I was very impressed with both the food and service here. I had the roasted garlic cheese bread to start and would definitely recommend it. For my main course I tried the fettuccine and meatball. It was a large meatball in red sauce and the fettuccine had an Alfredo sauce. This was a good combo. The chicken parm was also fresh and cooked well. Overall I was very impressed with this restaurant and can’t wait to return!
I've been on 2 separate occasions. Both times, it was great customer service and just overall great experience. The seating is very close when you are sitting at the lower positions and it sometimes makes it harder for your conversations to feel intimate. But otherwise, it works out just well. The food is really good, and it is something universal enough that everyone can find something on the menu that they'll like. I especially enjoy when my customer service is good. When it's not, it impacts how I feel about my meal. So the service that we got from Asher was especially appreciated. Really, it was the intensiveness to our party and the accuracy of our meals that he provided that made it worthwhile. I'd recommend THIS location anytime. ♥️ I also recommend that you go with a reservation. Because of this location, it would be hard to do a walk-in.
Very busy but traveling alone eating at the bar is actually preferred. The staff is attentive and well trained. Highly recommend the Carbonara (not pictured) very nice and not overpriced wine selection.
We had a great time at Marcella's on a Friday night! The strawberry balsamic martini is an absolute must try! Their fettuccine with meatball is absolutely delicious and tender, they mix Alfredo with marinara which I've never had before and it was spectacular. Asher was an excellent waiter too!
I cannot say enough good things about the food and the service. Our server, Sam, went above and beyond to make it a special evening. The Cesar salad was outstanding. The croutons were delicious and we chose to add the white anchovies to the Cesar salad and it was definitely worth it!! Sam suggested adding blackened shrimp to the Carbonara and it was outstanding. The happy hour included half price pizzas and you can split the pizzas half n half. The crispy potato pizza was amazing. Basically the food was delicious and The server really made us feel like we were the only patrons in the restaurant. I can’t wait to go back!!!
