Chef Marcello Lombardo - INSPIRED BY FOOD AND DRIVEN BY A DREAM
Born in the City of Delights, or more commonly known as Palermo, Italy, Marcello fell in love with cooking from a very young age. Influenced by the crystal clear water, the flavours of the culturally rich air and a little encouragement from his mother, he went on to receive professional training from Milan and owned a restaurant on the Adriatic Sea. Now for over 20 years he's brought his joy of Southern Italian cooking to Vancouver. Marcello's is a neighbourhood gem on Commercial Drive in the heart of little Italy set for any occasion.

    The waiting at the door was horrible even there is a reservation system. Service was really poor, waiting 50 minutes to just sit there and all the food came together including the appetizers and main. It was very loud in the restaurant we can barely hear the waitress either. Food was decent but overall not the best experience.

    Fabulous, as always. The front door staff are amazing and gave us the requested table outside 15 mins before our reservation. Our server was friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and pretty much perfect. The food...fabulous. Marcello never let's us down and it is always worth the 45 minute drive.

    Food was excellent. I come here every few months for the grilled calamari LOVE it. We shared the caesar salad and calamari amongst the 4 of us. Then, we shared a large pizza, carbonara and marina with meat sauce. All excellent. This time I had to share the calamari with my dining friends. A little noisy. Tables a little cramped, as the diner behind me was bumping into me, every time he had to get up and out. Service very good. Will always come back for the grilled calamari

    Our server (Lauren) was fabulous! The pasta unfortunately was very dry, like it was sitting under a heat lamp. The chicken parm was just ok - heavy deep fried flavour with a weak tasting sauce. Price was ok - would have preferred a smaller serving, better quality for what we were charged. Based on what we saw on other tables - I think the pizza would be delicious so will go back for pizza abs leave the pasta to a higher end Italian restaurant. Great vibe though and very satisfied otherwise.

    Love Marcellos! The Gnocchi is the best in the city. Consistent, delicious and always a favourite. The service is prompt, thoughtful and friendly. The pizzas are made fresh, fast and tasty. The toppings are plentiful. Special orders...no problem. Gluten free...they have something for you. A classic Vancouver restaurant that should please everyone who decides to dine there.

    I had a reservation for 9pm, I didn’t like how I was seated in the very back end corner of the outside patio and the seat was right up against the glass outer which made it feel really tight. I like how the heat lamps are outside but it was way too hot I was getting a migraine and I asked for it to be turned off which our server did but then it was too cold which is also why I didn’t want to sit outside but I wasn’t even given an option. Service wasn’t really attentive being in the corner also and the food took extremely long

    You can find this gem on "the Drive" a.k.a Little Italy. May locals have memories of visiting this place with their family and friends. It's still a great place for groups and no one can deny that they have legendary Neapolitan-style wood-oven Pizzas! We have a delightful and filling time!

    Still a pretty good restaurant after all these years. Crispy bread tasty. I think the cannelloni sauce was lemony? Great Caprese salad. Disappointed no 50% wines Monday as advertised but understandably, it is Thanksgiving.

    Food was brilliant especially the carbonara. Service very poor. Server did not come back to the table after taking our order and dropping drinks down. We were never offered a second round of drinks or desserts. Disappointing especially considering this was a birthday meal and it was not mentioned by the host or server. Again food was great but service was very very poor.

    Normally, I would give this great pizzeria restaurant all 5 ⭐️ but I was disappointed this time. Granted, it was packed inside and out on the patio so the staff were very busy. I had made reservations, too. I just felt really rushed to give our order and to eat. It was a birthday celebration so I was hoping for a more relaxed dinner. The salad verde was not as delicious as usual but still good. Calamari and calzone were great. Portions are generous here.
