- KTKeithia TolesDec 28, 20254.0A friend and I visited Marcella’s at Polaris on a Saturday around 8pm. We made a reservation ahead of time. This was the first time both of us had dined at the restaurant.The food, service and ambiance were good and the meal was reasonably priced. I got a Caesar salad, Tuscan lemonata cocktail, roasted garlic and cheese bruschetta, lasagna, and chocolate almond cake. I would return.
- CRCarolyn ReisDec 26, 20255.0I am never disappointed by the food here, whether I eat there or take it to go. The veal meatball literally melts in your mouth. The gnocchi bolognese has the most pillowy gnocchi and the sauce is loaded with braised lamb. Highly recommend.
- KRKirk RecklessDec 24, 20252.0Third awful experience in 2 years. This restaurant is 0 for 3. What’s up with your hostess attempting to add a 20% tip to a to go order by telling us a total that wasn’t the total given when we ordered? Now when we placed a time order for 6:15, 3 hours in advance and received our food 35 minutes after that time, again with a 20% tip attempted to be added… it does not sit well. I was an executive chef in this city for 20 years. This is stupid and we will never be back.
- EDEmily DeVoreDec 20, 20254.0The food was pretty good and they were able to handle special requests on menu items which was appreciated. However, it is definitely pricey for the average family. It’s also pretty dark and can be crowded. We also waited around an hour to receive our food which seemed like a long time. I think our waitress completely disappeared for a good 20 minutes before we were ready to order so waited a while for drinks and bread too
- NBNepria BrinstonDec 15, 20254.0I only gave it four stars because the chicken parmesan with alfredo noodles was kind of bland for my taste but the espresso Martini made by Amanda was amazing. She definitely knows what she's doing. The arancini appetizer is definitely one to get. I went for lunch so it was pretty quiet and I ate in the bar lounge with less people. The staff is quite friendly and the atmosphere was clean especially the bathrooms which I always pay attention to.
