I had made this reservation five weeks in advance, with some requests that unfortunately were not respected. Still, I came in open-minded & willing to try the place.

When I arrived, my guest were already seated, but the table itself was disappointing. The ventilation was poor that night -it carried an unpleasant smell of'too many humans'-& the acoustics were terrible. The noise level was so high that it would have been impossible to carry on a normal conversation.

Because of this, we chose not to stay. We politely asked the staff to give our table to the next waiting party, which they honored without issue. I do appreciate that they seated us promptly, even ahead of people waiting in the lobby, & that was handled respectfully.

That said, the overall environment was not enjoyable. I would not return on a busy night again. If I were to consider giving it another chance, it would likely be on a quieter weekday (Monday-Wednesday). But realistically, I prefer to spend my money elsewhere.

Dinette Marcella is a fantastic place to eat. We had the parmigiana & tortellini alla ricotta, & both were absolutely delicious-full of flavor & beautifully made. The service was just as impressive, with friendly & professional staff who made us feel welcome. Highly recommended!

We had a dinner of selected appetizers & really enjoyed our meal; everything was good except 1 dish which they removed from our bill.
*The Marcella salad was delicious, it had just the right mix of arugula, greens, dressing, candied pecans, etc.
*My favorite was the bruschetta- they provide 4 long pieces with a perfect topping of tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, it was so good! & not only that, it sits on a bed of arugula which adds the right bit of spicy to the dish. This was just excellent!
*Meatballs were good, sauce & flavors were there.
*Fried calamari was delicious, tasted fresh & seasoned just right.
*Eggplant parmigiana was a disappointment. It was drowning in sauce & when you got to the eggplant it was mushy. It was like there was breading that got mixed into the sauce & the eggplant had no good texture. I have to give kudos to our server who asked if everything was all right & I told her about this. She apologized & returned offering to switch it for something else. We didn't want another appetizer so she just removed it & we got 2 desserts instead.
Had she not asked, I would never had complained but would have left dissatisfied. She was excellent, the restaurant was excellent & overall this is a wonderful place to enjoy a good meal.

Solid restaurant, but it was the most expensive meal we had in Montréal & the food was just average. I ordered the Trippolino Fruite De Mar & my wife has the Carbonara Di Spaghetti. Both lacked the flavor i would expect & the calamari in mine was a little chewy. Atmosphere was impacted by road construction outside. We were seated near a window on the side of the restaurant near the construction even though there were many other open tables.
