The atmosphere is great - cute spot! The mozza sticks & carbonara were delicious!

Food here was really good but the star of the night was the customer service. The entire crew was absolutely amazing. Our server Sandy was especially an exceptional person. Would definitely recommend for a nice casual dinner in Montreal with great food & good service.

Excellente cuisine italienne. De très bons (vrais) produits, qui justifient le prix élevé :)
Service impeccable, souriant & efficace
Merci pour ce bon moment !

Prices are high, & the quality is basic typical Old Montreal standard.

I definitely do not recommend it disrespectful establishment.

Great vibe, music & decor! We had the gnocchi & ravioli for our entrees, & we enjoyed these. Highly recommend starting with the arancino - was the best we've ever had! My only complaint was that there was no air conditioning & we went on a super-hot night, so it wasn't a comfortable dining experience. Other than that, I would definitely recommend.

Our Six visit to Dinette Marcella in the last 3 years. Without question a hidden gem in the heart of Old Montreal. From our server Sandy to Freddy the Maitre D everything was tremendous. We will continue to return as they never disappoint. Thanks to the staff for looking after all our needs. Cheers from New Brunswick 👍

Dinette Marcella is without a doubt our favorite spot in Montreal. The food is delicious, the drinks are excellent, & the elegant decor creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. My wife & I shared the tortellini & the New York steak, & we couldn't have been happier with our choices. If you're lucky enough to see veal steak on the menu, order it! It's a real treat. Our server Sandy was friendly, attentive, & professional, making our meal even more enjoyable. We always leave already planning our next visit!

We had a great meal at dinette Marcella. Everything was delicious - we had the Calamari, focaccia, cacio e pepe ravioli & the tortellini. For dessert, the pistachio cheesecake is incredible. Make sure to book a reservation- our reservation was at 9pm on a Sunday & it was busy. Service was a little slow at times but not horrible.

Best Caesar Salad I've ever had! Calamari was also perfectly cooked & the service was great! Would come
again!

Nous sommes allés manger chez Dinette Marcella pour mon anniversaire & c'était vraiment super.
La nourriture était excellente, le restaurant à l'intérieur est vraiment cute & il y avait une belle ambiance.
La seule chose que nous avons moins aimé est la vitesse à laquelle nous avons reçu nos assiettes. Nous avons commandé & littéralement 5min plus tard nous avions nos assiettes. C'est vraiment trop rapide. Quand nous allons au resto, nous apprécions prendre le temps de discuter un peu avant de manger, prendre un verre & profiter de l'ambiance en général. Là, c'était un peu précipité & ça nous a surpris de manger aussi tôt en arrivant. Prochaine fois, nous demanderons au moins un 20min avant d'avoir les assiettes.
Ça a coûté environ 110$ pour deux assiettes & deux drinks. Nous n'avons pas pris d'entrées.
Nous allons certainement y retourner!

Excelente comida e atendimento.
Maravilhoso cheesecake de Pistache.
Alex
Music is way too loud. Some dishes are very good, som like carbonara should not be on menu at all. It wasn't a carbonara as people usually know it. Just dry pasta with egg & cheese.
Morgan
Food was amazing! The arancini was very good, would recommend. I got the gluten free pasta & as a celiac I appreciated having the option of gluten free pasta, however it was a bit pricey making it $5 extra. We sat in the corner & the seat itself was comfortable & nice, but extremely hot. Made us feel very tired. Our server was phenomenal & gave us some recommendations on places to go around Montreal! Would recommend this place to a friend!

Le restaurant est vraiment joli, esprit Lounge. Les cocktails étaient très bons (notamment le Negroni !) & les Carbonara délicieuses !
Merci à Frédéric pour son accueil, allez y les yeux fermés
