A dinette in the heart of Old Montreal!
At Marcella, you can enjoy pasta prepared in the traditional Italian fashion, like the classic carbonara served with pecorino cheese, pancetta, and egg yolks. Do you want something a little lighter? Tempt yourself with a fennel salad that comes with a citrus vinaigrette.
As an accompaniment to your meal, pick a cocktail from their highly varied selection. From the White Negroni to the Viola Spritz, these drinks will initiate you into the dolce vita of Italy.

    The food didn’t seem really fresh. My boyfriend ordered the carbonara and felt bad directly after eating it and all night long. He said that the pancetta tasted really weird. We went to italy a couple of times, so we know what is a good carbonara and it wasn’t that. The service wasn’t bad but every table was offer parmesan cheese and pepper execpt us. So we were a bit off, cause we both love parmiggiano cheese. The arancini was great though.

    Aujourd'hui, je suis allé déjeuner et j'ai duré 15 minutes à l'arrêt à l'entrée parce qu'ils n'avaient pas d'hôtesse pour pouvoir passer les clients, le service n'était pas bon le gars qui s'est occupé de nous n'avait pas une bonne attitude la nourriture était froide, je me souviens qu'à la fin que nous avons fini de manger ils ont levé nos plats et nous ont apporté la facture à ce moment-là sans que nous le demandions c'est une façon grossière de traiter les clients, je suis allé plusieurs fois à cet endroit et cela ne m'était jamais arrivé aujourd'hui c'était moche.

    Fun place with average food and wine. Beautiful decor in busy old-town street. Food could benefit from better seasoning and layered flavours. Ingredients unfortunately are not forming a cohesive dish but their flavours remain separate.

    L’endroit est très agréable et bien situé. Le prix du menu est cependant trop élevé vis-à-vis de la qualité des plats servis. La musique était trop forte. Le service était moyen, sauf pour l’un des serveurs qui était aidant et agréable. En résumé, cela ne vaut pas le prix (130$ pour deux personnes).

    Beautiful and cool ambience and decor. Service was TOP notch. Other restaurants should take note;) location was so much fun. Lots of action but not overwhelming. Had a spot at the window which was great. People watching and great view of the bar, street and inside the restaurant. Food always came hot and fresh and delicious and flavorful. This team knows what they are doing. Mmmm!
