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.
Les critiques décrivent Dinette Marcella comme un endroit italien chaleureux et intime dans le Vieux-Montréal, avec une ambiance cosy, un décor charmant et un personnel attentionné; beaucoup louent des pâtes fraîches savoureuses comme les tortellinis, les gnocchis et les raviolis, ainsi que les entrées populaires comme la bruschetta et les arancinis et une bonne sélection de cocktails et de vins. Plusieurs convives remarquent des plats bien équilibrés et savoureux, notamment la carbonara, la burrata, les polpettes et les plats de fruits de mer, tandis que certains mentionnent des déceptions occasionnelles lorsque des plats manquent de cuisson, d’assaisonnement ou ne sont pas assez chauds. L’expérience globale est souvent jugée à la hauteur du prix, avec un service constant et une ambiance animée, bien que certaines soirées soient bruyantes et que quelques clients souhaitent une acoustique plus calme et un service plus fluide entre les plats. En somme, Dinette Marcella se distingue par des saveurs italiennes authentiques, une atmosphère chaleureuse et une hospitalité fiable, invitant des visites répétées pour les dîners en tête-à-tête, les fêtes et les repas décontractés.
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.

10/10 experience with welcoming staff & exceptional food. Upon entering, I was welcomed by their hostess, Iqqy, who was an absolute joy! She was able to accommodate us despite not having a reservation. So happy with our experience & to be up it off, the window seat was such a stunning spot! We were so grateful & boy was our server Megane was sweet! I absolutely loved the food & we left with a giant smile on our faces. Happy to recommend this restaurant to all of my friends & family.
Love all the details in the restaurant. Impeccable service. The food is extremely fresh, tasty, & made with care. I highly recommend the lobster pasta with fresh lobster meat. Tremendous value with big pieces of lobster throughout. The burrata was a hit, too. Nestled in Vieux Montreal, I recommend sitting next to a window to take in an immersive experience.
Micheal was the BEST bartender/server ever! His recommendations & drinks were 11/10!! Due to his excellent service & approach I will be coming back often. I am truly impressed & can't wait to recommend Marcella. Bravo on your professionalism & expertise, Micheal!! You nailed it & this restaurant is lucky to have you ok board! Wow!!! Wow!! Wow!!
