Bistrolino Old World Kitchen - Columbus

I went to this restaurant with some colleagues from work and we all had a great time. Bobby, our server, was fantastic and exceeded our expectations with his skills in preparing food for a large group. We started off with a variety of delicious appetizers that were enjoyed by everyone. The atmosphere of the place was cozy and the outdoor seating area was beautiful. They also offer a great selection of cocktails and the dining experience was like no other.

I placed an online order for pickup at this restaurant. They initially said it would be ready in 30 minutes, but it ended up taking 50 minutes. I waited outside for 20 minutes because the sign instructed me to stand there, and there was no space provided or explanation given for the delay. When I finally received my food, it was overcooked and cold. I felt that a frozen pizza would have been a better option in terms of taste, cost, and speed. Additionally, the bottom of the food box was covered in a sticky sauce that ended up getting all over my hands and car seat. Perhaps dining in at the restaurant would provide a better experience, but based on my pickup experience, I do not recommend trying their takeout service.

The chef was fantastic. The kitchen is visible from the dining room and he delighted us with details about the kitchen and restaurant background. The food was delicious. We all ordered different dishes and shared everything. We were pleasantly surprised by how tasty the smoked salmon tortellini was. Will we be returning?

Had Valentine's dinner there, very cozy and amazing food. If one of our appetizers or drinks took a little longer than expected, they were extremely apologetic. Will definitely be visiting again!!

We love spending evenings at Bistrolino!The food is always outstanding but the locally-owned and operated atmosphere brings us back frequently ?The bar side, Ferdinand, is a great cozy place to spend a cold winter night. We always meet some interesting fellow patrons!
