Wow ... way overpriced for the food... service was ..well not so good....dont waste your money...a one time tourist might go for it but not a local .....called on the phone to get a resevation... they were rude...Melody?? or Melony?? will not be comming back....

Marcellino is an amazing restaurant. They accommodated a special request for us and created a made-to-order fettuccine served with a sauce with a bit of spice to it and scallops prepared to perfection. The pasta was fresh, firm and delicious. The wine list had all my favorites and the mousse was heavenly. Scott, our waiter, was attentive without hovering and took very good care of us. We would absolutely recommend.

I have lived in NYC and Chicago. I have travelled extensively. Marcellino's is as good as any restaurant I have ever dined at, including places such as Au Duc du Richilieu in Paris, France; La Grenouille in NYC; La Cote Basque also in NYC; any restaurant in Little Italy in either NYC or Cleveland, OH; Rosebud's in Chicago, you get the drift. The food is great. The pasta is fresh and homemade, the service staff is attentive and informed. The wine list is outstanding. The atmosphere is very intimate. A real treasure!

I have traveled all over the world and I would rate the food up there with any Italian food I have ever had. Anytime I am in Phoenix it will be at the top of my list.
