Editorial Review for Figlio – by Terry Ward Libby

The Menu
Other restaurants should take a lesson from Figlio that less is more. These pizza and pasta dining spots have simple menus with just a few carefully prepared offerings.

The Pie
Owner Peter Danis has taught cooking classes on how to make the perfect pizza dough. Toppings include kung pao shrimp, shredded barbecued chicken, caramelized onions and many imported cheeses. Diners are encouraged to design their own combos.

Hot Dish
The favorite pasta dish here is fresh linguine topped with chicken diablo sauce, creamy and spicy.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

The food is over-rated and there was an insect in my food. On the upside, I had a good server and the atmosphere is great. . . no comped meal for the big nasty insect in my pasta though.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The pizza (mushroom for me) is wonderful, dessert was outstanding. My husband had some delicious pasta. Service is a little on the slow side - but that is normal for Columbus on a Friday night. Reservations suggested! Having dined at Spagio (similar menu, also in Grandview) I was worried on my first trip to Figlio. Figlio did not disappoint, on a week night it is quiet and romantic. Not pretentious - so if you're looking for a place to be seen in or namedrop, go to Spagio.....if you're looking for good service and yummy food - a nice variety to choose from, and great salads and dessert - go to Figlio.

Pros: Tasty pizzas, pasta and desserts - best wood-fired pizza around!

Cons: Go on a weeknight, or make reservations!
