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.
Malo was an exceptional waiter. The noise level was a little too high for our pleasure. The food was great- spaghetti carbonara was great. Drinks- wine selection was just ok.
the vibes of the restaurant were very lovely the atmosphere was very cozy & warm, the service that absolutely amazing super friendly & pleasant went above & beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. the food was so amazing very dish we order was absolutely delicious there was nothing we order that we didn't like.
Which came first, the Costoletta Milanese or the Wiener schnitzel?! It's like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg? In this restaurant, the chicken Milanese is pounded into thin slices & then deep-fried until crispy. The method is simple, but it is not easy to make the chicken cutlet good, it needs to be thin enough & not hard, juicy when eaten. & theirs pasta is uncommon too !
The place is really cute, beautiful aesthetic & atmosphere. My niece & I had mocktails which were not very good, but drinkable (very sour). The seafood pasta was supposed to be in a lobster bisque sauce, but it was only a tomato sauce that only tasted like tomatoes. The pasta carbona was salty & tasteless.
Absolutely fantastic service, our server Megane was absolutely wonderful! Myself & my family had a wonderful evening with delicious meals & drinks, I would recommend that anyone in the Montreal area or visiting come & dine here!!
The chef put his/her signature on the flavours in the sauces...unique & really delightful pasta dishes. Excellent service; the general manager is a fun guy, added to the experience. We'll be back.
I had the best cavatelli al pesto ever. The cavatelli were al dente & the pesto sauce excellent. The tiramisu also is excellent. Generous portions without exaggeration.i wish I took pictures but it smelled to good to wait. So my plate was empty before I realized I did not !
Absolutely INCREDIBLE. Visited for an early lunch at 11:30. It was pretty empty at that time so we were able to get a great seat. The restaurant ended up filling up around 12:30. The Antonelli Martini is one of the best cocktails I have ever had. I am absolutely blown away by how wonderful the food was. They're gnocchi is very heavy so I recommend sharing, but it is incredible. The service was wonderful & the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. This is perfect for a date night.

It was a great place to sit & have some Italian food. Our appetizers had a bit of a delay hut the staff was very apologetic & comped us some foccacia bread for the table. The entrees were flavourful & the pear pressure cocktail was great! We'll be back!
Really pretty place to eat & it literally feels like you are in Europe. We had the focaccia bread & the pesto pasta with pine nuts was AMAZING & staff here are super kind.
