Best Restaurants for Foodies in German Village

From service to the food everything was amazing! Might have been one of the best dinners I’ve had in awhile! Can’t wait to go back!

Hostess was helpful and friendly. Bartending was on point. Ambience was warm, cozy, and welcoming. Music selection was noticeable and added to a great vibe. Our server was knowledgeable, personable, and technically proficient. Chef La Rocca was gracious, and was attentive to his guests. He and his kitchen staff take obvious pride in their craft. The end results…from appetizers thru dessert…were delicious! A little “Pura Vida” right in downtown Columbus!!

Maybe my favorite restaurant in the Columbus area. Wonderful experience every time I dine here. Certainly not your run of the mill downtown chain restaurant. Great neighborhoood restaurant with amazing food and top-notch service. Menu has everything from sandwiches, to pasta, to phenomenal seafood and steaks. Great wine selection, really nice hand crafted cocktails. Always has a great bar crowd, or you can choose a more intimate cozy booth. I'd call this place a hidden gem, but it's always busy, so the word is clearly out.

I highly recommend the Barcelona for a night out. The food is outstanding as well as every aspect of our evening there. This was our first time to dine there, but we will definitely be returning.

This is where my boyfriend and I chose to eat as our first meal in Columbus, Ohio! It did not disappoint. We had an 8:45 reservation, but went early and sat at the bar to have a drink and a couple of appetizers. We ordered the steak tartare and the oyster mushrooms. The steak tartare was fresh, cold, and had your classic tartare flavor. Texture was great as the meat wasn’t over minced. The mushrooms were “calamari” style and came with a couple of dipping sauces. The truffle aioli and the tomato fondue. I do wish we had more bigger bites of the oyster mushroom. We were fishing for them on the plate. Once at a table (we asked to be moved in order to accommodate the addition of friends also flying in — which the staff kindly and graciously accommodated us) we ordered the lampchops with the vegetable fried rice. I do believe this was by far the best bite of our evening. Definitely a must try. For our entree, we ordered the agnolotti and the sea bass. The agnolotti was flavorful with a generous amount of lobster! The seabass was cooked well and the light broth it came with was delicious. We ordered broccolini as a side dish which also didn’t disappoint We’re excited to come back to try more menu items!
