Randomly looking for a new place to eat yesterday, we came upon Marcello's Ristorante, Pizzeria, & Catering in Carlisle. It was absolutely amazing. Best Chicken Parm I've ever had anywhere. Everything is made to order, and you definitely taste it. Garlic bread is pulled from the oven for the table, which is great. My "side" of Fettuccine Alfredo was amazing and more like a main course since there was so much. We can't believe we've never been here before, but will definitely be at the top of the rotation now. Amazing. read more

I really enjoyed the food from here! The lobster ravioli is very very good! Very large portions! I ordered a medium stuffed pizza, and I can't imagine what the large looks like! It is huge! I also ordered the breaded mushrooms and it would've fed 3 people! How are they making money with portions this big! The service was top notch also! I can't handle spicy food, not even pepperoni, and I have a hard time speaking some times because I had a full laryngectomy but the young lady at the counter was very kind and patient with me, and helped me find some substitutes and they didn't charge me anything extra! The place had a nice vibe going on, everyone in the kitchen was busy, but all seemed to be enjoying what they did! I'd highly recommend this place if you're looking for top notch Italian cuisine! Very tasty! read more

First thing when we came in the door we sat the for 5 minutes with no waiter and then more people came in and the waiter finally came up and she just told us all to just find our own seats and then the food came out and it was bland as could be I got chicken Alfredo and it tasted like it was out a can, if you want better Alfredo then this go to Olive Garden it will blow it out the water read more

Marcello's - Pizza Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Great local pizza joint / Italian restaurant! Marcello's has a standard casual pizza restaurant with seating and a bangin' takeout business on the right side as you walk in ...buuuut also has a sit-down Italian restaurant with table service on the left side (with more limited hours. For the casual diner, pizza, 'bolis, cheesesteaks are all great! 'Fancy' side has great dishes like Chicken Marsala, Alfredos, etc with daily specials - all I've tried have been great. Highly recommended! read more

Marcello's - Chicken Cheesesteak with Mushrooms - Pizza Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Got take out. Great everything was hot and good. Best pizza you can find in this area they do it right here. Great spot

We were a very large group who took up perhaps half of the sit-down restaurant side of Marcello's, friends of the bride from college days long ago. Good Italian food, friendly service, but a little too noisy (background sounds) for good conversations while dining. read more

I ordered a cold turkey sub and received this with so much peppers and no tomatoes or lettuce and old crusty funnel cake fries. This place is garbage fuck then and the workers. Then when I go in he wanna have an attitude boy you lucky it's here cuz where I am from, we don't play. Keep this garbage read more

Best Italian food and the chicken soup is amazing! Love all the staff Great service

Positive: First their food is good. Never had a problem with their food. Negative: These folks do not like discount cards. We've have a discount card for various establishments that honor the 10% discount. This is the second time we got a small Red Bruschetta pizza for $10.99 and the price is current and accurate. No drinks just the pizza. Total both times came to $11.44. So these people need to go back to school and learn math. That or stop being DISHONEST which is what they are doing. Correct discount: $10.99 + tax (.66) = $11.65 - 10% ($1.17) = $10.48 Dishonest way: $11.99 + tax (.72) = $12.71 - 10% ($1.27) = $11.44 So essentially they are automatically adding $1.00 to the $10.99 pizza so after the 10% discount they are charging you more and they never honor the 10% discount so they don't lose any money from the discount cards. Crooked. This was done by two different people working the register. Not the same person. This wasn't some silly oopsie mistake but deliberate as this happened twice from two different people. Shady business practices. read more

We have frequented Marcello's going on 20 years now. Always welcoming. We haven't had a meal we didn't like yet. Their cheese pizza is our daughter's go-to for pizza night. We absolutely love their homemade meatballs and often order them as a side to whatever dish we're having. Their Red Bruschetta pizza is my favorite pizza while my hubby loves meatball & mushroom. My husband's favorite dish is their eggplant rollatini. Mine is their cheese tortellini! Their restaurant is split in two. They have a dining room with full-serve for special occasions on one side, and a take-out dine-in area for more casual self-serve eating on the other side. We've used both sides. Their waitresses are always pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Marcello's for your dining pleasure. read more

Poor customer service. I got there before my order was ready. They said they'd call my name when it was. No problem, I went over and watched the football game. 25 minutes later still nothing. I went back over and saw my order sitting on the shelf. I told them I didn't want the fries since they were probably cold. Didn't ask if I wanted a refund, just disappeared with my order. 15 minutes later they give my order to me, no apology or anything. The owner comes over and asks if I'm mad. Be aware, if they are at all busy, you will be overlooked. To add on top, they made two of my subs incorrectly, so I didn't get what I paid for. They don't care about you since they already have your money. There are better pizza places in Carlisle, go to them instead. read more

I haven't had gluten free stuffed shells in over 10 years since I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. My mom, daughter's and I stopped in and had a great experience. The salad and dressings were good and my mom and daughter loved the fresh bread. They loved their food and I am so glad I opted to try the gfree pasta instead of going for gluten free pizza which i usually have to have. The service is great and the server checks on regularly. There was a variety of folks in here and the decor is Italian themed. They seem very popular and clearly have take out (possibly delivery but I'm not certain on that). I will be back, thanks! I didn't get pictures of the bread or salad but it was included in the meal. read more

Have ordered take out for family get-to-gathers in the Past, and all have been wonderful. this past Saturday, Jan 3rd was no exception. Was or 2nd Family Christmas and all seven of us ordered many different meals, subs, sides and extras. Orders had specifics for each person, but I can honestly say nothing was not perfectly made to order. Examples--no, onions, no peppers, etc. Was spot on. Every specific order was correct. That is totally special when 7 persons are concerned. Marcellos is specific and on point with their orders. My only complaint is that they did not have their own jarred marinara/red sauce available. Love it for my leftovers. But honestly, you cannot go wrong with this restaurant. I just hope when they open the new site, they continue their excellence. Thank you Marcellos!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The meat pizza is the best pizza in Carlisle! Amazing deal. Delicious red sauce is a must. I'm sad it's a little out of the way to get to. I've eaten inside too with a large group of kids and adults and it was a good experience. Nice tables and good food. read more

Our favorite Italian restaurant! Alfredo and his staff are welcoming and amazing. They make you feel like family. Love the Shrimp salad, pasta primavera, the mushroom sauce. Pam is our favorite server - just love her. Amazing homemade garlic rolls, gluten free pasta available. BYOB. We appreciate the nice dining room. They offer a more affordable menu and casual seating area on the opposite side (subs, pizza, calzones, etc). I had my dad's memorial service here a few years ago and they were wonderful to us and did an amazing job. We love Marcellos! read more

Was at Marcello's with a group. Service was very good, price very good and portions very good. This could be the new Rillo's. I miss Rillo's Chicken Rustica and Chicken Veniciana. People raved about the egg pant parm. Would like to see a dish with white wine sauce with peas, mushrooms and prosciutto. read more

Great food, good prices friendly great service! Nice gluten free selection and very well done.

This place has the best Marinara of any of the Italian restaurants in the area, it's my go to place for any time I am craving red sauce. Great waitressss there also. read more

Entire evening was a disaster. They had double Booked the room and never apologized - in fact they must have other group we took the room from them and they got super aggressive. At no point did a manager come speak to me. They made us feel terrible for being there, the waitress told me she had to come in and was confused why we were even there, and then tried to tell us that the menus we had made were not ours! It was a disaster from the word go. We went in early to decorate, and the tables were so filthy we asked for help and they brought us a bottle of Windex to clean them. We spent ten minutes cleaning up garbage from the front of the restaurant as well. They ruined a wonderful event in our families life, and I will never return. I did send the owner a letter simply asking for an apology before I did a review and never heard back. read more

The food and employees are wonderful, but this eating establishment need a cleaning and scrubbing so badly!!! The baseboards and ceiling tiles are dirty gross. If they use a cleaning service ... get a better one. read more

Pizza was very good but could have been hotter. Busy place at lunch time! Atmosphere comfortable.

I added on delivery instructions to not knock on the door. It was even written on the receipt. However, the lady that delivered the food knocked loudly on my door. There is a reason why I asked not to knock so the household is not disturbed. In addition, I stated no salad and no soup...yet I get a salad. The delivery status was never updated and still showing as "working on your order". Food was not good...more like processed canned food. If delivery order and delivery instructions cannot be followed, then, I am not ordering here ever again. read more

Delicious Italian food. Friendly service. They have a pizzeria side that's casual and a nicer dinning area side. The portions are great. Most meals come with soup/salad - which are always quite large and garlic bread. Sauce has a good flavor. I love the manicotti here. read more

Salad with wilted, dry lettuce, cold garlic bread, and entrees that are okay if you have no experience eating good food.

We had a large group of 29 people. we had reserved the back room +2 other tables. When the people there were setting up, they knew we wouldn't fit comfortably back there and then with two tables we wouldn't be able to see each other. So they set us up in the big dining room in like a giant you shape. It was perfect. It worked out so well. They thought ahead and just did this for us and even said a couple extra seats in case more people came as we weren't. Really sure how many were coming. The waitress was absolutely wonderful. orders were correct and she just was really good. I can't say enough about this place . The food was phenomenal according to everybody there. So I recommended highly. read more

Late into town and at a hotel. Marcelo's was suggested as a restaurant which would deliver. 2 large amazing pizzas to our door in 30 min. They definitely live up to a large size pizza and the driver brought plates and utensils to our door along with our pizza. Food and service A+. read more

Can honestly say this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Servers with piss-poor attitudes, completely disorganized and chaotic; restaurant is dirty and in desperate need of deep cleaning (don't look up at the ceiling tiles); food was disgusting and flavorless. Sadly, cannot find one nice thing to say about the way they run this place, the service, or the food. Even worse, they clearly don't give a sh*t and have given up trying. They've lost my business for good this time. read more

A very good Italian restaurant. Good food, reasonably priced, and great service. We stop he every time we are in Carlisle.
