    Our company had 10 for dinner: Our waiter and all staff were most accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was top notch. Several in the party were new to Marcella's and from out of state. Reactions were " best Italian food I've ever had.".

    Since my manager was in town, we decided to grab a quick bite so I suggested here during the happy hour. The food was delicious. We tried a few appetizers (meatballs, sausage and bruschetta) and we each got a pasta dish. It was all good. I always love this spot for a night out with friends or a casual business dinner. My only complaint is the server. I’ve had this same server twice in the last month and she just isn’t friendly or inviting. She lacks the attentiveness I expect from a nice place like this.

    Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Red sangria was so-so, white sangria was a little better. Bruschetta was large, unique and excellent. Meatball appetizer was large, moist and delicious. Cannoli was very good. Tiramisu was a large portion and excellent. House salad was good. Calamari was tasty and plentiful. All portions were large. Our server, Maria, was excellent, friendly and entertaining.

    We had a party of 14 people. We had reservations for 7:00. They were very busy when we arrived. We had to wait 30 -40 minutes. But the manager and staff were very nice and apologetic.They brought out appetizers for us while we waited. Calamari and Arancini were outstanding. All of our meals were delicious. The wedding soup was the best I had ever eaten. We finished with dessert. Tiramisu and the Chocolate Almond Cake were delicious.
