of Dayton. We now have a son attending the University of Akron and have really enjoyed the excellent customer service at the Akron franchise. We dined frequently at the former OSW before it burned down. The OSW in downtown Columbus will never see my or my family's money ever again. read more

Parking is at the Columbus Commons Parking Garage (First two entrances) at 55 E Rich Street. Even though the restaurant validates parking, you are still charged a fee on your bill for the validation. Even though the website says reservations are needed for parties 8 & up, you can still get reservations for small parties - especially if you want to sit in the much quieter section of the restaurant, the "dining car" section. The main room has no carpeting or tapestries or anything to muffle the noise or the echoes. My party sat in the main room and had difficulty carrying on a conversation. The service was quick for it being a busy night. The timing of the dishes was spot on. I was in a party of 3 and I tasted everyone's dish. The sourdough bread was disappointing! We were given rolls instead of a loaf. That's too much crust and not enough soft bread! And the color was an off-putting albino instead of golden brown. The butter was the same delicious as I remembered. I highly recommend the black cherry limeade served in a Tom Collins glass. It's non-alcoholic, but delicious. The cheesy garlic bread was soggy and could have used a bit more garlic. I wanted to use it to dip into my meal's pasta sauce, but it was too soggy & too cheesy for that. As a stand-alone appetizer it was OK. The chili was delivered to the table slightly cooler than room temperature! (We ought to have sent it back to be re-heated.) I remember it being very spicy. The flavor was off-putting to me. I'm not sure whether it was because it contained jalapeño juice or cumin - neither of which I like. I prefer my chili made with chili powder and cayenne. Best to ask before ordering. The sirloin steak was ordered medium and was delivered dry. I had the 15 layer lasagne, and it was as delicious as I had remembered it. Most restaurants can be good once you know what and how to order there. read more

Let me start off with I never do reviews unless I feel someone needs to be warned . 1) the food is no where near the same as the prior restaurant , very bland and almost comparable to ravioli from a can . Just flat awful 2) the atmosphere of the old spaghetti warehouse was second to none , this new place kinda makes you feel like you're in a modern deli . The new version of the trolley is an absolute joke . 3) last but least the parking is a nightmare. We was directed to a garage where there is homeless and smells very strong of human urine and waste . This was about 2 to 3 blocks away . I was a regular diner at the old restaurant for prob 35 years . And when I left this new restaurant me and my wife both agreed we would never return it was that bad from top to bottom . They are really gonna regret this in a few years you can write this in stone . read more

It is with great regret that I have to rate them for what I have to rate them with. Spaghetti Warehouse at his old location was phenomenal in my time living in Columbus, Ohio. Then there was a short period where it kind of fell off where the food just wasn't as good. Then a little before the closing of the spaghetti Warehouse, the food became phenomenal again. The red sauce was excellent. The pasta was perfect. The bread was just melting in your mouth and of course the atmosphere of the warehouse was excellent. However, there were things that happened in force them to move so I took some time. Waited with great anticipation for the new location to open. I waited on purpose a while just so they could work all the bugs out. I went on my son's birthday he wanted to go so we took him and it was absolutely horrible. The food was not good. The chicken parmesan was dry. The red sauce tastes like red water. The pasta was not good at all. The bread was horrible. The best thing about it was the service our server. She was nice and friendly. She was excellent but the food is why we were there along with trying to you know catch a glimpse of the new atmosphere which is not there at all. The ambiance of it is not at all like it was and I do understand things have to change but the one thing that could never change is the quality of food in the quality of food. The day I went was not good at all and it's not the service fault at all. The food is just not good and I regret and hate to say that because of the love I once had for spaghetti Warehouse and I regret to say I will never return again because of the food quality. One another note, parking can also be a big problem as well. Moreover, if you get a salad you will get it an extremely small salad. It's almost like a kids menu salad. It's not worth it. read more

Went for a family dinner on a Friday evening. Restaurant wasn't busy, but the food came out cold, and the salad didn't even come out until we reminded our server (who seemed inconvenienced by our presence.)

Food was subpar. I spent around 99 dollars with tip for 4 of us. The wedding soup was flavorless. Both my son and I had to shake the salt shaker like a maracas to add any flavor to the overly watered down soup. My wife got the spaghetti and decided it was also watered down so she didnt take any home. My son got the Lasagna and said it was ok. My daughter got spaghetti and meatballs and thought it was watered down in the sauce dept. I got the fettuccine and added italian sausage. Fettuccine was ok but the method of grilling the sausage at the old spot seems like it is now boiled and thrown on a grill for 2 seconds at best. Overall the place went from good food with nostalgic feel to a place with nothing to tie it to the old place. And the food is not as good as it was before the roof caved in and is higher price. Not a good combination when you also have to pay for parking. read more

Food was great. Loved the Arnold Palmer and Michelle S was a fun server. Add the cheese to 5 layered lasagna you won't regret it.

This just isn't the same in the new location. The food is just ok so without the fun nostalgia from the old location, I much rather go to another Italian place. But we were in the area and I wanted to see the new location. We didn't get two feet in the door till we were at our table. I believe there was a large party towards the back, so lots of families were going to that and clogging up the "lobby" which was like 10 feet from our table. Which made for a little not so intimate dinner. And the drinks were stronger than anything and tasted like nothing all at the same time. read more

They were having a special buffet for the Friday night concert series. The staff were more concerned with setting up for the event than the other customers in the restaurant. There appeared to only be one server that was also acting as the hostess. Ordered the sample appetizer. It was luke warm and poor quality. I had the ravioli for dinner. It was submerged in sauce that was odd tasting. Ravioli is clearly frozen. Restaurant is not great quality or worth the money. read more

First time to SW, never had been to old location. Made a reservation, and the reservations seemed booked up on Open Table yet it wasn't that busy inside? You could definitely just walk in and get a table it seemed (at least for a Thursday night). More casual of a restaurant than I thought (paper menus, paper napkins, plastic-ware for sauces/dressings, etc). Cocktails were not good... Food came out super quick actually, though was mediocre in my opinion. Manager did stop by the table to see if we needed anything. Street and garage parking/typical downtown parking situation. Overall, experience was fine but was a little underwhelmed. read more

We were looking forward to the reopening of the restaurant, unfortunately we were really disappointed. From the rather curt reception, we had a reservation, there were plenty of tables but made to wait, we were the only people waiting, so not sure of the purpose, however...the table service hit and miss, the food just average a little salt in the kitchen might help, and there really isn't any ambiance. It's a large open room with concrete floors, large windows, and open ceiling. like most places in the area, so it gets quite loud and difficult to have a conversation. read more

Right when you walk in you're greeted by Uncle Sam (iykyk). The new space is beautiful. While in a modern building, the walls hold the nostalgic decor that adorned the old location. The bartenders in the lobby accommodated 25 of us to have cocktails before we sat down. Michelle Stone and Lamont were our servers and provided great hospitality, while seamlessly staying organized with such a large group. Michelle has been with the company over 20 years and it was great to see her again having fun with the guests. The 15 layer lasagna tasted the same as it did over 10 years ago. I love that they still have the classics on the menu. Eli the busser is hands down one of the friendliest bussers I've come across. And he's been there probably 17 years! Adele worked hard in the kitchen and came out to see how everything was for our large group. The boss lady Julie was so accommodating for us. She is SO awesome and I'm so happy to see someone with her passion and tenure leading the New location to success. All the food came out hot and timely. This place knows how to orchestrate that. Hooray for a Columbus classic to reopen in a new and fresh location. Don't walk... Run! Great job spaghetti warehouse!! read more
