    This is our 3rd time here, we’ve usually had a great experience. This time our server was terrible, we had to ask other people for things bc she was never around us. Our food came out within 5 min of ordering, we never got bread until after our food came out. It was my sons bday and he chose this for his bday but we felt rushed out of there. The music was loud and top 40. Last few times it just seemed classier. We should have just gone to Olive Garden.

    The service with Samar was exceptional. Food was delicious. The cost was on the high side so we are not sure if we will be returning. The restaurant was very loud. There is little acoustical tile to absorb sounds. It was very difficult hearing the guests at our table.

    I'm not one to complain, but had the absolute worst service in the bar on a Monday - one of the few times I thought about not leaving a tip Server was the bartender as well- not a busy night- maybe 4 tables No follow up, had to flag other servers for grated cheese, refills on drinks and the bill- really I've been there other times and the experience and food were great Extremely disappointed!

    I’ve eaten at Marcella’s before and enjoyed it, but this visit was disappointing. We ordered a salad, it wasn’t much more than chopped lettuce and a bland vinaigrette. My food was ok, (spaghetti with meatball) but my wife ordered tortellini with chicken. It was totally bland and flavorless. Could not recommend less especially for the price. Meh food at way too high a price. Disappointing

    I've eaten at Marcella's three times and have not been disappointed yet! My wife loves the spaghetti and meatball (just one, but it's big enough), and I've tried different things on the menu, and they're all delicious. The atmosphere is very nice and the staff is great. I always look forward to eating there.

    Great service! Probably the best in months anywhere. Server Morgan was so pleasant and attentive. Our appetizers were amazing and wine selection was great. Entrees were great although I liked mine better than my husband liked his. Morgan sold us on a take home dessert that was delicious. We will gladly go back.
