Best Family Style Restaurants in Trumbull

We love this place in the summer. The windows and doors are always open, eliminating the intense noise level you fave in the old months with all that shut. The service was good! The food was mediocre. I had a salad with salmon, and my husband had a steak salad. Portions were just enough. My salad, while good, was not a $21 salad. It was lettuce, with dried cranberries and some gorgonzola cheese. There was supposed to be apples on it, but I didn't see any, then an overcooked piece of salmon on top. That's it. Drinks are another topic entirely. I ordered a "holiday special" margarita. The first drink was alcohol laden. Almost too much so. The 2nd tasted entirely different and was heavy on the lime juice. Neither was good, but at $12, I didn't expect a lot. Bottom line - great for a quick bite, a large party, or a young crowd. If you are looking for a date night restaurant and are over the age of 45, skip it and try it for lunch in the summer months.

A gem. Every time we go it’s excellent. Wonderful food, ambience .The owner makes sure he visits every table to chemo on the food and have a brief chat. We go once a week. Yes, a hidden gem.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Marcelo’s. We started with the roasted beet salad and the Italian Calamari. The calamari was amazing. The sauce was so good we used our bread to get every drop. I had the cod and my husband had the pasta with the short rib. Bother we’re very good. We had great and attentive service. We will definitely be back.
