Destination-worthy lasagna and handmade pastas with limited seating and occasional brusque service; great flavors, moderate pricing, and best when you plan ahead.
Marcella's Lasagneria earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality—paper-thin lasagna sheets and crisp edges that inspire repeat visits—and strong destination appeal for pasta lovers across the city. However, inconsistent service warmth, tight seating and peak-time crowding, and recent evening service hiccups prevent grade A territory. Daytime dining delivers on the promise; evening expansion shows growing pains that undermine consistency.
One caveat: Service can be curt or confrontational according to several diners; experiences vary widely
