Food was great and ambiance wonderful. Need to slow down and not rush courses so much and don't ask to take plates away when one person is still eating. Young staff not so well trained, but overall an excellent restaurant.

Terrible experience. First I don’t like it when the waiter insists on taking the full order as soon as you sit down. All that does is allow them to prepare ahead and the food sits in the back under warmers. Our table ordered an appetizer which they forgot and was only prompted because the salad came out instead. Also I ordered a small plate and salad to be served as my entre. Of course it showed up with the other salads. I had shrimp that was fishy and rubbery. Polenta way over salted. Food not hot. Sent it back. Another had Pasta too soft. Sauce tasted burnt. Wait staff didn’t know what they were doing. Serving to wrong people. To top it off restroom line so couldn’t use it. All in all a tourist trap. Won’t go back.
Marcellino RistoranteResponded on 9 November 2024
We apologize for serving you incorrectly and we take responsibility for our mistake. We ask for all items to be ordered at one time so when your server picks up the plates from one course, they notify the kitchen immediately to begin to prepare your next course, as our dishes are individually cooked for each guest. It is never prepared ahead of time "sitting under a warmer". In regards to all of your other negative comments including that someone was in the restroom ahead of you, we are sorry you did not have a good evening.

Our food and our waiter was excellent - only complaint I have is that we explained we didn't want to be rushed and prefer to order our salad etc. one at a time so we aren't rushed and Carlos told us chef prefers we order all at once but it will be spread out. This wasn't the case
