Best Casual Restaurants in Short North - Arena District

Always a magical time at Marcella’s! Especially if you can score a picturesque seat by the window 😉✨

Always great service and wonderful space. Drinks and staff are always top notch.

We went to Forno during Happy Hour, specifically to order several dishes to share. It's such a fun atmosphere, and you will have a hard time finding a better happy hour with half of apps, pizzas, and most drinks. More than half their menu is half off! The food was great, and the service was just as awesome. Most people of our table of five thought almost all the dishes were a bit too spicy. Our favorites were the scallops, shrimp, and meatballs. We also ordered a sampling of desserts. While they are homemade and tasted amazing, a couple of them seemed a bit frozen. Overall, we will go back to Forno again. We always have great food and great service!

Always a great place to the oysters are amazing and you never leave hungry.

Lovely evening. Everything was wonderful. Great service.
