The ambiance is lovely in this quaint, romantic restaurant. The staff is very welcoming and the service is impressive. Each dish that we ordered was beautifully presented and was delicious.

Everything about the restaurant was perfect, the service, food,and cozy atmosphere.
I recommend the eggplant pasta dish 😉(forgot the name)
Tiramisu was perfect light and yummy/not too strong in sugar or coffee.
Me and my boyfriend went for the first time and will definitely be back to try more!

This was our first time visiting Marcello's. I was first turned off when they called to confirm my reservation and then told us we had limited time to dine with them because of reservations booked after us. When we left dinner less than half the restaurant was filled so they had plenty of tables. You should never make your customers feel rushed. They had plenty of tables. Our waiter was friendly. Our appetizers were good, but our entrees came out cold. The Italian margarita was not good at all nor were the scallops. They were very fishy. We most likely will not be revisiting this restaurant.

We had an absolutely delicious meal last Friday night! The short ribs were fabulous and our service was top notch. I would suggest the addition of some sort of green vegetable to the menu so that those of us who are trying to eat a well balanced meal can do that. The salad was tasty, but a side of spinach, asparagus, or broccoli would be a plus. We had a loud table of four next to us -so much so that the noise impeded our conversation a couple of times – not sure if that is typical?

This was our first vist to Marcello in that we normally dine at Del Porto's for Italian food. We were very impressed with everything about Marcellos. It is not perhaps as upscale / trendy as Del Porto's but in many ways the experience was just as good and perhaps in some ways even a bit more pleasant. As a couple, the noise level is such that it is easy to talk with each other, and the background music is very nice. The bottles of wine is quite unique in that you literally visit the wine rack and select your wine from a pretty wide selection. The Italian wines selection tends to be more at the higher price range for the selection they carry, but overall it is a broad range. The monthly specials are a good selection, and the standard menu was very good. Our server was knowledgeable and paced our orders well. The fried brussell sprouts were an excellent starter. One of us enjoyed the homemade Mama's lasagna which was very nice. We also ordered the seafood fettucine special which was also very nice. The fettucine itself did not taste homemade which was a bit of a disappointment, but the sauce and the assortment of seafood was very good. Although homemade pasta makes such a huge difference in terms of absorbing the sauce. We would certainly go back given the ambience, the service, and the food.

We had a wonderful dining experience here with our family. From start to finish, everything was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

Our server, Sydney, truly made the night special. She was amazing: humorous, warm, and refreshingly honest with her recommendations, which we really appreciated. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and was more than willing to make adjustments without hesitation, making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.

Great food, outstanding service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We would definitely dine here again and highly recommend asking for Sydney if you visit!

The food was delicious. Our group of 6 sampled lots of items and everything was delicious and got two thumbs up from everyone. The atmosphere is cozy and familial. The wine options are vast but not listed and not very organized. Requiring you to walk the racks and take time away from the table and impact the atmosphere of the evening. Please make a wine list. The service need more support role. Back wait, bus, or something. The server left us for long stretches of time with empty glasses and limited interactions. Their knowledge of the menu was basic and their knowledge of the wine and spirits was when less than that. There was effort and a warm attitude so nothing terrible. They just need the proper amount of wait staff to create something closer to fine dining and they need to take more time to educate the staff. We will be back.

Enjoyed the food, however, the tables are very close together and it often became very loud making it less of an intimate experience .

Mary Lynn

The veal molli was very good. The veal was very tender and tasty but the angel hair pasta was bland and dry.

Thomas

Marcello's is always consistent at a very high level. Always a wonderful meal with a great wine selection.

Cherise

Marcello's is one of my favorites. We had the veal Parmesan and it was amazing. Our server was great too.

Lawrence

All around great service, I had the short rib which was delicious and very tender, and my wife had the veal, which also was very delicious. We selected a bottle of wine from their inventory which is done personally at the racks so it gives you an opportunity to peruse all bottles. As I was making my selection I noticed the wine is reasonably priced, so you can enjoy a nice bottle of wine without overpaying. If you get the opportunity you won't be disappointed with Marcello's

Wonderful dinner! We love going to Marcello's & it had been a while since we went. My lasagna was fantastic. My husband's pork cheek dish was delicious too. We also had spiced apple panna cotta, that was nice.
