    We booked on a Monday evening for dinner. It also happened to be a happy hour which was nice. Honestly everything was almost included except for pasta and specialties so it was really a good deal. Our server was very attentive, just came on the right time when we wanted him. The food was freshly made and all of the proportions were perfect for sharing. We will definitely come back here again.

    A last minute opening on a busy Christmas Hop evening was the cherry on top of a great holiday evening! Gwyneth, our server was terrific and cheerful. The room was abuzz with holiday celebrations, and the staff was tolerant of the two children scampering back and forth from end to end at a nearby table. We enjoyed the experience, as always at Marcella’s.

    My husband and I came here for date night and it was amazing. Our server Cal was very knowledgeable, kind and pleasant to talk to. The food was incredible. Every bite we took we couldn’t help but be amazed at how good it was. We will definitely be back and be bringing family from out of town. Thank you to everyone involved for last night!

    The fifth time I’ve been here and it only gets better! Big crowd for an early Friday night dinner. We celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday. Food was great and our server Mira was fantastic!

    Ordered the fettuccine and meatball entree. The pasta was delicious, the meatball, not so much. While tasty, the texture was too soft.

    Great Italian food with several pasta dishes. Always get the Giant Meatball starter. Wonderful service. You feel a little packed in with tables tight together and rather noisy. Overall very good spot in Short North.

    First the positive, service was great and our server was very friendly. However, the food was not good. The lasagna was all dried out and tasted like it was made days before it was served. The Italian wedding soup app had not cooked completely. The orzo was still very hard.
