SO GOOD! I haven't been here in probably 20 years as my office is up the street and it was a go-to for dinner colleagues when they were in town. Met up with Dad last night and it was amazing:Pros:- Food is incredible from start to finish. App fettuccine Alfredo (reason why I chose this establishment let's face it) and crab cake. - Dinner chicken garlic, shrimp garlic and salmon. All of us took more than half of our plate home the portions are HUGE and so good!- Server was awesome. She was on it and very friendly, very professional, a natural managing multiple tables at diff stages of their night out. Just impressive.- Restaurant was super clean and HOPPING at 6 pm on a Saturday. Please do not just show up - secure reservations!-Super casual place. We were dressed up though we saw others in OSU gear and it was nice to see it super chill. Cons:- Not their fault but the parking is a little busy so plan ahead and understand it may take a minute to get situated- Just my opinion, I'm a die-hard for Open Table or other reservation sites to secure a table as it just makes sense for me. Here, you will need to call and make a reservation with the restaurant. Upside is it keeps the human touch involved which is nice. I would go back again in a heartbeat. Secure a seat at the bar and split an app with my husband as the portions were so huge and so good. This will keep us coming back again and again. Love Morettis!

Had dinner here with a friend the other night. It's been along time since I been here and the food is as good as ever . It's a small place and the tables are alittle crowded , I had the chicken Marsala that came with a side of pasta and red sauce. That was a large serving of pasta and I brought it home for another meal . Bridget our server did a good job of checking on us . This place has been around forever . They do charge an extra 3 percent for using your credit card

There is a reason why this place has had a long-standing reputation by people in the know (ahem, true Italians) as being an authentic and consistent Italian restaurant in the northwest area. It's located in a small strip mall across the street from Sam's Club on sawmill. For as long as I have lived in Columbus, it's been there. It's a small restaurant, with a bar area equivalent in size to its main dining area. This explains why getting a reservation here is hard. I also noticed during my dining that there were regulars. Those regulars also had their long-standing reservations at tables. I can see how someone could eat here weekly as long as their waistline and metabolism cooperate lol. The portion size are humongous. I had enough leftover for both a lunch and dinner the day after. For starters, their bread and butter were delicious. The butter had diced onions in it with a lot of garlic. If you're not a fan of onions or garlic, this might not be your thing. In truth, it was a little overpowering for us ladies, but admittedly delicious. The bread was fabulous and lives up to the hype. A surprisingly hearty and delicious wedding soup came with my meal. Honestly, the bowl was so big it could've been my meal! The pastas were all handmade. That makes all the difference. Everything was very flavorful, came out hot, and very fresh. My friend pasta Primavera came out with beautiful, colorful vegetables aplenty. My chicken Moretti was fabulous and in my opinion, a must order! Unfortunately, we were also full. We didn't try their desserts, but I'm sure they were delicious. I saw a few tables that had ordered some. Everyone at my table was also satisfied with the wine choices. This would be a nice family dinner restaurant if you're ever craving a satisfyingly hearty true Italian meal.

We take home from Moretti's on a regular basis. It is always delicious. Our favorite is... everything. Even the bread and salad are exceptional. The homemade pasta is top notch. Recently the lasagna, manicotti, chicken parm and ravioli have made their way to our kitchen. Highly recommend!!

Love Morettis! This time I tried the pizza (they are really known for their pastas and make a very limited amount of crust every day. When they are out, they are out.). Pep with half sausage & a lovely Chardonnay. Barbie & Jenn at the bar provide perfect service! When you've been here once you're family.Moretti's Sawmill Road...most everything is house made!For anyone that's curious about that chronically asked question of "Which Columbus restaurant/pizza place has the best crumbled sausage", I'd emphatically direct you to go here.The crustIt's uniquely indigenous to this restaurant. Light, crunchy, deliciously oily, airy, fantasic crumb on the handle and house made every day. It would earn the title of artisan(which is exhaustively overused at so many other places without merit).Good, golden brown undercarriage with nice crisp finish.The sauceHandmade by Tommy Moretti every day with just the right amount of spices to accentuate but not overwhelm. Savory, not sweet at all.The toppingsGood pepperoni, kind of mild, not charred and cupped ezzo(which i do love) but reminded me of the dried sausage/salami you'd get in Italy.House made sausage I can see why they showcase so many dishes with their crumbled sausage. Amazing seasonings and browned with copious amounts of it.In my opinion, the best sausage in Columbus!Great house made bread and delicious whipped garlic butter. A casually elegant atmosphere where you could dress up and bring your favorite partner for a date night or come with friends or solo in jeans.

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. This was our first visit to moretti's. While driving and we saw people sprinting to the front door so we were joking around boy. This must be the hotspot. But as soon as we walked in, we realize they were already almost full, and that was a half an hour after opening. We were told that we could sit at the bar because they didn't have an opening until 730 at night. We were super impressed as soon as we sat down. The women behind the bar greeted us with smiles and recommendations. Homemade huge loaf of bread was set down with this amazing shallot/garlic herb butter. We ordered crumbled sausage app and didn't realize it was on pasta. It was delicious. Then came side salad with a homemade white balsamic vinaigrette, which was a little bit unusual seeing as it had pasta and green beans on top, but it was really good. My boyfriend got the homemade Italian wedding soup, which was also very good. Now on to the entrees. I ordered the chicken moretti with homemade fettuccine Alfredo and my boyfriend ordered chicken parm. Portions are insane and food was some on the best I've ever had. Everything is homemade from bread you start with to the homemade snickers cheesecake I took home. Will definitely be back. Restaurant was so cozy and it felt like you kinda knew everybody there. My only suggestion would be to make a reservation.

Wonderful!! If you're lucky enough to have Karen as your server she is so kind and efficient! All of our meals couldn't have been better. Best pasta. Ever!! It's a tight fit in the dinning room but they seem to make it work. Food worth the smaller space. Bread and better is amazing as well!!

Our first visit and definitely will not be back- too many negatives:Waited 10 minutes for the hostess to show up- why? She was in the kitchen getting a take out order ready- short on staff? An over crowded dining room that was small and confining- our table was so small that the large bread basket took about a quarter of the space. Speaking of the bread- yes it is home made BUT it was cold and in no way resembled warm crusty Italian bread that a good Italian restaurant serves. The salad was an adventure- you have to pick at it to find the lettuce with all the other items they have mixed in. My Chicken Parmesan was good but the pasta was lukewarm and I was not ready for the unusual spicy kick of the tomato sauce. My wife had the ravioli and meatballs which she found good but not exceptional. Best part of the meal was the tiramisu- exceptional.
