Great place! I ordered the carbonara and loved it, very satisfied with my choice. Others at my table ordered the chicken Parmesan, meatball with fettuccine, and mushroom ravioli. I think the flavor in the carbonara was the best and the other dishes were good, but with other delicious Italian restaurants in the area, I feel like it would be unfair to give the dishes here 5 stars. Very good food, and fairly priced. If you want to go for dinner, make sure to make a reservation…especially on the weekend!
Outstanding service. We had a large party to work with. The staff was so helpful and made it a wonderful experience. The food was excellent. Everyone had a wonderful time.
This place was great! It was fun for a nice birthday dinner date, and our server was super fun and kinda. The baked rigatoni was delicious I highly recommend. I highly recommend. I didn’t get a picture, but adding the meatball to a dish is an extra $10. Given, the meatball is a large size, I just don’t think it’s good enough to warrant the extra money personally, but it was very fun and delicious overall!!
You know when a restaurant is going to be great when you walk in and you see stacks of freshly baked breads upon entry. Every single item that we tasted was absolutely exquisite and the service was top notch (thanks Gianna). I highly recommend the veal meatball, prosciutto pizza, and the delicious gnocchi con bolognese. They have a really great wine menu and you can get various tastings in different pour sizes. The atmosphere is very lively and buzzy but I found the chairs to be a little small and the tables a bit too close together, but this is a minor infraction that can easily be overlooked once you taste the delicious food.
I don't know if i should be sharing this but I believe I saw the best service I've ever seen in my life here. Also... every single thing that was brought to the table was delicious.
The wait staff were all friendly and attentive, but the thing that put Marcella's over the top is... one member of our party looked at the menu and said, "No steak? I really wanted a steak."
The waiter didn't miss a beat and said that Marcella's had a sister restaurant with steak and he could send out for one!
My friend sat at this beautiful restaurant and ate a perfectly cooked steak from a different restaurant while we enjoyed our Italian.
The most baller thing I've seen in years.
Great meal, service, and atmosphere. They were nice enough to hold our reservation as we were stuck in OSU traffic. Our waitress Jasmine was great.
I was in town for work and this place was absolutely fantastic. Every portion of the meal was delicious. The server was also one of the most knowledgeable ones I've ever met, making the experience that much better. And the place was definitely popular. I would absolutely recommend and would go back.
Great food, got the Chicken Parmesan with Marinara, really good - cocktails were also very good. Waitress was a little slow getting back to us, but she also was swamped, so all good. Overall really happy with it.
Went with a group. Super crowded but didn’t see many people waiting to be seated! Had a tortellini mix, not sure of name. Acaricini?Perfect portion. OD ed on bread though..too good. Excellent food, very fresh and organic ingredients. Drink had the blackberry one - couldn’t taste anything fruity in it. May have had too much liquor in it. Not much taste. Sadly not worth $15.
Had a reservation for happy hour 4-6pm, got seated right away at 5:30! Staff was very friendly and quick. Half off apps so we got the meatball, sausage & peppers, burrata, and 4 cheese pizza, and everything was phenomenal! Parking on high street can be tough but there are garages nearby and a few sidestreets with meters. Great experience!
A little pricey for what amount you are served, however, we were stuffed full because the food is so very rich. Thoroughly enjoyed the fresh taste of tomatoes and other produce in our meals. We went out for a very late date night dinner (like 10pm or something crazy like that) and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and great food. Would happily return!
I just recently hosted a luncheon for 25 guests at Marcella's in the Short North. Luke, the manager, went out of his way to accommodate our party, including printed menus, changing the date to a Sunday due to a funeral updating my guest list number. We had the restaurant to ourselves and it was perfect! Dia, our server, handled the group like a true professional. She rearranged the tables, printed more menus, anticipated bringing out carryout boxes for the desserts, and even cut my bouquet of flowers to fit my vase. The atmosphere, cleanliness, food, and service were wonderful. I highly recommend Marcella's. It was a beautiful experience.
I am here right now. Great atmosphere. Friendly service at the bar, even as it gets busy. But the food shines. I ordered the zucchini friti amd and it was sublime. Also a selection of meat and cheese, so good. The Negroni was perfectly made. Linguine y clams on the way. Not too expensive for the center of Columbus. The staff knows its job. They aren't lost at sea.
If you're looking for a great happy hour with abundant choices, this is it! Their half off happy hour includes cocktails, small bites, soups, salads, and pizzas! We chose several options for the table and had a lovely feast for a great price.
Fantastic service and a really great menu with some traditional Italian dishes. Delicious cocktails to go with the good food too!
Can't wait to come back!
AMAZING! Highly highly recommend. People with Celiac - you’re definitely safe here! They take it extremely serious and the gluten free food was amazing. Sam our waiter made me feel so safe and my food was great. Gf bread, chicken parm and pizza was so good. Definitely check this place out!!
Carson was fantastic. Definitely get the meatball for an appetizer! Amazing food, great drinks, excellent service.
Amazing service and amazing food. By far the best Alfredo sauce I've ever had. I had my husband order the meatball and pasta thinking I didn't like Alfredo, and wound up eating more of his then mine! So delicious we almost came back twice in two days!
