Dinette Marcella is without a doubt our favorite spot in Montreal. The food is delicious, the drinks are excellent, & the elegant decor creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. My wife & I shared the tortellini & the New York steak, & we couldn't have been happier with our choices. If you're lucky enough to see veal steak on the menu, order it! It's a real treat. Our server Sandy was friendly, attentive, & professional, making our meal even more enjoyable. We always leave already planning our next visit!View more

We had a great meal at dinette Marcella. Everything was delicious - we had the Calamari, focaccia, cacio e pepe ravioli & the tortellini. For dessert, the pistachio cheesecake is incredible. Make sure to book a reservation- our reservation was at 9pm on a Sunday & it was busy. Service was a little slow at times but not horrible.View more

Nous sommes allés manger chez Dinette Marcella pour mon anniversaire & c'était vraiment super.
La nourriture était excellente, le restaurant à l'intérieur est vraiment cute & il y avait une belle ambiance.
La seule chose que nous avons moins aimé est la vitesse à laquelle nous avons reçu nos assiettes. Nous avons commandé & littéralement 5min plus tard nous avions nos assiettes. C'est vraiment trop rapide. Quand nous allons au resto, nous apprécions prendre le temps de discuter un peu avant de manger, prendre un verre & profiter de l'ambiance en général. Là, c'était un peu précipité & ça nous a surpris de manger aussi tôt en arrivant. Prochaine fois, nous demanderons au moins un 20min avant d'avoir les assiettes.
Ça a coûté environ 110$ pour deux assiettes & deux drinks. Nous n'avons pas pris d'entrées.
Nous allons certainement y retourner!View more

Music is way too loud. Some dishes are very good, som like carbonara should not be on menu at all. It wasn't a carbonara as people usually know it. Just dry pasta with egg & cheese.View more

Food was amazing! The arancini was very good, would recommend. I got the gluten free pasta & as a celiac I appreciated having the option of gluten free pasta, however it was a bit pricey making it $5 extra. We sat in the corner & the seat itself was comfortable & nice, but extremely hot. Made us feel very tired. Our server was phenomenal & gave us some recommendations on places to go around Montreal! Would recommend this place to a friend!View more

We've ordered steak & carbonara pasta. The steak was too salty & hard, pasta was good. Please be aware that the waiter will put 18% of the tips into the cheque automatically - we love to support customer service, but that gesture changed the impression from the restaurant in a bad way. The place itself is pretty, but too noisy.View more
