Food good at information gathering for seniors. Parking good, entrance and flow good for issues with mobility.
Nice place. Great staff. Good was fantastic. Will definitely go back.
Beautiful banquet center! They really know how to put on a fantastic event. Food was perfect, drinks were affordable, and the staff was friendly and efficient.
Both Tina & Joe were a pleasure to work with and they were very attentive to our needs for a 225+ person meeting & banquet on a Saturday afternoon. Their facility has been recently redone and its now in tip top shape. Well certainly return in the future.
Fantastic hall. Beautiful room, great wait staff, food was good too.
Great venue for parties up to about 400 people or so.
I held my wedding here in 2018. Although a few things are outdated, like the restrooms, carpet and chairs & no surround sound system, I still decided to go with this venue because of what seemed like very accommodating, kind people. To save you time from a lengthy post, just make sure to have every agreement detailed and outlined because they will agree to certain things, however they will not follow through with everything such as alcohol amounts, staff amount, and table set up on stage. I’ll share one example. The lady Tina agreed to serve roughly (50) 1.75 oz bottles of alcohol, however she only provided (50) 750 ml and proceeded to tell us to purchase more when it ran out with the first few hours. My husband and I reluctantly agreed, spending $4k more. We found out later that night she served the smaller bottles and when we brought this concern to Her she refused to repay us and brought up other problems like too many guests that evening. Outside of my personal bias, they venue is huge, beautiful fountain, and decent food.
It was Elvis impersonator night. He was pretty good, didnt take himself very seriously...the food? Meh. Lasagna was lacking salt, basil, oregano, and garlic. However, when your main audience is over 70, you roll with it. Rolls were very fresh, alcoholic drinks were a little light.
Banquet hall operated like a finely tuned machine. Staff was obviously experienced but they did have problems dealing with changes. Didnt like dessert sitting on table at onset of meal, but it is apparently standard procedure. Food was quite bland but passable. Very uninspired.
Great place great live music events where people can get together and bring some food. They do have drinks typically events but you are not allowed to bring your own. McCartney project British Invasion Fleetwood gold a few bands
Good coffee, super lunch, everything was clean and nice.
Nice venue, good food, fun night!
Our group of retirees have held our Christmas luncheon here for four years now, and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious, and the price is quite reasonable. Tina is the person to speak with regarding bookings, and she is very easy to work with. Highly recommended.
We were at a seminar. We were fed well at lunch. What I call wedding food, was very good. Place is well kept. Parking lot was huge. May have to consider it for a wedding if my daughters ever get engaged!
Went to Bronson Christmas show. Very good 😊 food good but served pumpkin pie needed whip cream.
Worked a banquet serving position here and had a blast! The guests were great and had a wonderful time and the staff are good people to work with.
Great venue if you have a huge guest list to accommodate for your ceremony. The place has a gorgeous sculpture water fountain at the entry way. It offers a spacious staged seating for your guests.The rooftop terrace design is beautiful if you are having your event during the day in the spring or summer.
Great place. Been here before
Older banquet venue with a Italian fountain in the foyer. Bar area is spacious. Ballroom is well suited for 500 guests. Excellent catering food and staff. Built in stage and there is a coat room. I saw only 2 handicap spaces, which was odd. Building definitely needs refresh painting and deep cleaning of air vents, replacing ceiling tiles and updating.
Newly remodeled and very nice. Recommended it highly
The facility itself is beautiful and very comfortable.My and I wife went to a banquet there on January 26 and experienced service that was well below average and food that was simply mediocre, however. I would estimate there were 200-300 people at the banquet. A large plate of salad was on all the tables when we arrived. A public announcement was made to start in on the salads, and that food service was beginning. Once entree service started, the last tables served were served at least a half hour after the first tables were served. We watched entire tables being cleared of entree plates at least 15 minutes prior to the time our table was served its first entree. In addition, when the servers did finally arrive at our table with plates in hand, they yelled out in loud voices CHICKEN? DID ANYONE AT THIS TABLE GET CHICKEN? No. All of us (who were squished into an eight-top that had ten place settings on it) had ordered beef. How bush league. It would have been so easy to have simply color-coded our prominent name tags and the servers would have immediately known what we should have been served. After our initial glasses of water, servers came around to refill water only once throughout the rest of the evening (3 1/2 hours). The large salad plate that was in the middle of the table since everyones arrival (a couple of HOURS earlier) was taken away only after we had all finished our desserts! Oh, and by the way, both my wife and the gentleman next to me ate second servings of salad (probably fifteen minutes apart) only because the wait for the entrees was so long, and everyone was starved at that point! As for the food, the roasted potatoes were fine, the filet was acceptable (but not great) and the vegetables were obviously frozen and inedible for anyone whos used to dining at anything above the McDonalds level. Its hard to believe this place thrives as a banquet center. If banquets are all you do, you should do it well. Villa Milano didnt.
I went to a conference here. The food was excellent. The lasagna was better than my homemade lasagna. There was plenty of parking. There was a shortage of womens restrooms but they handled that nicely by occasionally shutting down the mens room and letting the women use it.
Contracted for my daughters wedding reception. I cannot say enough good things regarding Tina, her staff, the food, the overall value and the quality of our experience. If your are considering booking an event her, rest assured and go ahead and book the event. Every aspect of our experience was first class!!
The place itself is amazing and would rate it 4.5 stars in all honesty. The reason for giving this review a one star is for multiple reasons. To start off we were expecting 400 guest for our event and ended up recieving around 500. The problem with that was the fact that we ran out of tables and the owner got very rudely with us because of it. To fix the problem we accepted to pay more (in which we did pay) understanding our fault of having more people than we agreed on. The next problem is the fact that the owner agreed on having 15 waiters for us because of the size of the event but she only ended up providing 7 waiters and 1 bartender. Another major problem for us is the fact that when making the contract we agreed to having an open bar for beer and refreshments like sodas from 8pm to 1am. Since she was already mad at the fact that we had to pay for more guests she did not end up opening the bar and only brought out two small coolers in front of the bar and put only beer in them. When I went back to talk to the bartender sitting in the kitchen about putting more beer out at least he told us that we only had 90 coronas and 40 models for the night. Overall we had about 250 beers all together which last for about an hour. Even the we agreed on the open bar for five hours and we were never told we had a limit of beer that we would have. Which in every other banquet hall we have rented open bar ment open bar with no limit because thats what your paying for. To fix this issue we asked if we could go and buy more beer and refreshments with our own money. Which we ended up doing. Also we asked the bartender to please refill and provide water for our guest to keep everyone hydrated he very rudely told us that we had whatever was out. We also agreed on ending the party at 2 (in which we ended 15 minutes early) we could come back Monday morning at 9 to pick up our Decorations and when it came down to it the remaining staff told us we had to pick up everything that same night. Ok no problem we stuck around picked everything up and even were nicely enough to help pick up all the trash and still they were very rude and making bad comments. So overall we got ripped off and cant really do much about it because she never printed an official contract for us to pick for our records.
Villa Milano is a really nice venue for banquets and parties. The food is excellent and the service top notch. They have an extensive well-stocked bar and the staff here are wonderful.
The Vocal Jam has been performing an oldies dance and show for 21 years in central Ohio. We have performed in all of the major venues in Columbus Ohio. I can honestly say Villa Milano is the best of the best. The management and staff is always helpful when setting up the room.The seating is perfect for watching our show and the dance floor is large. Our performers have been happier at Villa Milano than any other venue. A big thank you to the management and staff.
Was here for a family wedding -- as a guest-only, it was an amazing experience and the conference center had a great buffet-style spread ready to go as guests arrived. Food was delicious and well-tended.
Awesome event with Urban Meyer, Mike Gottfried and Rocky Alt. Team Focus. Really in awe with football and coaching greats. Food was good too. Large salads and chicken parmigiana.
Always a nice place. Went to a Senior Health Fair. Great set up.Ive been there for class reunions also. Food is good.
They were not prepared for the size of the crowd. They also did not have enough food for 700 gathering at 5:30. While I know they were trying to conserve space, the chairs were way too close together.
Great location for banquet. Delicious food and organized well.
Had a work event for the day at this location and enjoyed it very much. The lunch was delicious and the venue itself was clean, comfortable and easily catered to our large group.
My company does their Holiday Party here. The last two years the food is good and its the perfect size for 200 people. Definitely recommend it.
I was here for a private function. The food was delicious and the servers were very well organized and pleasant. The venue was very clean and well maintained and there is plenty of parking.
Great venue. Excellent service. Quality food.
Had a department holiday lunch here. Fits 500 people pretty well. Food was good and staff were always on the ball with refilling plates and food items.
Ive been to several events here. The food is always pretty good. The atmosphere is cozy and plush. Backstage is small but handy.
The food was better than most weddings Ive been to. Clean the ladies room restroom pink door! Otherwise it was a great event!!
The banquet hall is large and The entry area is beautiful. The food they service is also quite good. Im always happy to come here for a get together.
Attended first Fridays here recently and had a blast. After living in Columbus for years I was surprised Id never attended an event here. Looking forward to the next opportunity as the location is pristine.
A group of Pokemon go players were threatened by two men in a blue pickup truck claiming to be the owners. No where were there any no trespassing sings posted, there were no events being hosted and the group of Pokemon players were causing no harm, but the self claimed owner of this establishment drove around threatening and trying to intimidate people to get out of his parking lot. If this was the actual owner, his actions were highly unprofessional and reflect poorly on his business. I would highly recommend not doing business with the Villa Milano or the owner because of how he treats other people.
Great venue although theyre currently in the process of remodeling.
Joe was very disrespectful & rude
Our Prom is hosted here every year and the staff at the Villa Milano is more than helpful, they go above and beyond to make sure that everyone has something to drink!
Going place excellent food, excellent service, excellent staff!!! Been there numerous times for different functions. Would highly recommend
Tina is amazing.. love love love this place.. were celebrating my in-laws 50th anniversary and she has made the planning so easy I cant say thank you enough
Excellent staff, consistent quality of food, beautiful atmosphere. Great for parties and celebrations.
Amazing food, staff and atmosphere! Family oriented business! So easy to work with! Would recommend for any event!
Fleetwood Gold from Cleveland played there, really enjoyable evening with a talented band. 👌
Never had a bad experience. Would really like some more options for catering our dinners here. Staff is really good.
Great place for a reception. Dinner buffet was excellent. The medallions of beef were very tender and the servers were on the ball.
Family Owned. They take good care of their clients! Great experience at the Westerville Chamber Evening of Elegance annual event.
I was at an event twice this year, both meals the same. Tasty! Great place for events plenty of parking n room for vendors.
First rate all the way. Delicious and well prepared food. Courteous and professional staff made for a very memorable experience.
Beautiful but they said the room would seat 500, we still had people standing and we didnt have 500.
Family owned and operated banquet center with one of the largest rooms in Columbus serving good food, especially their Italian dishes.
Beautiful place. Delicious food.
Nice atmosphere for a wedding or other venue. Food is great
The mold and mildew smell from the fountain in the lobby area was stifiling. The rest of the venue was totally unchanged from the mid 90s.
Very elegant with a large room to accommodate large events. The floor plan from the entrance to the hall is very tasteful.
Great place! Food was great! Room for improvement in servers with smiles!
Beautiful place ..Everyone was so nice n the food was awesome . Thank you
Ive been here many times and the service and food have always been top notch.

Beautiful place to have a wedding. If you hate the little stairs to your stage then this is not the place for you.
Went for the Annual Columbus Board of Realtors Honoree Luncheon and the salad and lasagna were great.

2022-03-28We have been fortunate enough to host several events at Villa Milano across the years, the most recent being two days ago, and there are simply not enough words to express how fabulous the entire team at Villa Milano is. From the extensive planning process to the weeks and days leading up to the event, Tina and Joe could not have been more amazing to work with. The event went flawlessly, the food was incredible (we are still receiving compliments on how much our guests enjoyed the food) and the wait staff was top-notch. We also received many compliments from our guests regarding how quickly their staff was able to get ~640 guests through the buffet lines for dinner, in just under 20 minutes! Their facility is gorgeously renovated with new carpet and paint, truly setting the stage for any elegant event you may be hosting. Conveniently located with abundant on-site free parking, making the venue easily accessible for all guests. My family and I will never host an event at any other venue. If you are looking for an elegant, full-service venue that your guests will be talking about long after your event, I could not recommend Villa Milano any more.
