Villa Nova is one of Columbus' most authentic Italian-style dining destinations, originally opened in 1978 by married duo Donna and Frank Colleli. Today, the restaurant is still helmed by second-generation Colleli family members and is known for its generous portions of hearty Italian fare and its unique displayed collection of antique teapots, which were accumulated by Frank Colleli throughout his retirement. Diners can enjoy a wide variety of delectable Italian entrees at lunch and dinner, including pasta favorites such as chicken cacciatore, spaghetti carbonara, eggplant parmesan, and seafood fettuccine. Seven, 11, and 15-inch pizzas are available for sharing, including gluten-free crust pizzas. An impressive wine and liquor selection is served up from the restaurant's bar, along with a list of craft beers and specialty cocktails.
