    Nutella Ravioli
    Kaitlin B.

    My family was very sad when Carl Anthony's closed, but we are very happy that it became Marcello's. My husband and I decided to try it last night and it definitely met our expectations. Many of our favorite dishes are still on the menu, with the addition of the Cheese Wheel Pasta - our new favorite, and many others. It was so tough to choose only one dessert to share because we were so full from dinner and couldn't eat two. Ha ha! It's rare for us to find a place with more than two options we would choose from on a regular basis. The Nutella Ravioli was the perfect dessert. Our only suggestion...add some strawberries on the side. The Nutella can be a tad too sweet (at least for me), and some slightly tart strawberries would even out the flavor. The service was a little slow, but they were understaffed last night, so it was understandable. The staff was very kind and smiling the entire time. Loved the new look inside, especially the deep federal blue walls. When we are in Monroe, we'll be stopping in, for sure!

    Pappardelle with short rib ragu & burrata

    Everything was exceptional here! Sat at the bar, which was cozy, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Mia, our server, was attentive, personable and helpful with dinner recommendations. Our party had the antipasto board, zuppa di pesce, pappardelle (short rib ragu & burrata) and the linguini with clam sauce. Hearty portions that were SO fresh and delicious and, the drinks were excellent too! Will absolutely return!

    What an incredible Italian place. If you are looking for a made to order family recipe place this is it. We had the Chef 3 Cheese and sweet & spicy calamari for appetizer. 100% recommended. Each cheese brought a new explosion of flavor. The calamari was fried to perfection and tossed in the most incredible sauce. You can tell how fresh it is. Both one of a kind. For dinner we ordered the gnocchi and zuppa di pesce. The gnocchi you can tell is made to order and the zuppa di pesce was over flowing with fish and flavor. For deserts we ordered the donuts and cannoli Service was great and not rushed. Atmosphere was beautiful and very clean bathrooms. We visit often and are never ever disappointed.

    We dined at Marcello's Italian Eatery for the first time and had their Brunch Buffet. They have brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30am to 3pm. There were many options and everything was delicious. The restaurant is super inviting and cozy. When you first walk-in, you see the bar and the dinning room is tucked away on the left-hand side. The buffet had French Toast, Sausage, Bacon, Hash Browns, Egg Benedict, Porchetta Roast, Chicken Valdonstana, Salmon Puttanesca, Penne Alla Vodka, Caesar Salad & Autumn Salad. There was even an assortment of desserts from Cannolis, Biscotti, to Pastries. Some of these items are chef's choice and maybe a different line up meats & entrees when you visit. Our server took great care of us and helped identify what foods to avoid at the buffet because of my nut allergy. The penne alla vodka was our most favorite & the salmon was delicious. I loved the chocolate biscotti & cannolis too. We could, of course, go back up to the buffet for seconds, or thirds. Marcello's Italian Eatery is a great spot for any occasion. A great date night or brunch date idea if you are near or love in the Monroe area. I would love to come for diner next.

    Yes!!! The potatoes are beautifully presented and the steak was ordered rare came out perfectly! Reel coming soon on IG: @clinkdrinkeat.ct

    This place is about an hour away from me, so I didn't expect to want to go back. But I'm happy to say I was wrong and will definitely be returning! I was so impressed with everything we had, including some of the best calamari I've ever had! My salmon entree was richer and heavier than I typically go for, but it sounded so interesting I had to try it, and I loved that too! The steak was medium rare as requested (or rare, now I can't recall but it was cooked as ordered). Everything was beautifully presented so it made you want to capture photos of it all, even if you're not a huge foodie like some of us. LOL The space is clean and warm and inviting, and the staff and owners are helpful and knowledgeable and friendly! I can't recommend this place enough! If you are in the area, or willing to drive for a fabulous meal, get here! On Sundays they also have half price bottles of wine, they also have brunch which I can't wait to try one of these days. We all loved our entrees and made sure to order different things to get variety and see what this spot it all about! Go support this small business! They also have live music, happy hour, trivia nights...they've got it all! Oh, and delicious dessert drinks. A bar, tvs, a great patio, need I say more? See my reel on ig: @clinkdrinkeat.ct and give me a follow!

    A different twist on chicken marsala.  6/21/23
    Rich B.

    Ok, I WAS JUST HERE THE EVENING BEFORE for a Yelp Elite event on June 20th. So impressed was I with that event that I had to detour off I-84 on my way home from NYS. I went back for the Italian Calamari and for some of the same chicken served at the previous day's event. I was planning to take everything home, and just have a beer at the bar. They didn't have the same chicken, so I ordered chicken marsala. Quick change of plans. Had the Italian calamari on-site. I really like calamari, but Marcello's prepared it in a way that I've never experienced before. No marinara, no grated cheese. Instead, in a balsamic vinegar reduction with peppers (banana?). Everything coated in a superb glaze. The huge portion (easily enough for two, unless you're a gavone like me) justifies the $19 price. The chicken marsala was enough for two meals. I'm a huge fan of ch marsala, and NEVER had it prepared this way. In addition to the marsala wine reduction and the mushrooms, there was also evidence of tomato chunks. Not alot... just the right amount to entertain my taste buds. Plus two large, homemade raviolis, stuffed w mushrooms. Someone in that kitchen has got some serious skills!!! I wish Marcello's was closer than 67 miles away.

    Cavetelli rapini

    Marcelo's is a solid restaurant for an Italian meal in Monroe. The specialty sangria was refreshing and tasty. The bread and garlic on the table was scrumptious. My pasta dish- with the crumbled sausage, beans, and broccoli rabe (cavetelli rapini) was absolutely amazing- very filling, plentiful, flavorful - it's one of my favorite pasta dishes and this one didn't disappoint. My one complaint is that I wish there was another fish dish on the menu besides salmon. The menu is not abundant. It's Simple and I'm sure everything is cooked wonderfully. I just went in thinking I'd get fish but I don't love salmon... No apps, no dessert- 5 drinks total (2 people), and 2 pasta dishes, came to about $120. Foodie instagram @date_night_craves

    Great menu for happy hour! There are many small bite and drink options (even espresso martini deals!). I tried the meatball sliders and bruschetta. Both were a great size for the price and very tasty. The marinara sauce was a bit sweet for my liking but still good. The bartender was nice and served me quickly. The bar area does have a tv and is a decent size with high top tables as an option as well. The restaurant decor and set up itself was not anything special but it was very clean and sort of classic white table cloth Italian dining room.

    We had a good dining experience at this restaurant. I had the bone in veal chop served over carrots and spinach. My girlfriend had the homemade pappardelle. Both of our meals were absolutely delicious. My veal chop was cooked perfectly and the veggies were very good. The homemade pappardelle was delicious according to my girlfriend. For dessert we had the donuts which were a perfect way to end our meal. The donuts were served with some gelato and Nutella. When you dipped the donut in the Nutella with the ice cream; it was a perfect bite. The service was pretty quick and efficient. At the time we went to dinner it was early so the restaurant was not packed. They have a bar area with some dining and live music along with a regular dining room. We sat in the dining room area. The dining area probably needs a bit more light, it is a bit dark but overall we enjoyed our experience and will go back to try other items on the menu.

    Marcello's in Monroe is in a major shopping mall on Main Street. It was fun to attend my first elite event, and as we entered, everyone was welcoming. The live band sounded amazing and played some great songs. I had the watermelon spritzer which was really good. We had roasted garlic, crostini bread, olive oil, bruschetta, and stuffed mushrooms and then I had to leave early unfortunately. Thank you Alex, Yelp and Marcello's for coordinating this event. I look forward to becoming a Yelp elite and attending more events in the near future.

    We honestly haven't been to too many Monroe restaurants, so we were really glad to hear that there was a lot of buzz about the newly opened Marcello's! First of all, I really loved their dining room. It had such a nice ambiance! The bread with roasted garlic to start was tasty, and all of the food we had throughout the evening was great. My fiancé enjoyed his cocktail as well. I really enjoyed their tomato sauce, and the Italian calamari and brick oven garlic parm wings stood out compared to others we've had. Our server was really friendly too. I would definitely come back, and it's nice to know about when we're in the Monroe area!

    If you're going to include tip on an already over priced Mother's Day brunch, at-least properly staff and refill waters...
