- MMarcoColumbus •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFood is always great. Calamari, caprese, mussels and so much more. Came here for a late birthday celebration and gave us a tiramisu cake which I love so much. A little bit sweet but it's so good. Mat served us and he was very attentive. The place was honestly quiet even if there were many people (except for people ordering in loud voices) but overall I think it was exceptional.More infoMarcella's - Short NorthPrice: Moderate• Italian• Short North - Arena District•4.8

- SStephanieChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined on 2 Jan 2025We went before a hockey game and were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. Nicely decorated with a pleasant ambiance. Casey, our incredible server, came over right away and told us about the great happy hour specials, including many menu items at 50% off as well as cocktails and wine. Casey gave us many good suggestions and brought out our food in a timing and logical manner. She checked on us several times and we never felt rushed. Good food at reasonable prices with a great server. Highly recommend!More infoThe Guild House - ColumbusPrice: Expensive• American• Columbus•4.8
