We went to Marcella for lunch on a Saturday and the place was hopping. Even without reservations,…read morewe were warmly greeted by Michael and were seated quickly. The menu has lots of choices for carnivores and vegetarians. I ordered the cavatelli alla pesto which was steaming hot (as pasta should be) and delicious. The pesto was fresh and aromatic. The dish was topped off with aged Parmesan and toasted pine nuts. My wife had the spaghetti pomodoro which was also well presented, delicious and served steaming hot. Service by Michael was superb, friendly, and good humored. Despite being overwhelmingly busy, he found time to gone by and chat with us. This is definitely a keeper for future visits.

Unfortunately, everything online was booked, but I gave them a call and they squeezed us in last minute. The ambient and decor inside are absolutely stunning. They have a nice bar area too. We stared off with Chianti wine and Calamari. Both fantastic. I ordered the bolognese pasta without the burrata (dairy free) and my fiancé ordered the cavatelli pasta. Extremely rich in flavor and delicious. They even placed the burrata on the side for my fiancé to have since I was unable to eat it. The service was great. They checked in often and were very polite. Had a wonderful experience and highly recommend them!!

Pooh and I stayed at the Quality Inn and had supper at this restaurant…read more We ordered through its website and were expecting to pick it up but they called us and offered to bring the order to our room - bonus!!! Pooh ordered the lasagna and I ordered baked cannelloni. Both were delicious. I was impressed that I had four good-sized cannelloni tubes in a rich tomato sauce smothered in cheese. Pooh's lasagna was a good size, tasty tomato sauce with a hint of béchamel and also smothered in cheese. We also shared an order of calamari which were good;however, the coating was soggy but that's what happens when something breaded gets covered while it's hot - condensation The Caesar Salads were good and we liked that the dressing was separate We would definitely go back

Pizzas are hot and come out so fast, and the salads are HUGE (Caesar was a BIT overdressed). Pizzas look small but are filling. White sangria was a very generous pour and delicious.

From Dennis to the young man who brought out the food to the young woman who brought our salad And while we got a table tonight - this casual Italian pizzeria still had a good crowd for a very snowy winter Monday in Montreal!

The service is quick and helpful; note that the menu is entirely in French, but the cashier was quick to offer help if needed. The interior is simple, with a row of tables and chairs for four people each. The music inside is fittingly in Italian as well. This was an all around perfect experience and I would definitely recommend checking it out!

***4.5 Stars***…read more Solid Italian restaurant in Montreal with a focused menu. 7 appetizers, 3 pastas and 3 entrees to choose from. An intimate and mostly casual atmosphere. I had a great Negroni and wife had one of the best non-alcoholic drinks ever. Mostly Italian wines by the glass. We shared the scallop crudo, buffalo mozzarella and beef carpaccio appetizers. The scallop was probably my favorite out of the 3, but the sheer size of the beef carpaccio dish would make me order it again (good to share amongst 3-4 ppl). For mains, we ordered the cavatelli with pork ragu and the lamb special. The pasta was nicely al dente which complemented well with the tangy-savory cherry tomato and olive ragu. The pear tart with white chocolate yogurt was also a good way to end the meal. Overall a great Italian option in Montreal that I would return to.

The calamari is really good, very light and crispy. It doesn't taste very oily or heavy, and is fried well. The salmon was also good, they cooked it perfectly. The portion is fairly generous and they cook a very good 'Medium' so it's not over cooked. What I love is that they serve it with a small twirl of pasta. Just a small little serving which is actually the perfect size, to appreciate how tasty the pasta is - al dente with a great marina sauce.
