    It’s a miss for us. Two of my guests literally spit out the chicken. We ate appetizers without plates and had honey all over. Used to be a favorite but something has happened to the food and service. Sharp decline.

    That chicken piccata was excellent, served with roasted potatoes. Chicken was very tender. Lasagna was made with sausage and also excellent. Ordered bruschetta but it was not bruschetta. It was garlic bread with marinara sauce. Nevertheless, it was very good. Salads were extra, which is unusual at an Italian restaurant. The tables are very close together, and you can clearly hear what the other people are saying at the next table. Fairly noisy restaurant. Servers are professional and friendly.

    One of the poorest experiences I've ever had at a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. I typically love the food there and service is always great but mediocre waiter (poor listening skills, all white wines are the same) and food made for a bad night.

    We were not a fan of the pizza - not bad, but it seemed somewhat dry. I notice that wine is not served in wine glasses - or some sort of non-stemmed, untraditional glassware for wine & I miss the specialness that I enjoy with a nicer wine glass Service was very good.

    We’ve dined at this location multiple times and have always been happy with our visit until this time. Our waitress was very rude and the food was just mediocre. First our appetizer the arinchni “fried risotto” came out completely cold in the center. Then when our entrees arrived my sons dish was prepared incorrectly and had to be remade. As my mother is digging into to her dish she takes a bite and ends up having to pull a massive hair from her mouth that was wrapped around a piece of her chicken. We informed the waitress and she immediately said she would remove it from the check and asked if my mom would like it remade, she declined but the waitress offered to give it to her to go and she accepted. The waitress then returns to the table to say she is ALSO giving my mom free dessert. So she picks something to go. We receive the check and my mothers entree is still charged on the bill. We ask the waitress why and she says because she gave her a free dessert. We told her to take the dessert back and remove the entree. She did not take the dessert but did remove the entree after arguing with us, never once did management come to check out the matter.

    We had the best time at Marcella’s. The food was fantastic, the service was spot on. Taylor accommodated us even though we had an extra member join our party and gave great service. Their appetizers are some of the best at any restaurant. We were there for a business dinner and it went off without a hitch. Loves our experience!

    We were seated promptly. Our server was great and had a good sense of humor! She was very attentive and gave us great wine and appetizers recommendations. Food was hot and tasty! Since it is an open room, it was a little noisy. The table spacing and seating was a little crowded in the area we we seated. Overall it was a wonderful dinner and we had a great time!

    We went to Marcello‘s for a family birthday celebration. Our waitress, Anna, was very attentive and prompt and friendly. The food was delicious and came out hot. There was just enough time to chat between the appetizers and main course. Our desserts were comped for the birthday celebration, and that was a very pleasant surprise!

    First time at this restaurant. Visiting on a business trip. Took a bit to get things ordered but it was worth the wait. Excellent appetizers and entrees. The group of 9 was very complimentary and enjoyed it. Maybe a little too noisy for my taste but hey, it’s an Italian atmosphere so socializing is part of the appeal.
