This place was amaaaaazinggggg I am craving ittt. We got the ossobuco di vitello as a main, the zucchini & the focaccia. Everything was shared. It wasn't too filling but it was sooo flavourful & like even the zucchini was amazing & well seasoned.

We had a wonderful dinner at Dinette Marcella. The service was excellent, the mock tails (we didn't feel like drinking) were super tasty, & the food was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend the calamari & the pesto. The chicken limone was also very good.
