    The mussels were not very good- very tuff and the sauce left a very peppery taste. The cost was very high for the quality of what we received. The pasta dishes had a good sauces and the fresh noodles were good. The portions were large and we could not eat them all. Would have appreciated knowing a smaller portion was available. The place was pleasant and the service was exceptional. The real issue was the costs. We did not have anything with meat, just pasta and sauce, mussels we could not eat and a beer and and gin and tonic and the bill was over $100. Given the quality of what we received, we probably will not return.

    Our food was great but the service was S-L-O-W. We’ve experienced this before at Marchitelli’s. I don’t know if they’re understaffed or if the servers are just pokey.

    Marchitelli's, just off Harmony Rd, is a wonderful, locally-owned restaurant that deserves a visit if you haven't been there. Everyone was professional, the food was exceptional, and it's a good place to relax and enjoy happy hour or a wonderful meal. Highly recommend!

    Nice ambiance great service. The recipes are unusual for an Italian restaurant. Very heavy, lots of cream, and not an authentic marinara. Pleasant place but the food’s not my style.

    Overall very expensive, especially $14 glasses of wine! We ordered classic dishes at what is currently a reasonable price but thought the food only okay. My side was cooked spinach (weird and not my favorite) and my husband thought his lasagna was more cheese than anything else. Their concession to it being a special occasion was to give us a booth rather than a table - no free dessert, etc. We thought it was okay but probably wouldn’t go back.

    It seemed to take an abnormal amount of time to get our main entrees and it took a while for anyone to come back to see if we were ready for our check or wanted desert, which we did. Otherwise, I love this place and will certainly come back. The food is great and the people are very nice.

    We eat at Marchitelli’s often. Our favorites are the amazing stuffed mushroom appetizer and the eggplant parmigiana with steamed spinach for our entree. The portions are huge, the eggplant is well prepared and we consider it the best we’ve ever had. The marinara sauce is very well flavored. All the staff takes very good care of us. Highly recommend.

    The 24-yr-old in our party expressed early on “Nice spot.” Everyone (ages ranging from 20s to 40s to 50s to 70s) agreed the food was awesome. Unfortunately the service was slow and, ultimately, aggravating. Perhaps it’s a case of insufficient staff. Hard to tell. But it put a damper on the evening.

    Two of our party enjoyed their meal enough to go back. Two of us had seafood lasagna and were really unimpressed. Overcooked seafood in a mostly cream cheese base. Salad and garlic bread with Parmesan were highlights for everyone.

    Wow, what a find. You can't beat their lunch deal value. $12ish dollars for all this... You are served a nice basket of warm. soft, bread with a great crunchy crust and garlic butter as you look over the menu of quality dishes. Lunch dishes include a Caesar salad with a unique house made dressing that is light, incredibly packed with flavor and nicely seasoned croutons, or go for the house salad packed with a variety of toppings. My favorite is the incredibly tender, palate, pleasing Chicken Piccata, and instead of a pasta side, I get sauteed garlic spinach. There is a must visit beautiful bar and an even greater choice of delicious dishes for dinner. This is my go to weekly lunch place!! The servers are all amazing too!

    If I owned this business, I would want to know this; 1. We've been to the restaurant several times, and the food has been excellent. Last night the food was below average. 2. I didn't feel the service was subpar. I told the waitress that we had a coupon, and she said she would take care of it at the end. When we received the bill, the discount wasn't applied, and she made a negative remark that she didn't know we had a coupon. 3. We figured it was an off night.

    The ambiance was not Italian at all. Our waitress was too busy chit chatting instead of taking care of our needs. Everyone who came in after us was served before us. My wife really enjoyed the food she ordered but mine did not taste good. It had way too much Ricotta cheese in it taking away the flavor of the seafood and sauce. I ordered a side of noodles with alfredo sauce and it cost an extra $18. Way too expensive for a side. Overall I was not pleased with the restaurant.

    I had a Veal Picata and the sauce was terrible---a heavy cream sauce--it should have been a light buttery/lemon/caper sauce. We had a mussel appetizer---fair portion of Green Lips but the mussels were about 3/4 done (semi-raw) and would not release from the 1/2 shell as they were served--also huge amount of light watery juice. My wife had a seafood dish which was reasonable but she was disappointed in all the clam and mussel shells, again the Green Lips were underdone and would not release. from the shell.

    Incredible dining experience! Have been attempting to go to this restaurant since it opened but my wife and my schedules didn’t allow us to meet the schedule it’s open for. We even had an issue with my wife being served the wrong meal and the staff promptly took care of the issue at no charge. Waitress was incredible! I highly recommend this establishment! Food is a bit pricey but not for the quality or quantity you get. I’ll be back again.

    I had the Sicilian Seafood Pasta. It was fabulous! I couldn't believe the amount of seafood in it. I have never had that much in a pasta dish. My wife had the Elk Scaloppine which she loved. Jared our waiter provided excellent service and constantly checked on us to see if we needed anything. We also had the pleasure of the manager stopping by and seeing if everything was alright. I highly recommend Marchitelli's for any occasion.
