Marci Restaurant specializes in wood-fired sourdough pizzas that emphasize long fermentation techniques to achieve a distinctively airy and charred crust. The menu showcases a modern fusion approach, blending traditional Italian preparation methods with creative toppings that reflect a contemporary culinary sensibility. Diners encounter a selection of small plates and vegetable-forward dishes that complement the primary pizza offerings through high-quality seasonal ingredients. The interior environment prioritizes a functional and minimalist aesthetic that keeps the focus squarely on the open-fire kitchen operations. Efficient service models prioritize the rapid turnover of artisan pies prepared directly within a high-heat stone oven. This establishment functions as a focal point for those seeking a technical and straightforward interpretation of grain-based Italian fusion staples in a streamlined setting.
Marci Restaurant is widely celebrated for its delicious, high-quality Italian-inspired menu and vibrant atmosphere, with many patrons calling out the crispy broccoli, meatballs, and various pizzas as standout items. The restaurant is frequently praised for its excellent value, attentive service, and stylish, moody decor, making it a popular choice for both date nights and lively group gatherings. While most guests have fantastic experiences, some feedback indicates that the venue can become quite noisy, and certain seating arrangements, particularly high-top tables or bar spots, can feel uncomfortable or restrictive. Occasional concerns regarding group menu portion sizes, strict time limits on tables, or inconsistent service experiences were noted, but overall, it remains a highly recommended destination in Montreal known for its tasty, shareable plates and welcoming environment.
Such a nice interior with a great variety of spaces & bars with an upstairs & terrasse as well. Food, appies & wine was great. Couldn't ask for more especially for the price being not too expensive for an amazing atmosphere.
We were recommended Marci by a local bartender, & we decided to give it a try. We are SO glad we did. The bartender, Mateo, was fantastic, so much so that we came back a second night in a row. On our second visit, Mateo was at the front waiting tables & recognized us, giving us a warm welcome, & helped get us a seat at the bar, with another server named Zach, who was also fantastic. When traveling we never eat at the same place twice, but the service, pappardelle & pizza were so amazing that we had to! Additionally, the drinks were affordable & tasty, particularly the old fashioned & red wine. We highly recommend coming here, & will be back next time we are in Montreal.
If you're planning a group celebration, Marci is an absolute must. We booked the private room in the wine cellar for my brother's bachelor party & it was the perfect setting, intimate, atmospheric, & seriously cool. The family-style service was ideal for a big group, with an incredible spread of food that kept coming. Our host was attentive & made the whole night feel special. Highly recommend for any private event or special occasion in Montreal.

The atmosphere, service & food were phenomenal. Great place to get a bottle of wine & yap with the girlies. 🌟 (Not pictured, the charred broccoli was a fan fav at our table! Def give it a try)
Every plate/service were amazing… The Crudo, the salad with bets, the meatballs, the calami, the pizza & the wonderful'onglet' with wild mushrooms (with a delicate smoke flavour). & thank you for an amazingly friendly service. The server was very knowledgeable of his wine list.
Cute place with a limited menu focused on pasta & pizza. Unfortunately, the non-alcoholic drink selection was very limited. When I asked for a mocktail, I was offered lemonade or water & reminded that it's a wine bar, which felt a bit dismissive.
Went for a date night with a close friend of mine. I could've swear the waiter was close friend to me too since the service was very personalised & warmful. Offered 3 different wines & took the time to explain every details about them. Perfect food, perfect wine, perfect service. I wish i could've catch the DJ night. Will have to come back!!
Great date night or dinner with friends spot!! Amazing food & ambiance. Great wine selection. I will definitely be back, I need to try everything on the menu. Do yourself a favor & get the broccoli. 10/10
Great food! Everyone loved it. But service was just bad. We had almost finished our plates & still didn't have the waitress at the table to order wine.
