A decent place had better Italian food. Tried cheese garlic bread and eggplant Parmesan for lunch. The eggplant was nice and crispy felt the sauce was little too sour for my taste. The service can be better took a while to get us seated and we had to suggest that the bar had empty seats can we sit there. Once we seated ourselves we had to go ask for menus and service.

This location has severely gone down hill. I'm leaving 5 stars because it's important for the business to get positive reviews, but my experience was less than stellar. The short north location is significantly better. Our waiter was amazing, and the service was wonderful, but stellar service does not make up for poor food. The Burrata is what we always share together, and this time the tomatoes tasted like a bitter salsa. The meatball in my pasta was undercooked so much that it just mashed into a bolus of meat slurry, and my wife got the ravioli mezzaluna that was a salty mess with the texture of mashed potatoes. Please do better, we love this restaurant and we want to go here, but we won't be back to this location until the food improves. Bradley was our waiter, and he was amazing, and the drinks were great.

My wife ,granddaughter and I had dinner there a few days ago.My granddaughter ordered the rigatoni arrabiata with a meat ball. The rigatoni and sauce was fine..The meatball was the size of a small meatloaf and had no flavor..My wife ordered chicken parmesan which she enjoyed. I ordered the 4 cheese tortellini with chicken.My dish was almost unedible.The tortellini was so dry and tasteless and the chicken was was tough large shredded pieces and almost impossible to eat.There was hardly any sauce.I could not finish my dish. When asked by the waitress how our food was ,I explained per above.She did send the chef out and he apologized which was a nice gesture.and they removed it from my bill ,which I did not ask them to do.I also ordered a house Manhattan that very sweet and and had hardly any bourbon and was over priced. I would not likely return to this restaurant.

As always, the food was incredible. We had an amazing waiter in James. Very friendly and provided great recommendations. He could teach a master class in service. Awesome experience!

Me and my wife acidentally stumbled upon this gem as a replacement dinner trip when our planned visit to another nearby resturant was too busy for a table. We were tired from the long drive to Columbus, starving, unfamiliar with the area, and just wanted anywhere to eat.Ever reffering to this resturant as a replacement anything is an insult to the wonderful evening they provided for us on a moment's notice.Gaston was our waiter and he was very attentive and kind! Despite the dinner rush, he was very interested in making sure our dining experience was the best. One of the nicest and most attentive servers I've met! Thanks man!The food was absolutely delicous. Every item tasted made in house and with the freshest ingredients. We started with the Burrata appetizer, and we were blown away. The cheese was melt in your mouth, the bread was crisp and buttery, and the homemade marinara had savoury flavors I never knew existed. And that was just the appetizer!We then ordered the four cheese pizza and fettuccine and MEATBALL.-The Fettuccine and MEATBALL was TO DIE FOR. The pasta was deliciously enveloped in a blend of alfredo and marinara that created such a nice blend of flavors. Using capitilization as emphasis for the word meatball helps describe the absolute beast he was. That MEATBALL was massive and SO DELCIOUS. I've never had meat like that so savory and MELT IN YOUR MOUTH???? It was crazy good.-The four cheese pizza was also seriously amazing. I still can't get over the feeling I had enjoying every bite.The chefs and staff are absolutely incredible!! Thanks for everything.Also, the decor, atmosphere, and environment of Marcella's satisfied my dream of dining at a very fancy affordable resturant. Did you know the walls are hand painted??? I didn't until I saw all the brush strokes and paint lines. It blew my mind. The entire inside and outside of the resturant looked so beautiful it was like it was from a storybook.Definitely come enjoy eating at this resturant!!! You will never forget it.
