We loved the cacio e pepe pasta! My wife first ordered the pasta pomodori, but the sauce lacked sweetness. The waiter replaced it immediately without charge.

Dinette Marcella was as great as I remembered it the first time I went. It's a beautiful, calm atmosphere with great service, drinks & food. The mozzarella sticks are top tier. Everything about this place is great. The menu is a bit small but everything is delicious.

Great food & service, but very noisy, hard to have a one-on-one conversation.
