Best Authentic Restaurants in Westerville

We really love Marcella’s! The ambience is very nice, the food is good, and the service is always fantastic! I had a glass of the house red wine and spaghetti with red sauce, while my husband had a draft Stella and the Cappelini Pomodoro. They also offer warm Italian bread. Our food was hot, a great portion (truly not too much or too little), and tasted good. We both agreed that Marcella’s is kind of like the Olive Garden of the past where the food was amazing for a chain Italian restaurant and was something you really look forward to. So that to say, it’s not like the most outstanding Italian meal you will ever have, but it’s very good and a fun experience. Our bill came out to a very reasonable price which was great. We were seated in the bar area and our server, Sasha, was incredible. I will always sing the praises of Cameron Mitchell restaurants if for no other reason than the service is spectacular. Marcella’s is always my go to for Italian dining!

The hibachi was tasty. Highly recommend the Wagyu beef selections - it’s a bit more pricey but the taste is well worth it. Don’t forget to check to make sure it comes with the lobster tail. My chef forgot about it so my wife and I ended up getting $20 off each.

The Valentine Fixed Price menu was a very good deal and the food was fantastic. We tried something new - the Gorgonzola crusted beef medallions - amazing ! We like our beef well done - these were cooked to perfection, very tender and flavorful. Service was awesome. The table decor for Valentine’s Day was a nice touch. I am not a big fan of caramel but the Caramel Marscapone Cheesecake was delicious.

Our server, Greg, was amazing! We brought my mother in law for the first time and he made her feel so welcome and comfortable. Able to answer all questions with a professional manner, and knew the right times to joke around. Compliments to the entire team and also to the chefs that cooked our amazing meals.

Love the new bar area - although it is too loud and hard to hear the bands play. It would be nice if you could add some sound absorption material in the room. Maybe some speakers distributed at a lower volume in the room would be helpful.
