    This was my first time coming to Marcella’s and it will be my last. The ambience is drab, loud, and packed in. The service was the only shining part of the evening. The waiter was amazing and friendly. We ordered dinner and the food that was “like a religion as it is so good” came out in literally 4 minutes. I got the chicken parm and I think IHOP could plate better and make it look more appealing. The chicken was chewy and bland. The Alfredo side was made with spaghetti noodles and watery. The bread was a step below Kroger. My daughter got penne Alfredo noodles and even she thought out jar sauce at home was better. Olive Garden and Sbarro at the mall are better bets.

    Disappointed with our dinner at Marcella’s. Our waitress made us feel rushed, our dinner came out before our appetizers, and she gave us the bill of the table next to us. The manager was very friendly and we did not get charged for our appetizers but I feel like this location could use some TLC to get back to how it used to be.

    Food quality was less than what I have previously experienced at Marcella’s. Dressing on Caesar salad was overly tangy and meatballs for both our appetizer and entree were not adequately cooked, still pink on the inside. Maybe a bad night but not what I was expecting.
