Reviews on Italian food in Bexley, Ohio, United States. Bexley is a suburban city in Franklin County, Ohio, United States. The population was 13,057 at the 2010 census. Founded as a village over a hundred years ago, the city of Bexley is an old, tree-lined suburb of Columbus, the Ohio state capital, situated on the banks of Alum Creek next to Driving Park and Wolfe Park, just east of the Franklin Park Conservatory. It is horizontally bisected by the National Road (Main Street), serving as a reminder of Bexley's origins as a merger between the prestigious Bullitt Park neighborhood to the north, and the Lutheran college community of Pleasant Ridge to the south.

Stopped in here after a play for a meal and were very happy with the taste and quality of the wood fired pizza. The pepperoni was truly the way it should be, small, curled up and a little grease holding in the curle. Great taste, well prepared and worth it. The house salad was excellent as well. Will definitely return here

Having flown 1million+ miles the past 5 years, this is one of best meals in I've ever had in or out of Columbus. As I've stated often, I eat out for a living. Mussels great flavor, I wanted to drink the sauce. Add fries to complete them. Sea bass, so flavorful, so flaky, so tasty.Short ribs-skip the onion strings, but oh so tender , just plain yummy.The filet, not many better anywhere!The dessert, you can get chocolate lava cake many places, but not like this with hazel nuts..I could eat this every day!!Very affordable wine list-simi cab was niceThe service, Katie was amazing. Ask for this Capital University student when you arrive. Good food without excellent service, is just a meal, combine excellent service and you have Bexley Premier. Come see these folks, don't let the name stop you, you won't regret it.Â

I would! We had a party of 7, and every.single.person loved everything. For appetizers, we had the seasonal salad, the Caesar salad, the zucchini salad, the Parmesan creme brulee, the risotto balls, the truffle pizza, the savory biscotti, and the oysters. For dinner, entrees included the short ribs (amazing!), the carbonara pasta, the eggplant parm, and something or other with shrimp. I should also give a shout out to the red sangria and the seasonal margaritas. We were so full, we had to pass on dessert. In addition to the food, service was some of the best Iâve had anywhere.

I've been coming to this Marcella's for years - my kids love it, they have a good wine list, and I can get a delicious gluten free meal. But last night's visit was just odd. Our server forgot things we ordered, intruded on our mealtime conversation by insisting on clearing things after we indicated we didn't want her to, etc. But the most bizarre thing of all was what happened when we ordered more wine. She brought over a little carafe and poured it into our (used) glasses, but it wasn't split evenly, so she POURED SOME WINE FROM ONE GLASS TO ANOTHER. What in the world? Again, these were used wine glasses. I do not understand. You just don't do that. Marcella's, I hope you work on staff training; this was weird and unacceptable.Thank you for the review R M. We're so sorry to read your most recent experience at Marcellas left more to be desired and was not up to the exceptional visits you've had in the past. We always appreciate the opportunity to connect with our guests and have shared your feedback with our management team and chef team at Marcellas. Thank you for bringing your comments to our attention.

Our first visit in years, will likely be our last.First, the smell was like no Italian restaurant I'd ever been in. It smelled like backed up grease traps.Can't judge the appetizer, it was never brought to the table. We canceled it when our dinners were brought out.My dish included mussels, exactly half of which didn't open. You don't eat unopened mussels. When I mentioned them to the waiter he did apologize. No offer of bringing out more.My wife is a pretty easy judge on food she doesn't have to cook, all she could say about it was that "it was alright"Thank you, Mark R.

5. Piada Italian Street Food

Reviewed By KickIt07012011
My husband and I try to eat here once a week! The staff is very friendly & the place is always very clean. It can feel a bit overwhelming the first time so ask questions! The piada is a grilled tortilla that you can get spaghetti noodles, sauce, vegetables & meat in. We do a piada with noodles, diavolo sauce, basil pesto sauce, zucchini, bacon (pancetta), parmesan, tomatoes & mixed greens. I also love the lemon basil dressing and sundried tomatoes. The tomato basil soup is soooo good! Hot, thick and full of flavor! The piada sticks are great dipped in Parmesan dressing. Try the cannoli chips for dessert. The only thing better would be for Piada to open a store in Grove City! So as far as price... A veggie piada, bowl of soup, a piada stick and a drink runs us $16 but we share it all and walk out full! Dear KickIt,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We are always striving to deliver the highest level of service so we are absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your husband have such a great impression! We look forward to seeing you back at Piada again soon!

We were here with a group of friends. The drink selection is solid but service was below standard for a high end restaurant. Once seated it still took time for a server to acknowledge us. Disappointing considering that right off the bat I ordered one of the most expensive wines on the menu for my crew. The menu had a good selection and they did cater to my wife's gluten allergy which was appreciated. All the meals were good but nothing spectacular. Between 4 appetizers and 8 entrees no one had any complaints or glowing remarks. The decor and ambience are lively/ modern, but lack of consistent service is what brings it down a notch. It has promise if the owner and management make an effort to do so

3. Rubino's Pizza

Reviewed By 73randallw
Being from Upper Arlington rather than Bexley, I'd heard about Rubino's for decades, but never eaten there. I read a number of reviews before going with the family and now understand why folks either love the place or hate it. Opened in 1954, Rubino's hasn't changed much since then nor have they spent any money on decor, furnishings, or cleaning, so if you're looking for an upscale pizza experience, this ain't it and the pizza certainly isn't "deep dish". But if you're looking for one of the best thin crust, and I mean really thin, pizzas in a throwback atmosphere, this is the place. Order double cheese on anything you get. The pepperoni is great as are the other vegetable toppings, but while a lot of people rave about the thinly sliced sausage loaf, it didn't do anything for me. No beer, wine or liquor. Very kid friendly and the waitresses are great. Also remember it's cash only.

I was reluctant to choose Capellini with Marinara sauce. I had done this at countless restaurants over the years and I doubted this would be different. How wrong I was! I had the best pasta of my life. The service was not the best but the food was divine. Like Italian? Rush.
