We had a 6:30 reservation on 12/30/23 & the hostess came by our table to tell us we had to leave because another reservation came in @ 7:45 while we were in the middle of our dinner not having finished our meals. Our waiter was great but the hostess was very rude. She does not deserve to work there & will deter people from coming back.

Music selection was great the evening we visited. Have dined at Macella's several times - on all visits music sound level too high, which in a small venue makes conversation difficult. Music should be for background & add to the ambiance. We asked for the level to be reduced on one of our visits & our request was accommodated.. Otherwise great restaurant!

Very cool vibe! Although it was quite busy, our service & food were perfect. The staff were amazingly cool headed & friendly despite a flood of somewhat unruly customers. Will definitely visit again.
