Novella Osteria

Service was top notch, they checked in frequently but not annoyingly despite how busy the place was on a Friday night. Food was amazing and super filling. Got the crispy pork belly and mushroom ricotta crostini for appetizers and both were delicious. Only request would've been to have had the mushrooms warmed up so the temp would've been consistent throughout the crostini. Pasta was perfect. And because our eyes were bigger than our stomach, we also got fried brussels on the side. I thought these were a bit more on the burnt side but the pomegranate was a lovely touch. Looking forward to coming back as their menu changes every season and it just so sounds delicious. Also cocktails were very tasty but also very strong.

Had a wonderful time here with friends. The food was unreal— you can tell everything is fresh and made in house! Our server Andrew S was amazing! Such a warm personality, super kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu!

We had the: Lamb Bolognese with Grana Padano. And the Short Rib Ragu Rigatoni Staff was kind, respectful, willing to chit chat a little since they were not super busy (reservations for Sat at 6pm). We received our food very quickly and both dishes were absolutely amazing, if you've never been to this restaurant, Ita worth going too. I bet you'll be back for a second time as well, I know we will!

Nice place. Pretty good dishes and drinks. The tiramisu was good, unique salads which also stood out.

The food here is good, and the service is phenomenal. I can't wait to come back. Their complimentary bread knocked me off my toes off the rip, it's dense and buttery with a little salt on top. The pork belly was bomb, and they put small pieces of apple in their polenta which was a real treat. I expected them to go light on portion sizing due to the nature of this restaurant, but every dish was a very hearty portion. My entree, the lasagna, came with two hearty pieces. I cannot remember the name of our waitress but she did a great job! Sorry I forgot your name.

Went in several days ago for a date night. The service was as good as always. The food was a little greasier than how I prefer it. But it was my fault for not making the requests beforehand. Otherwise, everything was great. The appetizer was fresh and the desert was delicious! I ordered Alfredo pasta with chicken and parm cheese. Loved it!

We went there with my husband and his parents, they all loved their food. I like pork belly. The restaurant was nice but service was bad. The lady with short blonde hair, she was pretty rude to my in-laws, my husband, and ignore when I tried to order some drink by looking at me and just walked away and came back later. If I could I would say something, but I didn't want to ruin my birthday dinner like she did.

Great experience at Novella! The atmosphere was beautiful and modern. Despite it being packed on a Saturday night it still was very romantic. The bread to start was delicious. For an appetizer, the meatballs were yummy and a pretty big portion for two. We got the seafood fettuccine and the rigatoni, both were especially great entrees. At the end of the meal, the lemon cookies were delicious! The only small con was that service did take a bit of time between drinks/appetizer/entree so I would recommend ordering app and entree together to take less time. Overall, a very pleasant atmosphere and experience, with some of the best Italian food in Columbus that I’ve had.
