Scali Ristorante & Deli

Restaurant; at the end of a strip mall right off 256, restaurant is tucked in there. I had heard about the restaurant several times since moving to Columbus, big group came for a Birthday celebration and everyone was amazing. Food; the table order a ton of Appetizers and they were all very good bruschetta, shrimp and stuffed mushrooms were my favorites. The dinner; my order was pollo rosamarini was very good, I can't wait to go back. Wine; the table ordered tons of wine and everyone loved them all. Service; Everyone was great and patient with such a large group.

Delicious food and extremely attentive service! Small family location giving the right vibe. I would definitely recommend! I also love their only open certain hours, smaller menu so you can enjoy authenticity in the flavor!

Food was great. Service was tops. Main dining room was close quarters , loud and tight. Side room was nice, quiet and pleasant.

We held my daughter's birthday party at Lower Scali's, and it was completely amazing. The service was excellent, the food was beyond our wildest dreams - especially the chicken marsala and the meatballs. The servings are generous, and the staff is very professional and attentive. I would definitely recommend anyone to go there if you want an outstanding authentic Italian meal.

Scali is a solid choice and a local gem in Pickerington/Reynoldsburg. Service is always great and the food is always top notch. I highly recommend you giving them a try if in the area.

The food was delicious and the house made cannolis and tiramisu was amazing. We went on a Wednesday night and had reservations and the restaurant was packed. The service is just as amazing as the food and we will definitely be going back soon.

Scali's has been a family favorite for 25 years and where we have celebrated many special occasions along with just a great option for a night out either dine in or carry out. Frank and Judy treat their customers like family and are always happy to see you. We lost my mother a year ago to COVID and have not been back just simply due to the memories. While they are wonderful memories, it has been a painful and traumatic loss for us. My daughter and I decided it was time to move beyond our grief and start enjoying the places we loved again and of course this is the first place we started. First, no matter your server, they are all fantastic. This is a group of people who love what they do and treat customers just as well as Frank and Judy! As expected, the food did not disappoint. We always start with the Prosciutto and Asiago appetizer which is beautifully done in a delicious sauce with roasted red peppers, thinly sliced garlic, and Kalamata olives. It is also the best dish for their delicious bread, dipping is a must! My daughter had the Chicken Marsala and pasta with cream sauce. The Marsala sauce is the best I have ever had and it comes topped with beautiful sautéed mushrooms aplenty! I had the gnocchi with cream sauce. While this may sound basic, that is what makes it so good. The cream sauce is thick and perfectly coats the little pillows of heaven. A must have meatball to share rounds out the meal. Thank you Frank and Judy for all of the wonderful memories, food, and atmosphere over the years.

Fabulous find! The food was spectacular and the service was phenomenal! We will definitely be back.

Been going for 39 years and only once did I send anything back. Soup that I wanted hitterService is impeccable. The specials are what I usually get in weekend visits. Fridays during lent bring a special fish dish. This weekend it was the absolute best scallops I've ever had .

This was our first time eating at Scali's and our meal was very good , I had Vitello Marsala and my wife had spaghetti with meatballs and both were excellent. We started with bruschetta and it was good but very simple, diced tomatoes a little seasoning and toast, the wife and I are used to balsamic and cheese, just dressed up more. The service was good but we were seated and the waiter brought us bread and no oil or butter and didn't offer anything. So when the meal came we asked for oil and they brought it in a plastic container with a lid which eating at an authentic Italian restaurant we expected oil and seasoning at the table. The ambience of the restaurant were good , memorabilia of old nicely done, it's a quaint hidden gem, the ceiling tiles are of desperate need of replacing with water stains and looks very original to an older building. We will definitely go back even with the short comings the food alone will bring us back.
