Marcella’s, an Ohio-based restaurant, marks another addition from the Cameron Mitchell Restaurant (CMR) group into Denver’s revolving dining scene. The Italian café made its Lower Highlands, Denver debut earlier this month on the ground floor of 1801 Central Street.

Though initially planned as a Denver outpost for the more casual CMR restaurant Rusty Bucket, Marcella’s finally made the cut for this LoHi location. David Miller, president and chief operating officer of CMR, previously shared that his group wanted Marcella’s to complement and enhance the neighborhood. Consequently Marcella’s tries to straddle the line between a casual and upscale dining experience.
