Marcella's has a very atypical ambiance for a Scottsdale restaurant, which makes it an experiential treat to visit. The interior has an old school look to it, which reminds me of Italian restaurants on the East coast and Midwest. The parlor and outdoor bar area the most interesting places to sit in the place to admire the old school cabinetry and flooring. As interesting of a place as Marcella's is, I've had relatively "meh" food experiences each time I've been there. I noticed that the menu had changed when I visited yesterday. Apparently it's now become more of a fine dining establishment. Rather than venture into having any of the new pasta dishes, I had the vegetarian pizza which was surprisingly the best thing I've eaten there so far. The flatbread pizza was topped with plenty of mushrooms, tomatoes and other veggies, and was garnished with an arugula salad that was tossed in a tart dressing. Although I don't envision myself become a regular there, I'll probably stick to the veggie pizza to avoid further disappointment.
