We were a group of 9 and came to Marcella to celebrate a birthday. What a pleasant surprise!!! The service was exceptional, the cocktails were perfect and the food delicious with good prices considering the excelellent food quality and presentation. As appetizers, we tried the onion soup croquetas, the bacalaitos and the alcapurria tartar. As main dishes everybody had different plates (trucha trifongo, duck, lamb, tortellinis) and they were all excellent. Would love to come back!

I found this gem on open table. It did not disappoint. Every dish we ate was amazing. The bone marrow and duck with orzo was very yummy. The watermelon mojito was also delicious. Will definitely return when we make it back to PR

Incredible experience. Hands down the best food we've had in Puerto Rico in all of our trips. The menu was thoughtfully designed, with playful twists on familiar dishes and ingredients. The execution was flawless. The staff was incredibly responsive, accommodating, attentive, and thoughtful without being intrusive for our large group and young kids. Having traveled extensively and enjoyed great food from roadside stands through white table cloth fixed course menus, Marcella is easily top 10 (and without the pretentiousness of some of the others). Can't wait to come back.

The food was fantastic and offered an excellent combination of flavors. The pricing was not bad at all considering the love and dedication they put into their food. Best place we’ve eaten in Puerto Rico.
