My mom and I visited Marcella's today and had an awesome lunch!!!! We had Colin as our server and he was an absolute ray of sunshine, and made my mom's birthday lunch wonderful. He took great care of us, and went above and beyond to provide us with everything we could possibly need. Both of our food was awesome and I highly recommend the spaghetti and meatball!!

I love this restaurant. The food is great and the service we received the last visit was phenomenal. Why only 4 stars? The chicken risotto is awful. i tried it last week at the downtown location and it was undercooked. Thought I would give it another try at the Polaris location and it was even worse- undercooked, really salty and the chicken was so overcooked it wasn't even chewable. I have never had another dish there that I haven't loved, but this one needs some work. I won't let this deter me from visiting my favorite restaurant, but obviously I will steer clear of the risotto.

Excellent! Amazing Italian food. They know how to make REAL meatballs and bolognese sauce too. My husband is Italian and we cook well so we are pretty opinionated about Italian food. Drinks were excellent -wonderful wine list with many great Italian wines. I especially like the margarita with Italicus! Nicely done. My husband and son had the Gin cocktail it was fabulous. The veal meatball appetizer was spot on. So wonderful. We shared a Caesar salad so we didn't fill up. The prosciutto bruschetta was amazing. My husband had the lamb gnocchi and when I say the lamb Bolognese sauce was spot on he compared it to his Nani's! My son had the chicken piccata which he stated it was the best he ever had. I had the famous chicken parm with linguine Alfredo. Alfredo was excellent and the parm was so crispy and not soggy but yet juicy in the middle. It was all so good. We were celebrating my son's birthday so we got the tiramisu which didn't disappoint but the pistachio cannolis were out of this world. We drove down from Cleveland to visit our son and we will definitely be back. I'm glad I used yelp to read reviews I was really looking for good Italian in Columbus and I found it. Diana was one of the best servers I've seen in a while. We will be back and requesting her. I see so many people complaining about table not ready.......the food is good! Relax......we had an open table reso and it wasn't ready so we had a drink at the bar and our table was ready 15 mins later! It was so worth it!!

Had a reservation. Arrived on time waited 10 minutes for a table ( not a big deal). When seated at a table that was not acceptable ( seated next to the kitchen and by a table filled with children, love kids but I'm a teacher needed a break). They were not willing to move us ( there were many empty tables) .We choose to leave. Very disappointing .

Great experience. All the food was delicious. Penne alla vodka, meatball, calamari hit the spot. Nice holiday decorations. Good wine and service

We made a reservation via opentable for 9:00 thinking they closed at 10:00. When we arrived the door said 9:00. We almost left because I felt so bad about being so late, but our server Jim displayed hospitality at its core. He assured us that he was happy to take care of us, and insisted we relax and take our time. Food was all very hot and fresh, and Jim made excellent recommendations.

Marcella's is amazing for date night, family affairs & anything nice/intimate really. I love the location..obviously super convenient right by the mall. The staff is a bit wonky. But the food is awesome, I would love to check out the other location!! I got a bottle of the Sauv, of course. I got an app with a salad. It clears out kinda early here, so book your reservations early. You feel almost pushed out by closing time.

I just paid $25 for Chicken Marsala , I received half the amount I normally received, paid more and it's not as good. I traveled 30 minutes away from my home. Never again!

Marcella's is another fantastic Cameron Mitchell's restaurant. The Polaris location has ample, free parking. The restaurant is large and noisy but that adds to the ambiance. The restaurant accommodates people with food allergies. Service is top notch.

Not a fan of flavors of food. Overpriced to taste mediocre. They put too much dressing on my salad, it was literally drenched. Flavor pairings do not mesh well. I have also eaten the Marsala but the dish was unbelievably sweet. The food is not palatable.

Typical excellent service for a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. Always a good time with friends. The ambiance is wonderful. Good place to take your loud friends.

Great service and Italian food with GF options for their pizza and pastas which is nice. The Salmon Al fresco is amazing and a must try!

This is my go to restaurant for gluten free food. They have a great selection, including yummy bread. I highly recommend the chicken parm. The staff are always wonderful and go above and beyond to give you the best experience. I recommend calling ahead to order gluten free meatballs. They are delicious but require additional notice.

We were visiting from out of town and were able to get reservations here last minute. We wanted to love it and had high hopes but it unfortunately left us disappointed. We were seated quickly. The restaurant was noisy and it was hard to hear. The bread and oil were nothing special (would have loved some seasoning!). Our entrees were not great. We had chicken Marsala (gluten free) and eggplant Parmesan. The chicken was slightly dry and something about the flavor just seemed off. Eggplant Parmesan was pretty average. Our server and server in training duo were very nice and attentive but overall the food really dampened our experience.
