    Outstanding service in an excellent atmosphere. Went to Marcella's last night after my university graduation, everyone's meals were delicious with generous portions, our waitress was personable and extremely capable (fast, kind, no mistakes on orders, drinks refilled promptly etc.). To top it all off my waitress also gifted me two spectacular cannolis for the road to celebrate my graduation. I'll definitely be back and encourage anyone on the fence to give it a try!!

    We had a great dinner. It was our first time here. We're new to the area. I first ordered the spaghetti and meatball. It was ok. But I personally did not like the meatball. I felt it was way too soft and undercooked for my taste. But they were very nice and allowed me to return it and order something else. So, I ordered the chicken piccata. It was SO DAM GOOD! My boyfriend ordered the gnocchi dish, and that was AMAZING, too. Had the cherry crostata for dessert, chefs kiss. We're definitely going to go back. Service was ok. Our waitress kinda disappeared after we got our food. Had to ask for someone to find her for us a couple of times. In fairness, they had started getting really busy. When we walked out, there must have been 20 people waiting. Definitely recommend reservations after 530pm on a Friday night.

    Where to start... The gluten free bread for the table was phenomenal. Our entire table was gluten free and tasted spot on. The chicken parm was huge and flavorful. The pasta alla carbonara was also great and had a perfect amount of sauce and was perfect with the chicken. Our waitress, Vanessa, was so nice and accommodating to our needs(lil bro had a crush). She even gave us a special off-the-menu desert after hearing about or gluten free travels. Will 100% come back again every time we’re near. The whole experience was SPOT ON!!!

    Best Italian meals we have had in our entire lives! Literally, best meatball ever, it was the size of a baseball. Our server was amazing, the food came out quick, especially for a Friday night! A must visit, I wish we lived in C-Bus because this restaurant is absolutely epic!

    Great all round Italian restaurant with more than plenty of choices for Gluten Free options. The Gluten Free options here almost make you want to question if they are actually GF as they are soooo delicious!

    This is my second trip to Columbus for work, and both times I've made it a priority to stop at Marcella's--first at the Short North location, and now at Polaris. I can confidently say: this place delivers, consistently. The star of the show is the meatball. I'd seen all the rave reviews online, and let me tell you--they're not exaggerating. It comes paired with fettuccine alfredo and marinara, and the combo of sauces works surprisingly well together. The meatball itself? Easily the best I've ever had. And no, I haven't been to Italy (yet), but I've had my fair share of meatballs--and nothing has come close to this one. We also tried an Melted Pecorino Cheese appetizer that included melted cheese, fig jam, and apple slices -- and it was quite good. A perfect blend of sweet and savory. I had the Italian wedding soup, which was a bit heartier than most versions I've had. It was solid--nothing mind-blowing, but definitely above average. The Milan Manhattan cocktail was well balanced and smooth, and we finished with the pistachio cannoli, which were crisp, creamy, and not too sweet. A great way to end the meal. Both times I've visited Marcella's, the service has been warm and attentive, and the atmosphere feels just upscale enough for a nice dinner while still being relaxed. If you're in Columbus and enjoy Italian food, go here. And whatever you do--get the meatball. You won't regret it.

    It was my first time here and I am so impressed. Nick was our waiter and his service was amazing. We ordered burrata and it was delicious I would definitely recommend to have it and then we ordered ravioli we didn’t like it that much it was ok, Nick made sure he took care of it and ensured that we left the restaurant happy. We were overwhelmed with his gesture. For dessert we ordered Tiramisu and it was yum. Special shoutout to Nick for his wonderful service absolutely no complaints!! If you haven’t tried this place, then do yourself a favor & try it ASAP!!

    I had an incredible experience at Marcello's. The warm, inviting atmosphere set the tone for a perfect evening. I ordered the three-cheese tortellini, and it was absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection with a rich, creamy sauce that hit all the right notes. The service was just as impressive. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered excellent recommendations that truly enhanced the meal. It’s rare to find such a perfect combination of great food and exceptional service, but this restaurant nailed it. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes! Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisines.
