Very disappointed w our food Monday eve. I had ravioli w meat sauce- the ravioli were undercooked and very doughy. I could not eat them- I enjoyed the ricotta spinach filling but the pasta was inedible. My wife who is not very critical also agreed w me. Secondly, the sauce was spicy and we were not forewarned about it. It seems many Italian restaurants do this to alter the true sauce flavor. Thirdly, there was enough sauce on each plate for 10 people. That's not good in my opinion. Fourthly, they have no Caesar salad and their regular salad has pasta in it. Too much for a salad. My last point is the bread they serve is too plentiful for 2 people- what a waste. I am a NYer and cannot find a decent Italian meal in Columbus Sorry- I was hoping for a better experience read more

I recently went to Moretti's on Sawmill for the first time. I had the chicken parmigiana and it came with your choice of soup or salad and a big loaf of freshly baked bread. The food was out of this world. My server checked in on me often. The tables in the dining room were a bit cramped but not all of them were occupied when I went. I happened to go on a Monday which is $4 off chicken dishes. Moretti's isn't the cheapest restaurant but this helped and it was well worth the quality in my opinion. read more

Well second try on our trip to Ohio. It wasn't great. The service went from okay to what happened to our waitress? The food? The salad was super weird. There were random pieces of different types of pasta on the salad. It added nothing to the flavor or texture so why? It looked like an accident and it's not Italian. The food is BURIED in sauce. The bread on the table was ice cold. While it tasted fairly good, how nice would it be if the temp wasn't "This was taken out of the freezer today and it is JUST thawed." The waitress told my husband the Italian sausage was spicy. He was excited about that. It wasn't at all, but it was good. The worst was the ambiance. Really it was bad. The entry has like two bars side by side. The colors are broody in a bad way. The other side where the majority of the table are has the kitchen entrance smack in the middle and it is unpleasant. So the table we sat at had two views; a metal roll down door and the kitchen entrance. So the food was a B-, the ambiance a D. Everyone was friendly. We were hoping for better. read more

Came with a friend at around 8 pm on a weekday. We waited a little bit to be seated. The restaurant is small and intimate and I'm not sure I would recommend it for large parties without prior reservation. We were seated at a small two person booth but it worked out enough for us. I had a soup and my friend had a salad to start with, and then we each had a different pasta for our entree. The portions are large, the waitress was friendly, and we did not wait long for the food. We couldn't finish our pasta and got take-out boxes and also did not go for dessert. You could easily share an entree with a friend, but everything tasted really good so sharing would entail missing out on trying another entree! I think each day has a different special, and the day we went (Monday? Tuesday?) had a special on the chicken items on the menu. Would definitely be back and think it's a great traditional date place, too! read more

What can I say! Been going to Moretti's for over 30 years. Best kept secret in Columbus but I've noticed a huge up-tick in reservations. Fabulous food! My favorites; Walleye Moretti, anything with their incredible Moretti sausage...the Roasted Peppers with extra garlic and add mushrooms is to die for add a nice Cab to toast to this extraordinary restaurant completes the evening! Five in my books. Best, Mark V read more

Fantastic service and delicious traditional Italian cuisine. Absolutely everything was impressive. The freshness of the pasta and savory sauces still linger in my memory. Best authentic Italian experience I've had in Columbus. read more

Moretti's of Arlington is easily my favorite Italian restaurant in Columbus. It seems that this Moretti's on Sawmill seems to get an even better review online, so I was super excited to dine at this Moretti's. The first time we tried to dine here, it was on a Saturday and they were completely booked for the night so we weren't even given the option of waiting for a seat. Fair enough. The second time, we called ahead of time for a reservation and was able to snag a seat. My first impression was that this place is smaller and more cramped than the one in Upper Arlington. No wonder we needed to call ahead for seats! We ordered The Italian Plate (which is basically a huge sampler plate w/ spaghetti, ravioli, chicken parm, Italian sausage, etc.) and their sausage pizza. The Italian Plate was just as good here as it is at the Upper Arlington location... but their pizza crust was thicker and less crispy here. They also didn't have the Angry Italian pizza on their menu, which is my favorite pizza at the UA location. I do wish that they offered the same menu choices between the two locations. The service was good, and overall, we had a good experience. The third and most recent time we tried to dine here (which I believe was 8/3/17), I tried calling throughout the day for a reservation but couldn't get through. It was a Thursdays so we thought maybe we can just walk in and get a seat since the phone wasn't working... then it turned out they were closed that entire week for renovation according to a piece of paper on the front door. They could've left a message on their phone or website... So yeah, even though I love the food at Moretti's, trying to dine here seems to be a lot of hassle. If you were to ask me, I would recommend the Upper Arlington Moretti's over the Dublin Moretti's. read more

Everything is delicious. Consistently good comfort food. You're not going to find lite options here. Everything is heavy and rich and you leave full and happy. All the long noodle pastas are house made. Others are a high quality dried Italian noodle. Faves are the lasagna with pesto and sausage, margarita flatbread, fettuccini alfredo, petit filet, eggplant appetizer, house salad (it has green beans and cold pasta in it - so good!). Several small plate options. They also serve a house bread and a wonderful garlicky oniony butter to go with it. Tip: if you get takeout (they package everything really well) heat up the loaf of bread so the butter gets all melty on it. read more

My husband and I just had an amazing dinner. The bread and butter to start were wonderful and we ordered meatballs for our appetizer. For entrees I had the Veal Francaise and he ordered the Walleye special. The food and service were exceptional and we had plenty to take home for leftovers. Great ambiance for a romantic date night! read more

The BEST Italian food that tastes like it came from your grandma's kitchen in Columbus. I must say that I have only ever had Moretti's take out, but it is absolutely excellent. The Spinach Noodle Lasagna and Chicken Moretti are must-gets. You won't be disappointed! read more

OMG. This place is the bomb.com. It was my first time eating here. Make sure you make a reservation. I went on a Wednesday evening and it was packed. They do a great job of managing the wait list. The food amazing. Everything I had was wonderful fresh and homemade. This is an authentic Italian restaurant. To look at it from the outside it's in a little strip mall. Don't let the strip mall fool you. This is the place to eat. The chicken Moretti is a must have. Fresh pasta perfectly cooked chicken with a cream saic read more

We get Moretti's monthly and it has NEVER disappointed! I get the shrimp and sausage with homemade noodles and my wife alternates between the chicken Moretti and chicken Parm. They make their noodles and sausage from scratch daily and the quality, taste, and texture are incredible! The chicken is THE most tender chicken I have ever had too. read more

The "Let's Go Brandon" flag hanging above the grill indicates to me that the owners/managers of this place are clearly mentally ill. I genuinely feel bad for them. To feel the need to fly that flag in the face of your patrons shows a complete disrespect for fellow man. And i assume they're not very intelligent people. But... that being said, not everybody is perfect. But their food is pretty darn close. So damn tasty. read more

I've heard from several people about how good the food is at Morettis and finally got a chance to try. We went on a busy Friday night and they stuck us at a two top table that was basically in a hallway between the dining room, kitchen and bar area. The tiny table and poor location was really disappointing. Our server, DJ, came over and she was so pleasant and helpful, that really lightened the mood. We ordered a bottle of red wine ($35) and the sausage appetizer. Be aware the sausage appetizer takes about 20 minutes to prepare. It's a couple of housemade links sauteed with onion and peppers. Apparently they've been making this recipe since 1969. It was SO good. Spicy and flavorful and juicy and delicious. The meals come with a choice of salad or soup of the day. We both chose the Italian wedding soup. Also, delicious. Lots of huge chunks of vegetables, really flavorful broth, just enough pasta and meatballs and chicken. I was full already at this point. I should add they bring out a loaf of bread the size of your head with seasoned butter. The crust was crunchy and the inside was soft and airy and amazing. I think another review compared it to wonder bread...you crazy! My friend ordered the special. It was a scallop dish with bacon over pasta. The scallops were cooked prefectly. And I can't say enough about the pasta which was fettuccine. All the pasta (except the penne) are homemade and you can tell, perfect consistency, perfect flavor and just the right amount of Al dente. He loved it! I ordered veal moretti which was two giant cutlets on top of the fettuccine with an amazing cream sauce. TO. DIE. FOR. The breaded veal was crispy on the outside and so tender on the inside. Even reheated the following day which I had to do because the portion is gigantic. I would highly recommend this dish. Aside from the crappy table we were at, I can't say enough about how good the food and the service was at Morettis. Yum... can't wait to go back. read more

Yummmmmmmmmmmm. I have lived in Columbus for over 15 years and had never tried Moretti's. We got the sausage pizza, seafood chowder, chicken moretti, and veal parmigiana. All of it was completely decadent and perfectly prepared. Despite the thick crust, the pizza was actually light and just that right combo of crispy and chewy. The portions were massive and everything was very reasonably priced. Our server was excellent, super sweet and helpful. She even packaged up an entire loaf of bread and plenty of butter to go with our leftovers. The food is definitely rich and I did find myself wishing I had a vegetable or something acidic to break up the richness, but that's on me for not ordering the salad as a side. We will absolutely be back! read more

Consistently delicious food. We have picked up their family of 4 to-go meals for years. But we exclusively order from the Upper Arlington location now because the hostess in Dublin is ridiculously rude. It's been a trend for a very long time and many times I overlooked it, as people are allowed to have bad days, but apparently no one has checked her because her poor attitude has only worsened. Management should have a serious ultimatum with her because it the first thing mentioned when anyone discusses this Moretti's location. read more

Wow this place is amazing! For a night with my wine girls we chose Moretti's. I was here some 25 + years ago with hubby. Was good then and great now. My mom and I both had the Veal Marsala and wedding soup. We should have just shared, so much food. But was delicious. Great service. Will definitely be going back. Oh - decent wine list as well. read more

Morettis - Veal Parmesan Chicken Parmesan - Italian Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

Food is pretty solid. I called in an order tonight for pickup and was chastised for the order in which I listed off what I wanted! The person working here was peeved that I went from ordering entrees to appetizers to salads. I'm sorry I've never ordered from you before, so this left a very bad taste in my mouth. The attitude I encountered was unbelievable. I was ordering for a whole family and didn't know that certain entrees came with sides. Very off putting experience that I haven't experienced anywhere in quite a while. Don't be rude to customers who are just trying to order food. And better yet, allow us to order online so we don't have to talk to staff there! read more

We ordered take out from here Saturday night after living in Brookside Woods for almost a year, and man were we vindicated! First so you know I ordered the Veal Franchise just from a pic on here someone posted. I didn't look at the ingredients or anything, that picture of it just pulled me in, Ana j wasn't disappointed! The sauce, OMG! I have to go read the menu still to find out what I ate. My girlfriend had the veal lasagne, she loved it! Can't wait for us to dine in, the ambiance looked real fun and vibrant in there. read more

The pasta and meatballs was excellent! Also got the chicken salad and chicken parm dishes both of which were very good. Portion sizes were spot on and prices are reasonable especially when considering the pasta is homemade. Will definitely order from here again. Also, compared to the morettis in Upper Arlington, this one is much better. read more

Went there with my girlfriend for a date night. We're both pretty broke since we're in college but morettis gives that sort of fancy atmosphere without spending $50 a plate. Almost all of the waitresses complimented my girl's dress as well which really meant a lot to her :) read more

THE BEST AND MOST AUTHENTIC ITALIAN IN CENTRAL OHIO. First, I am more Italian than anything else. My great grandparents came to the U.S. on a boat from Italy. I have dined here more than 50 times. I always get the same thing - the cheapest thing on the menu - homemade pasta, homemade marinara sauce and homemade meatballs. Sometimes I go wild and add sautéed mushrooms too. I'm not cheap - it's just that Tommy's spaghetti and sauce and meatballs are the most perfect food you'll ever eat. There is nothing better. It's exactly like my dear, saintly grandmother (who grew up in an Italian speaking household) made from scratch. Nice bar and wine selection. Great bread and butter. Great salad or soup, which is included with the meal. Tons of other delicious entrees. Yummy desserts. A simple, great Italian restaurant. Oh, if you can handle the fat grams and cholesterol, get the crumbled sausage & peppers in cream sauce. OMG, trust me... IMPORTANT - Moretti's on Sawmill is a very different and MUCH better Italian restaurant than Moretti's of Arlington. Sawmill is better, Arlington is worse. Drive past Moretti's of Arlington to get to Moretti's on Sawmill. You'll thank me... read more

Love the food. Very large portions so be ready to share or have another meal at home. The scallion butter is delicious on the fresh bread.

This by far is the most authentic most flavorful Italian in Columbus OH. Super fresh everything made to order.

Oh and it's a neighborhood favorite so order take out or call for reservations! read more

Delicious food and a very friendly staff. Pasta is made fresh every morning, can't find that many places anymore!

Diamond in the rough! Our favorite place to go. Intimate, amazing service, AMAZING food and you can't beat the price! The Crumble-nothing like it in any restaurant I've found in Central Ohio. Not a fancy restaurant but hits all the targets we are looking for! read more

My favorite Italian place in the area and it's not all that close. Pasta is made fresh in-house, and my favorite dish is the Chicken Moretti. The sauce is amazing and the dish is very filling, so feel free to share if not that hungry (although it's so good you won't want to share). If you are a mushroom person, get extra mushrooms as they use fresh, thicker cut mushrooms. Their salad is different from a basic salad with green beans and Gorgonzola in it, so great! read more

My absolute favorite & go to in Columbus. Veal Morretti & a small pizza as an appetizer... don't get much better than that !

Fantastic food and service. Real Italian food and recipes. Have never had a bad meal.

Wow! Best carryout that we've had since this whole covid-19 thing started. For 3 of us we got 3 salads, a couple of appetizers and 3 entrees. Everything was perfect. Entrees were a lot of food. We had leftovers. Eggplant parm Lasagna Shrimp and Sausage pasta All highly recommended. The only difficult part was getting through by phone to place the order. It rang busy probably 20 times before I got through. 45 minutes later the food was hot and ready exactly as promised. Edit to add: Ordered carry out again this past Friday evening. Once again, it was perfect. This place knows what it's doing. read more

Moretti's on Sawmill never disappoints. It is my absolute favorite Italian dining in Columbus. Their food is beyond reproach. Dining in is a little tight as the room is small, but they pack ''em in comfortably. If it's busy, just carry out. I need to branch out on what I order, I always get the manicotti. The ricotta cheese is so delectable, it makes me wonder if they make it in-house. The casserole is baked and adorned with browned and bubbly melted cheese And the sauce, oooo so yummy. There are three tubes of manicotti included, but after the salad and bread, I usually go home with two. The dish comes with an interesting salad. The house dressing should not be missed. But let's talk about the bread and butter. OMG, it's fabulous!! Nothing compares anywhere. The infamous flavored butter slathered on the freshly made bread is really just beyond. If I wasn't too embarrassed to just order bread and butter, I would. It's really all you need. However, everything else is really too delicious to pass up. The husband orders the sausage and peppers app and a salad. He uses the lovely bread to make a sandwich and he's in heaven. This Italian boy likes him a sausage and peppers sangwich, even if he does create it himself. I have been partaking in Moretti's deliciousness since it was a tiny carry out space in Grandview with a couple of chairs. It was spectacular then and it is still spectacular thirty years later. The Tremont location in UA does their own thing and it is wonderful. My preference will always be the Sawmill fare. One recommendation from a longtime fan, wear your stretchy pants. You're going to need them. read more

Best Italian food out there!!!! I call the chef 2 meal Tony because you will definitely have enough food left over for the next day. My fav is the pasta primavera with egg noodle and cream sauce.... Heavenly! I also love the the lasagna. Doesn't matter what you order, it's all top notch! read more

In my opinion their food can't be beat. You can almost pick anything on their menu and it will be delicious. They also have weeknight reduced price specials. Same excellent taste, just less expensive. We're mostly take out customers, but I understand they recently redid their dining areas. read more

The food is delicious! It's ery rich and filling. Prepare to come hungry and leave full!

Let's start with the atmosphere, it's very nice place and the crowd ranges from young to older. It has a mom and pop feel and you can be casual or dress up. The food and wine are very good. They start you off with garlic, herb butter and fresh bread; fantastic. I would recommend the veal meat balls as an appetizer. I had a special; chicken and house made sausage with red peppers and onions over fettuccine Alfredo with a white cream sauce; very, very good. My wife had the chicken fettuccine Alfredo; very similar to my dish and just as good. Several of the dinners come with salad or soup and are easily shareable. This will become a regular rotation for us and is one of better Italian restaurants in the Columbus area. Make sure you book a reservation or you could eat and drink at the bar. The service was great and they are super nice. read more

This is the best Italian restaurant by far! You just can't beat the flavorings of the meat sauce and tomato (marina) sauce..Nothing comes close. Pasta, sauces, Italian sausage and bread made in house. Best wedding soup, house salad and bread/butter. Big portions, too! Everything is a step above! read more

I have been going there for years. The last time I went, they were so packed that I was practically sitting with the people at the next table and I did hear the waitress say at one point "I can get through". When I got my credit card receipt they had added a 3% credit card transaction fee. So on top of the tip and the meal, they charged me more. What's the mark up on food? read more
