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.

    We have been regular customers at Marcelo’s for many, many years. We love the food. Celebrated our son 18th birthday. This time however service was the main issue. Our waitress was not a very happy person. As my profession is focused on the hospitality industry, hospitality obviously is paramount. Issues - greeting to entire service was poor, unfriendly, what do you want type of attitude. Provided menus but not happy hour menu (had to ask for it). No conversations from her, did not fill our glasses with water, ask how we were doing, only 1 Parmesan shaker on a table of 8, did not clean up table with empty dishes so I gathered the plates, cutlery and garbage and took it to the counter by us to make room. No mention of specials or details when we questioned items on the menu. When it came time for me to order main dishes after ordering about 8 happy hour dishes she asked if the whole table knew what they wanted. I said I would think so but maybe you should ask them. Too many small details to include. Anyway end of meals we just wanted to get out of there and ensure our son had a good rest of day for his birthday. Got the bill which included the 18% tip but honestly not deserved at all. I guess the food for us was still good BUT next time we will do take out and eat elsewhere to enjoy.

    I was browsing tiktok to find an Italian place in Vancouver to celebrate my birthday when I came across a video about Marcellos. I went there with my friends last night and it did not disappoint. The food was great. The ambience was perfect for a celebration and our server was amazing. (Forgot to ask her name) 10/10

    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.

    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
