Lola & Giuseppe's Trattoria, Columbus OH

Nice family owned restaurant. Staff is upbeat, and the food was great. My waitress even sung happy birthday to me.

Wonderful, authentic, delicious Italian cuisine! My very Italian mother who is hard to impress loved this!

Oh my goodness, this food is some of the best I’ve had in my entire life! The pasta was delicious as was the Alfredo sauce. We got the bruschetta as the appetizer and couldn’t stop eating that either. Come hungry, as you will leave very full and very happy!

First time visiting after years of wishing. The food was excellent! I ordered chicken marsala. Staff friendly and attentive. Will definitely return soon!

Great tasting food, fast service, and reasonably priced. But, it's much better than I can describe.

Absolutely the best Italian food I have ever had. Highly HIGHLY recommend. They constantly refilled our drinks. Friendly staff. Manager came out and checked on us and talked. Will definitely be back.

The owner (i believe) of the restaurant was lovely — he was accommodating in fitting us in and told us the story of his family’s love of italian cooking at his grandmother’s house.the food itself was incredible, definitely the best pasta i’ve had in columbus.it’s also super affordable and is the perfect serving size.the complementary garlic bread was great as well.we sat outside on the patio which is quaint and a great atmosphere.once the sun was coming down, they were quick to close some curtains so the sun wasn’t in our eyes.some advice if you’re looking to come: book ahead! We came on a thursday evening and the only availability was the patio (even if we waited), so definitely book in advance if you want a guarantee of getting a table ̈

Delicious! Bruschetta was amazing and the limoncello was also great! Wonderful dining experience

Small but vibrant restaurant with the best Italian food I've found in Columbus! Wait staff was great and the portion sizes were plenty!

You know a place is good when they are only open for 3 hours a day and still do as much business as a chain restaurant open 24/7. The stuffed ravioli with shrimp is amazing. The tiramisu was super fresh! I'm happy to support Lola and Giuseppe's.

I don’t know where to begin but this was by far the best food I’ve had in years! The service was fantastic, the food was fresh and prepared with great care, and the patio was a really nice place to enjoy the evening. This place is fantastic!

I love this place! The chef is top-notch and the owner is friendly, without being obtrusive. I appreciate the intimacy of the restaurant, as it adds to the experience!

Home style Italian cuisine to die for. Gigantic meatballs homemade noodles great wine selection. After living in Italy for several years in the Navy, this is the closest I have found to authentic home style Italian. Like walking into the dining room of an Italian family. Guissepe is from Naples and will chat you up and Lola is a gem. Both love kids and eat em up! Great experience. Be careful you don't pass it though.

I have been to many different Italian restaurants all across the state of Ohio and the country. I must say, this was by far THE BEST Italian restaurant I have ever been to. The food, service and atmosphere was absolutely incredible. We even spoke to the owner and he was the most kind and amazing person ever. We will ABSOLUTELY be back!

The food is smashing! Amazing! The Chicken Marsala is to die for. Waitress was top notch. Go here and you’ll be a regular.
