This was a fantastic way to end my long weekend in Montreal. The ambiance is familiar & lively without being overbearing. It's like you are in a living room with friends having dinner. The food is impeccably prepared, flavorful, & portioned perfectly. We left not one crumb or drop of sauce behind. I will make this a go-to for anyone who comes to Montreal & is looking for stiff cocktails, great food, & good company.
Fantastic spot with well regarded house made pasta. As others have noted, the Tortellini is indeed delicious. The Bucatini Vongole was ok but needed more sauce & the broth didn't stick in the noodles well. The tiramisu was very lite, but would have been better if it had more of the coffee flavour & really needed more mascarpone as it barely had any. The dishes were perfect portions as well & we left feeling satisfied but not overly full. We would return to this place.
Really incredible food & dessert. I'm a New Yorker who visits an Italian restaurant every other week because that's New York, but this was exceptional. Salad was a highlight. Tortellini with sausage sauce was incredible. Limoncello strawberry panna cotta on a hot day was such a fresh treat to close out the meal. We sat at the bar & our server was so kind & attentive too. Highly recommend.

We went here for lunch with a group of 6. They were able to seat us within 10 minutes.
Overall this place was amazing everything was delicious & our waitress was very nice & helpful. Since we were a big group we were able to try a lot of stuff. We tried the veal tomahok, the clam pasta, the lobster Mac & cheese, the gnocchi, the Cesar salad, & the fish. We also tried the arancini which was excellent & came with a really good cream sauce.
Everything was very good. The flavors were well balanced, the presentation was nice, the texture was perfect. No complaints from us.
If you are going to be in Montreal & like Italian food then you should come here. You won't want to miss this one!
The restaurant is beautiful & has a great atmosphere, although it was quite loud during our visit. The bruschetta & salad were both very good.
Unfortunately, considering the high prices, the pasta portions were surprisingly small. The green pesto-style pasta sauce was overly savor. The Agnolotti Cacio e Pepe portion was especially disappointing-it was only about 7 bites. Unfortunately, I don't have a clear photo of that dish.
This restaurant delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared & full of authentic flavor. The polpette were perfectly seasoned & tender, while the arancino had a crisp exterior with a rich, savory filling. The insalate Cesare was fresh & well-balanced, & the focaccia was warm, airy, & absolutely delicious.
The tortellini alla ricotta stood out as a highlight-delicate pasta filled with creamy ricotta & served in a beautifully crafted sauce. To finish, the tiramisu was the perfect ending: light, indulgent, & not overly sweet. The service was attentive & welcoming, adding to the overall experience.
This is truly a must-visit spot for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine done right.
A huge shout out to Mike, Asia & the whole staff & cooks.
We ordered the eggplant Parmesan, a salad, & two pastas. The eggplant was overcooked & the sauce was flavorless. The pastas were shockingly bland & mediocre. Saltless food with no flavor - our server at no point asked us how the food was. Stay away, the place is nice with a good vibe so you get sucked in - but a 10 year old could cook me a better meal.
On a adoré la burrata en entrée & le plat de pâtes au boeuf braisé en repas principal. Par contre, le carbonara était composé seulement des jaunes d'oeufs complètement cru & de pancetta. Pas de parmesan ni d'eau de cuisson pour faire la belle sauce traditionnelle carbonara, donc on a été malade :(
Trendy place with youthful vibe. Very busy plus waiting line of folks without reservations. Creative menu with some classics as well. Tuna crudo app was tasty with fried capers, pistachios & candied citrus. Tortellini ricotta & sausage sauce had potential but pasta was overcooked. Spaghetti with polpetto was solid. Quite noisy so conversations were challenging.
Several months ago was a first experience at Dinette Marcela. We were three at lunch prior to attending a play. . We were warmly welcomed & treated with friendly & professional service throughout. I had a gin cocktail, recommended by the waiter, delicious. All 3 of us had the arancino appetizer & we shared an order of focaccia. The arancino is delicious & succulent, a crunchy & light exterior with the soft risotto filling. The sauce was so good we mopped up every bit of it with the focaccia. We finished with coffee. A delightful experience throughout.
Yesterday we dined for the 4th time at Dinette Marcella. We were greeted as friends. We each enjoyed our meals. One of our group had the Tuna Crudo, a second chose Beef Carpaccio, & I had the pasta special. All were excellent. The service was friendly & thoughtful. We received a gift of beignets in a delicious caramel sauce with our coffees. Highly recommended.
