Thank you so much for changing the lounge / happy hour locals menu. The steamers as an appetizer was perfect and my small plate dinner was absolutely what I wanted. Thank you again.

Had a birthday dinner there last night with family and it was delicious! Old fashioned Italian food, large portions, tasty, and authentic. The venue is dark and quiet, just as you'd expect. The service was world-class too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Had been there before had the pizza. Have craved it every since. Went there tonight hardly anyone in there. The service was terrible. What I ordered was wrong it came with peppers when I complained they took it to the kitchen picked the peppers off warmed it back up and served it back to me. Missing a pepper for proof besides the taste. While I didn't pay for it I was not impressed how long it took to get food on a quiet night and how poor the service was.

Fourteen members of my family had a special dinner at Marcello's and it was special only because of my family's goofy camaraderie. The service at Marcello's did not make the dinner special. My wine glass was empty for most of the 3 hour dinner (no exaggeration, the dinner took 3 hours). The server never checked in to take any more drink orders. Further, my entree was room temperature when it was finally served, and not very enjoyable due to the temperature. Lastly, our party was for 14 people, and they gave only three plates of bread - which was quickly eaten as it took forever to serve the salads. To add insult to injury, they added a mandatory 20% tip on the service. I usually tip 20% for good service. But, if I got service like this I would tip only about 10%.

Our experience at Marcello’s Italian Restaurant was very disappointing. We were seated in a dimly lit corner, which made it uncomfortable from the start. When we asked about the specials, the waitress provided a small handwritten sheet that was nearly illegible in the poor lighting. We even had to use a phone flashlight just to try to read it. The service was inattentive, and overall the experience fell far below expectations. We ultimately decided to leave without dining.

We had been here several years ago so decided to go again. Had the ravioli with meat sauce. Not a lot of flavor or spice. Not sure raviolis were handmade. Hubby had the pasta with spice meat sauce and that sauce was so much better than mine. Pleasant staff but seemed a little disorganized as to who was doing what. Hostess(?) was also checking on tables and took our desert orders. Then our server came and asked if we were interested in dessert. Lots of staff kind of overlapping each other. Caesar salad was ok...not a lot of flavor. But, whatever our experience was, the place was packed by 6 p.m.

Corey in the bar was great. The food was good and the service was amazing.

Pleasantly surprised! Seated quickly, great service, and tasty dishes (Caesar, ravioli, lasagna). Busy and a bit loud, but that’s expected from a local favorite since 1980.

Just the most incredible experience ever in this restaurant. This was our first time at Marcello’s and we were first greeted by Thad, the owner when we walked in; we were seated right away and the food was absolutely amazing! Every member of the staff was engaged in trying to make the experience great for my daughter’s 18th birthday. Amazing service; amazing food! The calzone I ate was one of the best I’ve ever tasted, can’t wait for my next time at this restaurant!
