Moretti's Of Arlington - Upper Arlington, Ohio

Happy to have found Moretti’s as we were looking for a non-chain Italian eatery while in the Upper Arlington area. The food portions were very large, and delicious. There were 2 of us, and we ordered 1 side salad that our waitress split for us, and each of us ordered an entree. Both of us brought half of our entree home. It was a lot of food. Definitely delicious, but a little more pricey than we usually prefer for our girls day out. Table setting and dishes were lovely, staff was friendly and helpful. Would go again if ever in the area!

Moretti’s Italian Place is a hidden gem that effortlessly combines authentic Italian flavors with a warm and inviting atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and a cozy ambiance that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

The meal began with the Four Cheese Arancini, which were absolutely divine. Each bite of these crispy, golden spheres revealed a rich, creamy blend of cheeses that melted in my mouth. They were perfectly paired with a tangy marinara sauce that balanced the richness beautifully.

For the main course, I enjoyed the Fettuccine Primavera and the Pistachio Pesto. The Fettuccine Primavera was a celebration of freshness—vibrant, perfectly cooked vegetables tossed in a delicate sauce that didn’t overpower but instead complemented the pasta. The Pistachio Pesto was a standout dish, offering a unique twist on a classic. The nutty, earthy flavors of the pistachio combined with the fresh basil created a bold, aromatic sauce that clung to the pasta like a dream.

The cocktails were the cherry on top. Creative, well-balanced, and expertly crafted, they elevated the entire meal. The bartender clearly knows their craft, as the drinks not only complemented the food but also stood out on their own as flavorful and refreshing.

Moretti’s strikes the perfect balance between traditional and innovative. Whether you’re a longtime lover of Italian cuisine or just exploring, this is a must-visit destination. I’ll absolutely be back to explore more of their exceptional menu!

My family met here to celebrate a nice Easter dinner (on a weekday we were all available). I had the pistachio salmon, it was delicious 😋 my mother in law enjoyed the Walleye Piccata. I added jumbo shrimp with a side of marinara sauce. Their shrimp appetizer was REALLY good. I was a little disappointed it only came with 3 jumbo shrimp (we had 4 people) but it came on bread covered in a really tasty sauce with tomato’s and mushrooms too, all combined it was more filling. Their bread and butter is the best. The butter is seasoned and has a garlic taste. The bread is fresh and warm. Somehow they made the cheesecake lighter, it didn’t sit heavy in my stomach. This is high quality, tasty homemade meals. I like they try to use fresh Ohio ingredients. We need to support local businesses. It has a great atmosphere, top quality service. I can’t wait to eat out on the patio this summer. My in laws enjoy the Chianti (a dry wine) wine. My husband and I got the Rocim red blend (a sweetener wine).

Wow. This is a great Italian restaurant with a hip yet comfortable atmosphere. The service was perfect and the food came out hot and fresh. The eggplant appetizer was my favorite of the evening but I also enjoyed the arancini and the bacon gorgonzola salad was delish. Other dishes we had were the chicken carbonara and the chicken moretti. Both were reported to be very tasty. We ended with the tiramisu and it was the perfect ending to a great meal. This is a definite new addition to the rotation.

We came here for restaurant week with some friends and I’d never been to this shopping center before. The restaurant is set back from the parking lot and has a nice outdoor patio and some indoor seating. Overall I thought the atmosphere was nice and there was some bustling for restaurant week going about.

We got the fixed menu which they changed from what had been advertised earlier.

The food was OK. Not horrible but not amazing. I started with the gazpacho which was well seasoned and the croutons on top were a nice addition with a good crunch. Then I got the Cacio e Pepe which was a bit non traditional with a noodle I’m less familiar with. The dish was described as having a sausage crumble but instead large chunks of sausage was scattered on top. The pasta was severely overcooked.

The chocolate cake at the end was actually my favorite but my partner thought it was overly sweet. I thought it hit the right spot though.

Now the real lousy part of the evening was the service. Our server was not very personable and not very assertive and slow. She did not clear the dishes between courses from our table which just accumulated and she couldn’t remember who ordered what- they may have been busier than usual but they weren’t that busy.

Very pleased with the service me & my family received. They upgraded us to an igloo outside due to our party not fitting at any table inside at the moment. They made sure the heaters were on and it was warm before going in. The kitchen was very busy, the wait was no problem, they gave us a complimentary dessert due to this which was more than appreciated. My food was remade due to a request I made but they caused no fuss over this & I was happy. Our server Erica was wonderful, so were the hostess that accommodated us with the igloo. I highly recommend and would love to come back.

I've never eaten here, but was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, and the service was friendly and very accommodating. We sat out at the patio and it wasn't crowded out there or noisy, like it was inside. The only reason for four stars is that I think for the price of the entrees, at least a small salad should be included, not ala carte and another charge. Otherwise, very pleased.
