"We went during restaurant week so menu choices were limited, but I thought they represented the main menu selections well. Our appetizers of "Mussels in wine..." and "Penne ... with truffle sauce" were excellent with all the subtle tastes expected from their respective ingredients. For the main course the grouper was good, particularly with the medley of chickpeas, sweet peppers, tomatoes and leaks. The salmon with horseradish crust was scrumptious with just enough bite. Their sommelier provided us with excellent pairings from their wine list and as a special treat, we had a flight of desert wines to accompany the combination desert. It really "topped off" the evening. We will definitely return for their regular menu."

"Ever since he opened this fabulous restaurant 26 yrs ago, Marcello's passion & love for superb food & making his diners feel like family have been the hallmark of this gem. One can't eat better food, enjoy friendlier / better service, or be treated to a visit from the unassuming but always charming Marcello anywhere! His menu offers the best in familiar Italian fare as well as dishes unknown on the standard American menu, & some plates to please the less adventurous.

He insists on the best, genuine, & freshest ingredients for his kitchen & keeps himself fresh by semi-annual trips to Italy. His enthusiasm is boundless and it shows in every detail of this remarkable restaurant that I am lucky to live so close to!"

"We have enjoyed dining at Marcello's for a decade at least. We would never go north without stopping there. We know Marcello and the staff and we can say that the cuisine has only gotten better over the years."

"I went with 4 friends and I had such a nice time. It was fun, the food was delicious and the atmosphere couldn't have been nicer. Marcello went around to the tables and when he came to our table he answered all our questions and he was so delightful and fun. It was a wonderful experience."

"Our waiter offered us several specials, yet the women at the next table were offered additional specials. This is the 2nd time we have gone to Marcello's and we find that they are over rated and over priced. We didn't like the sauce that came with the meal and my portion was small. The entree sized eggplant rollatini (minus the ziti) was the same portion as the appetizer portion of eggplant rollatini served at DaNinna's down the street. We wouldn't eat here again if it was free."

"Marcello's is the best Italian restaurant in Rockland or Bergen Counties. Marcello cooks the meals himself and they are amazing and consistently of high quality. Dont be put off by the somewhat dated decor--this is sophisticated food of the highest quality. Great Italian wine list too."
