    mouth dropping, drooling while writing this. it's truly delicious, the vibe of the restaurant was very cute and service was good

    We have been to this location quite a bit but finally getting around to reviewing. What drew me in this time was the pickle pizza. And I had to add bacon of course. It wasn't the best pickle pizza I've had in the city but very good! Probably number 2 haha. The sauce is super creamy with that garlicky flavor that goes well with the pickles and bacon. The slices are pretty loaded as well so I ate off this for a day or 2.

    Boyfriend and I ordered an Uncle Junior meatball sub. It was such a wet sub, you need knife and fork since you could not pick it up. The sauce was not very flavorful and the meatball did not look appetizing. (See photo) I took two bites and gave up on it. I don't think we will try them again.

    Visited for the first time and ordered the Nicky Santoro - 3 handmade beef meatballs, hot giardiniera, provolone and mozzarella cheese, in an Italian torpedo roll. Meatball was a good, solid meatball. Bread was soft and tasty. Sauce was REALLY good. Giardiniera was very spicy but in a good way. Overall, a great meatball sub! Gonna try the pizza next time!

    My first trip to Center Street Market was for the reviews of Meatball Mafia. Service was fast and friendly. I had the StandUp Guy because I thought it wouldn't be very heavy. It was incredible. And thick. I couldn't finish the 12" pie. The drink options are fairly limited to canned drinks and bottled water. Keep in mind that indoor seating is limited and parking may be limited depending on when you are there.

    These are some tasty meatballs! Dude who took the orders was not the friendliest, but just keep those meatballs coming and I don't care. We got the large meatball bowl which comes with marinara, mozzarella and ricotta. The ricotta was cold and did not go with the rest of the flavors. Next time I would ask them to leave that off. Tip for "meatball subs at home" night - they sell one dozen meatballs for $20.

    First time eating here and I will definitely be back for more. We ended up getting a double pepperoni and cheese pizza. They only have one size and it's a 12". I loved the pizza and the taste of it. However, I felt the crust was slightly burnt. Could have been accidently burnt on the edge, but it was still edible. Easily 4.25 out of 5 for taste. A must try if you haven't yet.

    The Giuseppe - meatball, onion, and green pepper drizzled with ricotta. You gotta try this!

    I am very excited to have Meatball Mafia down the street! Their food is always high quality and they have great service. At Center Street Market, they have a text system to alert you when food is ready so you do not have to wait inside, you know, COVID. They have a specialty pizza that tastes like lasagna, in the very best way. The Giuseppe has onions, green peppers, meatballs, and ricotta on top. The meatballs are broken up so the toppings are evenly distributed and generous. This is pan pizza with a substantial crust, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Try their pizza, you won't regret it!

    Pizza was average in flavor and way undercooked. Sauce lacked flavor and was very doughy. Service was fine and ordering was easy

    Delivery during COVID-19

    As a Destin, FL native now living in Dublin, OH, I've been on the hunt for the best spots around…read morehere. A coworker of mine suggested this place to me a year ago when I started my new job. After skimming through the reviews I was a bit hesitant on coming here, but honestly I can assure you that the only thing I regret is not trying this place sooner. My boyfriend and I noticed it was in a small plaza and our first thought was that a "hole in the wall" place are usually the best so we were immediately excited. I did make a 6pm reservation after reading the reviews even though it was Wednesday and we were seated on arrival. We noticed the place was starting to get packed so I do agree that making a reservation would be best or try to avoid coming here on the weekends if you have issues with waiting or being crammed in small places. From start to finish, everything was a delight. Here's what we savored: * The homemade bread and butter- simply fantastic. I was going to ask for warm bread after reading a review, but since the waitress brought it out immediately I didn't mind and honestly it didn't need to be warm because it was good as is. The butter IS a true winner. I had to pace myself because I didn't want to fill up too soon! * Apps: WARNING portions are generous enough to be meals! We couldn't believe they were appetizers when it was brought out. Crab Cake- I've eaten a lot of crab cakes and I will say no, this wasn't the best crab cake I've had in my life BUT it was definitely a really good crab cake. Especially one with no breading. It was served with a delicious lemon butter sauce. Whoever wrote that the sauce was "sour" in a review made me giggle while eating this because I mean the sauce has lemon in it... hence the name, but even so the flavors were perfectly balanced and I enjoyed every bite. Fried Eggplant- okay my taste buds went over the moon with this one. An absolute standout. The eggplant was cooked to near perfection, and the creamy tomato sauce was to die for. 10/10! It was such a flavorful dish. Tossed Salad- a fresh, vibrant salad with a vinaigrette dressing so addictive we finished it in minutes. This is a unique salad because of the bow tie pasta in it. The tomatoes and green beans that also come in the salad are a nice touch and very enjoyable. * Entree- my boyfriend ordered the Chicken Marsala and he loved it! The chicken was cooked flawlessly, and the pasta was incredibly soft--possibly one of the best texture I've ever experienced. The marsala sauce was rich and flavorful. Ravioli- I opted for the spinach noodles with ricotta cheese and chose the link sausage. I also asked to have the crumbled sausage added as well (for an extra charge) because I needed to try this sausage that everyone has been talking about..... This Morettis sausage recipe does NOT disappoint. If you don't like "spice" you won't like it because it does have a kick to it, but I enjoy spicy. I will say I'm a fan of the crumbled sausage over the links though. It may be the same thing??? but I could go without the link casing. The ravioli were massive, perfectly stuffed, and absolutely delicious. Dessert: We couldn't resist not ordering and trying the dessert so we took it to go. They were offering a caramel apple cheesecake. After the food coma wore off, we enjoyed it at home, and I fell even more in love with this place. It's unlike anything I've tasted--cheesecake with apples inside is a game-changer! Every sauce and dish was outstanding, bursting with flavor and made with care. Karen took excellent care of us, making us feel welcome and ensuring we had a fantastic first experience. We're already planning our return to explore more of the menu. Thank you for a wonderful dinner. This place truly exceeded my expectations!

    5 stars. OMG. We will definitely be back…read more Went on a Friday night and the place was PACKED. People were standing outside waiting, so I'd definitely make a reservation. The employee who helped us was very friendly. We got the chicken parm, Alfredo, pizza, and bread with homemade butter. Everything was delicious. The pasta tasted fresh, the Alfredo noodles were my favorite, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The pizza was AMAZING. Hidden gem. The crust was soft, chewy, and perfectly crisp, and that pizza sauce is perfection. My only complaint is they didn't have utensils available for takeout. We had a 20 minute drive home and were ready to dig in immediately, so that was a little disappointing. Already looking forward to our next visit.

    Long ago Marcella's was one of my faves (specifically the SN location). Creative drinks, basic but…read moregood Italian fare and a great happy hour. Those days are long gone. The Polaris location is large and has a decent patio. The bar/lounge area is pretty big too, that's where we were sat when we came in for a weekend meal. Started with drinks and some apps. The cocktails were small and kind of meh. They only had 2 drafts, Stella & Peroni. I like both but it was strange that they had no other selections. The worst part was by far the food. Arancini - 6/10, nice crispy texture but the taste was a bit unexpected, like the added a bit too much Gorgonzola. Calamari - 7/10, a bit chewy but with a nice crisp, missing something fresh. Beef carpaccio - 2/10, Marcella's used to have an absolutely delicious carpaccio... this was a bit of an abomination. Beef slices too thick, crispy flatbread that broke up when I looked at it wrong, a white sauce on top that made the whole dish worse. Absolutely do not recommend. Dinner was a few pizzas 2/10 (read: precooked flatbreads with subpar toppings). The crispy potato "pizza" needs to be taken off the menu. Garlic sauce, cheese and these awful, overcooked potato chips. It was inedible - all 5 people at the table tried it but put their slice down after the first or second bite. Pizza Margherita DOC was a very salty, tomatoey thing. I think the grocery store version would be a better choice. We also shared the Pepperoni Sausage with mushrooms which was better, but it was undercooked and watery. Our friends got the Carbonara Pasta and said it was ok, but did not want to take their leftovers home. I don't get the hype or appeal of Marcella's whatsoever. Our server was fine, the food was terrible, ambiance is meh. Will not return.

    I expected much better from a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. Unfortunately, Marcella's fell short…read more We started with the charcuterie board, which was supposed to include goat cheese but didn't. Instead, it came with two small pieces of something unidentifiable and some American gorgonzola--very little blue cheese overall. The meats were overly fatty, and most of them were left on the board. I ordered the chicken giardiniera for my entrée, and it was a letdown. It was essentially a breaded schnitzel topped with chopped tomatoes, which completely ruined the breading. The cocktails were the highlight of the night--strong and well made. Unfortunately, the wine pricing was hard to justify. A bottle of Matua that retails for around $10 was priced at $40. Between the disappointing food and inflated prices, this isn't a place I'd return to.
