    Tiny Italian restaurant with yummy homemade bread, pasta, soup & salads. We loved the manicotti and veal lasagne. Chicken parm is good too.

    Tiny Italian restaurant with great homemade bread, pasta, soups, and salads. We loved the manicotti and veal lasagne. Chicken Parm was good too. Servings are large enough to box up & have lunch the next day!

    This was my first time at Moretti's b/c why bother going out for Italian food? Well, this is why. Service was friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. All orders come out with a nice-sized loaf of Italian bread and herbed butter. I ordered the Eggplant Lasagne which came with salad or soup. The salad was fresh and lovely and even the tomatoes were good. Also, the portion size was generous so I came home with half of my dinner.

    Veal Francaise

    I followed the advice from a Facebook post about the best Italian restaurants in Columbus - of which there are several amazing choices. We were lucky to get a reservation at Morettis for Valentine's Day and it did not disappoint. Starting off with the complimentary homemade bread and herb butter. The bread was delicious but the butter was unlike anything I've ever had - and they sell it by the pint or quart. Yes, please! An $8 quart for the win! We also added in a couple drinks. My husband had the old fashioned which he thought was okay. I had the creamy limoncello martini which was tart and delicious. For dinner my husband had the chicken Parmesan and was really happy with his choice. Even though he went in with a big appetite, he ended up taking some home. The portions are really generous. I had the veal Francaise, a tender veal cutlet cooked in a lemony butter sauce with green beans and mushrooms and homemade spaghetti. It was incredible also. I ate about half and had a delicious lunch for the next day. The house salad that comes with every meal has a tasty homemade vinaigrette with pasta and crispy green beans. This was our first time at Morettis, but I would happily go back. Im so happy we listened to the Facebook recommendation!

    Love Morettis! This time I tried the pizza (they are really known for their pastas and make a very limited amount of crust every day. When they are out, they are out.) . Pep with half sausage & a lovely Chardonnay. Barbie & Jenn at the bar provide perfect service! When you've been here once you're family. Moretti's Sawmill Road...most everything is house made! For anyone that's curious about that chronically asked question of "Which Columbus restaurant/pizza place has the best crumbled sausage", I'd emphatically direct you to go here. The crust It's uniquely indigenous to this restaurant. Light, crunchy, deliciously oily, airy, fantasic crumb on the handle and house made every day. It would earn the title of artisan(which is exhaustively overused at so many other places without merit). Good, golden brown undercarriage with nice crisp finish. The sauce Handmade by Tommy Moretti every day with just the right amount of spices to accentuate but not overwhelm. Savory, not sweet at all. The toppings Good pepperoni, kind of mild, not charred and cupped ezzo(which i do love) but reminded me of the dried sausage/salami you'd get in Italy. House made sausage I can see why they showcase so many dishes with their crumbled sausage. Amazing seasonings and browned with copious amounts of it.In my opinion, the best sausage in Columbus! Great house made bread and delicious whipped garlic butter. A casually elegant atmosphere where you could dress up and bring your favorite partner for a date night or come with friends or solo in jeans.

    Believe it or not, THIS is a salad!!

    Ask the Community - Morettis

    Can you get vegetables in place of the pasta?

    Yes!

    Has anyone else had issues trying to call for a reservation? There's multiple numbers listed (yelp, google review, etc.) and no line is picked up. I've been calling non stop for the past 10 minutes with no luck.

    Nope, have never had a problem getting a hold of someone. They don't open till closer to dinner time so it probably depends on what time you call. I use the number from their actual website.

Small little table for two in main dinning area! There was a warm ambiance at the bar seating that is elevated from the main floor. Our server was Jackson and he was swift with water and patient with us as we combed the menu as it was our first time! Wife ordered a red wine that was good poor for the price with a solid flavor. I asked for a surprise cocktail, Jackson delivered! Basil-Gin Smash. It was an excellent pick and great read as a server! Started with complimentary oil and crushed tomatoes, excellent! We had the winter salad split with the Goat Cheese & Sundried Tomato Ravioli Roasted Pomodoro, Arugula, Pesto With an addition of 4 scallops. We will be back, thanks Jackson for the uncompromising quality experience! We look forward to checking out their happy hour!

Half price bottles of wine (up to $50 off), but not a single Cabernet on the menu under $100 so I went with an old fashioned. It was good, but I was a bit surprised a fancy place like this wouldn't use big rocks. Daughter had the espresso martini which was excellent. Their bread is served with an oil and tomato concoction that was to die for. Actually, I'm not sure if it was tomatoes or peppers, but it was crazy good. I think they sell it by the jar. For dinner I had the chicken parm. The chicken itself was okay, with the breading falling off in places , not overly crispy. Also, not overly large, but just fine for one meal. I'm used to taking half of it home, but this was just a bit larger than a half portion I would usually relegate myself to. The game changer was the red sauce. Holy cow was it good! A bit sweat, full bodied, just delicious. I wish they bottled that to take home! It was that good and more than made up for the mediocre service. About that, the waiter was friendly enough, just not that bright or attentive. I had asked for crushed red pepper when I ordered the chicken parm, which he never brought. It seemed that we waited forever for the check, then after paying, I realized I never got my credit card back. Waited for the kid to come back around, but he must have gone to the can to burn a mule, as he was no where to be found. I walked over to the server area and saw my card lying on top of the card reader, which I retrieved on my own. Normally, this experience would irritate me to no end and result in a poor review, but that red sauce was just sooooo good. Will definitely come back and try something else in that same sauce. Oh, and happy birthday to me! The complementary chocolate moose and the presentation was perfect.

The virtual kitchen is actually located in the Chili's kitchen on 161 near Sawmill Road in Dublin. You must order through DoorDash for delivery only. Maggiano's and Chili's are Brinker International restaurants. The food was hot and fresh when it arrived via DoorDash. The order consisted of Spaghetti and Meatball with Meat Sauce, and Cheese Raviolis with Meat Sauce. I typically do not like meatballs, but Maggiano's/Maggiano's Italian Classics have the perfect extra large meatballs. I highly recommend ordering the meat sauce instead of classic marinara. The meat sauce is so much better in my opinion. The Cheese Ravioli with Meat Sauce was pretty good as well, but I personally prefer the Spaghetti. All pasta entrees come with one breadstick. The portions are generous, but not huge. I wish Central Ohio had a brick-and-mortar Maggiano's with a full menu and dine-in option. Maggiano's Italian Classics will satisfy cravings for their chef creations, but special requests and modifications cannot be accommodated.

Maggiano's had a reputation for excellent food however something appears to have changed! I ordered carryout lasagna that was runny and not firm. It had more sauce and cheese spread out to give the appearance of an adequate serving size. The pasta was limp and the ingredients had a grainy texture. The item that disappointed the most was zucchini fritters. They were limp and had no distinct taste. To my surprise, later that evening I noticed there were little to no zucchini inside... only thin almost invisible slivers! I ordered a Caesar salad that consisted mostly of large stalks of romaine lettuce throughout the salad! Maybe, there was less than a teaspoon of Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Needless to say, I was disappointed that I had spent $60 for a double portion of Lasagna, a small salad and fritters and was left feeling unsatisfied! I am shocked that Maggiano's standards have been lowered! It was my go-to restaurant for many years!
