Marcella's

SO. so. so. delicious. Before I start HUGE shoutout to our waiter, Asher, who was attentive, quick, accommodating to our whole party, and even took our photo for us. Service like that truly elevates the experience. We ordered a variety of appetizers, and they absolutely set the tone for the night. The roasted garlic cheese bread was a standout- warm, rich, cheesy, and perfectly indulgent. The melted pecorino with apples and honey? Genuinely exquisite. The sweetness of the honey with the sharpness of the cheese was such a crowd-pleaser and balanced beautifully. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken parmesan with marinara and linguine alfredo. I’ll be honest I typically don’t like alfredo. But this one completely changed my mind. It was creamy without being heavy, flavorful without overpowering the dish, and incredibly well balanced. And the chicken? Perfectly cooked. The crust was crisp and flavorful, the inside tender and juicy. Every component complemented the others so well. Nothing fought for attention, it just worked. I also tried a bite of the lemon tart for dessert, and it did not disappoint. The lemon had what my coworkers described as a “gentle punch” — bright and fresh without being overwhelming and the blueberry paired with it beautifully. Overall, such a wonderful night. Amazing food, thoughtful balance of flavors, and great service. Absolutely worth the visit.

Marcella’s was a good experience. Our food came out very fast and was delicious. We got the chicken parm and the fettucine and meatball, both were great. The service was also spectacular. The lady was so nice, and she gave us an extra free dessert just because. The atmosphere is very cool, just a little bit loud. I will be back!

Food was fantastic. Ordered the braised beef tagliatelle and it was just terrific. Came out hot, in a flavorful but not overwhelming sauce, and the beef inside each pasta was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. Restaurant is loud (to be expected for any place on High). Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere, service was amazing especially for a difficult larger group and the food was excellent 👌. First time in Columbus and was told we had to try, so we did! Great downtown location, it gets very busy especially for happy hour so plan on booking a half hour ahead if you want to get the half price apps and beer. Everyone raved about the meatball so of course we tried it. It's $17 as an app, so that's significant savings if you go at happy hour. I had that on top of spicy arribiatta. The meatball was extremely tender. I have to say that I don't have a lot to compare it to, but it was really good. The spicy arribiatta was very spicy. Very. Pasta was firm and you could tell it was definitely home made. Manhattan drink was on the sweet side for me but overall experience was great! And prices were very reasonable as well.

Found this on a last min search for food. This was an amazing choice. Pasta is made fresh from scratch and they work with any dietary restrictions you might have. Food is savory and makes you appreciate fresh pasta. Recommend this place to anyone in the area.
