The restaurant…read moreexudes an Italian charm with its beautifully decorated ambiance and cozy nooks that offer a more intimate dining experience. We gave it a solid 5 stars for the ambiance and service. The server was busy but consistently ensured that we had everything we needed. We ordered a variety of dishes, including Chicken Milano, Lasagna, and Lobster Ravioli. While none of the dishes were particularly bad, they also didn't stand out as exceptional. We'd give food a 3-star rating overall. We'll definitely be back to try again, understanding that dining experiences can vary greatly depending on the staff and kitchen. The restaurant did enough right to warrant another visit. I highly recommend giving it a try as well.

We've been looking for a nice Italian restaurant and recently took a chance on Marcelina's. Wish…read morethere were 1/2 points as our experience wasn't a 4, but 3 feels low - 3.5 is where we're at. The interior decor is dark with lots of red and pink lights on walls and ceiling, and individual table lamps so you can read menu. And as soon as we walked in, the garlic aroma enveloped us. 2 servers directed us to a table and then another server showed up to take our order. We had difficulty talking with the servers as the volume of music was high, but they did turn it down when we requested. Portions were large, but i was disappointed with the pasta on my dish. There was a large clump that was stuck together (see photo) and it made that portion of my meal offputting. I showed the pasta to the server who came to clear the table and they offered to get me a new portion of pasta which i declined.

I recently had an early dinner, sitting at my usual window table. No liquor license yet, but I was offered a complimentary glass of wine. Nice touch. My appetizer was a Peruvian staple-a Causa (seasoned mashed potatoes) & this came with crab meat. Was very good. A delicious house salad followed, & then I had the Pescado a lo Macho, which was lightly fried red snapper topped with mussels, calamari, & shrimp in a delicious sauce with rice. Portion was very ample, so no room for dessert. Service was very personable and efficient. Prices were fair. I'll be back !

We ordered ceviche, chaufa, ají de gallina, lomo saltado, chicharrón de pescado, and lamb chops. The potatoes were undercooked and cold, papá a la huancaina had no flavor at all. I had to send the Lamb chops back to cook as they came medium rare. They came back almost the same. Aji de gallina had the chicken in chunks. The chicharrón de pescado did not come with any salsa criolla or salsa tártara. The fish was dry. If they came with the excuse that this was fusion with French or Italian food--PLEASE.

Ocala's Carrabba's is generally clean and the food is usually fresh so you can get a decent meal at a great price! The service is always decent and the server's fairly attentive. I've never had a stand out experience it just has been a basic chain food restaurant that the food is basic and it's usually pretty good. I had the Lasagne and I enjoyed it. We had shared the calamari for an appetizer and it was pretty good. My friend had ordered the chicken Parmesan and was not impressed. To me I feel that Carrabba's is suitable for a nice meal to sit down and relax enjoy some nice conversation, it isn't noisy and it's inexpensive. You can walk in and it's never really crowded but if you are looking for Authentic Italian this isn't it.
