The food was mediocre, small portions and over-priced. The waitress told us we had to order appetizers & dinner at same time when we requested to order appetizers first & dinner later. Desserts consist of 3-4 bites & are not shareable. The goal seemed to be to turn the table as soon as possible even though there were several tables open the entire time we were there. We are a family of 4 & were in town for a graduation celebration. There are many good Italian restaurants in the area that you will be charged less fora much better meal.

My husband and I love Marcellino's. The food quality and people are simply the best. We love to treat ourselves to date night with this beautiful family owned business by sitting outside and enjoying a bottle of incredible wine. The pear salad is to die for. Beautiful owners who treat everyone like a VIP. Our favorite place to eat as Scottsdale locals.
