The pancakes and biscuits were good,, maybe that was because they were made of a sweet batter/dough. The service from server was all well. I assume the large guy walking around looking miserable was the owner. He did not smile, speak, give any eye contact, nor say thanks or goodbye when we left, walked around looking like he had an attitude and installing a security camera while the restaurant is open for business and people are eating at nearby tables, something that should be done during non operating hours. Don't let this place fool you because it is small, "quaint" and local, or because of other star ratings. If you are aware of quality food and supporting positive people you will want to try elsewhere! Happy Eating!

This was my first time back to marcello's in a couple of years. My first time there, my impression…read morewas "fine dining priced with okay food". I ordered the short ribs and felt it was tender... but dried out. So I hadn't gone back. Well I met friends for a "supper club" we created and my opinion was completely changed. I would give them 5/5 stars now. The best part of the night was great service lead by Ms. Sydney. She understood the menu, gave recommendations and clear explanations of how items were prepared, and was quick with a joke! I literally almost spit my water out laughing at one point!!! The wine selection was amazing and paired well with the entrees ordered. I have to give a disclaimer that, at our table was the person that distributed the liquor.... So he knew what bottles were the ones we had to have with our meals. The mixed drinks were great too. I had an espresso martini, but also tasted my friends's sazeracs and old fashions. All were great! I was pleasantly surprised when the bill came as we ordered several appetizers, drinks, bottles of wine, and dessert! My bill was way less than I anticipated given the amount that we ordered! I'd def come back and I'd probably request being put In Sydney's section!

The best Italian on the Northshore, period! The food here is consistently amazing. Everything on…read morethe menu is delicious, the wait staff are always gracious and helpful and they have a nice wine selection. My personal favorite is the lasagna and the beef short rib, both one of the best I've ever had and I don't say that lightly. The lasagna is simply incredible and I'm fairly picky about how I like it. It's a perfect balance of fresh pasta, red sauce, meat and cheese, then perfectly baked. The food is a perfect balance between elegant and well presented but not overly pretentious, genuinely well done Italian food . Generally how I feel about the place overall, you don't have to get overly dressed up as cocktail attire or similar is the norm. Reservations at least a week out or more are advised as they usually don't have many options last minute or if you walk in.

Outstanding food, atmosphere and service! I was a little worried when I visited with a group of…read moregirlfriends. I'm gluten-intolerant and thought the menu would be pasta, pasta and more pasta. Not the case! Our server, Shelby, helped me find a few really good choices and I went with the fish and grits (called something else on the menu). It was outstanding. Rich but not too rich. Large enough portion that I took half home. One friend had the fried chicken and raved about it. (Order early because it takes time.) Another had fried cheese ravioli Several had the Mac and cheese and everybody raved about their dishes. Took home some seafood-stuffed cornbread for my husband. The atmosphere adds to the experience. It's right in the heart of Historic Downtown Covington at the trailhead with huge windows and natural light. Really lovely! They were crowded (on a Tuesday night) but the service was great and the owner popped by several times to check that everything was okay. Already planning a return trip with my husband!

Nothing specific, just a lot of little things that kept it from being great. The restaurant was busy, but we got a table with no wait. Our waitress was trying hard but fell short. Watching other servers at the tables around us, I think she was new. Not a huge deal - everybody is a beginner at some point - but it diminishes the overall. The food was good but not great. Perhaps a little pricey, but not extremely so. Some of the old favorite menu items I expected to see were not on the menu, mainly the pasta & sauce & cheese stuff. Baked ziti is a personal favorite, and the only way it was offered was in a combo with other things. No ravioli except the kind stuffed with seafood. The lasagna and spaghetti & meatballs seem tacked on the menu like an afterthought. I didn't see any menu items that I can't get anywhere else. Stiff competition in this category - there are some very good Italian restaurants in Slidell. That said, Joe's definitely has the potential to be a solid 4-stars. It's a new location, maybe it was a bad night, who knows? I will certainly go back and give them another shot, so I recommend them. Go try it and see for yourself.

I had planned to have it for lunch the next day, taking time to crisp the edges in the air fryer before devouring the source of those smells - but alas, it was too great a temptation and I tried a small piece when I got home. Small, meaning like TWO OUNCES that had fallen apart from the main rib into the mound of pasta and chunky red sauce. Sliced garlic, chunky tomatoes, and the essence of beef all through it made for a pretty tasty side dish that I ended up giving to Tiff. I was saving room for the MEAT. So, that little piece that dropped off to tempt me was eaten and savored. It was soooo good. Still, I managed to save the rest of the rib for lunch the next day - I crisped that beautiful short rib up, as promised, and shared the pasta with Tiff - we had a delicious meal and both gave thanks for the food, for Leo and for Ashleigh, the awesome server who packaged the boxes up so beautifully and made sure we were well taken care of even though we took it home. Looking forward to my next visit to Leo's - short rib pizza anyone???
