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.
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!
Prix exorbitants pour ce qu'il y a dans l'assiette. La pizza est faible en garniture, manque de saveur & de générosité. La salade César n'est ni plus ni moins une salade verte avec 3 copeaux des parmesans.

3e fois ici, toujours aussi satisfaite de la nourriture & des prix abordables! Pour les événements spéciaux/anniversaires, ils ont une magnifique salle privée qui est située dans un endroit qui préserve l'intimité au fond du restaurant ; j'ai adoré l'expérience! Une adresse à découvrir sur la plaza :)
Good food but the atmosphere kinda ruins it. We were seated upstairs & it was extremely loud, could barely hear the person sitting right next to me & they couldn't accommodate us to sit anywhere less noisy :/
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.
Food was absolutely delicious! The broccoli was the best I have ever had! The service was amazing! The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the chairs were super uncomfy & it is very closed in & not a lot of space
Un vrai bijou d'adresse italienne ! Les pizzas sont tout simplement sublimes - une pâte croustillante, des garnitures savoureuses, le tout cuit à la perfection. À se jeter à terre ! Les portions sont généreuses, les prix très accessibles, & la carte des vins nature est à découvrir absolument. Un grand merci à notre serveur, pour son accueil chaleureux & son service attentionné - juste ce qu'il faut pour passer un moment parfait. Une belle expérience du début à la fin. On reviendra, c'est sûr !
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.
