LoHi lands a new Italian restaurant with the opening of Marcella’s Ristorante, Pizzeria & Wine Bar. The 152-seat restaurant features room for another 40 on the patio. Customers can receive a voucher for free valet parking starting at 5 p.m. or pay $7 without validation. The restaurant gets its name from a house manager and cook at a villa in Tuscany, Italy, that founder Cameron Mitchell visited with his family.

Executive chef Jacob Glowacki worked at several Cameron Mitchell Restaurants including Cap City Fine Diner & Bar in Gahanna, Ohio, and Marcella’s Polaris and Marcella’s Short North, all located in Columbus, Ohio. The menu features dishes such as a braised veal meatball with tomato sauce; a melted pecorino with crostini, apple and truffle honey; a Margherita D.O.C. pizza; lasagne alla Bolognese with a sausage ragu and marinara; chicken marsala; and a chocolate almond cake.
