Figlio

Very pretentious. Stopped for a glass of wine, was hesitantly sat at bar. Poor service. Never refilled water, even after ordering second glass. Everyone got bread/oil, except me. Clientele appears old and established with servers. I'd skip for somewhere I'm appreciated.

My wife and I were regulars at the Riverside location for years before Covid and real estate values killed it. We took an old friend to the Grandview location to relive the good times before our relocation to PA. The feel was very familiar, and we enjoyed the evening. I always order a glass of whatever wine special they have, and the Italian red did not disappoint. I was a little disappointed to see that the menu was a little smaller that the Riverside restaurant's, and my all-time-favorite dish (mushroom and roasted chicken ravioli) was not available. I was able to find something else, and enjoyed the lemon chicken with parmesan cream pasta. My wife had the chicken diablo, and our friend went with the classic spaghetti and meatballs. We all loved our meals, deserts, and drinks. Like the Riverside location, the staff was super friendly and attentive, and the place was very clean and bright. They were doing a nice business for a chilly Tuesday, and the buzz was good. We will miss Figlio's when we move. A solid 5!

Easily 5 stars. I have never been disappointed anytime I have gone here. Outstanding! My compliments to the chef and Eva our server. She did a wonderful job not only making us feel welcome but recommended drinks and dinner. Extremely friendly and a lovely person. I ordered the Lake Erie walleye and talk about perfect!The recommended wine was the villa Barbi Italian red blend. Such a perfect winner to compliment my meal. Thank you everyone for creating a special place in Ohio. You're doing it right, keep it up!

The Italian eatery is a staple in the Columbus community and I see why. There is a good service staff that is present. Allowing you to finish your meal and conversation close to closing time, which is typical of true Italian restaurants. The food ranges from good to great and I have had great pasta and good pizza there. It is consistent. This time we opted for the pizza and wine combo with me choosing an odd pairing of asparagus and bell peppers. It was good but I will stick to my tried and true next time. I wasn't feeling the creamy and slightly heaviness of the pasta this time. To go outside the box with wine to boot at $25 -30/person was also relatively on par for restaurants here. I would say if you want more bang for your buck to stick with the pasta dishes. Also keep in mind that most menu items do have meat in them which will quell the price of the meal. I am speaking for the vegetarians and pescatarians in the house. I am sure the meatballs and meat pizzas are great for that is there specialty. The americanized Italian food served here is fit for a family meal or a get together with friends or a date night. They attempt to appeal to everyone here and it seems they have. Ciao!

Loved my experience here! We had the margarita pizza, chicken diablo, and lemon chicken with Parmesan cream pasta. I think the pizza had to be my favorite, but everything was delicious! They also offered complementary bread and oil wish was amazing! Knocked off one star ONLY because I wish the appetizer list was better! They only offer salads as an appetizer. I'd suggest adding calamari, arancini, meatballs, etc!

We decided to try Figlio out for Restaurant Week. The atmosphere was quaint and cozy and they had a great selection of wines. The Restaurant Week menu was salad, entrée and dessert for $30 which was a great deal. I really enjoyed my arugula, spiinach and goat cheese salad (the flavor profiles were great!), but the pacing of the next course was frustrating as we began our salads, the meal immediately came out. The prosciutto and artichoke entrée was delicious as well with a light garlic sauce over fresh pasta with spinach and tomatoes. I finished with the crème brulee which was the star of the show!I liked Figlio. I don't think they have a happy hour, but I'd definitely give them another shot.

The food here is always a win. And the service was great. Thank you for taking good care of us, Alyssa! We went for Restaurant Week. For starters I enjoyed a very dirty Tito's martini with extra Gorgonzola stuffed olives. I had the Caesar salad, pasta with chicken and red pepper cream sauce, and the tiramisu. The Caesar salad was a bit bland I admit - it needed more garlic. But the lettuce was super cold which I love. The pasta was amazing. Super creamy with plenty of sauce for the bread which they serve with a yummy olive oil and herb mixture. The olive oil is a very good quality - bright and green. The tiramisu - WOW! The best I've had. They make everything they serve from scratch there. But the tiramisu is delivered from New York City bc it's that good. It's worth going here just for the tiramisu. We willBe back soon!

Pizza-centric but don't sleep on the bread, wine and dessert. Got a table for two on a Friday night around 8:00 without a reservation. I was surprised at the large size of the place because you only see one half of the dining room when walking in the front door. We sat in the second room with the bar, and the dim lights set a perfect date night ambiance. Upon being seated we received a plate of their focaccia and oil, and it stands out in a great way against other Italian restaurants. From there we had three glasses of wine at about $10-$11 per glass. The fall harvest pizza had a spicy kick (as described on the menu) and was solid. I liked prosciutto hot honey pizza a little better, but I feel like I would have liked any of their pizzas due to the not too crisp/not too thin thin flatbread crust. Finished up with the voodoo brownie and tiramisu. Tiramisu was good; voodoo brownie topped with ice cream and drenched in chocolate was great. Lastly the service was outstanding. Very nice and attentive, and they smoothly handled the gift certificate that we used for a portion of the tab. Grandview Ave has many restaurants to choose from between 1st and 5th Aves, but Figlio will not disappoint.

First time here for restaurant week. I loved the space. It was super cozy and warmly lit. I was overall impressed by the food. The bread and oil for the table is remarkably yummy and addictive. Salad was fresh and pasta was properly cooked. Unfortunately my tiramisu was frozen solid in the middle. I also found our server to be detached and seemingly annoyed to be there. But I'd give them another shot to try the regular menu. It would be a fantastic date night spot.

I posted a previous review of Figlio Upper Arlington and this is my review of the Grandview location. I was a long time patron of Figlio UA from its opening until its unfortunate closure when the property being sold to a developer. While the UA location was open my trips to Grandview were infrequent but enjoyable so, while a much longer drive, we've made Grandview a regular stop with the UA closure. Fortunately Michael, the UA manager, also moved to Grandview and now operates the location. The service and food remain excellent and the Grandview interior has a homier vibe. On our most event visit my girlfriend ordered her usual mushroom truffle pizza and I had the lemon chicken in Parmesan cream. Both were once again excellent. The latter has become a new favorite as the pasta and sauce are consistently good. I've had probably every pasta dish and many of the pizzas on the menu and always pleased. Particular favorites include spicy blackened chicken, chicken diablo and chicken w/pepper cream sauce. The per glass wines are well chosen and reasonably priced as are wines by the bottle.I'd be remiss if I overlooked the service. Management is diligent in selecting personable servers who are well trained in providing an excellent experience. That applies to the bar servers as well. Figlio deserves a look if you've not been there.
