- HHannahGoldColumbus •4 reviews5.0Dined on 29 Oct 2026Gwyneth was outstanding! Attentive, knowledgeable, great conversation, authentic, and I never questioned if she took my celiac disease seriously (a big deal for me since restaurants can be hit or miss with gluten allergies). We love the gf chicken parm, and we tried the burrata for the first time and loved it. We love the extensive list of Italian red wines by the glass too. When we arrived for our reservation, we asked if Jacob was working (he was our server in the past and we really liked him and the experience he provided), but the host hit us with a quick, short, “no.” before taking us to our table. Would’ve been no problem, except he came up to our table later to say hello! Felt a little odd and off putting by the host to lie to us like that, maybe she was just having a bad night? It wasn’t busy at this point either but oh well. Gwyneth was fabulous, and it was nice to get to chat with Jacob for a short while as well! Hopefully next time we can request and sit in Gwyneth or Jacob’s sections - and you should too, honestly. 10/10 experience both times. They both make me feel safe going out to eat which is so difficult to do given my allergies. Thank you!More infoMarcella's - Short North$$$$• Italian• Short North - Arena District•4.8
