Reviews for Alodia's Cucina Italiana in Columbia, SC
Do not recommend at all. First my wife ordered some chicken pasta dish. The chicken came out with slices of lemon over the top... of them. The chicken tasted like straight grilled lemon. We had calamari for an appetizer and it was under fried. I will give athumbs up to not having just rings but also the little squid. I ordered some mignon over potatoes and broccoli. The steak wasgood and so were the broccoli. The potatoes were soaked in with some sauce that made them disgusting. Since my meal had noAlfredo pasta nor was there a choice for Alfredo pasta side I had to order chicken and broccoli Alfredo pasta. While trying thepasta I decided I would take it home and fix it. The sauce was a complete butter overload. Then probably the worst part. Themenu with only 1 side that has what you can pick to eat and lack of information on it. Come to find out I ordered a 52 dollarmeal!!!!!!! Completely not even close to being worth it. 2 people 112 bucks. Really? Our waitress was nice but reached across usto fill glasses rather than ask for them. Honestly go to olive garden. The bread is better, you get a salad, and pasta isincluded with multiple dishes. Plus you aren't spending 50 bucks on something that is worth half that. Read more
One of my most preferred restaurants in all of the Columbia area. I have tried almost all the menu offerings and they are... delicious and done correctly. The staff are professional and have guided me with consecutive excellent dining experience. Read more
My sister and I ordered the mahi-shrimp special while her boyfriend had lasagna. The mahi and shrimp were supposed to be... blackened but none of it was. The taste of everything was bland not only to me. My sister and her boyfriend mentioned the samething. This was my first and last trip there. There are a few other Italian restaurants in the area that have better food andare more affordable. The prices here are ridiculous. Read more
I want to start by saying I?m from nyc and know good food when I see it. The wife and I went last night for dinner. Let me tell... you Chef Jon out did himself with the special menu he created. The flavors all came together. We tried the Duck bolognese , Tunacarpaccio, Cab steak, and the shrimp and Mahi nduja. Let me tell you I can?t even pick a favorite. We were loving them all. I?vebeen there a few times and always had a good experience with there regular menu. If it?s your first time or if your a regular,go check out there special menu, you will not be disappointed. Oh and Ps , if you love Cheesecake you have to try there manyassorted flavors they have weekly . Read more

This place was amazing. We had Ian as our server & he was on top of it! Our drinks stayed full and he was on top of our bread... and gave great service. The food was delicious! I did take a photo of the dessert which was also delicious. It was a raspberrycheesecake. We WILL be back. Especially since this was our first visit. Read more
Food was excellent. My girlfriend had the chicken picata and I had the pasta with steak and a mushroom demi glaze. Both were... to die for. The steak melted in your mouth. The service was impeccable. Our drink glasses never got empty and our waitress,Morna, was so pleasant. As a matter of fact she was the only one wearing a mask and that was much appreciated. We willdefinately be back and will be asking to sit at her station. Really liked this restaurant better than the Lexington one. Ifthere were 10 stars, you would have received 10. Excellent choice for dinner. Read more
