Marcella's

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
