   Between the 5 of us we tried four different dishes and all were excellent (arrabbiata, chicken parm, ravioli and veal piccata). The tiramisu is likewise delicious. It was quite loud even at 8:45 pm (admittedly on a Friday), but the food was well worth it!

   The service was good - but it takes to long to get your drink order - they should have a bar tender that just works the wait station - I was served my appetizer and completing finished it before drink order came - this needs to be addressed with the management team . This isn’t the first time. It happens most times when I’m there

   Some food was bland and could use more salt while other food was overly salted and oily Arancini could have used more salt and less oil Ravioli was overly salty and oily Pizza was the best thing on the menu but not great Strawberry balsamic martini was too bitter, wasn’t able to finish it. Fresh baked bread was good but too flat. Meatball was too soft and lacked flavor, sauce could have used more salt and character Carpaccio was awful and had to be sent back Server was very good and friendly other than seemed off when sending back the martini. Her attitude changed slightly in a defensive manner.

   I had a great experience at Marcella in the Short North. The atmosphere was chic but welcoming, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. The food and cocktails were beautifully presented and full of flavor—definitely a spot I’d return to for a night out or special occasion.

   I had lasagne and my hubby had fettuccine with a giant meatball. We both feel that this food was top notch, very tasty.

   Great meal and the braised veal meatball is worth the trip itself. Fresh pastas were great too.

    This was my second visit but the first for my girlfriend. We ordered Arancini as an appetizer and it was incredibly delicious. My girlfriend ordered fettuccine with their veal meatball, I ordered the veal piccata with polenta. The polenta was out of this world but the veal piccata needed more garlic and lemon. The veal was probably one of the most tender pieces of veal I’ve ever had. My girlfriend liked her meal but thought it needed a bit more salt. The service was not all the bad considering that it was a prom night for many local high schools. We did however have to ask twice for Parmesan cheese. We ordered tiramisu for dessert. It was ok but nothing to write home about. We only ate half of it.
