The atmosphere created is one of quiet comfort in surroundings reminiscent of an Italian villa. The friendly and courteous staff, the outstanding food, and the efficient service all contribute to the ambiance felt by those who visit the restaurant.

Our server was very friendly and attentive. My wife ordered the Manilla Clams which were excellent and the Pistachio Encrusted Salmon which was over cooked. I ordered the Baked Rigatoni which was excellent.

If you’re seeking great food, great service and an energetic atmosphere Gabriele’s is the place to be! I had the veal chop with broccoli rabe and my wife had the bone on filet mignon with some mushrooms. Just sorry we didn’t take any pics. Delicious both visually and in taste. Can’t wait to go next time!!

We really enjoyed our dinner at Marcelo’s. We started with the roasted beet salad and the Italian Calamari. The calamari was amazing. The sauce was so good we used our bread to get every drop. I had the cod and my husband had the pasta with the short rib. Bother we’re very good. We had great and attentive service. We will definitely be back.
