Restaurants near Nationwide Arena

Good food and great atmosphere. Only negative was our server disappeared after the mains came out. Had to go to the bar to get more water and ask for the check. Otherwise was great.

My partner & I came in for dinner before a show. We were seated next to a family & asked to move a table down to a more isolated table which wasn’t a problem. My cocktail was the Venetian Sunset (perfectly fruity and delicious). I ordered Branzino which was phenomenal. Seasoned perfectly and the potatoes on it were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Delicious. My Partner got the Lamb Pappardelle, which she enjoyed but said was well seasoned (a teeny tiny bit too salty, wishes she had more noodles to balance out the sauce but I just gave her some of my potatoes instead which worked out nicely. For dessert we ordered the Lemon Cassata which was elevated and delicious. It reminded me of lemon bars but even better with the layers of cake and lemon. We loved it and left full. Our server (Our Server, Eric, burned his hand serving the Pappardelle from the hot pot & we thanked him for his sacrifice of comfort.) Eric was an amazing server, wasn’t overbearing and allowed us to enjoy our meal in peace. Would definitely return!

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!!

Good food Great waiter service by Tyler. Great atmosphere.

I visited Nada with a lively group of 9 and we were out for a bachelorette party. We were a bit disorganized/unprepared to order at times, so I really appreciated our server’s patience. We were happy with the amount of time spent there - of course we wanted to take our time and socialize but it was nice that the food came all together and drinks refilled quickly. Our food was great and just what we were hoping for. I wish we could have chosen the number of tacos in our entrees. We were headed somewhere else afterward and couldn’t take leftovers, so this resulted in a lot of wasted food. Please consider offering the lunch size at dinner!
