Shrimp rigatoni was fantastic. A few cauliflower pieces in the cream sauce was a surprise. The tiramisu was truly amazing. And we don't typically order dessert. So glad we did. Check out their Freebird mocktail!
Met a group of friends here for a Christmas dinner. I must say it was great. We were seated in the second room. Our server was attentive and prompt to greet us. We had appetizers and enjoyed a wonderful Dinner. The apps - carpaccio, toasted ravs and carmelized cauliflower were super. My lobster and shrimp risotto was tasty. Our dessert selection for the group was chocolate cream brûlée, regular cream brûlée, spumoni ice cream, and a hazelnut cannoli. All of them were delicious. My preference was the cannoli. I would absolutely return. Reservations highly recommended
We received a gift card, so our first visit here. The place is charming and was packed by the time we left. Our server and the staff were top notch and accommodating. We had calamari and bread with hummus to start. Saw pictures online, so knew I wanted the lasagna. My husband got the pork chop special. The food was very good. We’ll be back.
We had a fantastic experience at Trattoria Marcella. I ordered the toasted ravioli and lasagna, both of which were outstanding—classic comfort dishes done right. The bread was incredibly fresh and paired perfectly with their delicious hummus, which was a pleasant standout. What really impressed me was how family-friendly this place is. My 2-year-old daughter loved the calamari—which says a lot, because it’s not every day you find a toddler-approved appetizer at an Italian spot! They also have a great selection of wines and cocktails, which made for a relaxing night out with the perfect touch of elegance. Whether you’re going out with family or on a date night, Trattoria Marcella is definitely worth the visit. We’ll be back!
My wife and I went in not long ago. She doesn't get a craving for Italian nearly as often as I do. So, when she mentioned Italian, so I jumped at a chance to try a new spot. Trattoria Marcella had great reviews so we went (no reservation on a Friday). Somehow they were able to seat us within 20 minutes or so. It was a bit loud once we were seated, but in hindsight sight, that was probably because of how excited people were over the food. I know we were. When the main course came out it was presented extremely well. Looked absolutely amazing. My wife had the lasagna, I had the rigatoni. When the first bite hit us, we were both speechless for a moment. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Everything cooked to perfection. The flavors were very well balanced and blew us both away. We can not wait to go back. Hands down the best Italian I have ever had.
