Hands down - new favorite restaurant! I had veal piccata and hubby had molli. It was our first visit and we were treated impeccably. The food was absolutely perfect. The ambience was what I was hoping for. I’d recommend to anyone who asks.

The food TASTED awesome, I ordered the veal Marsala and was unable to chew or swallow the veal due to tough grisly texture. It was a luncheon that I was being treated so I did not complain. Instead I ate the topping (wonderful with lots of mushrooms) and acted as though I was full Service was amazing, we loved him abs he took very good care of our table

Marcello's is one of the best restaurants in Lafayette, hands down. My friends and I eat there often because of the food, drinks and service. Three of their dishes are my favorite dishes in all of Lafayette. (Chicken piccata, chicken parm, and shrimp pepate cannot be beat) It can be pricy, but what isn't these days?

We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and the evening was very nice and the dinner excellent. My husband thinks the Bolognese with meatballs are delicious. I had never tried the Pasta Di Bosch, it was so good and flavorful! We both had enough to enjoy for another meal! The potato and pea soup was a nice surprise as well. Marcello’s is our favorite for dining and special occasions! We will be there for NY Eve!!! 🎉🎉

Marcello’s one of my 2 favorite restaurants in Louisiana. This is the last time I worry about going there two nights in a row while in town for business. Selfishly, I hesitate to share this little gem of a dining experience. But they deserve the accolades. Dining alone while traveling for business, I am often sort of overlooked. This never happens at Marcellos. In fact, quite the opposite. Always welcomed. Never seated in a bad place because it’s just me. Food is superb. Service is a good balance of attention without feeling rushed. And the atmosphere is lively, but not loud. Can’t say enough. Wish I had the same in my home town. ❤️❤️
