Tucci's - Dublin

Tucci's is a very beautiful restaurant with an elegant and classy feel. The service is kind and helpful. And the food is very delicious. My partner tried the sausage and pepper rigatoni and we both loved it. Flavor, seasoning, and spice levels were all on point. I had the short ribs. Unfortunately, it was not hitting at the same level. It was unbalanced and a bit dry. By unbalanced, I mean that the acid level was not where it needed to be. Despite being in a red wine reduction, I still could've used a dash of vinegar or more red wine to brighten it up! The short rib itself was overcooked, which is a shame. Short rib is one of my favorite cuts and when cooked properly, it can be moist and luscious. The asparagus also needed a pinch of salt. Lastly, the portion size wasn't quite there. At least give me more mashed potatoes! They're cheap and filling! And at the price point that this restaurant lives at, it's hard to forgive. Another small point, the janitor's wet floor sign by the indoor fountain really affects how nice the environment feels. Either get the fountain adjusted so it doesn't splash water on the floor or wipe it up as needed. Would you put a mop bucket by the Trevvi fountain? Or a trash can in a rose garden? With all of that said, it was still excellent. But if you were to ask if I'll return, probably and unfortunately not. Edit: adding back a star for owner response. Always appreciate an attentive owner. Will visit back one day to see if improvements have been made. Thanks!

Not a "traditional" Italian restaurant, but takes quite a few classics and adds a modern twist. We had reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival even though we were about 15 minutes early (bar was full so having an aperitivo would have been a challenge). We were greeted warmly and shown to our booth. The food was excellent - our Arancini were made very well, not a dollop of mozzarella in the middle, but very nicely done - good crunch on the outside and smooth rice and a meat/vegetable mixture inside. The wife's mussels that she had for her main were perfectly cooked and delicious (she let me have one in exchange for a bite of mine). My lasagna was excellent. Three larger layers, smooth ricotta and sausage stuffed noodles. The slab was large enough that I brought some home for another meal the next day. Was also pleased that they were willing to accommodate my request to have my salad after my main, a la that standard Italian dinner. Salad was crisp, and simple dressing and delicious adds. Very, very good! The cocktail and wine list was very deep. They had a nice selection of wines at a number of price points - something for everyone. Finally, the wait staff were excellent. The wine sommelier introduced himself before our server arrived. Our server (Dana) did an outstanding job, knowing the menu and making recommendations. The food came out correct, at the right temperature, and we never had empty glasses of water. A delicious and well executed meal all the way around.

Great place! Very classy and perfectly lit, we were there for happy hour. Loved the selection of small plates and cocktails on the happy hour menu. Don’t skip dessert, the cheesecake and creme brûlée are to die for. We will definitely return!

Update, I stand by my original review as this is one of the best restaurants for couples and families! Ruk was our server tonight and she made the evening as enjoyable as the food with fast service and good recommendations! Definitely top three for me and the wife in Columbus when looking for a date night! Took the family here for an early dinner last weekend. Fantastic food, great location, and the four season room was a great touch! Will definitely dine again, best lamb chop dish in town so far!

This restaurant is wonderful. It was a very good choice. The staff were so friendly. When we first arrived, they took us to our table which had a paper that says "happy anniversary "in Italian. The food is another story. It was amaaaazingly delicious. In brief, if you're planning to try Italian food. This is the one!!!

Must make a reservation ! I love the patio dinning ! It was full of light and had a great atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. All the cocktail were also really good. Overall a great dinning experience!

Absolutely delicious food in an elegant atmosphere! Perfect pace for a date or family dinner. They sometimes have live music. The food and drinks was incredible, I got the short ribs and crème brûlée. The staff were all friendly and very accommodating. Parking can be tricky but if you go earlier rather than later you’ll have no trouble finding a spot.

I visited Tucci's in Dublin, Ohio and had a positive experience. The service was attentive, the bar had a nice ambiance, and the cocktails were delicious, especially the Italian sour. The calamari and garlic bread with ricotta were standard app fare and made for satisfying appetizers. The Chicken Diablo was as expected with spicy flavor and the bathrooms were clean. However, there were some safety concerns with the cluttered staff entryway to the bar (cardboard boxes of wine bottles) and the step down by the bar (my wife almost made a face plant.) Parking behind the eatery was chaotic (just park on the roof by the nearby library) but the surrounding area was really impressive - check out the nearby pedestrian bridge over the river. Overall, the food was good and I would consider going back - though I’d like to eat in the impressive hall in the front, as opposed to the bar area.

I usually don’t give reviews but I had to the Waygu steak with eggs and potatoes was great ! The French toast was delicious as well ! But what stood out is the espresso martini most can’t make a good one and Tucci’s bartender did just that !

I went for brunch as a party of 7. Everything was really good. I got the steak and eggs, it came with breakfast potatoes and arugula.

Wow. This place is excellent. Steaks are served to the chef's recommendation which is medium rare. I actually got sick later that night from my steak but it was delicious while I ate it. The calamari fingers are almost like fries with a spicy hollandaise sauce. Prices are very high but so is the quality. Most drinks are underwhelming and heavily iced. Critiques aside, you get your money's worth when it comes to service and quality.

Finally got to try this place out and it did not disappoint. We ordered the whipped feta and honey, and short rib sliders. I think they could have used better quality honey, because I didn't really taste any honey and i love honey. The sliders were fantastic, you only get 2 though. We ordered a filet oscar style, filet pepper demi, and a waygu filet. All were really good. There was a HUGE taste difference between the filet and waygu, much more flavor. That being said, while they were really good steaks, they werent like the best thing i ever ate, and the price was a bit high. I think the 4.6 they have is pretty accurate. Oh the service was fantastic as well! Thanks guys

Our first time here and won't be the last! Awesome night to sit in the patio and enjoy delicious dishes. Everything was tasty from the moist crab cakes to melt in your mouth short ribs! For the best service, ask for Patrick!

My wife and I dined here this morning for brunch and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a beautiful restaurant not only was the food was amazing but also phenomenal service provided by Tommy . We will definitely be back again

Our experience was outstanding. We sat in the main dining room and the atmosphere was gorgeous. Bri, our server, was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, professional, and very kind. I ordered a pasta, it was a special for the evening. It was delicious. All the food was phenomenal.

This is not our first visit; my wife and I consistently enjoy our experiences at Tucci's. The cuisine is exceptional, the ambiance is excellent, and we consistently receive outstanding service. We intend to continue patronizing this establishment.

Pretty good. We wanted to go there to find out what all the hype was about. We did not have a reservation, but they squeezed us in. We were there for brunch. The food was above average. Basically, I thought it was just a wee bit better than a place like First Watch. The coffee was not fresh, and the cups had an eggy smell. The server was phenomenal. Menu prices were reasonable. The fountain was splashing water on the floor, and I think that's a problem. Parking was difficult, as the lot was full. Overall, pretty good. Definitely above average, but it was a hassle to wait for parking and all that, so I don't think I would go back.

We went to brunch here and it was the literal best. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this place. If you find something wrong, that’s on you, and a you problem. It was great and our server Nikki S was the bomb dot com. I can’t wait to come back. Everyone is so wonderful. Nikki S is just a straight GEM.

Nikki S. was one of the best waitresses that we have ever had. She made excellent suggestions for the food and wine pairings, even though the restaurant was so busy she took the time to make us feel like we were the only customers! The food was absolutely incredible we had the steak and steamed mussels. 10/10 recommend this place the cocktails were phenomenal!

We tried Tucci’s for the first time this evening. The service and food were fantastic. Our server, Parish, is adorable, knowledgeable about all the menu options. I’d adopt him as my own if I could! We ordered the tuna crudo to start-excellent and light. We then chose the short rib and lamb chops. The short rib was amazing, melt in your mouth perfection. While not a lamb person, it was good and my husband greatly enjoyed it. We look forward to returning to try more of the menu and see our new favorite server, Parish. 😊

Can’t get much better than this: a gorgeous patio dining space; delicious and varied lunch/brunch menu, and a waiter (Ryan) who epitomizes what excellent service is all about. The four of us ordered the reasonably priced soup and sandwich option, relishing the lobster bisque, clam chowder, reuben, and grilled cheese combos. As this was our “trial” first visit to Tuccis-we’re new to the area—we definitely will return to savor their creative and diverse dinner menu!

Just come here for the first time for birthday. We line that everything is Christmas ready, it gives a special vibe )) Had to Waite for our table 45m which is probably norm for Friday night all though there was empty tables when we came and still not occupied when we were back in 45m Food were good. Mussels were great, but order extra bread to get that delicious souse . We like everything we ordered despite of- desert being too sweet and maybe I understand whipped cream on tiramisu but on Cream brûlée is too much. On the bad side is - main dishes had small plates , maybe do to small booth tables. So I think for that level of restaurant, air vents need more attention. Didn’t look good or felt good. Josh took care of our order well and good with suggestion. We will probably come back ! Thank you

Have been hearing about this place for forever and have been meaning to give it a try. Went on a weekday afternoon and there was business, but not too busy. Decor and layout is beautiful. “Patio” with a centered fountain and outs of natural light. Quotation marks for patio because it is completely enclosed with a permanent structure that pretty much just makes it an addition to the restaurant, only with different style seating. The staff is all professional and friendly, ready to answer questions promptly and everyone was well put together. There’s an impressive backbar with high-end liquor, and all of the staples, meaning there is probably something for everyone’s tastes. The main claim to fame of their beverage program seems to be the wine list. Along with the newly opened retail bottle shop, they have an extensive and unique wine list covering a wide range of varietals and price points. We came for lunch, and the concise and straightforward lunch menu is appropriately priced and portioned with light to moderate fare that should be able to accommodate anyone’s tastes. Overall an above average experience.

Been here multiple times with friends and loved ones. I love the restaurant’s Ambiance, indoor plants and friendly staff. They have a really good menu. I personally love their pasta and Calamari. Few days ago We tried the wagyu burger for the very first time, the patty was a little too dry and flavorless (would probably be better with a different/more sauce). We had Crème brûlée for dessert, I wasn’t really happy with the fruits on top of it especially the blueberries (it made the Crème brûlée tastes like blueberries) the fruits overpowered the crisp and creamy texture.

Wonderful time at Tucci in Dublin Ohio. Classic Italian as well as great steaks. Pasta was tender and delicious. Shank was wonderful and very low fat. Decor was very posh and relaxing. Recommended.

Me and my family went here and the food was really nice. The restaurant is reasonably quiet and extremely well decorated with a full bar and many menu options. I personally wouldn’t recommend the french toast (which was what i got) since the balance between the butter and powdered sugar was a little unbalanced. The fruits was nice and my mother, who got the eggs benedict said it was fantastic. The only thing that i would mention is that the bathroom floor was sticky and extremely cramped. Would definitely recommend.

We were celebrating our anniversary. The waitress brought us complimentary small peanut butter and small raspberry lemon cheesecake. It was delicious! The salad with strawberries was fantastic! I also had chicken pasta. With a little additional salt it was good. We were in the corner booth so we didn't get a feel for the atmosphere.

Pleasant atmosphere, quiet enough for conversation. Server was overly attentive, but helpful and friendly. I had a wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp. It was served with ranch dressing, not blue cheese, which is my preference. The Reuben was served w French fries. The meat was flavorful, but the slices were too thick and therefore more effort to chew than I like. Corned beef is best shaved, I think. They serve coke products, which made me happy... my companion had tomato soup, country style, with chunks of tomato and other veggies. She also had her personal favorite, the grilled cheese sandwich, that met her expectations and vanished quickly! I would go back to this spot, as the menu is interesting and will sample some of their other offerings on the menu.

Had such a great girls’ dinner at **Tucci's** last night! The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful, especially the server who answered all our questions and made us feel so comfortable. The cocktails were amazing — super tasty and well made. We ordered shrimp, crispy calamari, seared ahi tuna, mushroom pizza with chicken, and white bean hummus. Everything was delicious, but the crispy calamari and mushroom pizza were so good we ordered them twice! Great food, great drinks, and such a fun experience. Definitely coming back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seems like a beautiful place. We had no reservation on Sunday at 11 am, so they set us in the bar area. The barman was excellent and attentive. The French martini was good, finally a place that has Chambord! The bacon omelet was more like a frittata and had little taste—the grouper (small) sandwich had good flavor but a child portion, IMO. The clam chowder was great!! I must say, for a fine restaurant, the Smuckers jelly packet was hilarious; for a $100 lunch meal, they could step this up. I have been there and done that no need to return other than the bar, which had it all.

We went to celebrate my husband's birthday recently and although I've been there before and had several wonderful meals, this past time was a little underwhelming. My husband's meal was great and he thoroughly enjoyed his slow-cooked prime rib, my Cesar salad was just ok. The romaine leaves were little soft and there was pink around all of the edges which indicated to me that the lettuce was starting to go bad. The dressing tasted a little diluted (like the dampness or slight sogginess of the lettuce mixed with the dressing). The asparagus side that I order was wonderful and the wait staff was sweet and attentive. I guess it just goes to show that even your best restaurants can have an off night. We'll be back again soon.

Made a reservation through their AI system. When we arrived they had our name, but not the other details of the reservation that we specified (birthday celebration and outdoor seating). Mentioned this and they had no answer for why which was disappointing. The decoration of the restaurant is very nice, but very "Dublin uppity like" with a very snooty feel to it. The table for two that we sat at was much too small as the plates easily crowded the table and made it uncomfortable to eat the different courses. Now the food. We got calamari and shrimp cocktail appetizers. Both were average but nothing to get excited about. The calamari were in particular very small and sparse, but the marinara that came with it was good as was the yum yum type sauce with the shrimp which I really liked. We ordered two Caesar side salads. Now these were not good at all with very little dressing, and they came in bowls that were much too small to eat out of. Take note Tucci's. My wife got the miso salmon which she said was good, although it came with some very funky vegetables that were uneatable, a very small portion of both rice and the salmon itself. I got the veal chop parmesan with angel hair pasta. I will admit that the size of the veal was larger than I had expected, yet the portion of pasta was smaller than I expected. The server was nice enough to bring me two extra sauces which I enjoyed very much as well as the veal itself. Strangely enough they don't serve any fresh bread with meals which they should as this was kind of expected and would be a nice touch considering the very high costs of the entrees themselves. Now for $52 that veal better damn well be exceptional as I could pay about half the price at another local Italian restaurant for a comparable dish. We walked out saying to ourselves that the overall meal was O.K., but not great and worth the extremely high prices that they charge for their food as it doesn't justify this. Will probably not be back for this reason.

Had a dinner date. Was disappointed being seated at a small table not big enough to accommodate the dinner plates. Most restaurants will offer bread bread before the meal especially if it's an Italian restaurant. No bread was offered. Shrimp cocktail appetizer fell short. Normally 6 shrimp are served. We had 2 shrimp a piece. I had the lasagna. Again, no bread or side offered with a meal... Then came the price... I was shocked.... I could have got a better meal at Applebee's...

The front of the restaurant is beautiful. However, we were taken to this diner-like back room that smelled like cleaning chemicals. So disappointing that if offered, would have waited for a table in the front. The back room should be closed all together. No plans to return.

We have been twice in the last 2 months as we have liked Tuccis in the past. Unfortunately the food has taken a turn for the mediocre. We ordered Lobster Nachos and it’s a complete misnomer. $16 for a minimum of $2 of material (of which there is supposedly minute lobster blended into a tablespoon of melted cheese….i find it hard to believe there is actually lobster in it). Cesar salad seems wilted and old. And finally, service is extremely slow. Unless there is a change at some point, we are finding it hard to choose Tuccis over the many other, great options to be found in Bridge Park.

I had very high hopes, but unfortunately have to give my first two star review. I would only give one star, but I’m giving two because my bacon was perfect, their eggs were very good and my wife and son had excellent waffles for brunch. However so many other things were sub par. Let me explain: we waited for what seemed forever to get waited on while others who came in after us were given water and had their drink orders taken. Finally someone claiming to not be our waiter took our orders. I ordered a bacon and cheddar omelette, a side of bacon and an English muffin. So I thought it was strange that my omelette arrived with a side of sour cream and salsa. And sure enough it was a southwest omelette (right picture). I pointed that out and was told they would make me a bacon and cheddar omelette. Awhile later I got another omelette. It did have bacon but it had way more spinach and cherry tomatoes (neither of which I was expecting) and hardly any cheese, which did not appear to be cheddar (left picture). My English muffin seemed hard and had very little butter. But as I said my bacon was cooked perfectly. Also distracting from our experience were the number of flies buzzing around. And the water on the floor around the little fountain also seemed strange for a high end restaurant. So I’m sorry to say that I would not recommend this place. I doubt I will give it another chance.

Margaritas were good. I ordered the chicken Marsala and it was maybe 4 ounces and sauce was bland and very watery. And my baked potato was cold, got a new one and it was over cooked. For the price we paid this was not acceptable. My husband’s food was fine. I was looking forward to going here but unfortunately didn’t impress me.

This was our second visit, and unfortunately, it was very disappointing. During our first visit, the service, food, and atmosphere were excellent, which is why we decided to return. But this time was completely different. After placing our order, we waited more than 30 minutes without receiving our food. Although we ordered first among nearby tables, other guests were already halfway through their meals while we still had nothing. Our server never checked on us, never made eye contact, and never came by our table. Eventually, I had to ask a manager-looking person for help, and only then did our food finally arrive. The manager brought the food, not the server. By that time, our baby got really fussy from waiting so long, and we couldn’t enjoy the meal. The server never once asked how our food was, never checked on us, and didn’t even bring the bill—we had to ask the manager again. While the manager apologized and gave us a 50% discount, the service we received was unacceptable. My husband still left a 15% tip based on the full bill before discount, but honestly, the server did not deserve even 5%. I regret not getting her name, but she was the female server working at the window side on left side on September 16 on lunch. I truly hope management provides proper training. I had recommended this restaurant before, but after this experience, I can no longer recommend it and don’t plan to return. The way we were treated made us feel very unwelcome, and it even raised the question of whether race played a role, as we were the only Asian customers at the time. We’re very unhappy and disappointed. Edited: After reading other reviews, I noticed that other Asian customers had similar experiences, which makes me even more upset. It seems like this restaurant is simply not a place where Asians are welcome, and I would strongly warn other Asians never to dine here.

I came here a while ago with my sister and my white husband and had a great experience. Friendly staff, great service, everything was on point. So I decided to come back with two of my Asian friends. We had a 12:15 reservation and arrived 10 minutes early, but still had to wait. When we were finally seated, it was in an isolated corner of the restaurant we hadn’t even seen last time. The only other group in that section was an Asian family. The service was slow, no one checked on us, and the Eggs Benedict I ordered was nowhere near the quality I had last time. Seriously. The Asian family next to us also waited forever for their main dishes, and the staff didn’t acknowledge it or offer any explanation. The difference in treatment was hard to ignore. Really disappointing. I won’t be back.

My son ordered Egg and steak and he ordered medium and flat iron steak was way too dry. It tasted like it cooked for a long time ago and microwaved to reheat. We also ordered wagyu burger is not juicy either. We also ordered kids pepperoni, cheese pizzas and angel hair pasta. The food quality was not as good as the atmosphere here. My kids does not want to come back again.
