Marcello's Cucina Italiana: Reviews & Ratings
It was our last night in Sunriver after an incredible family trip to Ashland for shows and then here, for exploration and leisure. Our waiter was kind and knowledgeable and our meal was delicious and memorable. We ordered Osso Bucco, Salmon Picatta and the Mediterranean Calzone! Amazing! Of course, the wine, Tiramisu and Spimone were lovely!
We had a great night here! We enjoyed the specials (crab risotto and rib eye) as well as some regular menu items, all of which were great. The flavor profiles are unique and much more Italy than Olive Garden. Our server was fantastic, informative, and quick. The atmosphere is dark and romantic, flickering electric candles and all! The sleeper favorite menu item was the orange Italian cream soda!
This was our 2nd time at this restaurant. It's been a while since I had eaten Italian food. Everything we had at this place was just beyond delicious! The lady served us tonight I think her name was Hillary and she was was great. This is going to be a must go to places for us if we are in Bend again.
It's been a while since I've been to an Italian restaurant and I was hoping this would be a reason I would like to give Italian food another try since my last experience wasn't pleasant. I am pleased to say my experience with Marcello's was great! We ordered the Salmon Piccata and it was delicious! The house bread was also very good and in my opinion it was better than the Garlic Bread. The service was friendly and checked in with us at the right time for drink refills or food. We were very full and satisfied.
Jumbo shrimp for appetizer. Then Chicken salad with Capellini di Mare. Delightful and great tasting. We were lucky to get outdoor seating and enjoy the evening temperatures.
We went here for my husband’s Birthday. We had both wonderful food and service. I got the salmon piccata. The dish was super flavorful and nice portions.
We really liked this place. Everyone was very satisfied with their food. The eggplant was perfect and it’s hard to find well cooked eggplant. The berry salad was also really good. The service was excellent. We made a reservation and I would recommend you do the same.
My husband and I often visit Marcello's Restaurant for special occasions. We always choose to dine in the bar, with a mellow vibe, romantic lighting and jazz music. The bar is gorgeous, and Cory, a mixologist and great server. This midweek we utilized their small group room for a birthday gathering of nine people. Service was super, delivering drinks, then appetizers of cheesy bread and calamari, then fabulous meals at just the right speed. Their wine selection is endless, but the house red wine is super; I had cabernet sauvignon. Arrive at 4:30 for happy-hour pricing. Their salmon is moist, melt in your mouth fabulous. Others had very generous servings of chicken marsala, fettuccine alfredo, raviolis and more. We thank them for accommodating my small wheelchair. Marcello’s never disappoints. For dessert, we shared some Tiramisus, made in-house, that was superb. Thanks again to the staff.
