Favorite Italian dishes

It will probably be anything that phreakwars didn't have back in Iowa!

I love a great meatball ... chicken marsala ... pasta e fagioli ... linguini and clams ... canneloni ... cacciatore ... osso bucco ... my mouth is watering!

Settle down Joe, you're going to slobber over yourself and have a heartattack. WoW.

It's all good, but stop the cringe factor and remember, it is an "Italian" restaurant not an "Eye-talian" restaurant. There's no such place as "Eye-taly."
Capisce?

Is it going to be downtown? Maybe run by the little Polish guy? Or, by the tatoo artist?

I was told it would be below the Evans Hotel where the Mexican place was.
I am so happy it is not another Mexican, Pizza or sandwich shop.
So just think go down town and you can eat at Dusters, the Mexican place, Pickett fence or the Italian place.
I was sure it would not be by Columbus Music Mr. Mayor does not want his place to smell like tomato sauce. Bad enough to have egg on your face but then to smell of tomato sauce on top of that would just be too much.

Pasta with pesto, lasagna, baked ziti, and light as a feather cheesecake.

Any dish made by Rocco Siffredi is alright with me.

Eggplant Rollatini, Eggplant Parmigiana, Linguini Pecatore, Zuppa de Pesce, Pasta Primavera.

When does it open???

Shrimp Scampi, Fettucini Alfredo (with Shrimp and/or Chicken), Lasagna. Anything Italian would be GREAT!

So the Telegram starts a blog about a new Italian restaurant coming to town (it's about time---I got on this thread to complain that Columbus doesn't have an Italian restaurant)...but they don't give an article telling us the name, where it's going to be, or who's opening it...odd news reporting.

What is the scoop on the new restaurant ? Bet it wont last long let me guess going in a strip mall ? Since you asked Stouffer's Frozen lasagna is by far my top choice I dont waste my $ at the place called Olive Garden.

and what ever happened to Skeeter Barnes Barbecue going in to the old Signatures? I heard that awhile ago. Dut when I drove through town a few weeks ago, the building was still up for sale.

The sign is up downtown where El Tapatio USED to be.

Been waiting a long time for some diversity hope it does well.

I believe the place is called Tapoli's or something like that. My favorite has to be Chicken Fetticuni Alfredo...mmmm mmm!

My husband and I have been saying Columbus needs some real Italian eateries. Favorites would be Chicken Soto, Bruscetta drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, risotto with saffron, Colomba Pasquale...and top it all off with a bit of real Italian espresso.

Mmmmmmmm

Marwie, You're close.

Its Napoli's. Same people that operate the Napoli's in Salina, KS.

I've seen the signs, what's the holdup?

It's Naopoli's Italian Restaurant. Rumor has it, it should be open in the next 2-3 weeks. Menu looks diverse and very fairly priced. Heard they make everything (sauces, bread, pasta, etc.) fresh daily! Can't wait!

Just think a new restaurant, and a new viaduct for Columbus in the next 4 weeks things are looking better.
I would like to see a bakery open up the Danish Rolls in this town are awful.
