10/10 experience. From drinks, entrees, and service was perfect. I would recommend the tortellini a la ricotta 🤤 and of course for dessert, the tiramisu! 😉 Definitely coming back again!

Grievances: 1) Walked in and nobody came to help me with my coat. For the price of the meal, the service should have been much better. 2) Terrible and unfriendly service. Came to check on our table infrequently compared to surrounding tables. When I was offered parmesan and black pepper, I accepted both, yet I had to wait several minutes and actually had to ask again before the black pepper was applied. There was no help in placing orders or care that you would expect at this price range. At the end of the meal, the server stood over us as we tipped and paid! Incredibly RUDE and representative of the lack of class! 3) INSANE prices. Obvious tourist trap! $30 for a small burrata plate (cheese, tomatoes) with no bread. Nearly $40 when we asked for bread and the price was never mentioned. Ridiculous. The price to quantity ratio was horrible. It would be acceptable if the place had experimental food or was ambitious in any way. This brings me to my next point… 4) LACKLUSTER quality. I didn’t know it was possible to make chicken so bland. As a frequent visitor of high quality restaurants, this dish was an affront to my taste buds. For the price, this was tantamount to robbery! I have no issue spending on high quality restaurants, but paying for my “meal” was an injustice. This kitchen should be investigated for culinary misconduct! Stay away from this tourist trap unless you take pleasure in overpaying for bland food!

Hey Rohan, we are disappointed to hear you did not have the experience you expected from us. We are a dinette, and so coat check is unavailable however we do have coat racks placed all around the restaurant for your convenience. We take pride in our service and would like it if you could email us at [email protected] for more feedback so we can better serve clients in the future. Our prices are not hidden, posted outside our restaurant, written on all our menus and on our website. We apologize if these prices did not meet your expectations.

Had a lovely dinner at Dinette Marcella. We enjoyed a sauvignon blanc from Italy and it was really fruity and lovely. I had the special which was a butternut squash ravioli. It was honestly unreal, the flavours were so unique. I only wish there had been a few more pieces of ravioli, the portion felt a little small. My friend had the arancino and pesto pasta and loved both. For dessert, I had the beignets with caramel and they were so delicious. The restaurant itself is beautiful with stone walls and warm cozy lighting. Our server was very friendly and helpful! Just note, it is quite small (you will want a reservation) and a bit loud but you can hear the person across from you.

My boyfriend and I decided to go here for our anniversary. I’m gluten free and the pasta was amazing not to mention we had the best Cesar salad we’ve ever had in our lives. My boyfriend had the veil and I don’t think anything he ever eats again will live up to it. Fantastic place highly recommend.

Absolutely loved my experience at Dinette Marcella! The food was amazing, and the pasta noodles had the best texture I’ve had so far in Montreal — perfectly cooked and incredibly satisfying.The staff were warm and attentive, which made the whole evening even more enjoyable. I was also pleasantly surprised by how many vegetarian options they offer.Such a lovely spot — I can’t wait to come back!

The food here was absolutely delicious and it has a good cozy vibe. The standout was the arancino, it is a must have. The pasta was also delicious, I especially loved the tortellini alla ricotta. The ciambelle al caramello was the perfect sweet for dessert. I highly recommend this place.

Appetizers and Pasta are delicious. We had the Burrata, and Ravioli - super yummy. Market fish and seafood was just ok. The service is great, and the atmosphere fun and rich like the neighbourhood.

The place is beautiful, and the people who are serving are very professional, but the food, I think it was only us, but the food was cold, we waited for 30 minutes to receive our dinner, and the spaghetti that I ordered was simple, ir wasn't seasoned. 3/5 stars
