Drive by it.........

by Tomsngl at Citysearch

Sister and friends ate there about a week ago. Virtually nobody ir restaurant. Waited over 1.5 hours from time of ordering to time of getting food and they served 2 people first while other had a good wait. The served people waited to eat while food got cold. Others ordered well-done veal and FINALLY got their meals. All the veal was RAW inside, looked frozen. They took it back, one came back butterflyed and looked terrible and was not eaten. The other was still raw and she ate only tiny piece. At end of meal the capuccinos were almost cold. Place is dark and not too many customers and in fact lunch no longer served as of some time ago due to lack of customers. Minimal customer base would suggest that food cannot be fresh. I have eaten there once and it was mediocre. Best I can say is very poor service, questionable freshness, questionable cook skill, and few customers. You can judge, but my suggestion is to skip it.

Delish food, friendly service, beautiful atmosphere

by HAC at Citysearch

I have been visiting Marcellino's for years and have been impressed each and every time! The food is always delish... from the app to the dinner to the dessert. The staff is always willing to answer any questions. I have also tried some wonderful wines....

I would highly recommend...

Great to get dinner and then go see a flick at the Waltham theatre.... but be sure to leave plenty of time... you don't want to rush this experience!

• Pros: family friendly

Great food and atmosphere

by NLopez at Citysearch

Great food and atmosphere. Coming into the restaurant is so pleasant that is just like walking into one's home... Food is amazing. I have a few favorites but def. need to highlight the Lobster Ravioli and the Risotto alla Pestatora!!! Amazing... I promise you won't need to add any salt or pepper to your food there. It has the right amount of seasoning. Coming by yourself, with your significant other, or a big group you'll get the best service. This place will def. surpass your expectations!!!

• Pros: Best seafood in town!!!

A real family restaurant!

by laogao at Citysearch

My girlfriend and I go to this restaurant often because of the great food, the nice laid back (but classy) atmosphere and because it is a real family operated restaurant. I love the home made bread and the salami antipasto... also I recommend the linguine alle vongole and the tiramisu... and if you want to try something different ask for the "amaro del capo" liquor. The waiter told me they import it directly from italy.

It is just wonderful to see the actual owner of the place come around the check on things rather than like the usual corporate franchise eateries where everything feels so impersonal.

Prices are fair, but it can get crowded on occasion...

• Pros: authentic, food and service, ambience, piano!
• Cons: not close to T
