Nous sommes venus tôt dans la soirée, en famille, avec 2 enfants de moins de 10 ans. Accueil impeccable. Proposition de plats pour enfants. Les serveurs sont aux petits soins pour tout le monde. La cuisine est excellente & les portions, idéales, ni trop ni trop peu. Ambiance chaleureuse & excellents choix musicaux. Une adresse à ne pas manquer !View more

Pâtes au pesto très bonnes.

If I could give the service 10 stars, I would.
We had the pleasure of dining at Marcella's, twice, during our visit to Montreal. The interior is charming, great vibe, delicious food, & absolutely outstanding service. On our first visit, the restaurant was fully booked, but the hostess amazingly made room for us at the bar. My husband & I shared a Caesar salad, followed by Spaghettini Pomodoro & Gnocchi Di Marcella; both meals were delicious. Our servers, Melissa & Frederic were top notch. Because of them, & the delicious meals, we decided to return before returning to New Jersey.
On our second visit, we shared the eggplant parmesan appetizer, along with the cod special & the Tortellini Alla Ricotta; again, everything was delicious. The cocktails, Ladro Di Vespa & Giuseppe Garabaldi were so delicious that two were necessary. Megane was our server, & again, she was friendly & personable.
Marcella's is highly recommended; we will definitely return on our next visit to Montreal!!View more

Repas globalement très bon.
Nous avions fait une réservation à 19h30. En arrivant là-bas, ils nous disent que la réservation était pour 20h & qu'il fallait sûrement attendre 20h15 car ils n'étaient pas sûr d'avoir une table.
Nous réussissons à nous installer mais la salle était tellement bruyante que nous n'arrivions même pas à nous entendre. Le moment n'a pas été agréable :(View more

We had an incredible dining experience at this quaint Italian restaurant nestled in the heart of beautiful Old Montreal. The ambiance was charming & warm-perfect for a relaxed evening out. The charcuterie board was outstanding: generous, beautifully presented, & packed with flavour. The pasta dish was nothing short of sumptuous-perfectly cooked pasta with a rich, comforting sauce that tasted like it had been simmering for hours.
Our waiter was the definition of excellent service: patient, attentive, & helpful, yet never intrusive. It's rare to find that perfect balance, but he nailed it.View more

Absolutely outstanding in every way. The pasta Carbonara was right up there with the best I've ever eaten. The cocktails were also simply superb, as were the atmosphere & service.
Absolument exceptionnel à tous points de vue. Les pâtes carbonara étaient parmi les meilleures que j'aie jamais mangées. Les cocktails étaient tout simplement superbes, tout comme l'ambiance & le service.View more

Dinetta Marcella was a good experience for us. We enjoyed the ambiance, service & food. They serve quite traditional Italian meals, hovewer, they have a fresh & innovative approach to Italian cuisine. Great location for a date night!
Side note, I mentioned that it was my partner's birthday & asked if they could kindly add a candle to our dessert, & they forgot. That was disappointing.View more
