“ This is the absolute best Italian restaurant in Columbus. Unfortunately it is hidden in a small strip mall, and hides under a very unassuming sign that gives no hint and the jewel that is inside. I lived here for 20 years before I found this restaurant. Don't be like me, you need to eat here! ”
“ The first time we went to Claudiana, it was with some friends who love to go there. We quickly decided we wanted to go back. My husband had spaghetti and meat balls. I had Mediterranean Pescatore. The shrimp and calamari were cooked perfectly. This was a delicious dish! ”
“ A new place for us and generally above expectations. My fettuccine was not al dente so impossible to twirl as I prefer. Pescatore had plenty of seafood.. Veal parm was excellent. Each dish had plenty of well made sauce. Extra parmesan cheese was not needed. Service was conscientious but not stifling. Don't be put off by the strip mall location. Once inside, you won't even remember. Abundance of parking. ”
“ Would have never guessed that the best Italian food was hidden in this little shopping center. The staff is friendly and attentive and the restaurant is clean, inviting, and romantic. The food...top notch. I’ve been in Ohio for 10 years and have been on the hunt for the perfect Italian food, I could live on their spaghetti and meatballs and wedding soup! ”
“ Second time here and it’s quickly becoming my go to for Italian. The Fettuccine Alla Romana is just fantastic, and all of the food is great. Very well cooked Veal Parmesan. What’s really impressive is how all of the servers and the owners are out there working as a team to check on you and bring out the food. They had a party of 19 and still didn’t skip a beat! I tip my hat to the owners ”
