Looking for some Italian comfort food worthy of a nonna’s home cooking? Marcella is a charming new Italian diner in Old Montreal at the corner of Saint Francois Xavier and Saint Paul streets. Open every day for lunch and dinner, locals and tourists can enjoy Italian-style pasta, such as the classic carbonara dish, in a cozy atmosphere.
Dinette Marcella se présente comme une adresse italienne chaleureuse et intime au cœur du vieux Montréal, où une ambiance cosy, un décor élégant et un service attentif soutiennent des plats riches en saveurs et en fraîcheur. La cuisine est globalement saluée pour son authenticité et ses textures soignées, avec des gnocchi, tortellini et ravioli souvent loués pour leur cuisson, et des antipasti comme bruschetta et arancini qui reviennent comme des incontournables; burrata et tiramisu ou cannoli reçoivent aussi des eloges, même si certains plats manquent parfois d'assaisonnement ou paraissent un peu chers. Le cadre est prisé pour des repas romantiques, entre amis ou des occasions festives, mais le volume sonore peut être élevé lors des soirs bondés et quelques plats peuvent arriver tièdes ou trop salés. Le service est décrit comme chaleureux et efficace, avec une attention constante même en salle comble, tandis que la carte des vins et les cocktails font souvent leurs preuves et les desserts renforcent l impression positive. Réservations recommandées; globalement, c est une expérience italienne qui se distingue à Montréal, malgré quelques bémols sur l acoustique, le chauffage et le rapport qualité prix.
Incredible Italian food in Old Montreal. The charcuterie board was out of this world. Impeccable service. We went here two nights in a row it was that good. Also, the music/vibe is the perfect date night spot. Highly recommend!
Absolutely loved the whole experience. The service was on point & no words would be good enough to do justice to how delicious the food was. Definetly going there again. Highly recommend
Cozy little Italian restaurant in old port area. Maybe because of the location, the price is a bit higher. Service was good, food potions were okay. I like their pasta. Recommend to reserve a table during weekend.

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.
The food was 10/10. My partner & I both had pasta & both dishes were incredible. Our server, Michael was so friendly & attentive. The restaurant decor & vibe is great too. Would highly recommend!
Soirée fort agréable pour célébrer mon anniversaire, tout était top !
Merci tout particulièrement à notre serveur pour ses recommandations & attentions.
Je recommande sans hésitation!

Great Italian food, a little on the expensive side but the dishes are very well executed. The drinks are fun & creative, Pear Pressure is brought flambée at the table. Pastas are good, best ones is the ragù. Would recommend the mini cannolis as dessert.
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!
October 2023, stopped in & sat at the bar en route to a dinner reservation later. Split a fried calamari with my girl with a bottle of wine. Great atmosphere, very friendly & efficient bartender & staff. Liked it so much we came back the next day for lunch! Spaghetti carbonara🥰 was the best I have ever had anywhere in the world… no exaggeration! Just a great little restaurant with fantastic food. Absolutely recommend !!

Cuisine italienne typique, savoureuse & tellement réconfortante. Le décor du restaurant est de toute beauté. J’ai adoré & je recommande 100%. Le staff …wow! Tous super gentils. Un gros coup de coeur pour notre serveur Malo.
Food & atmosphere were good, but the service was honestly the greatest I’ve ever received. Jay was our server/bartender & he gave us the best service, the drinks he made us were exactly what we wanted, he was a phenomenal conversationalist, & he made our entire experience unforgettable. The entire staff was unbelievably friendly, but it was Jay made our entire night & was a highlight of our entire trip. Highly recommend the restaurant, but I sincerely recommend sitting at the bar for a drink with Jay.
Dinette Marcella is definitely a must in this foodie city! From the quality & freshness of the food to the exceptional service, I HIGHLY recommend it. Cocktails were truly amazing & my sun said he had the BEST Shirley Temple EVER! Open 7 days a week for lunch & dinner, which BTW is very uncommon these days, your sure to have an amazing experience.
