Reviews for Johnny's Italian Steakhouse in Columbus, OH

Extreme waste of time and money! Keeping in mind the restaurant only have a few tables filled during our duration... The... reservation was at 3:45 pm for 8 people. We had to wait until 4 pm to order dinner which was fine because brunch was the onlyoption. However, the server (Jennifer) didn't bring us menus until 4 pm so we couldn't even look to see what we wanted to order.She finally took our orders at 4:15 when she came back. Never saw her again until 4:45 when they finally brought some salads(apparently they couldn't get the Caesar salads ready). By this time over half our table needed refills on drinks, but shedidn't stay long enough for us to mention. I had to go to the bar to get straws because she didn't give us enough at thestart. 15-20 minutes later, they came with all the entrées. We finally got refills at this point. My Chicken Parmigiana lookedok but had a weird texture to it, almost grisly. It was cooked but maybe had freezer burn? Another person got it as well andagreed something was wrong with it. Mashed potatoes had a lot of large lumps in it. Temperature of food was luke warm, not hot.Another person ordered the ribeye. She did not like it at all. Visually, it was only about ½ inch thick. One child ordered thesteak sandwich. It was extremely well done!! Luckily, I don't think he cared he was so hungry. Birthday girl (mother) orderedthe creme brulee for dessert. (We asked for bills at this point.) The sugar on the top was coarse (large pieces) so it didn'tmelt and form the barrier you would expect. She didn't finish it. We were still waiting for our bills. My bill was wrong. Bothchildren's drinks were charged $4 each when they were supposed to be part of their meal (says it on the menu). I realized thereason she sucked so bad was because they added 20% gratuity to the bill so she didn't have to worry about her tip. Obviously,she wasn't good enough for the 18% standard. We finally could leave at 6:07 pm, about 2½ hours later! Needless Read more

I've enjoyed one of the best meals in my life, the veal Sinatra was perfection, the dessert was simply a masterpiece and the... attention was simply amazing!! I recommend 100% worth every last penny. Portions are more then enough for a lumberjack appetite. Read more

Went for restaurant week so had good hopes it was going to be good. But it really wasn't. First its located in the Hilton hotel... and it's a beautiful property. But, that's kinda where it ends. A reservation was made for 6:30 pm and my party and I actuallyshowed up a little earlier just in case it was busy. Luckily, it wasn't But we were still sat around 6:50pm. I ordered a steak,was absolutely delicious the baked potato was okay it was sweet which was off-putting. Two of my other party members orderedthe spicy cavatappi, the sauce had no flavor at all and just didn't have a nice mouth feel. We also ordered dessert, the warmchocolate cake and a banana cheese cake. The chocolate cake was not bad, very small for what you're paying for. The cheese cakewas very lumpy and bland but the bananas on top were very delicious. Also the restaurant week menu does not come with bread,salad or anything with the meal. I asked for bread and they didn't charge me for bread that I think I saw. However it was sogross no flavor, weird texture, and cardboard tasting. All in all, was nice to try, but I would not go back. The drinks werepretty good if but not worth going back for the bar. Read more

I ate here three times doing my stay in the Hilton and was more than satisfied. The staff did well with accommodating my dairy... allergy and the food was good. I ordered food late one night as I didnt realize the kitchen closed within the hour and myWaldorf salad didn?t have the apples. I usually don?t order in those situations but overall good experience here. The servicewas good and the environment is clean and calming. Read more

Excellent! Took my grandson there for his 16th birthday. We both enjoyed the food. Steak was tender juicy?cuts like butter.... Chicken Parmesan and Fettuccini were both delicious. I forgot to take a picture but we finished with warm chocolate cake andcinnamon ice cream. There was plenty to share. It was so rich and good. I definitely would go here again. Read more

Came here for a graduation dinner as it was the only restaurant that had available reservations. I viewed it as an opportunity... to try a new place that we likely wouldn?t have gone to otherwise. The food was sooo good! I got the sausage stuffed mushroomsappetizer. They were very tasty and had a little kick to them. For my main course, I got the Parmesan crusted New York stripsteak. The steak was cooked perfectly and the Parmesan crust was a delight to my taste buds. Our service wasn?t the best, but Icould tell the staff was trying to the best they could. It was graduation/Mother?s Day weekend and they appeared to beunderstaffed. Despite that, the kitchen was kicking out orders pretty quickly, and like I said before, the food was on point. Iwould definitely come back here again in the future! Read more

The scallops served on a bed of Brussel slaw and bacon dressing was divine. The Chanel #5 was exquisite (ravioli with shrimp,... lobster, prosciutto, garlic and more). And my friend got the veal Sinatra which was magnificent as well. Read more

We were here tonight on their third ever night of service. The food was delicious, we ordered Ribeye (I highly recommend, it was... to die for!!), and had creme brulee for dessert. It was so good! I also had a spicy margarita, I love those and they executedthe drink well. This is very close to my house so we will absolutely be back. Read more
