Unfortunately, Marcello's is closing on Jan 23. We wanted to get there this week to experience once again the great food and service and support Marcello for all he has done for the community in the last 36 years.

The ambiance was so warm and welcoming, the service attentive and professional without being “too much” The food was an absolute joy.., everything we ordered was delicious. What a shame to see such a treasure depart the village. We wish the owner a well deserved retirement and the staff employment where they will continue to do what they do so we'll. Merry Christmas to all.

Delicious HANDMADE pasta. The taste is exquisite. The chicken was tender and easily cut with a butter knife. My husband had the pork and it was absolutely delicious!The food is excellent. They are not skipping anything here on taste. The bread is warm and has an amazing crunch. The tables are set with fine linen and China. The atmosphere is relaxing but fancy. The servers are accommodating and very nice and do not have a stuck up air about them. They are fast and professional. We parked on the street right in front of the building. I think there is more parking around the corner also. We came from NJ. The town is very cute to walk around also if you need to wait for a table.... it will be worth it.

I was looking for an Italian restaurant to carbo-load before a 1/2 IM race and this hit the spot. In addition to good ambiance and very friendly service.

Marcello's is always fabulous and is our go to restaurant for any special day or for no reason except to have a great meal. We were there most recently for Suffern Restaurant Week where he offered a very generous menu. My husband had escargot for his appetizer and I had the best salad I have ever eaten and I am a senior citizen, so I have had enormous experience with salads. Our entrees were delicious and Marcello's medley of four desserts is always a delight. The atmosphere and service were also excellent.

Great little spot. We have always loved it. It fell out of favor for a short while with us as they changed the menu and it wasn't the same high-level cuisine. But the current menu is fantastic!!! Really FANTASTIC. Best restaurant in Suffern and nearby areas.

Went to dinner 8/18/22 as part of Restaurant Week, with my wife. The food was delicious & the service was excellent. I had the meatballs topped with burrata cheese & it was perfect. My wife had the goat salad and she loved it. I had the panko crusted boneless pork chop with burrata cheese and vegetable farrotto. This was a combination of items I had never tried & found it to be a delightful experience. My wife had the horseradish crusted baked salmon & she also found the dish to be exceptional. Dessert was Marcello's four item dish, which consisted of fresh fruit, banana gelato, pana cotta & tiramisu. It was the perfect topping to two memorable meals. It's a pity Marcello's will be closing in February. Such a fine dining experience will be sorely missed.

Intimate dinner with extraordinary food! We ordered the prosciutto fig and gorgonzola appetizer and for dinner the spinach ravioli. The flavors ? were absolutely amazing!! Waitress was attentive and very helpful in making recommendations.
Cosy, quaint, inviting, welcoming, professional and friendly establishment, conviently located, less than a block away from the New Jersey Transit Rail Station and the Coach USA bus stop.I would have given them 5 stars however, there were quite a few gentlemen loitering in front. I prefer not to have to excuse myself upon entering a business.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful meal. Upon entering, the owner was extremely friendly and made us feel special. The bartender was great and assisted in us in making excellent food and wine choices. The food was delicious and we would definitely return!

Went there for nephew's HS graduation. The service was really poor and they were busy! Waiter forgot my sister-n-law's iced tea and her appetizer. When we said something, our inners were coming out and then they brought the appetizer! My veal parm was just so-so. Very pricey and this time nit worth it I know Marcello is selling the restaurant but he needs to keep up the quality and service. Next time my family suggests we go there, I'm going to tell them I ant to go to a different restaurant.

Terrific, friendly, service and lovely ambience. Strolling violinist was a surprise treat! We had short ribs (great), pasta a la vodka (yum!), and Marcello's is the only restaurant to actually serve gluten free pasta al dente, so it was deliciously firm and tasty. We had wonderful Irish Coffees as well. Overall, this was a great dining experience!
