    Trenton style with pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms! It's the bomb or bussin! First time here! Service is great.

    The pizza was delicious! Trenton style rocks! Great service and ambiance. You should try it. Nicolina took great care of us. True customer service! Best server in Bordentown!

    Im stunned at the low rating! I love going to Marcello's. The food is always on point and I always say, if you want a good drink, go to Marcello's. The bartenders are fantastic. The drink menu changes seasonally. The pizza is always cooked to perfection. I've never had to complain about anything

    Bread served ahead of meal.

    I'm in town for work and saw the Yelp reviews and people I worked with recommended this place. I ordered the chicken parmesan, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. If you want pasta as the side make sure to tell them since it is an upcharge. Everything was great.

    Came here to eat win a friend as this is halfway for the both of us. There is plenty of seating throughout the entire restaurant. The service was great, waitress was super attentive to us and answered any questions we had. I ordered the chicken parm with the pasta in vodka sauce (chef's kiss) & my friend ordered the shrimp with pasta (not sure which specific one it was). She also enjoyed her meal. The portion size was a good amount! The food was so good I ordered some for my husband to go.

    Marcellos has a great vibe, fantastic service, and good food. I recently met a friend here for a weekday lunch and we had a nice meal. The complimentary bread and butter was also delicious. We ordered the Flounder Francese (which you don't see often) and the Chicken Francese. Both entrees were accompanied by mash potatoes and broccoli. We fully enjoyed our meal. The only thing we did not care for was the Tiramisu we got for dessert. It was more like a cup full of cream than a true Tiramisu. They have one menu for lunch and dinner. I wish they did have a lunch menu at a slightly lower price point with lunch specials.

    I came here for lunch with my friends and our babies. Service felt very rushed. We were in and out within an hour. Our waiter basically came to us asking if he should pack the food for us to go while we were still eating. They do have a great amount of variety for drinks and food but I opted for a house salad. I also ordered a mac and cheese which was really not what I expected. It was more of a cheese sauce than anything.

    This place is a decent spot for a Trento style tomato pie. The dough in my opinion makes the pizza and it's a solid pizza that anyone can enjoy. The menu has several other options which all sounded pretty good. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a drink and a pizza at a bar.

    Cute restaurant in Bordentown! I love the vibe and greenery decor. We sat for drinks at the beautiful bar. Cocktails were super tasty! You can tell they use premium ingredients.

    Food was lovely, the drinks are phenomenal too. LOVE Michael..! You were so attentive. Thank you for such a great experience. The Old Fashioned was superb, thank you so much for anticipating my preferences.

    I typically enjoy it here but my most recent visit was really disappointing. It's a very cool space, they open the front windows overlooking the street. They also have outside tables. It was super hot so we sat at one of the high tops. The menu is huge- pasta, pizza and sandwiches.Happy hour is from 4-6 with drink and app specials. Our server took our drink orders then they arrived 15-20 mins later. When they arrived she brought the wrong drinks. Instead of saying sorry about that she offered to remake it. No big deal accidents happen. The lemon martini was super sweet. More of a dessert cocktail if you like those. They have traditional or sticky calamari. We ordered regular with both sauces. The sticky sauce had a great flavor with a bit of heat. The calamari was way over cooked. We would have liked it better if it wasn't overdone. We also tried the Arancini. They were crispy and good flavor but only 2 to an order. Wish the waitress would have told us that when there were 3 of us. Pizzas were delicious. We really liked the white pizza. The sauce on the margarita was sweeter than I like but crust was great. After our pizzas were finished we had to wait another 20 minutes to get our bill. We got up to find our waitress who apologized and said she needed the manager. Still unsure why we only order a few things and it was all on the bill. We were the last people in the restaurant as they were cleaning up around us. Maybe just a slow night for the kitchen? Don't come here if you're in a rush or paying a babysitter.

    Portnoy's 8.2 on Marcello's Trenton Tomato Pie is legit!! (For anybody who isn't aware, Dave Portnoy reviews pizza around the country, has a very big following, a huge influence on pizzerias, and is a very difficult scorer. 8.2/10 is a great score according to Dave's metrics and he prefers traditional bar pies.) This was the first time I've ever been to Marcello's and it didn't disappoint. We had reservations for a large party as we had a family event in town earlier in the day. When we arrived every seat at the bar was taken but the high tops around the bar were available. By the time we left the entire restaurant was packed which is a testament to the quality food, drinks, and service Marcello's provides. Our table for 10 was ready for us when we arrived. Our table ordered a few beers and my girlfriend and I had cocktails. The few people who had beer really enjoyed the Kronenbourg 1664 which was our servers recommendation. My Gin martini was very smooth and my girlfriend's specialty cocktail (a variation of a mojito) was very aesthetically pleasing. We both loved our drinks. We decided on ordering a bunch of pies to split between the table. We did 2 Trenton Tomatoes, a Brooklyn Style Margherita, a Diabla (spicy but delicious!), a Clam Pie, and a Trenton Tomato with Vodka Sauce. Every pizza we ordered was incredible. Great crust and undercarriage providing a pleasing crunch & chew without being burnt. Each pie was uniquely flavorful and we did not regret ordering any of them. My favorite was probably the Diabla, but if you're not a fan of heat this pie may not be for you. The table favorites seemed to be split between the Trenton Tomato and the Brooklyn style Margherita. I had a hard time picking between the two myself. Our server was actually incredible, but I forget his name otherwise I would have given him a mention. He was so kind. Was very helpful with his suggestions. Full of energy and passion for his job. He even asked what we were there celebrating and gave the special individual a complimentary dessert. My first time here was a big hit. It's unfortunate it's a bit of a hike for me otherwise I'd visit much more often. Everybody had a great time, and enjoyed the food and service. Props to Marcello's for checking every box that you'd use to measure a dining experience and a day out. They knocked it out of the park.

    A great meal is not just good food. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and very charming. A great start. And speaking of great starts, the Arancini, Italian egg rolls and the eggplant rollatini was fantastic. My Frutti di Mar excellent. We also had shrimp Oreganata, meatballs & sausage as well as a great Diabla pizza. Definitely coming back when in the area again.

    First time here. We had a 5:30pm reservation this past Saturday night. We were seated promptly in the back on the bar side. It looks like they also have a side room with more seating, booths, etc. Our waitress was pleasant & fast. Started off with the free bread. We ordered salad, pizza, chicken franchise & lobster ravioli. Everyone enjoyed the meals. We had sangria & wine too. It was my daughters 22nd bday & we ordered dessert. They brought it out with a candle & we sang happy bday. Very nice touch but I wish the dessert was comped. Also, they add 3.5% for credit card fees. Drives me nuts. Overall though great first time experience.

    It's very tight seating for a table of 2 sometimes, unless you can get a table by the front…read morewindows. One of our favorite Cesar salads, very flavorful. My Veal was very tender and the vodka sauce was delicious. My wife had the black pasta with shrimp and crabmeat. There were only 4 shrimp and very little crab, but of course lots of fresh pasta. She loved my dish. We would definitely go back and try other dishes.

    Pros: I genuinely can't think of a single favorable aspect of our dining experience…read more Cons: Everything--from the service, to the table spacing, to the food quality--was an issue. The ambiance and layout were problematic throughout the meal. The table spacing was already uncomfortably tight from the start, and toward the end of our visit, a party of 10 was seated in a way that completely blocked off the front left side of the already small dining area. This left only a narrow path on the right side for entry and exit. Given how confined the space became, it raised legitimate concerns about safety and whether the layout could pose an issue in the event of an emergency. After waiting 40 minutes for the complimentary bread, I finally had to speak up and ask for it to be brought to our table. Given that there were several open tables both inside and outside, we couldn't understand why there was such a tremendous delay with such a simple task. For an additional "starter" my dining partner ordered the Caesar salad which was completely drenched in dressing. While we were initially excited about the homemade pasta entrees, we were extremely disappointed once out they arrived. I understand that homemade pasta is typically served al dente, but neither dish was cooked properly. I had to cut my pasta with a knife because a fork simply wasn't enough, and my dining partner couldn't cut several pieces of his pasta at all--some were still noticeably crunchy. I was especially surprised, as I've dined here before and don't recall these kinds of issues--perhaps there has been a change in the kitchen. Unfortunately, we weren't able to address any of this during the meal because our waitress, Marti, never checked on us from the time she delivered our entrees (about an hour after we were seated). Not once, not even upon delivering the check did she ask us how our meals were! Before leaving, I chose to address the server, Marti, directly and share our experience. I expressed my disappointment with both the service and the food, but her response made an already bad experience significantly worse. Every comment was met with a large, clearly insincere smile and a dismissive "I'm sorry to hear that," with no effort to actually resolve anything. A good server would show genuine remorse, offer to involve a manager, or at the very least attempt to make things right--whether by addressing the issue or offering to comp part of the meal. None of that happened. There was no accountability, no urgency, and no real acknowledgment of the situation--just a phony, rehearsed response that felt completely disrespectful. To make matters worse, shortly after we left, my dining partner became ill, experiencing both diarrhea and nausea, along with severe stomach pain that has now lasted over 14 hours and is still ongoing. If I could give this experience a 0 out of 5, I would.

The appetizers, specifically the octopus was the most tender I have ever had. The main courses however were all forgettable. My seafood dish was average at best with clams the size of peanuts. My son's tuna had no flavor and my wife's lamb was undercooked. I wanted to send it back but she just said let it go. It was good and we took it home and I will cook it a little more later today. I don't mind paying their prices if its worth the money. Was hoping it would be great. It's not but it is good. Staff were all friendly and seemed happy to work there.

    I decided I wanted to have my birthday dinner at Ristorante LUCCA so we made the reservation…read more It was a really rainy night so we were thrilled when we saw they had complimentary valet parking. Walking in the hostesses greeted us and asked to take our coats and umbrellas. They were very complimentary of us and also gave me a single stem rose when they heard it was my birthday. Walking to our table we were able to take in the overall beauty and romantic ambiance in every room which was exactly what I hoped for. Our waiter and the staff were very attentive throughout the night and wanted to ensure we wanted for nothing. The food from the complimentary bread, olive, olive oil and prosciutto to the cocktails to the entrees and cannoli for dessert were a 10/10! We had not a single recommendation for improvement. After dinner we popped into the piano lounge for a night cap and to listen to the band. The lounge itself is sooo chic and plush!!! And the wait staff and bartenders are all top tier...they truly know how to create and overall start to finish fine dining experience. Oh and the band was fun! They asked for (& got) crowd participation which was fun to watch. This was 100% an overall romantic and fun fine dining experience and we already said we're coming back!
