We were at Marcella on Sunday night & loved the restaurant & the food & the staff & the wine & pretty much everything about it. I had the Osso buco - it was superb! We could not have had a better dining experience in Old Montreal!

Excelente atención y alegría en quienes nos atendieron. Decoración muy bella, luces tenues para una cena de encanto. La comida es simplemente espectacular, sobre todo para los días de frío recorriendo Montreal. Definitivamente volveremos!! Gracias Sandy por hacernos sentir en casa!.

Such a cozy little spot. Ordered Negronis which were some of the best I've had. We sat at the bar because there was no more seating however I prefer that when the bartenders are as nice as ours was (Irishman). Food was lovely (the bruschetta gets an A from me) & recommendations were thoughtful. Nice ambience for a date. Would go back next time I'm in Montreal!

5/5 for everything!! The entire vibe, location & decor is beautiful. Washrooms were very clean & the seating is spacious. The service from Sandy was outstanding. She was friendly, knowledgeable of the menu & always checking up on us. She went out of her way to also sanitize the counter in the washroom for us to change our babies diaper. Some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. The food was fantastic, you can tell fresh ingredients were used, everything came out so hot but the wait times were not long. Our group had a large variety of the dishes & everyone was so happy with their meal. Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone & everyone. We'll 100% be back when in Montreal.
