Came here for a nice anniversary dinner with my partner! 🙂 Service was polite enough, though I did see other tables were getting more personalized and friendly service. I did note in the reservation that it was an anniversary dinner, but I guess that wasn’t conveyed to staff. Nobody was outright rude or anything, it just felt very… detached.
Atmosphere was very cozy, upscale without feeling uncomfortable. It got pretty noisy when the dining room got full, but I was here Saturday night, so no surprises there.
Drinks: I got a simple Moscato Spritzer, nothing to write home about but it’s just wine and bubbles, so it was perfectly nice. My partner got the Limoncello Martini, which was delicious– a very smooth, creamy sip, that was pleasantly tart and sweet, with the alcohol humming underneath rather than sharp. The spritzer was way too pricey in my opinion– $13 for a glass of Moscato with a cherry and some soda is… definitely pushing it.
Appetizers: Provided bread was very nice– came out warm, soft, with a pleasantly yeasty undertone. Garlic butter was incredibly strong on the garlic flavor, which some people might dislike but my partner and I personally loved. We also got the bruschetta, which was wonderful– tart and fresh tasting tomatoes, a great garlic undertone, with a solid sweetness and subtle vinegar hit from the balsamic. The mozzarella didn’t really add to it, personally– it got drowned out by the other flavors and textures.
Entrees: I got the Fettuccine Alla Romana– this was fantastic! The Alfredo was very smooth and creamy, not broken/separated the way some places have made their Alfredo in a haste. The homemade pasta was toothsome, bouncy, but soft– no toughness, in a good way! Mushrooms were cooked very well, soft and not rubbery, and the bits of salt from the smoked ham were nice. Peas got mostly lost in the sauce but I did occasionally get a pleasant sweetness from them. Portion size was good on this, I took home half.
My partner got the Linguini Aglio Olio– They really enjoyed the texture of the pasta, but found the distribution of flavor a little uneven. The olives added nice pockets of salt, and the garlic was great when it was there, but the rest was a little bland. Could’ve used some more olive oil, and the garlic hadn’t really diffused into it. They ate all of it and said portion size was fair.
Our total bill before tax was $87, and $94 with tax. It was a delicious meal, but definitely on the pricey side, and the service just didn’t wow me especially in comparison to how I saw other tables were being treated.

Everything was delicious! Because we got an appetizer and a dessert and a bottle of wine, it was really easy to spend a lot. The lasagna was absolutely heavenly. The noodles were so soft, I’d be surprised if they weren’t handmade. They advertise that most (if not all) of the noodles and sauces are made in house. Our waitress was so very kind. We went on a Tuesday at 7 o’clock and I was shocked at how many open seats there were! Based on that, I’d say reservations aren’t needed, but I would recommend making them if you want to dine on a Friday. The food was so good, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were pretty busy Friday through Sunday.

Food is authentic Italian. They bring out basket with 2 rolls. So one roll a piece. That is fine for me but my husband is Italian and he loves bread. The Cesar salad was not good – wilted lettuce and dressing was not that good. The Risotto balls were amazing! The spaghetti and Italian sausage were like nonnas. Cute atmosphere and large selection of wine. I don’t drink alcohol so did not try. Overall nice experience and would definitely go back!

Overall, this restaurant was a mixed experience. Upon arrival, there was an unusual smell in the space, which was a bit off-putting. The food and drinks were truly hit or miss, though the staff helped improve the experience. Service was on the slower side, but our waitress and the rest of the team were very friendly and attentive.
As for drinks, the limoncello martini was overly sweet for my taste, while the espresso martini was excellent and perfectly balanced. The house salad was good, home made dressing was slightly sweet and balanced. My husband ordered the special, the cioppino, which was very good at first; however, as the dish went on, the saltiness became overpowering. I ordered the risotto milanese, which was generous with seafood and enjoyable overall.
We ordered a kids’ pizza for our daughter, who kept spitting it out, which surprised us since she usually loves pizza. After taking a bite myself, I understood why…the pizza had an off taste that made it difficult to eat. I’ve never encountered a pizza I couldn’t finish, so I’m hoping this was just a one-off issue.
In the end, the friendly staff was the highlight, even though the service was slow. While some dishes and drinks were enjoyable, others missed the mark.

Took an hour to get food for six people . Pizza was bland with an odd taste to the cheese.
I would say the only thing good on the pizza was the pepperonis which I am glad I got extra of. My friend had a dish and said the chicken was terrible, she didnt eat the chicken.

our waitress Lauren was attentive, charming and helpful. everything we ordered was excellent BUT i am shocked by the fact that i had a tiny bit of tapenade on the plate with my salmon and when i asked for more, apparently the cook said there would be an extra charge and did charge me extra. astounding. perfectly astounding, laughing would they also charge me for an extra pat of butter.? one small gripe about the food, the house salad had three olives , that were not Italian, or just poor quality? and tasted like cheap California canned olives. bleh. Other than that, i question who would want to return to a place that charges for an extra bit of tapenade? actually that is strange. Maybe the cook was in a bad mood or the owners are cutting back on olives because of tariffs?? On the plus side the venue was absolutely lovely and our server was excellent. Kudos for Lauren who paid attention and was caring. the lemon sorbet was fabulous, absolutely fabulous, i could almost forgive the cook or who ever was in charge, for the extra charge for a tiny bit of tapenade. but then again, it sullied my opinion, and everyone else was shocked as well. simply an unconscious cheap move or perhaps the restaurant is in dire straits behind the scenes??? surely the owners would be more gracious? or maybe not? curious but as for returning, not quite sure.

We absolutely love this restaurant and choose it for date night as often as we can. The homemade pasta is so good and when we come we get apps, dinner and dessert. I truly don’t think you can order wrong-
We love the wine and espresso martini, the spumoni bomba for dessert (this part is NONNEGOTIABLE), and the arancini di ana Maria for apps.. and follow your heart for main dish! We love it and pray they’ll come to Hilliard some day soon!

I brought some of my extended family here and despite being busy at their peak time on a Saturday, they delivered an exceptional experience for all of us. The food was better than we could have anticipated, and the hospitality here is better than you can get nearly anywhere. I have never had short of a great time here, there is a reason I keep coming back and will continue to do so! Thank you.

I had never truly experienced authentic Italian food until I visited Claudina’s. Growing up, I was used to places like Spaghetti Warehouse and later Olive Garden, which don’t compare. I’ve also enjoyed Marcella’s, but Claudina’s took it to another level. I order chicken Alfredo everywhere I go, and you can immediately taste the difference between commercial Italian food and food that’s made with care and soul. The flavors were rich, balanced, and clearly prepared with intention—not rushed or mass-produced.
The restaurant itself is small, quiet, and tucked into a strip, but the atmosphere is beautiful—romantic, warm, and inviting. The leather seating, deep red tones, dim lighting, and crisp white linens give it a classic, intimate vibe. On top of that, the staff was extremely friendly, which made the experience even better.10 out of 10. I absolutely recommend giving this place a try.
