    There were three in our party. The calamari was superb! Very light and crispy. We had the tomato basil soup, grilled cheese sandwich, spaghetti and meatball and veal marsala. All of it was excellent.

    We have had nothing but exceptional meals at Marcello's and this one was no exception. The wait staff knows exactly how much attention to provide and could not be more pleasant. I had the Shrimp Pepate and my wife had the bolegnese. They're our "go to" dishes and for good reason. The only negative would be the table location by the bar entrance. Just a bit to busy there. Overall, a great experience.
    Marcello's of LafayetteResponded today
    Thanks for the review, Burton! We're thrilled to hear that you had an wonderful recent experience at Marcello's. We love that our Shrimp Pepape and Bolegnese are your go-to dishes! We appreciate your understanding about the busy area by the bar entrance. We're constantly working on improving our guests' experiences, and your feedback is invaluable. We hope to serve you again soon!
