A familiar name is making a comeback in Columbus: Marino’s Seafood is officially reopening, stepping back into the local dining scene decades after its original heyday. Hopes had been high for an Arthur Treacher’s revival at the Westerville location, but with those plans scrapped, Marino’s is reclaiming the space—and its place in the hearts of Central Ohio seafood lovers.
Set to open at 1216 W 5th Ave, Marino’s aims to bring back the old-school charm that made it a community favorite for years. The revival comes with a fresh coat of paint and modern updates, but the spirit of the original remains intact. From the branding to the menu, Marino’s is leaning into its legacy, offering a taste of nostalgia with a side of renewed energy.
For those who grew up on Marino’s or are simply in search of no-fuss, reliably good seafood, this reopening is more than just another restaurant launch, it’s the return of a local icon. And in a city that’s constantly evolving, sometimes the most exciting thing is seeing a familiar favorite come back home.
