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.

read moreThis 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 good experience, very friendly service, good wine, very tasty food.
Mariella doesn't need another 5 star review, but they definitely deserve oneThe service, food, and ambiance speak for itself.
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.
The steak was amazing. One of the best I've ever had. Service was a little slow but was worth the wait. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people....
