Marcellino continues to uphold an excellent standard. The truffle pizza offered a refined balance of flavors and a beautifully prepared crust. The Calabrese provided a measured, pleasant heat, complemented by fresh, high-quality ingredients. Paired with courteous service and a welcoming atmosphere, the lunch experience was thoroughly satisfying.thank you marco joselito

Nice service, convenient location, great cheese pizza for my son…but the carbonara was terrible. Zero flavor. It didn’t even taste like a properly buttered and salted plain spaghetti. It tasted like nothing! The rigatoni was ok. Best part was the cheese pizza and tiramisu dessert.

We found the staff at Marcelino to be very friendly. My daughter’s penne al a vodka was absolutely delicious and the rest of us kept sampling it. My husband and oldest daughter had steak which was excellent. The cocktails were wonderful-we had a Negroni, Aperol spritz and an old fashioned. There was some miscommunication when I ordered salmon and they thought I said “same” as my daughter so they brought me steak, but they corrected. The salmon was good, a little more done than I like. Because of the mix up, they brought us an extra old fashioned on the house and tiramisu! They also didn’t charge us for our Aperol spritz. Nestor was our server and was so kind and accommodating. The location was great, right in the heart of Little Italy and near our Airbnb. The restaurant was cozy, the doors were open but heaters kept us warm. We would definitely go back.

We picked this place for my father-in-law's birthday dinner. I didn't expect the restaurant to be so cramped, but it seems that they push the tables close together in the back while leaving a large open space toward the front of the restaurant. About 15 minutes after sitting, a large party for a kid's birthday came in and was seated right behind us. Trying to speak to one another at our table while kids are running around us was less than ideal! I understand we had no idea that a large and loud party would be dining at the restaurant when we sat down and can't account for that. We asked discreetly to be moved to another table by the window that wasn't occupied and were given a half-hearted response that the table was reserved for another party, even though that party didn't arrive for another 30 minutes. No other attempt was made to move us. On top of slow service where we felt like we had to chase down the waiter to order and ask multiple times for items (like olive oil and pepper) that were given in advance to other tables. The food was good and hot, but not amazing enough to justify suffering through the experience we had. Quite disappointed for my father-in-law's birthday!

Dinner was delicious- the one downside was the entrance when we arrived no one really greeted us. A family was there who introduce themselves and provided recommendations. The steak melted in your mouth. That plate with sides so yummy. Had chicken parmigiana with pasta, very Italian food, once you taste steak, you don't want anything else. We enjoyed our dinner and the atmosphere. Once we ate we walked through little Italy and enjoyed the atmosphere
