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.
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!
Nice place, good food, but our waiter wasn't great. Food was long coming out. That said, had better service last time. Not sure if it's their training or if this guy was off, but if someone asks for an espresso & you can't deliver one because your machine isn't working, don't oversell your drip coffee as "really cool diner style coffee". 🤦♂️
Très beau restaurant, ambiance décontractée, j'ai aimé la dualité des 2 salles. Excellente pizza, salade césar généreuse extra parmesan. Menu simple & peu dispendieux. Il faudra que j'y retourne pour essayer les brocolis! Bon service, accueil chaleureux, présentation des vins claire & sans prétention.
Nous avions bien aimé notre souper en famille, j'ai personnellement adoré les brocolis & les gnocchis par leur texture ont été un coup de coeur pour tous.
Merely okay. We went for a group dinner & were seated upstairs. Despite the smaller area it was deafening & we had to lean in & yell to try to have conversations. The appetizers were great, but the pizzas themselves were bland & lackluster. We had a vegan in the group & some of the recommendations from our server were wrong (or the kitchen failed to substitute properly).

Loved the vibe but our server forgot our pizza - took 40 minutes after our apps to come out. We then got food poisoning, both of us got super sick so not a very enjoyable experience.
