Every time I make plans for a trip here it is a MUST. Food is excellent and I travel all over this planet and Marcellino’s is among the best of the best. If you want a real treat sit at the bar and enjoy the company. Fantastic!

                                                            Having walked past this restaurant for several years my wife and I finally tried it. A great experience. We’ve visited around the United States many similar Italian restaurants, and have always been happily pleased. Marcellino‘s did not disappoint. The food was excellent. As this was lent, my wife did not have any alcohol, but their wine selection appears very agreeable and the menu selections were very good. My veal and my wife’s mussels were excellent as were our salads.  sadly the octopus was a disappointment! We’ve had octopus in Greece and Spain, and in various restaurants in the United States. We’ve prepared it ourselves and know how difficult it can be. But tonight‘s was not up to par! Maybe the chef had an off night. It was either not steamed long enough and/or hot grilled long enough, and it was TOUGHER than leather. Beautiful presentation but undercooked. Nevertheless, I would certainly recommend this restaurant, and we will most likely be back! Service was very good
