    Went here for an anniversary dinner and had a wonderful dining experience. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and talked us through each item, and the staff was very attentive. The food was fresh tasting and presentation was exceptional on the ii giubilei de giano! The restaurant has a welcoming ambiance that is lively but not too loud that you can the person across from you. Overall wonderful experience!

    Never ceases to amaze us! Each time we come we are overly impressed by the service, the server's knowledge and expertise of foods and wines, and the unbelievably delicious meal. It was difficult to choose our courses this time as everything sounded so good! Thank you!

    Pelino’s pasta is a whole experience. The food was so fresh. Every bite was delicious. I did order the Casio e Pepe and enjoyed that they brought it out to the table in a cheese wheel. The restaurant itself is very cute and the staff are obviously passionate about what they do. I will say that it was generally very noisy and a bit crowded, as the restaurant is small and seems to be quite popular. Overall though, I would highly recommend trying Pelino’s pasta and will definitely be back!

    We each had the Pellino’s dinner. You chose one thing per section. The chocolate dessert (24,000 Baci) was the best thing. Omg, heavenly with fresh caramel! Holy moly. Fresh pasta and focaccia and family owned. So well done and thought through. An intentional menu with the hidden symbolism to Italy, and the flavor development in every bite was a treat. Staff are all attentive and owners asked for feedback. Monthly menu changes. This was definitely up there for best meals in Columbus.

    Wow! This is the best restaurant I have been to in such a long time. I wanted to eat EVERYTHING on the menu. The food, wine, and service were absolutely amazing!!! For future diners looking at this review, my only comment would be that you can't simply order from the menu as you usually would - a la cart style. Instead, you select a sort of 'journey' which represents how many courses you want to eat, and you make your selections accordingly. It's very hard to make choices because everything looks and taste so delicious, so settle into the idea that you will need to share with your dining companions or return again shortly after visiting :)
