Marci Restaurant draws crowds with a moody, intimate vibe, a warm and attentive staff, and Italian-inspired dishes that many reviews describe as delicious and generously portioned. Many guests highlight the private backroom and other private spaces as a standout feature for groups, while noting that the space can be loud and the share-style format can feel challenging for two. Popular standouts include broccoli, meatballs, gnocchi, pizza, and chicken parmesan, with the tomato pie and other classics praised, though some critics feel certain dishes don’t always match the price. Service is frequently praised for warmth and wine guidance, but a few experiences mention inconsistent pacing or staff interactions, and some guests report slower service during busy times. Overall, Marci Restaurant is seen as a top pick for a lively night out or a romantic dinner, delivering strong food, ambiance, and value, with memorable shared plates and a cozy, candlelit setting.
The pizza here is serious. Great addition to the neighbourhood. If I'm ever in the area I'll find an excuse to try more of their pizza offerings. Highly recommended.
Superbe découverte ! Niché sur la plaza Saint-Hubert, le restaurant offre un menu qui marie les classiques avec des tournures originales à un excellent prix. Ça permet d'essayer plus de plats & ça donne envie de revenir pour goûter le reste du menu. Les cocktails sont bons à bon prix aussi, une recommandation facile pour tous !
Delicious food. You can get a private room or rooftop covered terrace if you're over 10 or 8 respectively. Friendly service. A lot of food when you're a big group & have a set menu. Recommend!

Such a cute place serving delicious food & amazing pizza!
Everything was very, very good - the service was excellent, & the portions were satisfying, which is a refreshing change compared to so many places in Montreal where meals are becoming smaller & prices outrageously high.
I only wish they had bigger tables so we could order even more food & bring more friends along! I genuinely recommend this place to everyone. If you're driving, just be aware that parking in the area can be a bit tricky, so try to arrive a little early.

Nice restaurant but food seemed pretty average. For context came here on a Sunday evening party of 4, we ordered a few dishes to share & had pretty high expectations given all the hype from social media.
For the food we ordered 2 dishes of gnocchi, a dish of pasta, the countach pizza & the duck salad. Amongst these dishes, the highlight would be the gnocchi a la recotta. While the other dishes seemed a bit underwhelming in comparison, especially with the hype around the secret menu.
As for the service, we found that the consistency of receiving the food was kind of odd, we had received the pasta dishes first before the salad, & then mid way through the service we were waiting on the other dishes, when we had asked to received everything in the same time.
As for the atmosphere, it's a nice restaurant, with good lighting & great for all occasions.
Overall, given the area & the many amazing restaurants nearby, I would have recommend those over Marci. Especially with all the hype around this restaurant, I felt a bit underwhelmed with this experience.
First things first, we ordered 6 things & all six dishes were amazing. We will definitely be back. I would've given it a 5 star, but we were seated at this tiny little high chair table, the kind where your feet are dangling & it was super uncomfortable. The ambiance of the restaurant is great, music is kinda terrible but it's quiet so you don't notice it, & if I'm being honest, I think my experience still would've been 10/10 if my feet were just touching the ground. It sounds like I'm being a Karen but my boyfriend's a big guy, & we order a lot of food. If you're here for two hours your feet are numb by the second hour. It wasn't the right seating choice for us, but frankly I don't think anyone should have to sit at this kind of table, it was almost enough for us to leave.
With that being said, we were served by Marie, she was so sweet & helpful, she helped us find a delicious bottle of bubbles, & recommended some great dishes. She's half the reason we stayed, the food was the other, & I'm so glad we did. She promised us there would be a note in our file that would promise we'd never sit at those tables again, & she understood why it was uncomfy for us. I'm not usually a complainer I promise !!! Wonderful wine selection, & their cocktails look great, I'll try one next time. Also we ordered a lot, like we were very full, & the portions are big, & our bill only came out to 200$. 6 dishes, & a bottle of bubbles. Wow.
Here's what you need to order, the hamachi, delicious. The broccoli, the reviews are right, it's a must have. The duck confit salad, fresh, delicious crisp duck on top. The meatballs, not my personal favourite but my boyfriend insists they're a must. The secret menu pepperoni pizza, crisp, cheesy & wonderful, ask for their spicy sauce on the side. OH!!! & how can I forget the bananacotta dessert, holy moly!!! Sooooo delicious. Not heavy at all, it's nice & light & tasted exactly like when you lick the spoon after you're done making banana bread. The slightly salty, sweet & crispy biscoff on top was a wonderful touch. You have to order it.
So moral of the story, if you get stuck at that shitty seat because they're very booked, just stay at the shitty table & enjoy the delicious food you're about to eat, & ask to be seated in Marie's section.
Super soirée au nouveau restaurant Marci sur St-Hubert qui est promis à un bel avenir, premier gros coup de coeur de 2025.
Le sashimi d'hamachi est un plat fin & recherché, le brocoli a conquis toute la table & a fait l'unanimité, le genre qui reconverti à ce légume mal-aimé mais ici plutôt lové.
Les calmars frits étaient bien exécutés mais nous ont laissé indifférent. La soirée fut relancée avec les délicieuses boulettes de boeuf & porc à la ricotta, sauce marinara. En clôture de ce feu roulant de pas-mal-tout-ce-qui-avait-sur-le-menu, le poulet parmagiana & une des meilleures pizza de Montréal avec sa fine croûte qu'on entend craqué.
Superbe carte de vin, prix raisonnable pour la qualité & service impeccable ont enchanté tout le groupe qui s'est promis d'en remettre.
Fortement recommandé.
P.S.: si ce review vous a été utile, s'il vous plaît laisser un ❤?, merci 🙏

Super soirée au Marci, la nourriture y est de très bonne qualité & le choix des boissons est riche. & les serveurs ne rechignent pas à vous faire un cocktail qui n'est pas à la carte.
Gros point fort sur la déco aussi qui vaut le détour.
En bref, je recommande.
Pizza is incredible ! Best pizza I've had in Montreal hands down !
Service was great as well as the waitress advised us to get less pizzas first since the pizzas were big & she was right !
Lastly, it was so cozy, with different areas in the restaurant which made it feel almost like we had a VIP section
100% recommend 🙌🏼
First time dinning at this restaurant, the food was delicious & fresh. The pizza was one of the best I've had in Montreal, thin crispy crust with fresh ingredients. The staff & service was on point, I would definitely recommend this spot!
Les entrées sont à se rouler à terre (surtout le brocoli). Les pizzas sont simples, mais avec des ingrédients de qualités & à croûte mince. La musique, le service & la carte des vins ne font que placer ce restaurant dans les premiers choix que je recommande à mon entourage. 5/5
Okay, to begin with just wow. This was not my first time here, I'd gone for cocktails in the past which were always memorable such as their fine martinis which are always a treat. However this was the first time I would order food. Had a fun little self date which absolutely recommend to anyone during the exam period when you need to unwind. The way to go is definitely start with oysters & either a Guiness or a glass of wine to boost those vitamins, then a little app or as I did go for the incredibly delicious chicken parm that killed it on since it kept all the right textures with maybe a little cocktail, then order another little dish if you've got room or move onto dessert. Any dessert would be incredible here but the mousse oh lord the mousse had this seductive velvetyness kind of like Jessica Rabbit. The people there are genuine warm souls & the vibe is beautifully effervescent, plus if the night is still young as you trundle out of there you can always go to any of the bars open late on the same street. Perfect for a cute date night or if you just want a nice little bite to yourself.
Nous avions réservé pour un groupe de 8 sur la terrasse chauffée à l'arrière & nous avons adoré notre soirée. La formule de menu pour les groupes était géniale : nous étions pris en charge & les plats (entrées, pizzas, pâtes, desserts) étaient délicieux & servis à un rythme constant qui faisait qu'on ne manquait de rien. Notre serveuse était ultra sympathique & nous a conseillé dans nos choix de bouteilles de vin (très bon d'ailleurs!). Le tout était accompagné de bonne musique qui rendait l'ambiance très festive. Bref, ce fut une excellente soirée & je recommande l'endroit à tous!
