Cardone's Restaurant Reviews

Fantastic lunchtime lasagna and salad. First time eating here and will be returning.

We enjoyed dinner at Cardone's before taking in a play at Otterbein. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the noise level was actually low enough to hold a conversation. Highly recommended.

Great food. The only restaurant I have found in central Ohio that serves ossabuco.

This chef has been highly trained as the food is exceptional Service was also first rate. Worth the trip to Westerville.

Excellent food and great service! Highly recommend their pizza!

This is FINE Italian cuisine. Great date spot. The fresh calamari appetizer was cooked to absolute perfection - best I've ever had. You'll want every entree on their menu. I highly recommend the Gnocchi al Gorgonzola with grilled chicken. It was even better than our waitress described!

This is mine and my husband's favorite Italian restaurant. He will pretty much go to no other. They have fantastic spaghetti and meatballs and the chicken carbonara is delicious. We always get the Cardone's salad and you can't leave without tiramisu.

LOVE this restaurant. Their marinara sauce is best ever and occasionally they have specials that their chef/owner Dan creates that are world class. My absolute favorite restaurant in Columbus.

Really amazing food, the osso buco was extremely tender and flavorful, my girlfriends cheese ravioli was awesome, service was excellent. I would recommend reservations as the place is very small

Food was great. The Hostess did stress that they prefer reservations, which i found weird.

Go There! excellent food. Small neat place, great atmosphere.

I had never been to Cardone's before and was searching for a good restaurant that was not part of a chain while visiting Columbus, OH. The service was exceptional and the food was amazing. I had the chicken carbonara and have not had any better! The bread was fresh and soft on the inside with a nice crunchy crust, and the herb infused olive oil was a nice touch. Will definately return!

Staff very friendly and courteous....I just wish the food was up to the same bar as well. It was also pricy for veggie lasagnas that tasted poor. My mom and I visited Ohio recently and as said while the people were nice- your stomach can't be satisfied with niceness.

I've eaten at Cardone's on more than 50 occasions, including personal and business, and the food as well as the service has always been outstanding. Business colleagues visiting for a day always request to go back to Cardone's so they can order their favorite or try something new.

It was ok. We had a great waitress and the service was timely, however we were disappointed in the serving size of some of the meals we ordered- in particular the stuffed shells. My mother in law ordered a glass of wine and she didn't get very much, maybe like 3 ounces. She was disappointed by that

We found our go to resteraunt for Italian food! From the Squid appetizer to the Sausage Arrabiatta. This place hits all the high notes except an important one for me. The way to the restroom was so narrow my wheelchair had a difficult time fitting, then there was not enough room to make the turn into the men's room. Effectively I had to get out of the chair and support myself on different things to me it to the toilet. BTW one person bathroom no stalls a minor plus for me. The bathroom is not handicapped friendly as in there were no railings anywhere. Also the ramp to get up on the sidewalk is at the other end of the strip mall ths is located in. The food and service were both totally awesome but it isn't made for a wheelchair bound person.

I feel like I'm home when I'm here. Great atmosphere and music playing. Very intimate and nice to dine at. On top of that, most importantly, the food is on point everytime. They make all of their dressings, sauces, and tiramisu in house. I definitely recommend this place!

Best Italian restaurant we have ever had! Great service.

Great food nice comfortable place to eaat. Great service but server's they go above and beyond.

We sort of stumbled into Cardone's while in search for a place to eat dinner. It was much fancier than we had anticipated and we felt a bit under dressed simply walking in wearing jeans and sweatshirts. However, despite our attire and despite us not having made a reservation the staff was incredibly friendly and found us a table in the charming intimate dining room. The food was delicious and tasted so fresh! We had stuffed portobello mushrooms for an appetizer, Bolognese lasagna and caprese chicken along with Italian wedding soup for entrees, and cannoli for dessert. The wait staff was very kind, helpful, and attentive. We will definitely be returning!

Nice place. Good atmosphere. I expected Frank Sinatra to walk out of the back at any moment.

Brilliant Italia-centric wine list. Staff is very accommodating and well versed on the wine and food menus. We've never had a bad experience. What a great small, local, family owned and operated restaurant to have in Westerville.

Love this place!! The food is amazing and the wine is delicious! Always a great experience

Truly a greta resteraunt. Absolutely love the food and a great atmosphere.

One of the best Italian restaurants around. Intimate setting with great service and food

This place is amazing. The ambiance and food both remind me of when I was in Italy. Everything is made from scratch. The service was great as well.

Our new found secret .
Awesome food..
Intimate atmosphere..
Perfect date night.

Nice little place where the owner is in the kitchen, creating unique Italian and American dishes. Great food and great service!

Great service. Food cooked to order
Stuffed pepper was great
Wife loved stuffed shells

My experience at Cardones was absolutely incredible! At first i was unsure of what to order, but my waitress helped me pick and sure enough it was delicious. The portion was great and I will definitely be back in here soon!

Truly outstanding food and service. I've been coming here for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. Solidly in my mental list of terrific restaurants in town and I recommend it to anyone coming to town.

I suggest the cheese ravioli. The candied walnuts are amazing! The chocolate cake is the best cake ever!

I stop in Westerville for business a few times a year and have enjoyed Cardone s each time. The chef/owner Daniel remembers me each time and if I m indecisive on my meal choice he has offered to make something special if it s not too busy. I like that personal touch and care.

This recent visit he made me an Orange Roughy dish that was very nice and gave me extra anchovies and Kalamata olives on my salad.

What really stood out this time and spurred me to write a review was the family atmosphere. Daniel s wife came in after work just to have a cup of coffee with him. He introduced us and she sat for a cup of coffee and had a nice conversation. I felt at home.

Thank you Daniel. Sorry, I have forgotten your wife s name but it was a pleasure to meet her.

Far and away the best Italian restaurant in Columbus

A quaint & romantic place but it was hot as heck inside! The waitress said they had been having issues withAC unit & on an 80 night it was painful. I ordered a glass of Pinot & my lady ordered a gin martini - my glass was the size of a shot while hers was up to the rim of a huge martini glass. The food was excellent but just too hot. I would go back, but not until December.

Great food. Very very good sauces and flavors, cooked to perfection.

I placed an order through Amazon Restaurants. A few moments later, I was notified the restaurant cancelled my order. I called to inquire why. A person told me they decided to not participate in this program today. I explained I now had $60 tied up in this order and would like to know why they are not participating. He gave a shifting explanation and ultimately hung up on me without providing any help. This person is named Dan and claimed to be the owner. No thanks, Bruh.

Amazing Staff, amazing food! Best Italian restaurant in Columbus! .

Excellant! Never disappoints. Old World Italian at its best
Servers are friendly, yet professional. Chef Dan is awesome !

Great spot. Has become a regular stop! Try the daily special soup and entree - never disappoints!

Some of the best food I have had. This place have good food and nice staff. Prices are fair.

Great locally owned and operated Italian place. Quaint and just formal enough. Food is above average every time. The carbonara is the best!

Great atmosphere and you can actually hear a conversation...and the food is great!

Every item on the menu that we have tried has been beyond delicious! Their warm bread, perfectly sized salads full of fresh veggies and berries are just the start! Calamari appetizer is never chewy, and always tastes fresh. Dinners are proportioned to leave you full, but wanting more because they are so delicious! Very highly recommend, my favorite Italian restaurant in the Columbus area!

Excellent scratch made Italian food. Service is exceptional.

Food was delicious, especially the chicken carbonara. Bread was fresh and warm. Service was great, not hovering. The restaurant was clean and the music was not overpowering. Great place to spend my birthday dinner.
