Marcella's

Food and service was outstanding..

That was some dang salty food. Waitress also refilled our water with a bottle from another seated table. It was weird.

Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in the area.

Nick was a great server, Restaurant week menu was awesome, ambiance was authentic and fun!

The food was excellent. They were busy but the food came out piping hot! The specialty cocktails were delicious.

Pros: The food is excellent, and the staff are all very customer oriented.
Cons: The music is unnecessary and just increases the noise level, making it harder to talk.

The restaurant is pretty tight and very hustle and bustle. It did not take away from the date night experience though. Our server Mira was awesome and I'd solely come back for her. The food was pretty good and the timing was nice.

Everything was great

My husband and I have been having date nights at Marcella’s for years. It never disappoints! Their wine selection is exquisite and their cocktails are strong. I typically start with their white or red sangria and switch to Chianti with my meal. My husband always orders a rum runner cocktail. My go-to entrée is the chicken Marsala and my husband loves the chicken parm. Nothing beats the Short North atmosphere and Marcella’s friendly staff who work their tails off.

Service was not great.

Great atmosphere, great food and amazing wine selection

One of the best experiences there! Our server was amazing and made sure to do frequent time check ins during happy hour so we could get everything ordered. He didn’t rush us at all and was so friendly! The food was delicious!

Table for 2, so small when pizza arrived there was no room for the wine glasses with the stuff on table( oil, candle, vinegar, menu card. So wine was in tiny glasses. Table size made very dinner an uncomfortable experience.

only thing that took away from our experience was the motorcycles revving along high st, but that's obviously not the fault of the restaurant. the entire service team was so kind and obviously working hard at every moment

NEVER disappoints!

Service was prompt and perfect; Matt was there to check on us, but didn’t overdo it.

The food? Oh, yeah-delish! Our table had spaghetti with meatball, salmon, and chicken parm. Every plate was empty at the end of dinner.

One small ding-the appetizer plate of zucchini was very small; the size of a tapas plate. Tasty, but small.

I wil continue to visit Marcella’s every time I visit C-bus. Yum!

The food was fantastic, as were the hostesses, manager, and bus boy. The atmosphere was also wonderful and the restaurant is in a great location. However, our server, Maria, was the worst part of the experience. She was clearly ignoring our table compared to the other three in her section. She told us we would only get bread after we put an order for food in (which I had to ask about 20 minutes later since we still hadn’t gotten), she did not check on us, she did not offer to bring my friend another drink, she did not ask us if we needed anything without being prompted, we had to ask another waiter to get her attention, to which she still did not come over to us. After the manager delivered our food, which was fantastic, she came over asking if we needed anything because she had been told we were asking. We said we had it figured out, to which she said okay and walked away. She stood over my two other friends’ shoulders while they were putting in the tip and she was overall rude in her actions and clearly did not think our table was worth her time.

Marcella’s was wonderful with the exception of our server, Maria.

Overall this was a really good place to meet up for a slightly casual dinner with solid Italian food and decent prices. Our waiter was attentive and personable.

Cheese appetizer and salads were delicious. Meatballs were very large, light and airy. Sauces on pastas were good.

Great service, great food! First time
Customer and will be coming back!

Food was fine, nothing special

It is not often I feel it’s necessary to post my disappointment in a restaurant. Cameron Mitchell restaurants are even more rare. Last night we went to the short north Marcellas. I had requested a high top table so I didn’t have to maneuver through the very crowed restaurant as I walk with a cane. There were high tops open but I was lead past multiple tables that were set for 4 people to the very back of the restaurant. The service was slow, and the food was average. I don’t believe we will return anytime soon.

Celebrated daughter’s 25th birthday! Good and service was excellent. Also, got an unexpected birthday treat for her. Tasty!

Wondeful server for two birthdays, one which was a 21st! Food was fabulous and 10/10 recommend the vodka pasta

Great casual Itilian food. Happy hour is awesome

Great! Love the happy hour prices and delicious food!

Loved everything! Definitely going back soon!

Went 2 days in a row. First day was pack, in my mind that a good sign. Second was less crowded and was great.
Try the potato chip pizza, I know but just try it!

The Beef Tortellini was very good.

Our waitress was amazing. She made the experience very enjoyable. I had the veal meatball and as always, delicious. I know I will sound old when I say this, but my husband and I did comment on how loud the music was and it might be nice if you played a little Italian music for the ambiance.

We will be back for sure.

Maria was a breath of fresh air as our waitress. She was outstanding

It was a bit loud for my business meal. It’s hard to hear each other. If your there for meal and drinks, it would be good.

Our meal and service were perfect. Unfortunately some tables are extremely close together to the point where we were uncomfortable.

Everything was excellent. Our server, Claire, was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food and drinks were amazing as usual. Will definitely be back.

Authentic Italian! Extremely good! A little noisy, not a place for conversations.

Amazing, we love Marcellas! Food and staff are great

I took my family there for my birthday. They easily accommodated all 9 of us and brought everything in a timely manner. Our waitress was super nice and friendly. The food was amazing, some of the best Italian I have had in Columbus. The location is incredible, you really can't beat the Short North!

What a great experience that was long overdue. We had forgotten how much it was to be out with nice size crowds and really good food. Marcella's will not disappoint. Great food, great price, great service and a fabulous ambiance. Check it out. The Short North is back.

Excellent food and drinks! Happy hour can’t be beat.

We had the absolute best dinner last night at Marcella's! It was a crowd pleaser. I have some dietary restrictions and this was the first restaurant that I've been able to get bread service at. It was so good! My kids are picky, but they loved their dishes. Everything came out exactly as ordered and piping hot. We also had two great servers because one was in training. They were absolute rock stars! It was a great place to dine on the last day of Pride month. :)

I liked the food and the drinks, but the tables seem to be really close together and when more people came in the music was loud and so were all the people talking at once.
