Lola has put together a memorable restaurant, almost as memorable as Lola herself. She is a charicature of every ethnic grandmother around, with her flour handprints on the well worn apron, and her description of the special dessert she created for tonight. The only down side here is that her devoted clientele have outgrown the space available, even with the... More

One of the best Italian meals I have had in Columbus. Others who dined with us said "Pizza was awesome! Halibut was perfectly prepared and veal was delicious." The lemon sorbet for dessert was...

We went here for dinner this week after reading rave reviews and it was absolutely wonderful. It's pretty cool being greeted by Lola herself and her saying "welcome to my little restaurant". The food is all homemade and just delicious. We went for classic italian dishes and absolutely were not disappointed. We had the gnocchi and the spaghetti and meatballs.... More

Food was amazing packed full of flavor! If I go somewhere nice I am expecting great food, good... More

When you see there really is a Lola and a Guiseppe cooking in the kitchen and welcoming guests, you are embraced by the hospitality one hopes for in a small trattoria.

This is a quaint little Italian restaurant with the best food. We had the panini sliders. Judy our server said the chef bakes the bread. Each one was different and filled with cheese and... More

Loved the food and atmosphere! I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and the meatballs were very tender and flavorful! The chicken marsala was wonderful as well. The garlic bread was wonderful!! Our waitress also knew the wine selection which was wonderful! We will return if I return to the area.
