I went to Venucci earlier this week to celebrate my birthday and the entire experience was…read moreabsolutely wonderful! The food was delicious. The service was great! Shelby and the rest of the staff were all very nice and attentive. There were so many good food choices that it took everyone a while to make their final decision -- Shelby was patient with us as we decided. The restaurant is big enough for everyone to have their own space with their dining party, but small enough to give a private dinner feel. I will definitely return to Venucci and recommend others try it out!

We were antiquing in LaGrange and had worked up an appetite. On Main Street we found three…read morerestaurants that were recommended, and tried Venucci. It was 1:30 on a Wednesday, and we were surprised to find the restaurant still full of customers; but there was a nice table for us. I'm always happy when a restaurant has several choices of wine and beer, a good assortment of appetizers, salads, main dishes and desserts. So far so good. We started with wine and a Caesar salad, followed by fettuccine Alfredo and chicken Marsala. The servings were so large, that despite our hunger, we took enough home for our dinner. The food was very tasty. And the restaurant is located in a historic building, with exposed brick, and displays racks of wine, and has a bona fide pizza oven. Note to self: must return to try pizza, the crab and shrimp dishes, and desserts!

Their menu offers a solid variety of pasta dishes, from the classics to creative twists. Every meal comes with unlimited garlic dinner rolls and a house salad, which is always a nice touch. For the main course, I went with the Pasta Lover's Special--a mix of different pasta noodles topped with red meat sauce and mushrooms, paired with a meatball and sausage link. The sauce really carried the dish, but next time, I would try something else on the menu. What truly stood out? The service. Our waiter was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a warm and welcoming spot with great food and even better service! Definitely worth a visit.

We were attending a concert in downtown Columbus, so I wanted to have dinner relatively close. This…read morerestaurant had been under construction the last time we visited, but it was a viable option this time. I made a reservation a month or so in advance (though it may be possible to get a table closer to your target date than that). We arrived just before our 5:45 p.m. reservation. It was bitterly cold that day, so I dropped my wife off and searched for parking. My advice: there seemed to be more spaces available on 1st Avenue north of the restaurant. I circled around some other streets first and found nothing. The restaurant itself is a somewhat narrow but deep space in its building. When you enter, the first room has the bar on the left and tables on the right. There is a secondary smaller room towards the back which was where our table was. Our waiter showed up and got our drink orders. There was an extensive list of specials and drinks, which was fine. I don't think we opted for them, but it was nice that they had a changing variety of dishes. As this was our first time here, everything was a novelty. I had some wine; the pours were average. I think the entrees came with salads, which were good. For the main dish, I had to decide between lasagna, spaghetti, and a mushroom ravioli + steak option. I went with the latter, and was pleased. The steak was just 4 oz, but that's fine given the overall dish. It was cooked well and tasty. The ravioli were good as well. I did not manage to finish them, but enjoyed them for lunch the next day. My wife opted for a fish dish which she also liked. We did not want to overdo dinner with dessert as we had a performance to attend. Otherwise, I'd have checked that out. The last thing I'll comment on is the music selection. They were featuring "Spanish guitar" covers of pop songs, but the mix was pretty eclectic - it included Beatles, CCR, the Theme from Forrest Gump, etc. I enjoyed it quite a bit, to the point that I emailed them to ask about it. It definitely wasn't just a generic background music stream! We are planning to attend another performance in Columbus later in the Spring, and I have already made a reservation to return to Mabella's.

They had soft music in the background and since it wasn't busy, we could hear each other and carry on a conversation!We were seated quickly and our waiter came over to take our drink order and ask if we had any questions. We opted to order from the lunch menu. It's great option, especially if you eat smaller portions and/or on a budget. The portions are perfect and it includes a soup or salad. I ordered the Lasagna Bolognese with the Sicilian Chicken soup. My husband ordered the Penne Bolognese (with sausage) with the Italian salad. Everything was SO delicious. We ordered the Limoncello cake to go. I have been craving a piece of this cake for so long, it was so satisfying to eat Definitely recommend coming here.
