Da Marcella opened in June 2012 by a group of six owner/partners who were all experienced in the NY Italian dining scene. Their collective backgrounds were as chefs, managers, bakers and/or waiters in restaurants including Felidia, Bar Pitti, Via Quadronno, Quattro, Plataforma, Da Silvano and many others. They wanted to create a restaurant that would closely resemble one just opened 100 years ago, before the terms "free-range chickens," "organic" or "antibiotic/hormone-free beef" were coined, because back then then all chickens were free-range, all vegetables were organic and nobody had thought out the great foolishness of administering hormones or antibiotics to livestock. So use this for a real taste of simple, authentic Cucina Italiana.

Da Marcella is a proud member of the Slow Food Organization, founded in 1986.
