My sister and I had an absolutely fabulous first experience at Marcella’s! Our server, Julia, was amazing and very accommodating. She was so friendly and gave some amazing recommendations. I had the salmon, but I wanted to substitute the sauce for a white sauce that they didn’t have on the menu. Julia spoke to the chef and the manager and they were able to create a wonderful sauce that exceeded my expectations. It was amazing and exactly what I wanted! That dish is genuinely one of the best meals I’ve ever had and I am so thankful for the team going above and beyond to provide me with excellent service. After our meal, my sister and I had the chocolate almond cake, which blew my mind. Julia said that was her favorite and she was absolutely right because it was delicious! I couldn’t ask for a better dining experience! I heavily recommend this restaurant.

Best food we’ve had out in a long time! Leeann took great care of us, as we were celebrating my besties birthday. Nicest surprise of the night was Keith the manager , as we discovered we knew some people I used to work with. What a great night! Thanks to all!

Service was slow and inconsistent. Food was okay. We did have to send back the Gluten Free Pasta dish as it was essentially mush. For the price point it was what was expected I suppose.

Way too noisy having been seated in the bar area rather than the dining room. Dinner was delicious although server was forgetful and inconsistent. Food not paced well.

The biggest surprise and find. This was our second time eating here. The first time we had Calamari as an appetizer. It was outstanding! We really loved it deep fried with lemons and peppers. This is now our favorite appetizer. For salad we enjoyed the deli salad and Caesars salad. For the main course we both enjoyed Guy’s Lasagna. It was very tasty. Top it off with a bottle of Malbec wine. The wine complemented the food perfectly. Tonight we had Caesar salad, Calamari, Spicy Rigatoni and Chicken Marsala with a bottle of Malbec wine. Everything was outstanding. We had Hailey and Jada as our servers, both provided first class service.
