Inconsistent food quality - the wedding soup should be renamed funeral soup as it was sad. High prices for below average Italian. Food reminiscent of something out of a can. Hire a chef. read more

First time here. I travel to Columbus several times a year and Moretti's is now on top of the list. I had veal with penne topped with Alfredo sauce. The salad was incredible as was the bread.It was the absolute best I have ever had. Outstanding service, very nice atmosphere reasonably priced. Do yourself a favor and eat here. read more

This evening was our first visit to Moretti's on Sawmill. We had the crab cake for an appetizer, Chicken Marsala and the Chicken Moretti. The salad and soup. I myself am not a huge pasta fan. It is something I could take or leave and it is never the first choice of a meal. I have to say the food was absolutely amazing. Everything was so fresh and aromatic. Each item was cooked perfectly. The chicken was beyond tender. I just couldn't believe how good it was. The homemade bread with butter and sauce to dip in. Omg it was excellent. I wish we had a tub of that butter in our fridge. I have eaten all over the country while working and this place is on the top of the list for food for sure. In addition to the food being exceptional. Our waitress Brook was probably the best waitress I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was super nice, very hard working and exhibited exceptional customer service skills. We can't wait to go again and we will be asking for our same waitress for sure! read more

This has become one of our favorite places in town since our first visit. Our servers since the initial letdown have been great. We love the homemade bread (even at room temp) with the whipped herb butter. And our favorite dish is the link sausage plate. The homemade sausage is spicy and flavorful and go great with the onions, peppers, red sauce, and homemade pasta. The sausage lasagna with spinach pasta is also good as is the crumbled sausage plate, which comes with creamy tomato sauce (get it with homemade pasta instead of boxed penne!). Also, if you don't want to wait in line, make a reservation (we always do). read more

We usually split a grilled chicken breast salad and it is plenty. The chicken is sauteed and tender and moist- the salad is combo fresh greens and veggies and antipasta type red peppers and sauteed green beans. My only suggestion is that the bread (although very good) would be better warmed, and the place could really use a face lift as it is getting a bit shabby inside. read more

Best Italian food in the city! Authentic and delicious...and HUGE portions, just how grandma used to serve. From the bread and garlic/herb butter, to the soup or salad (both delicious), to any entree...this place can't go wrong. I've made it about halfway through the menu now, and I've loved it all! Their pizzas are a secret gem...but they're in limited supply each night so order earlier rather than later or you'll miss out! Make a reservation ahead of time if there's more than 2 of you...it's a small restaurant and they get packed, fast. Worth every penny. read more

Good service and good food, but skip the "cannoli" at this place if you are looking for the traditional Italian desert. Some my disagree, but I think chocolate should be used to enhance the flavor, not be the primary ingredient. read more

BEWARE!!! The owner is rude and shady billing practices are commonplace. My family and I visited the establishment last night while there were truly eight of us two of them were babies therefore we did not think that they would be included in the total guests. You see a party of eight or more and like most places they add an 18% gratuity to your check which is fine. The total of the bill came to $336 my husband rounded up to 400 and we left. in the parking lot I asked him how could the bill be that much I could not make it add up in my head. I went back in and asked to see the bill the hostess who told me she is also a server got the bill for me and I asked her to point out to me where the 18% gratuity was she admitted that she could not read the hand written check very well and had trouble finding where the server added it on. Keep in mind she has more light standing there than any of us do in this dark restaurant at any of the tables not to mention we were in the very back corner. She finally found some sort of small...very small scribbling where 18% had been added on. I simply scribbled out our $70 tip and re totaled the bill. I was upset because I felt that the server knew exactly what she was doing in making this not legible. I asked to talk to the manager the hostess went to get the manager came back out and informed me he was too busy to talk with me. I gave her my number and ask her to have Tommy the owner call me the next day. When he did not call I called him. he immediately was very brash I kept a very calm tone and explained the situation. He began to tell me that he nor his his server had done anything wrong and if I say they did that I am a liar those are his words a liar. I asked him why he was becoming so aggressive with me as I was very calm and trying to have an adult conversation. He continued to yell at me and call me names and tell me that he didn't even have to have this conversation with me. I very calmly told him that neither myself nor my family would ever be back to the restaurant not because of the incident that happened last night but the way he the owner was handling a customer. His response to me was that he did not care he did not need our business he has a big enough business that he doesn't need or want people like me in there. I have never in my life been spoken to the way he spoke to me. I told him that I believed the conversation needed to be over I wished him a good day as I was hanging up he called me a bitch. I will say the food there is pretty good the service was mediocre. We had to ask our server multiple times if we could have a refill on water. We had to ask multiple times if she would please clear our appetizer plates in order to give us more room because our food had come we were squeezed into the very back corner and we didn't have very much room to begin with. She was not very friendly at all and it seemed like we were just an imposition to her. She also kept running her hands through her hair which sort of grossed me out a little bit. And when taking my oldest grandchild to the bathroom I was shocked to see one of the servers take a straw out of a drink taste the drink put the straw back in and serve it to a table. I can only hope that table was her family. It is an extremely loud restaurant this was a Tuesday night and they were busy as busy as you can be for a very small restaurant but it was so loud it's hard to hear one another speak. Lastly it is extremely expensive the quality of the food and the cost of the food do not match there are many more Italian places in the Columbus area that are much better have much better atmosphere much better service and now I can honestly say much better owners. Lastly when I suggested to him that I would be writing an article on yelp he told me "that's not even a threat to me I don't give a damn about yelp anyone who gets on that is stupid anyway" read more

Love this place! Everything tasted fresh like they made it right there. The food was rich, hearty, and delicious. Was worth getting the pricier foods on the menu, the meal left us stuffed, and the staff was wonderful. Definitely coming back! read more

My favorite place for Italian in Columbus. I love their wedding soup and although I do try something different every once in a while, I usually stick to my favorite - spaghetti and meatballs. Homemade pasta and the sauce is just right (not too sweet and the right amount of garlic). The veal meatballs are amazing. I could write a whole review on the chocolate chip cannoli - out of this world! Yes, the location is a little 'different' and the seating is cramped, but after trying MANY so-called Italian places in Columbus, Moretti's on Sawmill is worth it! Also - don't make the assumption that Moretti's of Arlington is just another location for Moretti's on Sawmill - although I think some of the same family recipes are used, they are not the same restaurant. My meals at Moretti's of Arlington have been disappointing compared to Moretti's on Sawmill and the sauce is totally different (and not in a good way). read more

We had a great experience at Moretti's last night. The food was fantastic, as usual, but on this occasion it was eclipsed by the service provided by a server named Jessica. She is probably the best server we have encountered in a very long time. She greeted us promptly with a great attitude that she maintained the entire evening. She noticed our table was slightly wobbly and immediately fixed it with a smile on her face. She was very attentive without over doing it. She went above and beyond in providing very professional service. For example, I mentioned that the red sauce was a bit too spicy for me and she immediately offered to bring something else. I declined, but appreciated her desire to make sure her customers are happy. Jessica is a real gem in a restaurant that serves some of the best Italian food in Columbus. I highly recommend the veal dishes. read more

Great food - but salad was drowning in dressing. Italian sausage is outstanding.

My new favorite spot for Italian. I always go to Carfagnas, but this was too good. Had the fried eggplant for an app, and the veal Marsala for an entree. Huge portions and the food is amazing. Highly recommend Morettis read more

This is hands-down the best authentic Italian restaurant that I've ever come across. I lived in Columbus Ohio for 15 years and then moved to Phoenix Arizona and I can't find any Italian restaurants that even come close to the excellent food Moretti's produces. If the owners of Moretti's is looking to expand please open a location in Chandler Arizona!! read more

One of the best Veal Parmegeans in the country. Service is good. Food is high quality and high quantity. Great attention to detail - the bread's butter is home made and delicious. The salad is different. Every dish is delicious. Highly recommend it. read more

Vegetarians skip this place - Seemed like a nice. We were excited at the extensive list of what appeared to be vegetarian dishes. But apparently meat balls are marinated in red sauce, so there went 75% of the dishes leaving Pasta Primavera and couple other creamy sauce dishes. They were also out of pizzas. While we appreciate letting us know that the tomato/red sauce dishes were all not vegetarian, we hope the management would consider keeping a small portion of red sauce vegetarian. Not going back. read more

Excellent Italian food and huge portions. Enough for another meal. Knowledgeable wait staff. Must have lots of regulars, as the wait staff know many customers by first name. read more

I discovered morettis a few months ago and can't get enough. Homemade pasta! Food is delicious. Best Italian in Columbus. I saw a few other reviews on the price. Do you know how long and labor intensive it takes to make homemade pasta. Well worth it, in my opinion. read more

Excellent food and service! My wife and I visited on a Friday night. They were busy but got us seated quickly. Homemade noodles were great. Had the ravioli. They prepared them from scratch, like all of their pasta, for the order. Wonderful! My wife had the eggplant parmesan. Very large and tasty portions. Nothing frozen. Reasonably priced. A real gem! read more

I chose to go here for my birthday dinner based on all the positive reviews here. Thoroughly disappointed. There is no ambience here whatsoever unless you're at the bar. We got the calamari special. The breading for the calamari is sweet...pretty strange. The marinara was good though. My husband asked me how the wedding soup was... I said it's good chicken soup with macaroni pasta. Our entrees were decent ... veal marsala with mushrooms sliced 1/4" thick, chicken piccata and chicken parmesan. We weren't too crazy about the homemade spaghetti, which was served in mounds with our dishes -- too much. If you are looking for a lot of food, come here. For a finer dining experience, definitely go elsewhere. read more

Some of the best Italian I've ever had. You can't go wrong with the chicken parm and a canolli. I'd here everyday if I could. Home made bread and pasta not to mention the garlic butter is out of this world! read more

Best Italian restaurant in Columbus! Ask any Italian person and they will agree. It doesn't get any better than this.

One of my two favorite Italian restaurants in Columbus. Food is outstanding, ambience is great for conversation (soft jazz typically in the background), staff is just the best. The Veal Moretti is worth the trip no matter where you are coming from, and there are many other options. Prices are also good, you just can't go wrong in here. read more

The best red sauce and homemade pasta ever. Ive eaten here for 15 years and never had a bad dish. Absolutely delish!!

I ate here for the first time tonight. I had the lasagna, it was awesome. I read all the reviews before going, do not let the poor reviews keep you from going, Great food, great service, strip mall location is not inspiring but the inside is ok. read more

Amazing!!! Columbus is fortunate to have such a treat. I can't wait to go back. Just like mamas!

The best Italian in Columbus. Hands down. My Nonna is from Italy, refuses to eat ANY Italian food unless is it from her kitchen or one of her children's kitchen. We took her to Morettis and she loved everything. I've been going to Morettis for close to 10 years now. I've had or tasted about everything on the menu. I have never been disappointed in anything. Everything is made fresh daily including the pasta. You can't beat it! read more

The best Italian in the country hands down. I've eaten here at least 30 times over the years and the food is always excellent. Every time I try something new it becomes an instant favorite. Catering is also great option for hosting larger parties. read more

Best old school Italian restaurant in the city! Love the house salad and all the pasta choices. Great date night or place to impress company read more

Portions are huge! However if you are able to eat it all, the food is quite good.. It is slightly on the expensive side tho. The dishes are made with good ingredients with a lot of quality veal dishes. The sauces taste homemade, with ample cheese spread upon everything edible (OK, not everything...). The wine selection seemed limited, but I am a wine enthusiast so that might be why-- don't expect to find any high-end bottles on the list. Service was fine, no complaints but nothing special either. read more
