The service was top notch - came in with a friend without a reservation. The hostess did her best to find us a seat, checking the bar, the reservations, even calling people who were late for their reso. The atmosphere was also great - it's very cozy and unpretentious. Food was 10/10. Previous reviews recommending the tortellini weren't kidding. The sauce was rich, creamy, delicious!

This was the best meal I had on my trip to Montreal. The meatballs were perfect, the tortellini was savory and the Bailey's pudding was decadent.

Disappointed to say these least. I visited this place yesterday and got the sirloin steak and of course it was overcooked. Potatoes were not cooked properly either and my veggies were cold. If I ever come here again I’ll try pasta. Steak is a no no. Especially after all the money I paid.

Hi James, we are truly disappointed to hear your experience was not met to our standards. Had a waiter or management been aware of the situation, we would have gladly replaced your meal. We truly do hope you come back and give us a second chance, hopefully we can change your mind. Have a lovely day.

Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and fantastic, friendly and timely service. Our server (blonde lady with some tattoos - I wish I knew her name) was amazing and even gave us a little duck as a souvenir :) 10/10 would recommend

I stumbled upon this place last year, the bruschetta was amazing so we had to come back this weekend. The food is incredible and the service is also good. However, while seated at the bar one employee behind the bar made us feel uncomfortable as we joyfully asked a simple question about my mothers drink, as he responded in an extremely cold manner, enough that i still thought about it today. Service is an art and if you are not ready to welcome a comment or question from a guest, you should not be behind the bar. Everything else was perfect, from the host (we asked to switch seats and he was very kind about it) to the main bar service (very knowledgeable and cool) to the quick service from the bussboy (he was very funny and polite)

Thank you Dominique for the lovely review. In regards to the gentlemen behind the bar, would you mind sending us an email at [email protected] so we may better understand and assess the situation. Feedback is very important to us, and this is not the type of service we pride ourselves on. Thank you ! We hope to see you again soon !

We had our Good Friday meal in this cozy restaurant as they had quite a few vegetarian options. We were so happy to find out the arancino was vegetarian and found it very delicious especially with the cream. The spaghettini pomodoro was simple but oh so satisfying! Finally the cavatelli with pesto was perfectly light and fresh. The pastas reminded me of Italy!Our server Megane was friendly and full of smiles so made our first meal in Montreal very welcoming. Merci beaucoup for a wonderful dining experience! 😊

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Shout out to Michael, Fred, Max and Louie for taking such great care of me!! I am already looking forward to my return visit. The food is so fresh and tasty. I had one of the best Caesar salads ever and followed that with the Icelandic cod special that was over the top delicious! Sincere thanks to the entire Marcella team!!
