    This is a repeat dining experience for me, always consistently good. They have a great selection of wines and the menu offers great variety. Excellent appetizers and a top notch Caesar salad too. Service is very competent. They make you feel like a guest who is appreciated.

    If you’re looking for a solid place to have an anniversary dinner, Marcello’s in Lafayette is a great choice. The vibe is just right—not too fancy but still classy enough to make it feel like a special night out. The menu is full of solid Italian dishes, and they don’t skimp on quality. Their pasta is homemade, and the seafood is fresh, so you’re not just getting the standard fare. One of the best parts is their wine list. They’ve got a great selection of bottles, so if you’re into wine, you’ll have plenty of options to pair with your meal. Plus, the staff knows their stuff and will give you recommendations if you need them. Service is on point—attentive without hovering—and that helps make the night feel relaxed and enjoyable. It’s the kind of place where you can have a really good dinner and enjoy the evening without feeling rushed. It’s a good spot if you want a nice meal, good wine, and a chill atmosphere for a special night with your partner. Seth and the entire team made our anniversary special.

    Food is always top notch but what puts the icing on the cake is the wonderful service. Stephen, or uncle Steve as my daughter was calling him by the end of the meal, was wonderful!
