Delicous
Very good food. Worth a try if u haven't been there. Worth every penny
A high-class experience with an affordable check at the end--couldn't ask for a better deal. The toasted raviolis are arguably the best in StL. Eat outside on the patio if you get the chance--great atmosphere!
Amazing anniversary dinner!
Trattoria Marcella is a remarkable,pleasant and cozy restaurant with the most amazing staff! The food is to die for, the wine is so goood. Most of all the wonderful staff, Yes we love Joey Capise, I love the love that is shown to everyone whom enters Trattoria Marcella..Salute! and Thank You for a wonderful and joyful experience!
My husband and I had actually tried to go to the Mexican seafood restaurant 2 miles away from here, the internet and their door said they closed at 10, but they actually closed at 9, we got there at 5 till 9 and were told very rudely they were closed. So we ended up googling restaurants near by and couldn't have been more happy that place was closed. My husband, Ray had the house salad that wasn't just an ordinary salad, fresh greens with a delicious dressing. I got the special shredded Brussels sprout salad, they do have one one the menu but this one had more on it like fresh goat cheese and a different dressing also delicious, both salads were the best I've ever had. I got the rigatoni with jumbo gulf shrimp, roasted cauliflower, sun dried tomatoes, and a creamy tomato sauce, I ate my fill and had a whole meal to take home for lunch. My husband had a beef tenderloin served on mashed potatoes, he doesn't eat mushrooms mainly because if the texture, but he even ate the mushrooms because it was all so good. Every thing was great, amazing, Wonderful down to the food the staff the service everything we couldn't have asked for better again we are so so happy that restaurant was closed even know their door and Internet said otherwise because we would have never went to this restaurant if not thank you again for the amazing food and service and we will see you next time we're in Saint Louis
I had a wonderful birthday with my family here!! We all had something different to share & the atmosphere was very nice and quiet the wine was paired up with each dish & service was great! We were the last to leave!! The food & plating was fancy too, but the experience & company mattered the most!
We had a wonderful evening. Great food and service.
Food was good..the best thing was lasagna. Noodle tender, sauce delicious. Attentive service.
Cant really put this on FB cause I'm afraid I might offend someone but Im at Trattoria Marcella tonight getting dinner to go and they have got two people...cant say they are disabled cause they are working...but they've got two people here working who seem to have more difficulty than others but they are waiting tables and showing people to their table and doing a great job. You dont find many places that will give folks who have a little different capabilities a chance. Food is awesome. A little expensive but I will patronize this place for the future.
We came for a birthday dinner and had a great experience. Lisa was our waitress, and she took great care of us. The lobster risotto was great, and my friend ordered tge lasagna, which was huge and delicious. We will definitely be back.
Not as good as usual.
This place is great! Mike, our server was excellent! His recommendations were top notch. I had the Halibut and loved every bite. I thought it was classy that the owner made a point to introduce himself to his customers. I will definitely go back and plan on recommending this place to everyone!!!!
Food and service were good will go back again!!
Wonderful restaurant with impeccable service and food. The wild mushroom appetizer along with the basil lemonade is always consistent and delicious!
The food was delicious! I ordered the lasagna and the portion was enormous! Our table also ordered several desserts and every single one we sampled was amazing.
Jackie is the best bartender!!
This place never disappoints. Classic St. Louis style Italian food With an incredibly knowledgeable wait staff. Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion.
Service was excellent and the food was amazing. But bread and hummus that surgery it off was a wonderful surprise and the dishes were to die for. I highly recommend the chicken risotto and the lasagna
Best Italian restaurant in St. Louis.
Sure to please italian! Seafood risotto YUM
Great service, delishous food,. Great spot.
Loud crowded but extremely affordable quality food. Service can be hit or miss
This is one of the nicest restaurants we've ever eaten at. Service was impeccable and the food was outstanding.
I was very impressed with our waiter and our quality of service. Took my daughter for her 16th birthday and she absolutely loved her food. My dish was very flavorful but I just did not care for it. I cannot hold that against the restaurant that was just my personal taste. But for the amount of money I paid in the service we got everything was worth it.
Absolutely loved this place for dinner! Sara our server was incredible and made us feel right at home. One of the best meals I've ever had in St .Louis. Great gluten free options. We will be back soon!
We walked in on a busy Saturday night. It was great to see. We planned on staying for a drink. I was able to grab a chair at the bar and a few minutes later another next to us opened up. We stayed for a couple rounds and enjoyed the Mussels and Stuffed Artichoke. The two Bartenders were super busy and very efficient. If it's only 2-3 in your party. Grab a seat at the bar. Do it. Cheers
The food is just fantastic from the lobster risotto, to my favorite which is the pasta in a pink sause with cauliflower and schrimp and another fav is the brussel sprout salad and the service is fantastic make sure if you visit st. louis to put them on your list
I am not a big risotto fan but the lobster risotto was killer good. I’m willing to give risottos a chance now. Dreamy good!
Great Italian food. I had the veal chop. Which was one of the specials. It was melt in your mouth delicious. The seasoning was on point. The risotto was creamy and rich. So good. And the lemon panacotta was yummy. Have to return for the tiramisu!
Food was good, atmosphere has changed and become more casual, which is fine but our server was aloof and I felt rushed and ignored. Had to stop her to ask for a glass of wine and then was presented with our check before we were even ready. Would go back but never with that server.
Amazing food and great service! We came for my birthday because the tiramisu was so highly rated and it was the best I’ve ever had! We had the lasagna and it was outstanding!
Wonderful italian food could workout good veggie options
Haven't been here in decades but the food was still good (my risotto entre only had 2 pieces of lobster
Trattoria Marcella has great food. The ambience is a cozy, but it feels slightly dated in design. Some seats near high traffic areas can affect your dining experience. The muscle pot appetizer is fantastic and definitely worth it. My wife loves the flash fried spinach that comes under the calamari. The calamari is good, but the portion is a little small. I have had their pizzas which are tasty, but also a little small for the price. I try the specials frequently and an rarely disappointed. Most of the entrees are able in size and really good too. I really enjoy going here.
Excellent food and service!
Great place to eat
Family and I absolutely loved it! Manager (owners sister) was super cool with our terrible two's toddler and the dessert for my husband's bday was amazing. Will return!
Wow, if you have the opportunity, you will not be disappointed.
All entrees were thoroughly enjoyed at the table. The Town&Country is a delicious mixed drink to try. The shaved Brussels salad is one of my favorites. You really can't go wrong with anything you choose. Try the chocolate bonbons or tiramisu for dessert! Shout out to Joe who provided excellent service and attention to detail.
Wouldn't miss it for nothing
Excellent food overcomes long-ish wait times. If you're dinning in, just be prepared to be there a while. The bar area gets a little crowded, but they're busy because their food is amazing! Everything that they serve is prepared perfectly. We have even done carryout a few times and the way that they package your order ensures that your food holds up VERY well for the ride home. Also, we have made some fairly complex takeout orders and they nail it every time. Never a missed or wrong item.
Excellent meal, great service, and a special dessert for our anniversary. Another great experience at Trattoria Marcella!
I never write reviews, but I'm breaking my silence in support of a business that I have been impressed with for a long time. I have been a customer for many years. Recently I adopted a vegan lifestyle and I had not been in for months. They did not judge my diet choice (a lot of places do) and were excited to accommodate me. I had a vegan meal that was great, but the service and warmth of the staff is what makes Trattoria Marcella so wonderful!
And the fresh halibut which is flowing in fresh everyday and was not disappointed will be going back
Just had my birthday dinner there, it was perfect. Everyone had an awesome meal!
A true neighborhood gem, despite being situated on the corner of a pretty busy street. We've tried quite a few things from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with the risotto - particularly the lobster risotto, which is not on the menu, but is a perpetual special that they'll make on request. On our most recent visit, we tried the daily special, which was a grilled barramundi (a wonderfully sustainable Asian Sea Bass) with blistered cherry tomatoes over Parmesan risotto. Absolutely amazing. Wife had the beef tenderloin, which you could practically cut with a fork.
Everything was wonderful. Possibly the best toasted ravioli I've ever had. The service was also fantastic.
Food, staff and atmosphere was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.
This place should be located on the Hill, it’s true Italian regional food. Great experience as always. Keep it up!
Best lobster risotto, shaved brussel sprouts salad!! Will go back for more!
My favorite Italian place in St Louis! Perfect place for date, birthday, or any other occasion. Highly recommend!!
Had a great meal here a few weeks ago. The service was impeccable, the waitress was always consistently making sure our food was good and our waters were filled. The meal was great, and the appetizers too!
Our favorite restaurant. One of the owners are almost always there greeting you and keeping everything running smoothly.
One of my favorite italian restaurants.
Excellent atmosphere, wonderful food and wine selection. This is a place that is great for a date, anniversary, or to celebrate a special occasion. My wife and I have been coming here for about 15 years on our anniversary and we love it. Waiters and staff are attentive you never feel rushed.
We had a reservation for a group of 10 for dinner with our mother. The staff was very accommodating and the food was great. Not everyone in our party had rave reviews of their selections or it probably would have been a 5 star.
Great as always! Just wish the menu would change a little
Always a treat. Great people and fantastic food and drinks. Always welcoming, feels like home.
Just love this place. Everything is tasty.
We can't say enough about this Italian gem! The service was great and the lasagna was the best we've ever had. Thank you Trattoria Marcella! You were worth the 245 mile drive. We will be back!
One of my favorite restaurants in St Louis. Have been going to Trattoria Marcella for 15 years and it has never disappointed!
Wonderful food, fresh and tasty! The regular menu service in the restaurant is great. They also serve off a 'bar' menu in the bar area and the outdoor patio with smaller serving portions that are great quality and lesser cost.
Great food and service. Will be back again.
This is a high-class, Italian restaurant that keeps to authenticity. The wait staff are all high trained and they know the menu like the back of their hand. Alcohol, appetizer, entree, and dessert should all be a part of your experience here because you will not be disappointed.
My favorite Italian restaurant on The Hill. I take my out of town guests here whenever I can. All the risottos are amazing. The gnocchi are perfect and the wine selection is one of the best in the region. For the quality of the food and service, this is a HUGE value-food and service are 5 stars, with barely a 3 star price tag. Extremely popular and always full at dinner time. Expect a wait. The chef (and owner, I think) walks the room and checks on his guests-very classy. You cannot go wrong at Trattoria Marcella.
Great traditional Italian restaurant on The Hill in St Louis. Classic, old style service while being very welcoming & enthusiastic.
Good food very busy
The food was simply amazing. But the best part, in my opinion, was the service. Attentive without being intrusive, anticipated needs without having to ask, polite and friendly. Will most definitely recommend and can't wait to come back for more.
Best Italian in south city. We'll be back again soon.
One of my favorite restaurants in STL. The food is exceptional and the service is always very good. The relatively new younger chef they have looks to be taking this place to the next level. The plan is to come here for my wife's birthday celebration and I cant wait as the experience for both of us will be fantastic. Always a good time.
Our favorite place in the Hill for special occasions. My girlfriend swears by the lobster risotto. I change up what I get every visit and have never been disappointed. Great service, great ambience. We love this place!!
Wonderful Lasgna, Lobster Risotto, Toasted Ravioli, and Flash Fried Spinach
Our friend's favorite on The Hill, try the lasagna if you've not eaten for days, or the fried chicken liver risotto, if you've not eaten for days. Good value for the prices, punctual service!
Lasagna is always phenomenal. We've been coming here for years and are never disappointed.
Has always been at the top of my list.
Fantastic staff. Great food. Decent prices.
Prior to this weekend I would have given this place 5 stars, but we went this past Saturday night and our service was awful. So bad that other servers we coming over to our table to serve us because they could tell we were frustrated. My food was good, but my wife's was lukewarm, which is a problem when its seafood... Typically a very good choice. We just ran in to a bad server. I am sure we will go back eventually.
My favorite salad in St Louis-the shaved brussel sprouts! Pastas are as good as it gets if you're not in Italy.
Didnt have a good experience at all. Food was not delious at all. I got spegetti and meatballs. Not enough sauce on my spegetti and meatballs were not that good either. No spices in them? My husband got some kind of steak pieces with some kind of potatoes He didnt like his either. We didnt even like the BREAD. sorry but we herd this place was so good by other people but now we wont believe people any more. Something kept going on with the music too. We sat out on patio cause they were super busy. Had reservations for 830 friday night. When we arrived were told theres a wait. Thats when i seen there was room on patio. The music was on at first and then i had to ask FOUR times before they finally turned it on. By then, we got out of there. Only had one drink.
Great place to eat and have drinks
Great friendly service and food that is to die for
Loved the lasagna and cannelloni. The ceasar tasted good and the homemade toasted raviolis were very.
Great food
20 plus years and as good as ever.
Great food, amazing happy hour, friendly and accommodating staff
Great food, great service as always. Though definitely need a reservation if you don't want to wait, it's worth the wait.
One of my favorite Italian places in the city-- and that's saying a lot. It's a nice, cozy atmosphere with exceptional customer service and a great wine selection. Their lasagna is to die for!!
Excellent service in a comfortable setting.
Excellent, the lobster and shrimp risotto was amazing. We will be back.
Very nice place the people are very friendly
Absolutely love this restaurant! We are there almost every other Friday and the specials never disappoint. Great staff makes this another family for us.
In 2 words - delicious consistency. On point, every time. Ask for Joey as your server. Bravo Jamie & Steve.
This was our first time here and EVERYTHING was AMAZING from the hostess, to our waitress, to our drinks, the quaint patio (it was a beautiful evening) to our beautifully prepared dinner and blueberry cheesecake!! We dine out a lot and Trattoria Marcella is at the top of our list. I do suggest that you make reservations. ENJOY!!
Amazing amazing food! Our waiter was just as amazing!
Hands down my favorite Italian in St. Louis. This is a family-owned gem that never disappoints. My family and I have been patrons for years. The service is always top notch and the food is consistently good.They have some good happy hour specials at the bar and also on their outdoor patio (first come first served). The wine list is great and they also have some nice specialty cocktails.
Love love love the atmosphere! The food is awesome. They have a great happy hour! Definitely must go!
I love this place so much. I keeping coming back.
DELICIOUS! Every menu item, apps, salads, and main courses were just amazing! Flavors just so good. Excellent service too.
One of our favorite Italian restaurants in St Louis. Highly recommend the lasagna it's enough for four people so you can always count on leftovers plus it's really really good. Like the atmosphere and they have a great Happy Hour
I love this restaurant. It has not disappointed me ever. I recently changed to a vegan diet and although there wasn't anything on the menu, they accommodated my dietary preferences. They prepared a huge plate of sauteed vegetables and chickpeas. Honestly maybe the best vegetables I have ever eaten. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone for groups or a romantic night out.
We were there for happy hour. It was great. We have eaten there many times. It's always good if not spectacular. It's my husband's favorite lasagna
Repeatedly got my call-in order wrong. Bartender was very rude about it and told me it would be ready 'shortly' - which turned into almost 15 minutes.
Very cozy. Enjoyed our two starters and entrees very much. Our server (Alexis perhaps?) was attentive even with large parties present. This place goes into our rotation of restaurants.
Honestly loved the service. The people here were great and answered the phone quickly to take a pickup order. The food was not impressive. We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. It's two meatballs and hardly any sauce and it just didn't taste good like many of the other options on the hill.
Food was amazing, server-Mike was a so knowledgeable on the menu... save room for the Lemoncello at the end. So worth it. I will be back. 5 star worthy.
Excellent service and food. Fried ravioli were great as well as the beef tenderloin. Cooked medium rare perfectly. Will go back.
We like to go out to a nice restaurant once a week and usually try to go somewhere different. We've gone to Marcella several times, because we think it may be one of the best in St. Louis. It's not the fanciest place in St. Louis, but don't judge a book by it's cover. The food is incredible. The mussels appetizer is amazing- beware you may be tempted to drink the sauce. Their lobster risotto which is not on the menu is beyond delicious, and their tiramisu is the best I've ever had. This is absolutely a must go!
Amazing food! Wonderful service (thank you Cassandra)! Make a reservation.
Superb Italian food, the pappardelle bolognese was otherworldly, freshly made noodles, amazing sausage bolognese. The raspberry lemon cream dessert was equally noteworthy. Exceptional in every way, including the owner who stopped by for a chat, and the very capable wait staff. Wish we had places like this in Florida!
Favoloso! Excellent service & even more excellent food at this traditional Italian restaurant. I had the “off menu” lobster risotto, one of the most exceptional meals I’ve ever eaten with an equally delicious Chianti. Check out this charmer when you visit St. Louis.
First timers / out of towners! We were surprised how crowded it was on a Friday night (totally regret not making reservations- rookie mistake), but we didn't have to wait long for a table on the patio to open up.Favorite favorite favorite was the arancini appetizer. I wish I had ordered double. Possibly my favorite thing I ate all weekend. Other than that, wasn't blown away by my spaghetti dish. Nice neighborhood spot with good service.
We were there for a retirement party. The staff went above and beyond for us. Everything from the personalized menus to the delicious food was perfect.
I wanted to give my out of town family a memorable dining experience in St. Louis and Trattoria Marcella did not disappoint. Our party of 14 had reserved the private room, which was perfect, and allowed two youngsters in our group to move around and not disturb other guests. Our waiters, Michael and Lisa, were terrific, attentive and gracious. The food was superb. This is a lovely jewel that I’m embarrassed to say I’d never been to before. I’ll be back! Thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.
This is by far one of the best places on The Hill for Italian food. I would describe it as a little more of an upscale restaurant, but still has nice family feel to it. They do a great job of keeping the menu simple. They have pizza, pasta as well as a variety of beef and chicken dishes. They also offer Italian staples like Risotto, Lasagna and Spaghetti & Meatballs. I have even had the experience of the chef making something special to order. Over the years I have been a big fan of the "Straw and Hay" dish as well as the Beef Tenderloin. Everything is high quality and prepared with care and precision. I have never been here and felt they had an "off" night. They have an expansive wine menu as well as a courteous and knowledgeable staff. This is my go to recommendation for anyone looking for a really good dining experience. It's not a huge restaurant, so reservations are highly encouraged.
Everything at this place is delicious and well done. Excellent service
This restaurant is a true gem. It is casually elegant. Service is great, food is even better. Had the fish special. Superb. Grilled perfectly. Nice portions.
This place is absolutely wonderful. The staff was very nice and service was great. I started with the table hummus and bread; the hummus was nothing to write home about but the bread was fresh, hot, and quite good. The basil lemonade was excellent and I highly recommend it if you're not drinking alcohol with your meal (the cocktail list was unique and I wanted to try 3 or 4 of them but wasn't drinking). As many have mentioned, the lobster risotto was very, very good. The mushrooms and spinach in it really pulled it all together and I only wish I had room for more. When I'm back in town, I'm definitely coming back to try more of the menu.
Amazing food, great atmosphere, reasonably priced.
A very pleasant dinner experience.
Haven't visited in quite a while. Happy to report that this is still my favorite St. Louis restaurant. Innovative, flavorful food and impeccable service. The best.
Excellent Italian food. Great atmosphere. The servers were attentive but not over bearing. My favorite Italian place in St Louis.
Italian food is always the best. I have not been here several times but I agree that it is great for an intimate date night with your significant other. Lighting is great, food is delicious, and the service is amazing. I feel like I am back in Italy when I have been here. Such a great location.
Good service. Great food
Wonderful atmosphere! Great service! And the food was AMAZING!!! Oh and the wine was Heavenly!!! Highly recommend this place for true Italian!!!
Very friendly staff and authentic Italian food off the Hill.
Ravioli made in house by scratch. You have to try it... great
Haven't been here for year or so. It was delish! Consistently good, and has been from the beginning.
This is quickly becoming one of our go-to Italian restaurants. I always feel special when I come here and the food is some of the best in town. Forget the slathered on butter and parmesan cheese. This place knows how to make good food. And they have a great little cocktail menu, too. Good for a date, anniversary, birthday or just because.
Food is excellent, and imaginatively seasoned. The service is attentive without being intrusive, and our waiter was a charmer. We will come here again soon.
Very good pasta and great service.
Tje pasta dishes are really good. And it is priced really reasonably
The food was outstanding and we had a fantastic couple of wines as well. My only reason not rating it 5 stars is the noise and activity. It’s such a busy restaurant and so many staff that it’s a bit nerve-wracking with everyone running around the entire meal. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing dining experience this may not be the best choice. If however you want an outstanding Italian dinner, then by all means definitely go!
Food was excellent as was the service. Dont miss the toasted ravioli!
Great meal! Great staff!
Go there! Do yourself a favor. Innovative and traditional Italian fare. We are long term fans and will probably see you there. Enjoy!
Delicious food, and excellent service!
Excellent service! Lobster Risotto and the Chicken Soto were amazing!
We (38 of us!) celebrated my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner at Trattoria Marcella last week and were treated like royalty. The food and service were exceptional. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and gave compliment after compliment. Jamie, Christine, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure we all had a stellar evening. I can’t thank all of you enough for making the celebration so special and memorable. I also enjoyed happy hour one evening last week as well and was very impressed with the delicious and very reasonably priced food and drink specials; this will definitely become a regular stop that I will make on my way home from work. Most sincerely, Donna Wenzelburger 10/19/17
As Italian restaurants go this is amongst the very best in town. Everything I've ever ordered has always been prepared excellently. Service is always snappy. The cocktails are actually pretty good as well.
Best Italian food since Florence!
Amazing Calamari and lamb dish
Excellent service and quality of food. The seasoning and preparation were expertly crafted. Well worth the high price.
Went here for brothers rehearsal dinner. Seated about 50 some odd people. Amazing food. Beef carpaccio was amazing. Lobster risotto was a hit. Nice little place for a date of I lived nearby but I don't.
Fabulous food ... polenta fries with mushroom sauce is lovely.
Favorite spot for a nice dinner out
It looks great, but we left before ordering because there were no decent vegetarian options on the menu.
Good food and service
