Go to Mercellino where the owner is arrogant and the food is over-priced. When you first walk in you think you are in Italy, except no one is there. Do you have a reservation ... ahh the restaurant is empty - do I need one? The home of "home made pasta," the this the, that.... Forget it. The owner is... more

The atmosphere at Marcellino is beautiful. While it is in a strip mall on the border of a very mediocre area of uptown Phoenix, it is also near some nice resorts. To start, the outdoor patio area is very cute and comfortable looking. From when you walk in, the service is excellent. Everyone is very pleasant and very attentive to... more

We are regulars at Marcellino's and have never had a bad meal there. The atmosphere is charming and the food is fabulous. Our favorites are the pear salad, pocatelli, gnocchi, and pollo saporito. For dessert the tiramisu is good but the homemade pana cotta is to die for. After dinner ask the waiter to try the Marcellino's homemade lemoncello. Enjoy! more

Foodies beware - you can become addicted. Chef Marcellino has developed pastas that make me swoon, with tastes so interesting, rich and enjoyable that it's the food version of a fine wine. Yes, the food is pricey - and worth every penny IF you enjoy great qaulity, creativity and culinary adventure. The "specials" are off-menu creations by the chef and... more

I'm very surprised to read in the last review that anyone walked away with a less than amazing dining experience at Marcellino Ristorante. My husband and I were blown away by the five star food and service from our first visit and have been dining there regularly for nearly three years since. The food, atmosphere, and people are incredible! A... more

Well it started off as a casual dinner someplace new with an old friend.... we picked Marcellino's, what a mistake! The wine and food are terribly over priced (our check for two people = $130, not including the tip), the server tries desperately to sell only the most expensive items on the menu's. We ordered the special appetizer, Caprese wrapped... more
