The 10 Best Italian Restaurants In Columbus

August 25, 2017

Hello Friday. It's James.

This was not an easy list to create.Columbus is blessed with plenty of excellent Italian restaurants. Further compounding the difficulty is that everyone has a different idea of what good Italian means. To some, it's a cozy family run restaurant that makes perfect pasta. To others, it's old world Italian fine dining. In the end, this is our ten best. But a second list might have to be in order soon.Navigator full story: The 10 Best Italian Restaurants In Columbus [Miller]
