Pretty darn good. We have the squid ink pasta with lobster and a mussel appetizer. Paulo was our waiter and she was super nice. Can't wait to go back!!
The food is excellent! The service is so knowledgeable and helpful and attentive. Everything you could ask for. The owners are there and come to the table... amazing! Can’t recommend enough!
If you happen to visit Scottsdale (AZ) and you are in the mood for pasta, I highly recommend stopping by Marcellino. They offer a variety of very interesting an unique fresh made pasta. Before ordering, please ask your waiter to tell you about the various pasta offerings of the day, you cannot go wrong. They also have a nice selection of wines and some excellent cocktails.
Amazing food, pasta was cooked perfectly. Service was very good. Our server knew the menu very well and was able to make great recommendations. He was attentive but not intrusive. Prices are reasonable for a higher end restaurant. We sat on patio but inside look very warm and comfortable. On Saturday night , when we were there, they had a singer performing with a small band.
Nice ambiance in downtown Scottsdale right by the canal. The food is very good and the service as well, however, I would check the bill at the end as ours had a wrong item instead of what we ordered. You get some warm bread with red pepper pasta at the beginning which is very nice . The cocktails are amazing and the food delicious. We tried the lentil soup as well, highly recommended, as well as the desserts that came with a small flame for the effect.
Starting from the phone call for reservation, Melanie was so nice at getting our table reserved for our party of 4. When we arrived our friends were already seated in the patio as we walked in Melanie was there and with a smile she welcome us to Marcellino’s. I then said we have a table for 4 and I told her my name. She then said your party is waiting, follow me. She took the time to take us all the way to our table. That is GREAT customer service. Our waiter was always on point. He recommended us the best dishes in the menu including drink and deserts. He was awesome! Everything was amazing! Thank you for a great dinner service!
After two weeks in Italy, we weren’t thrilled to be going to an Italian restaurant. After all…BUT what an incredible surprise. The food was the best Italian food we’ve ever had, including what we had in Italy. It is hard to explain how delightful the hand made fresh past was. I was particularly fascinated with the pasta infused with things like truffles or cheese or filet mignon. No, I don’t mean the sauce, I mean the pasta. And not only was the food fabulous, the ambiance was amazing, the lighting, music, servers, all contributing to a culinary experience to be remembered. This isn’t your average Italian restaurant. It is a moment.
Had dinner last night and it was amazing!! Our waiter Trenton was just wonderful and truly made our experience! We both had the Chef special pastas and they were delicious as promised. I hope to return again. Thank you Chef and Trenton for making our night out one to remember.
Stopped in for a cocktail and appetizers. Alan, the bartender, was very nice, provided a ton of info. We enjoyed the Buffalo Mozzarella Tomato salad and Mussels. The Mussels could of used a bit more seasoning / robust broth, but good. All the pasta and ravioli is homemade, see picture, looked amazing, we didn't stay for dinner but the plate of homemade pasta is enough to make me go back! Chef owned and operated, he even came over to check on us. Perfect patio in the shade, add this to your list!
Exceptional food! We were greeted by one of the owners at the door and she was very welcoming. Our server was knowledgeable and explained what was in each of the handmade pasta options for the day. It was so nice. All 4 of us got something different and everyone really enjoyed their meals. Looking forward to the next time!
When I visited Marcellino RistoranteI I felt I was transported to Italy. The decor is beautiful and inviting, topped off by a flowing water feature. The food is fabulous, from our mixed greens salad to clams linguine and our complimentary biscottio dessert. And because this place was bustling on a Wednesday evening, we sat at the bar and were introduced to their fine cuisine by our transplanted Italian bar tender. I highly recommend Marcellino!
Antonella, is awesome!! Very knowledgeable and attentive. This place is a cozy family owned restaurant. You can't go wrong with some good guidance. The specials are great! The food is great! You can't go wrong. If you are looking for great Italian... This is it!
