What Eric Arellano doesn't like about Mariella:
We were so excited for our dinner as this place has exceptional reviews. On the plus side, great kind service and ambiance. When it comes to the food, much was left to be desired. We ordered 3 appetizers and 3 mains to split. Out of everything, the burrata and truffle mushroom pasta were nice. Every other dish tasted like tomato paste/sauce with few seasons or flavors. Most notably was the lack of salt. In all, this... View all feedback. What Robert Popa Emil likes about Mariella:
Mariella never disappoints. The staff is friendly, efficient and helpful. The food is consistently delicious and nicely presented. The noise level is not so loud, and it’s a great place to have dinner with a partner, friend or a group. View all feedback.

The food was okay. Nothing particularly stuck out. I had the lobster ravioli, and they were a bit tough. The atmosphere is nice though.

This restaurant offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with a varied menu that includes gluten-free options. While some reviewers found the food bland and lacking in flavor, others praised the delicious dishes and extensive wine list. The service was a highlight for many guests, and the ambiance received positive feedback overall. Some dishes, such as the octopus and saffron risotto, were particularly well-received, while others fell short on flavor. Despite mixed reviews, the majority of diners expressed a desire to return and give the restaurant another chance. Overall, this restaurant appears to have potential, with some inconsistencies in food quality but strong points in terms of ambiance and service.

Very impressive and flavorful meal - started with the octopus appetizer, which was great - nice slight char on the pulpo, and the mint went well with it.

Ideal for Father's Day as the portions are large and hearty. Airy high ceilings. Music of the type 'Frank Sinatra'. Very pleasant.
