Service on a Sunday afternoon had alot to be desired, despite a full staff and not being very busy, refilling drinks and coffee when the drinks were still mostly full (and charging for the refill) poor timing in delivering the food to the table (Me and my grandson were done before my wife started eating). Great food and ambiance, though.

Marcellos was recommended to us by a friend. We actually drove up from Dover De for a late lunch. It was worth the drive. The pizza was delicious, and the ambiance was lovely. I mentioned to our server that it was our anniversary and he surprised us with a slice of cheesecake on the house. It was a great experience and will definitely come back.

Absolutely love this place! It's always the place we go for our birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. Even for the occasional drink after work, or dinners with friends. The food is phenomenal, and the pizza here and at Slice of Brooklyn are New York style perfection. As a transplant to New Jersey from New York, I was dying to find a place that had New York style food that I was used to. Marcello's absolutely fits the bill!

First time here. We had a 5:30pm reservation this past Saturday night. We were seated promptly in the back on the bar side. It looks like they also have a side room with more seating, booths, etc. Our waitress was pleasant & fast. Started off with the free bread. We ordered salad, pizza, chicken franchise & lobster ravioli. Everyone enjoyed the meals. We had sangria & wine too. It was my daughters 22nd bday & we ordered dessert. They brought it out with a candle & we sang happy bday. Very nice touch but I wish the dessert was comped. Also, they add 3.5% for credit card fees. Drives me nuts. Overall though great first time experience.

Marcello's is by far one of the prettiest restaurants in the area. They have a beautiful bar area with a roof that can open during nice weather. The food and service have always been very good. The pizza has a nice crisp crust, the wings are excellent, and we always enjoy whatever we try. Nice brunch spot too, like most of the restaurants in Bordentown.

Wow! We loved it! The service, the atmosphere and the food were all wonderful. We thought the antipasto salad we shared was terrific. My friend had the clam pie & I had the Brooklyn. I can't wait to go back!

I typically enjoy it here but my most recent visit was really disappointing. It's a very cool space, they open the front windows overlooking the street. They also have outside tables. It was super hot so we sat at one of the high tops. The menu is huge- pasta, pizza and sandwiches.Happy hour is from 4-6 with drink and app specials. Our server took our drink orders then they arrived 15-20 mins later. When they arrived she brought the wrong drinks. Instead of saying sorry about that she offered to remake it. No big deal accidents happen. The lemon martini was super sweet. More of a dessert cocktail if you like those. They have traditional or sticky calamari. We ordered regular with both sauces. The sticky sauce had a great flavor with a bit of heat. The calamari was way over cooked. We would have liked it better if it wasn't overdone. We also tried the Arancini. They were crispy and good flavor but only 2 to an order. Wish the waitress would have told us that when there were 3 of us. Pizzas were delicious. We really liked the white pizza. The sauce on the margarita was sweeter than I like but crust was great. After our pizzas were finished we had to wait another 20 minutes to get our bill. We got up to find our waitress who apologized and said she needed the manager. Still unsure why we only order a few things and it was all on the bill. We were the last people in the restaurant as they were cleaning up around us. Maybe just a slow night for the kitchen? Don't come here if you're in a rush or paying a babysitter.

A great meal is not just good food. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and very charming. A great start. And speaking of great starts, the Arancini, Italian egg rolls and the eggplant rollatini was fantastic. My Frutti di Mar excellent. We also had shrimp Oreganata, meatballs & sausage as well as a great Diabla pizza. Definitely coming back when in the area again.

Portnoy's 8.2 on Marcello's Trenton Tomato Pie is legit!! (For anybody who isn't aware, Dave Portnoy reviews pizza around the country, has a very big following, a huge influence on pizzerias, and is a very difficult scorer. 8.2/10 is a great score according to Dave's metrics and he prefers traditional bar pies.) This was the first time I've ever been to Marcello's and it didn't disappoint. We had reservations for a large party as we had a family event in town earlier in the day. When we arrived every seat at the bar was taken but the high tops around the bar were available. By the time we left the entire restaurant was packed which is a testament to the quality food, drinks, and service Marcello's provides. Our table for 10 was ready for us when we arrived. Our table ordered a few beers and my girlfriend and I had cocktails. The few people who had beer really enjoyed the Kronenbourg 1664 which was our servers recommendation. My Gin martini was very smooth and my girlfriend's specialty cocktail (a variation of a mojito) was very aesthetically pleasing. We both loved our drinks. We decided on ordering a bunch of pies to split between the table. We did 2 Trenton Tomatoes, a Brooklyn Style Margherita, a Diabla (spicy but delicious!), a Clam Pie, and a Trenton Tomato with Vodka Sauce. Every pizza we ordered was incredible. Great crust and undercarriage providing a pleasing crunch & chew without being burnt. Each pie was uniquely flavorful and we did not regret ordering any of them. My favorite was probably the Diabla, but if you're not a fan of heat this pie may not be for you. The table favorites seemed to be split between the Trenton Tomato and the Brooklyn style Margherita. I had a hard time picking between the two myself. Our server was actually incredible, but I forget his name otherwise I would have given him a mention. He was so kind. Was very helpful with his suggestions. Full of energy and passion for his job. He even asked what we were there celebrating and gave the special individual a complimentary dessert. My first time here was a big hit. It's unfortunate it's a bit of a hike for me otherwise I'd visit much more often. Everybody had a great time, and enjoyed the food and service. Props to Marcello's for checking every box that you'd use to measure a dining experience and a day out. They knocked it out of the park.
