The price-quality ratio of the dishes makes me wonder: would I come here again? The answer is no.

Yum - arancini excellent with a spicy red sauce- spaghetti bolognese meaty & wonderful. Minestrone a bit on the'light' side & would benefit from a little salt. Mini cannoli perfect with mini chocolate chips . Incredible service.

We went to Marcella on a celebratory trip. Our waiter Michael was very kind & provided us with great service as well as many recommendations for other bars in the area. Burratta & cocktails were amazing. Would recommend & definitely come back when in the area again!

As always Malo was fantastic & give an upper level of service. Food was great. Wish there would have been be a little more pasta in the plate.

Music & crowd was FANTASIC!!! Light was a little bright & could have been lowered just a little to create a more intimate atmosphere.

Love the new chicken! Quality & taste was fantastic but please bring back the thinly breaded chicken Milanese in Spring.
