    Our party of 7, including 2 children, was very well cared for. Our server attended to our needs always with a smile and a positive and professional attitude. We will definitely be back!

    Food was not as good as I remember from the many times we've eaten there. Waitress did not offer to pour the oil for the bread, just didn't feel the same. Prior to eating, we were sitting at the bar for 5 minutes before our other party arrived and were never offered to order a drink.

    As always a fantastic meal at Marcella’s. Our server EJ was amazing! The Burratta and Meatball are are among my favorite things to have anywhere. Paired with a great red wine it doesn’t get much better.

    The food was excellent. The noise was at an acceptable level - not too loud! We were very disappointed that we were seated in the main part of the restaurant (we had reservations) but were not able to take advantage of the Happy Hour specials. We have done so multiple times at the Short North location.
