   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.

   We had not been to Marcella's for some time and were happy to see beef carpaccio back on the menu. We arrived early and were seated right away. Service was friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. The food was excellent, delicious and served in generous portions.

   We had a wonderful meal! Waitress was terrific. I just feel very CROWDED in restaurant, and wish it could be BRIGHTER. There were 6 in my PARTY! I requested a round table and we were seated at the ROUND TABLE. That made up for the noisy atmosphere.

   Salads were awesome, fettuccine and meatball was cold, had to send it back then meatball wasnt cooked done pink in the middle. Lasagna wasnt hot had to send it back. Not much taste to it. Over rated. Wont go back for along time if then. Used to be our favorite Italian restaurant. 95$ for a meal that we drove 1hr and a half to .

   We had a great experience for dinner on a Thursday night. Recommend reservations, they were full at 5:30pm. Asher was our server, didn’t disappoint. Food was excellent as always! A Meatball is a must! They melt in your mouth. Their Dirty Martini’s are fabulous also. Our food came out quickly, hot and delicious! Highly recommend if you love Italian
