About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Neighbourhood gem
Marcello Pizzeria e Ristorante is the best choice for an authentic Italian experience.
We combine old world Mediterranean warmth and sunny dècor with an inviting atmosphere that appeals to everyone!
Chef Marcello Lombardo - INSPIRED BY FOOD AND DRIVEN BY A DREAM
Born in the City of Delights, or more commonly known as Palermo, Italy, Marcello fell in love with cooking from a very young age. Influenced by the crystal clear water, the flavours of the culturally rich air and a little encouragement from his mother, he went on to receive professional training from Milan and owned a restaurant on the Adriatic Sea. Now for over 20 years he's brought his joy of Southern Italian cooking to Vancouver. Marcello's is a neighbourhood gem on Commercial Drive in the heart of little Italy set for any occasion.

    The pomodoro sauce was practically out of a can. Carbonara was good. Pizza was good. The entire restaurant smells of fish. The best thing was probably the cappuccino. Not authentic at all.

    Service was substandard. Waited a while to be greeted at tdd as blue. When server came she said “are you ready”. Not “Can I get you a drink”. We ordered drinks. Waited 10 minutes then server said they should be up in a minute. Came back 5 minutes later to take our order. Drinks not ready. All in all we were there 30 minutes before getting a drink. We ordered a salad to come before our entrees. After a long delay I bet my wife that the salad would come within 2 minutes of our entree. It was actually less than 1 minute. The server didn’t acknowledge this or apologize. (The Caesar salad was flavourless). After dinner we waited a while then server came by and asked if we wanted the bill. Not “would you like to see dessert menu” or “anything else”. Of course the lowest option for tip on the bill was 18%. 🙄. Really a poor experience.

    Really poor service… No one to fill glasses of water, nothing to use to serve salads amongst 6 of us. Had to ask for pepper. Waiter condescending Some food great, some food very uninspiring. Have come here for years, and found this evening quite disappointing.

    First time. Service was great. I personally was disappointed, the spaghetti bolognese was very meaty tasting and pasta was overcooked. It was a big portion. My husband had the vongole which did have a lot of clams but he was used to a cream sauce (should have read the menu!). He said it was ok. Not sure I would go back. I like the simple taste of Nook , even though the portions are smaller.
