   My husband and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary with dinner at Marcello's Wine Café. It was phenomenal. Our server, Nathan, was interactive and pleasant. He loves his job and it was noticeable! There was a Happy Anniversary card on our table signed by the staff and that was really sweet. We had an appetizer of Barra which was AMAZING. My husband had the Peppers and Onions and I had the Chicken Picante' . Both were delicious. We had a sparkling wine...Spumante I believe, and we were treated to Chocolate Panna Cotta for desert. To close out the evening we each had a shot of Sambuca with Espresso Beans and said a toast to our 20 years, the next 20 years, and to our dear Italian Friend Maximo that recently passed away. it was a beautiful evening all the way around! We will be making this a regular dinner destination.

   Food was meh. Good service and a nice bar. Not the best Italian food I’ve had in Lafayette. Disappointed because it came so highly recommended.

   Always a nice place to dine. The meatballs and bolognese is an excellent choice. Pork masala is another great choice. We love this place!

   Chicken Molli was excellent as always, but the burratta appetizer wasn't nearly as good as before. Service was excellent. Didn't appreciate the random addition of over $6 with no explanation. I assume it was a credit card fee but it would have been nice to read about it or have been told.

   We got two appetizers the fried mozzarella with marinara and the olives, both were very good. For drinks we got the Lemon Basil Martini and Entrees I got the pork cheek marsala and my husband got the veal Palermo. For desert we got the chocolate custard. It was all excellent.

    Recommended by a colleague. Booked the reservation as a “business meal” so the maitre d’ should have had the forethought to consider: business person, expense account, potential repeat client. Instead, they focused on: one guest, stick him at a crummy table and concentrate on the tables with more people. Waited for almost an hour and the server returned to say, “Your order is almost done, should only be another 10-15 minutes.” When it finally arrived, the roasted asparagus was cold, the parmesan potatoes were hard, and the grilled filet was unevenly cooked and lukewarm at best. They have a soup on the menu called, Zappa D’Ieri, aka: “Yesterday’s Soup.” The meal they served me should appropriately be renamed: “Yesterday’s Asparagus & Potatoes with Warmed-Over Steak.” Or better, Il Pasto Dimenticato, aka: “The Forgotten Meal.” Got the dessert to-go: Anna Tutta Panna: “caramel pudding, vanilla whipped cream, amaretto, toasted almonds.” Got to the hotel and unpacked a plastic cup with 1/4” of liquid caramel, a tablespoon of runny Cool Whip and a few pieces of almond slivers. No pudding, no vanilla, no amaretto. It actually looked like someone chewed up a mouthful of “Anna Tutta Panna” and spit it into a plastic cup. And yes, I have the pictures to back it up. Overall miserable experience. Will never go back. Would never recommend. In fact, when I told my colleague about the experience, he apologized and said he would not go back as well.

    Visited for my birthday and the place did not disappoint. Service was spot, k did list it was a birthday on my reservation and even had a birthday card signed by the wait staff on my table when we arrived. Flow of everything was awesome with wine opening, appetizers, ordering dinner and service spaced out perfectly. Even provided a free dessert for the occasion. Will be back very soon.

    Sat in the back section next to kitchen door and bathrooms. A little loud back there. Our server was excellent. Chicken Molli was good but the sauce wasn’t as good as I remembered. Still one of favorite restaurants.

    Love the decor. Food was delicious and our waiter Chris was extra accommodating taking interest in our likes and creating an off the menu dish which was superb. And last but certainly not least was our delightful hostess Aimee. Aimee is a ray of sunshine and was very accommodating. 😊

    Food was delicious and wait staff was good. It took a long time, more than 1 hour, to receive our food after ordering. The wine list menu is an electronic board with the waiter. We were not able to peruse the selections and just ordered a glass of Chianti without knowing the price.
