My wife and I ate a late lunch here on Black Friday, 2023, around 135pm.
Service: The hostess wasn't really friendly. No smile and didn't greet us. She took us to a table and walked off. I'm assuming she didn't want to be there on the day after Thanksgiving, maybe. The waitress was a little better. She was polite and friendly enough.
Food: Free bread and garlic butter were very good. My wife ordered gnocchi with pomodora sauce, and it was delicious. I asked for Chicken Parmigiano with spaghetti. The noodles texture was as if they were sitting on a pot all day. Not al dente. The chicken was excellent; crispy on the outside breading and juicy inside. Sauce wasn't anything special. We also each ordered the Italian wedding soup. The gentleman who brought them out spilled mine a little, and he didn't acknowledge nor apologize. It was flavorful.
Atmosphere: the seats were dirty and had straw wrapper pieces and I thought perhaps it was an oversight from the busboy cleaning the tables but as I watched him clear the other tables, I noticed he only wiped off the tables and not the seats. The music and ambiance were fine.
Overall, i liked the place. I'd come back for the food, but the hostess and cleanliness could be better.
Carfagna's had the best Italian food in Columbus! I love all of their pastas, and they also have very good appetizers. The atmosphere is great, the staff are all nice, and the portion size is hearty. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for tasty authentic Italian food without the outrageous prices.

We go several times a month for the meat and wine tastings. Always top notch quality and experiences! The restaurant is so lively and friendly staff. There was a live musician singing and he was very enjoyable! We had martinis, gnocchi with creamy pomodoro sauce, and hot tea. It all satisfied the taste buds and was a great experience.
Carfagna’s restaurant is clean. The employees are nice the weight staff is great, Dani took good care of our party of three people for a late lunch. The lasagna was fantastic and the wedding soup would be hard to beat and the sandwiches and soups are great. Thanks so much for having such a good restaurant that we can all enjoy. Not to mention the retail store, best meat in Columbus, for real Jim.
We went for a late birthday lunch and it was very good service. They do have gluten free pasta (penne) and gluten free pizza. Both are great but I loved the pizza. I also got a limoncello that was excellent.
Really good food, kitchen was a little slow. Server was great but seemed to be stretched thin so visits were few. Very basic decor, lots of hard surfaces made the room noisy.
First time eating in the restaurant and the service was fast and the food was hot and yummy! Good selection of appetizers. We chose the half pan pizza and chicken Parmesan sandwich, which were both baked well and tasted good. We split it all and the portions were big for us so, we had food to take home for each of us. Would definitely recommend if looking for something to eat outside of the chain restaurants in the Polaris area.
Mixed feelings on this. I buy their sauce in the store all the time. Our waiter was superb. Food was okay. Ordered the eggplant parmesan and just seemed it was missing something. It was decent though. Good portions and bigger selection of sauces that you can purchase there as well. I do plan to go back for different dish. Oh, cheesecake good and generous slice!
I ordered the Stromboli and my wife ordered a salad with dressing on the side. After a long wait, the salad came out with the wrong dressing already on it. An honest and quickly resolved mistake but all well worth it. The food is amazing.
I had a chance to stop by for a after work outing and boy was I amazed. The smoked cocktail was delicious and the food was very different and delightful. I also like the liquor store selection and the fun ice cubes. I will be back for sure!
