    Even on a very busy night, during Mardi Gras, the service and food was great just as we expected. The scallops are my favorite and the risotto was perfect. I just need to remember when booking to ask for a standard table. Love Marcello’s!!!

    Interior is a bit tired, could use some work. Started with mussels, smallest I’ve ever seen, more tomato than mussel. Three out of four entrees were acceptable, nine was a joke. Described as sausage and peppers with gnocchi, a total joke! Six or seven quarter size slices of sausage and a few slices of pepper. A total joke. This place is overrated, I won’t be back.

    Very nice Italian restaurant. This is a little outside of the main area of town but happens to be down the street from a few hotels, one of which we were staying at. The food and service were quite good and the menu has a lot of variety. We had a wonderful time and meal!

    The hostess at lunchtime on February 13th was not very friendly and welcoming. That's the only negative thing I have to say about our experience.
