The food was delectable the polpette entree comes with a Parmesan chip that melts in your mouth. The chefs special was incredible. The mozzarella sticks were mouthwatering. The ambiance is great good music. The staff was incredibly accommodating we ate here as a party of 20 & they did everything to accommodate us all for my aunts 50th birthday. The cocktails are really delicious too. The Pear Pressure is pretty cool comes with some pizzazz. I 100% recommend going. The tiramisu was really good I liked the little surprise chocolate chips in it. The cannolis were incredible the filling was the perfect amount of sweetness for me & the pastry was nice & crunchy.

J'ai été soupé à la Dinette Marcella pour l'anniversaire de ma fille. Nous avons eu un bon service & l'ambiance était bonne, sauf que je me suis retrouvée à l'urgence en raison d'une intoxication alimentaire. On m'a dit que j'avais contracté une bactérie soit par contamination croisée ou par intoxication due à la sauce aux champignons des gnocchis à la sauce aux cèpes. Ma fille a également été incommodée, mais plus légèrement. Malheureusement une expérience qui a gâché notre séjour à Montréal.

This is a nice upscale Italian restaurant located in the heart of old port on St. Paul! Great ambiance & decor. The food was delicious from appetizers to entrees! The only disappointment was that the service was very slow. I would still come back for the great food, when visiting Montréal!

Our experience was so lovely. We stumbled upon Marcella one night & popped in for a quick drink. While we were at the bar, we made a dinner reservation for the next night & we were so glad we did. The food was delicious but what really made it a fabulous night was our server. I wish we had asked his name so I could sing his praises here.
