Marci Café - Restaurant

An ideal date night spot, it delivers in every way. The setting is intimate and beautifully moody—dim lighting, comfortable seating, and giant drip candles that give the whole space a romantic, old-world charm. An Italian-inspired menu full of wonderful dishes. We started with the ricotta meatballs, which were unbelievably juicy and tender, swimming in a flavorful sauce that you’ll want to drink straight out of the plate (which we kind of did, to be honest) and The Parm—perfectly layered, cheesy, and deeply satisfying. We couldn’t resist trying one of their signature pizzas, hilariously (and aptly) named the “Dennis Rodman.” Topped with spicy sausage and baked on a perfect crust, it was bold, satisfying, and full of character—just like its namesake. Dessert didn’t disappoint either—each bite was rich, indulgent, and filling, the kind of sweet finish that leaves you smiling long after the plates are cleared. the mood is just right: cozy, delicious, and effortlessly cool.

All food was solid. My favorites were definitely the appetizers. The hamachi was so well balanced and the fish was fresh. The broccoli was breaded nicely and was crispy and very addictive. Would recommend both dishes. The gnocchi was nothing special. Tasted like cream of mushroom soup. The pizza was ok but have had better in Montreal. Next time would try a white pizza. Hot sauce was good though! We found service to be on the slow side that night and they seemed to be waiting for us to finish our gnocchi before bringing the pizza. Overall good experience and would come again for the apps.

The brocoli and the gnocchi were incredible! I am still thinking about the brocoli a day later haha. The service is great there, the staff was very nice. Good location on St-Hubert street nearby other restaurants, businesses and the metro station. I also tried the chinotto, which is a non alcohol drink that I didn't know prior, and I'm a fan now. I will definitely come back again in the future :)

Delicious food. You can get a private room or rooftop covered terrace if you're over 10 or 8 respectively. Friendly service. A lot of food when you're a big group and have a set menu. Recommend!

pizza was amazing def the best pizza in montreal, we took the tomato pie pizza. fried calamari was good, for dessert we took the banana dessert wasn’t my favourite we would love to see tiramisu on their manu. Loved this place highly recommend

As I write this review, I'm already drooling. My friends and I went to Marci for a birthday celebration. We were 5 people and seated on the 2nd floor. The service was chefs kiss, our waitress made the best suggestions and helped us pick our dishes too. My fave dish was the hamachi, we liked it so much we ordered it twice. It was fresh, the sauce was amazing, no additional notes! Also the cocktails are surprisingly affordable ($11 for a negroni or martini), so kept the drinks coming. And pistachios on pizza? mindblown, we love it. It was the pizza of the month called the Tribeca!

We changed our dinner plans to hit this place twice throughout our trip - it’s amazing! The outside patio seating is great at sunset and nice for “people watching” and summer patios. The inside bar is small but it’s very intimate and charming for a date night. I recommend a reservation for weekends but you should be okay for weekdays. Mateo was our server and he made the experience even better! As for food, our favorites were the hamachi crudo, chicken Parmesan, and countach pizza. These are worth sharing or being your entire meal! For the pizza, and really any entree, ask for a side of the red sauce and enjoy! I’m not sure why they’re not bottling it up and selling it…yet! Overall, it’s an amazing restaurant and a must visit in Montreal - no matter the distance!

Food: 7/10 Service: 6.25/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Overall: 6.75/10 Nice restaurant but food seemed pretty average. For context came here on a Sunday evening party of 4, we ordered a few dishes to share and had pretty high expectations given all the hype from social media. For the food we ordered 2 dishes of gnocchi, a dish of pasta, the countach pizza and the duck salad. Amongst these dishes, the highlight would be the gnocchi a la recotta. While the other dishes seemed a bit underwhelming in comparison, especially with the hype around the secret menu. As for the service, we found that the consistency of receiving the food was kind of odd, we had received the pasta dishes first before the salad, and then mid way through the service we were waiting on the other dishes, when we had asked to received everything in the same time. As for the atmosphere, it’s a nice restaurant, with good lighting and great for all occasions. Overall, given the area and the many amazing restaurants nearby, I would have recommend those over Marci. Especially with all the hype around this restaurant, I felt a bit underwhelmed with this experience.
