    Went for dinner for mine and my fiancées anniversary. Hostess kept a seat for us by the window for the view which was very kind. Food was amazing and our server was on point and accommodating throughout. We will definitely be back.

    Quite a pricey dinner for a less-than enjoyable evening. Focaccia was and additional cost on top of the burrata (which totalled to 35$ for a small chunk of burrata and VERY stale and oily focaccia). We were not prioritized as we were not drinking copious amounts of alcohol and and were not rowdy as the other guests were with unruly children who were running around during our meal and screaming. Servers were decent but noting spectacular. the Marcella house salad was quite good but slightly too salty and overdressed.

    Pizzeria-level pasta, served several degrees cooler than necessary. Closer to fast-food than a good trattoria.

    Reserved table was not available so given option to sit at the bar. Fixed stools and the bar made it difficult for a group to be social. Michael the bar tender was great though.

    I went with my sister for dinner and we found it really overrated. The food was pricey for the quality and portion. It lacked flavour and creativity, was basic and boring. There are definitely better Italian places located old port.

    All of the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was phenomenal; the pasta as perfectly cooked, and even a simple dish like spaghettini pomodoro was packed with flavour. They had a very unique cocktail of the day which was very well balanced. Highly recommend.

    Warm, stylish venue where we were nicely welcomed in by the host. Food was nicely presented and tasty for the most part, arriving in a timely manner over a semi-busy lunch hour. Great place to stop on rue St. Paul, if you want to avoid the busier, more touristed streets.

    It didn't have the atmosphere I was expecting after having viewed other reviews. For a business dinner, the noise level was quite high and a little rough around the edges when it came to the service as well as the level of attention one would expect of the waiting staff. The food was absolutely fabulous - no complaints there at all. I believe with a little more finesse, this restaurant could boost its ratings.

    Nice street, nice deco. But Food is seriously -12/10. Tried 5 things on the menu. There is not a lot of choices which is a good sign usually.. but it’s just very bad. lack of seasoning, It’s like you’re eating something out of the freezer. There are a lot of better resto in old port. No hate here, but It’s anything but Italian.

    The ambiance and staff were great, unfortunately the food was tasteless and disappointing. The service was extremely fast, 10 mins from ordering our main plate to receiving it but it being too quick reflected the quality and taste. we’re not usually as picky, but we had to add salt because it was bland and almost tasted like burnt bitter garlic.
