Very cozy restaurant with friendly staff & a good variety of mixed drinks.

Unfortunately I'll have to give it 3 star on the food. The appetizers were very good. I can't complain about them.

But I ordered the NY 14oz steak medium rare, & when it came it was more medium then rare. Parts of it tasted burnt. It wasnt very enjoyable.

My wife got the carbonara, that looked like a good portion, but seemed light on pancetta & tasted like al dente pasta mixed with plain egg yolk. Very underwhelming.

We left without trying a dessert, which is rare for us.

Marcella est à tout jamais un établissement de qualité avec une équipe de feu, pour n'importe quel occasion, un 5@7, un anniversaire, peu importe nous sommes toujours traités aux petits oignons. J'adore.
