Marcella's

July 16, 2017

I was super impressed with how comfortable this restaurant made me feel and how great the food was. My husband noted that I have Celiac disease when he made the reservation, and they automatically gave me a full gluten-free menu that even included cocktails—all with prices (one of my pet peeves is GF menus that don't list prices). Our interaction with our server started with her bringing gluten-free bread for the table. Then she went over the specials and noted which one was gluten-free. I ended up getting a caprese salad and that special, which was risotto with taleggio cheese, chicken, mushrooms and truffles, and both were incredible. We will definitely return to this restaurant.

Actually went to the Polaris location. Very extensive GF menu and they GF seriously. The bill had "Allergy Gluten" marked on my selections. They brought me GF bread to dip in olive oil. I got a Caesar salad that had yummy Parmesan crisps and also ordered a pizza because of previous reviews. It was a flat bread pizza and rather than tomato sauce there were tomatoes. Very good meal and enjoyed eating outside. Highly recommend.

My daughters have celiac disease and ate at Marcella's without any problems. They loved their pizza! Staff were very knowledgeable and reassuring about how food for celiacs should be prepared! Thank you!

My wife has Celiac disease with dairy intolerance, and enjoyed the food with no reaction. She had the roasted cauliflower appetizer, Marcella's chopped salad, and penne all a Arrabiatta. She said the penne dish was spicy and delicious. I tried the GF chicken parmesan (unbreaded with cheese), which tasted amazing. Good GF pasta (penne). The food was amazing, and the environment was warm and welcoming. We'll definitely come back when visiting Columbus in the future.

This was great! The food was amazing, as well as the service! I would highly recommend. There is a designated gluten free menu and all workers are aware of gluten free. No complaints at all.

Outstanding food, fantastic serve, great wine! The gluten free bread that comes with the meal is the best focaccia style bread I've ever had!!

YES. Ordered a take-out gluten-free margarita pizza and it was delicious! They have an extensive GF menu (which is great for celiacs like me). The GF dough was not an up charge like at many other places, so the cost was totally reasonable. Cool atmosphere. I want to go back and try more!

Seems like they are good about cross contamination and everything, which I appreciate. But I got a pasta dish for pick up and the serving size was a box the size of my hand, for $16! Small for the price. I had the carbonara which is my go-to pasta and truthfully I didn't really like theirs much even aside from the price. UPDATE: went another time and got a gf 4 cheese pizza and holy mackerel that was good! They also gave me gf bread which was awesome. I'll be back for the pizza

Food is DELICIOUS!! I was traveling for a conference decided to do take out. Got a sausage, mushroom, black olive pizza (I posted a pic) it was so stinkin good. Olives are a bit salty so I'd leave them off next time. GF bread with my order was the selling point! It's a focaccia style with seasoning and a side of dipping oil; it was soft and delectable. You should absolutely visit this restaurant!!

Great place to dine! Offered GF bread when we sat down. Variety of options. I ate pasta, which is freshly made and delivered to the restaurant. Appetizers were plentiful. Staff is very knowledgable and curtious. Overall wonderful experience!

I was very pleased and surprised to hear from our waitress that the gf pizza and bread is prepared at a separate station ,separate oven, pans, ingredients etc How refreshing! Finally someone tAking cross contamination seriously!

This place is so unbelievable! I absolutely love it and the staff is so courteous and careful. For once I felt safe eating out! Definitely going to eat here for my graduation dinner!!

Great service and a huge GF menu! The food was delicious and, although minor, each time they brought food to the table they made sure to say it was GF. I appreciated that because to me it showed they cared and it eased some of my anxiety of eating out :)

Amazing gluten free food! Huge menu to choose from and they even have gluten free bread available ....great service as well!

Huge gf menu, gf bread....lots of options and as a celiac I felt very safe and didn't get sick. The food is heavy and has lots of garlic (lots). It's a solid safe option but overall it wasn't a favorite of mine. I had a gf risotto with sausage and broccoli and my celiac daughter had gf pasta with Alfredo sauce. The gf bread has a strong garlic taste on the crust. Nice to have a safe place to eat while visiting the Columbus convention center. I wish we had tried the pizzas.

Best. Gluten free restaurant. Ever. This is my all-time favorite place! They basically offer gluten free options for their entire menu! The gluten free bread is made to order and is amazing! The pizzas are fabulous, the pasta is outstanding- they truly make you feel like you don't have any sort of dietary restriction. It's a must-visit for anyone on a gluten free diet!

Marcella's was so delicious. They were very aware of celiac disease and gluten free. The waiter brought out bread and it was amazing and because it was so good, he cooked more for us to take home. The pizza was delicious. The service was amazing and they were so nice. Wish we could have gone back , but we were only there that day.

Amazing gluten free food! I even got complementary gf and dairy free bread. Delicious pasta! The pizza are even cooked in a separate oven.

Oh my god, best gluten free good ever! Though the wait was semi long it was worth that and even longer. When I asked for the gluten free menu upon seating the manager came over and reassumed me they had their own oven for their to die for gluten free bread (best I've ever had) and pizza (tasted like the real thing!) I decided to have gluten free penne Bolognese and my date had the pizza. Best meal of my life, I will definitely be a frequent visitor. As a celiac who is sensitive I felt great afterwards!!! Wish I could give it 10 stars!

We dined at Marcella's Short North on 9/7/13. The bread, pizza, antipasta, and parmesan onion appetizer were all fantastic. Wide variety of entrees available and the staff is very knowledgeable.
