We went for the first time last night for our 28th anniversary. We had the Chicken Moretti and Chicken Picata, and I must say both were out of sight! The homemade pasta? To die for! We will be back!

We have been going to Moretti’s for years and have never been disappointed until now. To start with, the salad was not as fresh tasting or flavorful as before. Too much of the chunky base part of the romaine lettuce. It seemed more prepared in advance, instead of made fresh to order. The server said it hasn’t changed, but we tasted the difference. The Parmesan cheese grinders have been replaced with a cheese shaker jar you would see at Fazolis. The bottle of wine we used to pay around $35 for is now $48 (this wine retails in stores for about $15). To top things off, we were charged a 3% surcharge for credit card, which was the icing on the cake for my birthday dinner. It’s sad that we have enjoyed going here for so long but unfortunately won’t be back.

We waited 20 minutes for our reservation and they squeezed us in a table that had blocked off access to another table forcing one guest to sit at the end. Then we were asked to leave so the next group could be sat. We hadn't even finished our wine and had just gotten our check. I get a 2 hr limit on tables but we hadn't even been at the table for 90 minutes. It was so extremely rude and we will not be back.

My favorite dish of all time is fettucini chicken alfredo and my wife makes it every year for my birthday. Moretti's does it very very very good and that's all I will say on record. These hole in the wall places are the ones that I search hard for. Thank you team at Moretti's!!!!
Both the eggplant and bell pepper appetizers were fantastic. Decent espresso martini. Salad superb. Bread beautiful. I will be back! We showed up at 5pm when the opened but any later and you might need reservations.

This is the best Italian food I ever ate. I would highly recommend reservations because this place is busy! Frieindly staff, nice atmosphere and a great selection of wine

This place lived up to its reputation. The food was delicious, all four meals were just terrific. From the veal, the shrimp, and the signature sausages, the pasta was fresh, the sauces were all full of just the right flavors. And the portions were gigantic, everyone took home a left over box (which sadly meant no room for dessert). The whole staff was super friendly and helpful, even on a jam packed night. You can tell there were a bunch of repeat families by the way they all chatted with the staff. Not a big place so make sure you get a reservation (and make sure it is for the right place, the brother owns another restaurant in Arlington area).

This is my favorite place to go for Italian food in Columbus, or to order a family meal. The portions are always monstrous for the price. I am so thankful for this restaurant and the wonderful dishes! Our favorites and standouts are the veal meatballs, the veal lasagna, the chicken piccata and pasta (breaded chicken tho), the wedding soup and the Italian salad. I crave it almost every day, only wish I lived closer!

Last evening while dinning there I felt ill as a result of bad reaction to a new prescription med. Fortunately, one of the managers, Kyleigh (sp) was there to help immediately with a cold compress, and stayed with me until the emergency squad arrived. Turns out she is a nurse. I’m ok this morning, and cant thank her enough for being there to help. She deserves a raise! I look forward to thanking her in person very soon.
The food was very good & our service (Bridgette) was great!

WOW! What a phenomenal restaurant. I'm a bit of a food snob, and this is the freshest and best Italian food I've ever had in my life. Our waitress, Michelle, was so lovely and enjoyable to have. We plan on becoming regulars. Absolutely 5 stars. Thank you! ♥️

ORDER THE CRAB CAKES! While visiting Columbus, I decided to pick up dinner to enjoy at my hotel. The woman who took my order over the phone was friendly and helpful. I ordered fettuccine (egg noodles) with cream sauce and grilled chicken (which came with a salad) and a crab cake in lemon sauce I was excited to try.
Pickup was quick and easy, and back at my hotel I started with the crab cake—absolutely outstanding! Truly one of the top two crab cakes I’ve ever eaten!!!
Unfortunately, when I opened the fettuccine, the grilled chicken was missing. I double-checked the bag, then called the restaurant—not to demand a refund, but simply to let them know. Instead of apologizing and acknowledging the mistake, they repeatedly had me re-check my food and even spoke with other staff, insisting they remembered putting it in. It left me feeling as if they thought I was making it up, which was frustrating and unnecessary. They eventually offered an $8 credit for the missing grilled chicken, but I informed the staff that the credit would not be needed (since I would be heading back to Cincinnati the next morning). I have no feedback on the fettuccine since I did not eat it without the chicken. I am sure it was delicious though 🙂.
I want to emphasize: the crab cake was phenomenal and is the reason I will definitely return when I am back in the Dublin/Columbus area. But I hope the restaurant will take this as constructive feedback—great food deserves equally great customer service.

UPDATE! this is still my number one restaurant on the planet. THE most fabulous flavors ever. I can not brag on this cuisine enough. They are #1 I hope to meet the owner one day.
Well, hate to tell y’all bout this place but I have to. This food has the most flavor and the best flavor period. There is no “best” when it comes to food but I do recognize update: this is still my when it is a cut above, and this is one of those places. Do not let the building fool you, irrelevant. The Chicken Picatta really is the best ever. Home made noodles are fantastic. The lasagna is delicious. Every time I am in the area I will dine here no doubt. I think I could eat here every night. Service was outstanding. RTR
