    Before I get to Marcello's HORRIBLE food, click the screenshot to read their recent health inspection report. Note the numerous disgusting violations including for INSECTS and RODENTS, and poor hygiene. As for the food, do NOT waste your hard-earned money. Marcello's is an overhyped, HUGE disappointment as per every member of our pizza-loving family. This includes Marcello's regular pizza and Corleone-style, which is just low-end, glorified Sicilian pizza, and their other food like cheesesteaks and hoagies. The good reviews must have been written by staff members and/or third-world foreigners who believe that boiled rat is a delicacy. SAUCE: Made with CANNED tomatoes that taste like a can. Extremely salty. Overall, very similar taste to Ragu's sauce. which must be the "secret" recipe that Marcello's brags about. CHEESE: Cheap and all but flavorless. More flavor comes from the microscopic amount of Parmesan cheese. SAUSAGE: Tastes like rotting rubber and salt. Feels like rubber, too. Any frozen pizza's sausage will taste better. Oddly, you get about 20 times as much sausage as pepperoni. OLIVES, HOT PEPPERS, MUSHROOMS, AND PINEAPPLE: Each is bland tasting and came from a can. PEPPERONI: Average tasting but that is tasty enough for me. But you only get two small pieces per slice! MEATBALLS: Reheated from frozen with the expected rancid flavor. BACON: Very little and burned to a crisp. CRUST: Glorified white bread. The cheesesteaks had flavorless cheese and cheap, imported beef that needs to be chopped into thousands of tiny pieces in order to be made edible due to the huge amount of gristle present. SERVICE: Very slow but very polite. PRICES: Average for the area considering the amount of food received. PARKING: Plenty of it. NEIGHBORHOOD: Nice but continuously declining as more low-class people move in. One star is one star too many.

    That's not arugula...

    Hard pass. The Messina pizza was supposed to have arugula, prosciutto, & parmesan. Spring salad mix is not a hardy peppery green that can serve as a replacement to arugula. The corleone dough was so hard and chewy that trying to chew it hurt my jaw. What a waste of money.

    Garlic Knots omg so tasty

    First time ordering from here after following them on Face Book and my neighborhood page. I saw so many people raving about the food here, so figured I would give them a chance, and I am so glad i did! I really wanted a Cesar Salad and figured Id order one for myself with chicken and one without chicken for my niece who is vegetarian. The salads came with a fresh piece of garlic bread, and it was so tasty! We also ordered a small garlic knots and wow!!! Talk about flavorful! and worth the price! The pricing for everything was inexpensive and I am so happy about it. We also got some dessert! My niece had the tiramisu and I ordered a canoli. SO delish! She was smiling from ear to ear eating it and was saying how yummy it was. We both were very satisfied with the delivery. Another cool thing is they do Monday night raffles where you can win a dinner and desserts for 2, so they brought a raffle ticket for me when my food was delivered. i am looking forward to Monday and seeing if I win!!

    Eagles cheese steak

    It's a Wednesday and had a hankering for some pizza. I had been seeing pictures on Facebook for Marcello's all of a sudden. People were raving about the food so since I need food and it's close by who am I not to try a new pizza joint. We ordered the Taormino pizza & half-plain. The light focaccia like crust was outstanding. Cheese perfect, sauce bright and seasoned right. All the ingredients were super fresh and very flavorful, an amazing scrumptious Pizza. It looked heavy but au contraire light and delectable. To go along with the Pizza, cause you can't just have pizza by itself silly. We tried the cheesesteak. But not a regular steak you see it's a specialty cheesesteak they called "Eagles Favorite" It was loaded with cheddar and American cheese, fried onions, hot peppers, zesty ranch type sauce and friggin fries, yes fries. Why not, pile it all on foolish mortals. It was spectacular.Fresh roll, great flavors a little spicy kick to it but fantastic. Super friendly staff,very welcoming as well. Really glad I seen this place, now this will be a routine staple in our dining out options. They really wowed me and the food....Bravo! UPDATE 8/14/20: Stopped by to try a couple of slices and they did not disappoint. The plain was good but the taco was the one to shine here. Great crisp crust (on both) by all the flavors just melded perfect on the taco.

    Got the corelone style plain pizza and fries. Both were great! Really love the sauce flavor and airy crust. I was hesitant to get delivery due to high delivery costs but after reading great reviews, gave it a shot and totally worth it!

Reservations are a good idea since it can get busy. To start, we shared a fresh goat cheese salad along with the following entrees , including short rib over polenta, mushroom pasta, grape leaves, and an octopus salad. Everything was flavorful and nicely prepared, and it was fun to try a variety of dishes. For dessert, we had the salted caramel boudino, which was a perfect way to end the meal--rich, smooth, and not overly sweet. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with great food and a warm atmosphere. I'd happily come back and would recommend Barduzzo to anyone looking for a great meal in Philadelphia.

Here's the rundown: GRILLED HEIRLOOM CARROTS: Creamy, savory, fantastic SPRING VEGGIE SALAD*: fresh, tasty, elevated salad PAN SEARED GNOCCHI: show stopper, would order again 5 stars ROSSA (WOOD FIRED PIZZA): basic but excellent SALTED CARAMEL BUDINO: house specialty for a reason {small but really good beer selection} Service was attentive - maybe a tad too attentive but certainly well-meaning. *The only (very) slight ding, is that the waiter noted it was family style, but the portions were individual sized. We added on the salad b/c we need something else. I always thought 'family style' was larger portions shared by the table. No biggie. The room is not big a bit cozy. All table were taken but didn't feel cramped or chaotic. Overall - very glad I came to Barbuzzo and would certainly recommend.

    Giuseppe's is fantastic! My husband and I had an amazing Sunday dinner a few weeks ago there. From…read morethe speakeasy vibe of the restaurant to its South Philly culinary inspiration, it was an amazing meal that we'll always remember. We ordered a number of things to share family style - - The Artichoke Francaise appetizer was something we'd never seen before on a menu, so we wanted to try. It was so good and I'm still trying to dupe it at home for my vegetarian hubs. - My husband is a eggplant parm connoisseur, so we also ordered their Eggplant 'Parmigiana' appetizer. He said it was good. - Ricotta Tortelloni was delicious and our favorite savory dish. The aged balsamic cuts through all the richness of the cheeses perfectly. It was so good! - To round off the meal, we ordered dessert and ordered the tiramisu. Glad we did because Giuseppe's & Son's has the BEST tiramisu that either of us has ever tasted. Ava was our waiter that evening. She was the best! When I mentioned my husband was vegetarian, she made sure to clear with him if certain ingredients in the dishes were ok with him. It's a big relief whenever that happens when we dine out. Plus, she was friendly and convivial. The tables at either side of us liked her too. That quality is important and adds to the overall experience for diners. Just had to shout out. Giuseppe's is hands-down a wonderful place and a gem. We highly recommend it if you're looking for something truly special.

Decorated vintage chic Italian restaurant with booth and table seating. We started off with three cocktails that were seasonal options all were good and boozy as expected. The waiter was great at recommending top picks and favorites. We started dinner with the 8oz mozzarella and meatball appetizer. The meatballs were served 4 in sauce small to average size meatballs were good, soft and flavorful. The mozzarella was a show pulling it tableside from curds to a full 8oz ball finished with salt , pepper, and flavored olive oil. Dinner we ordered three Italian specialties. Chicken Milanese that was served with shaved Italian cheese and arugula. One vela parm which had the perfect ratio of sauce to cheese. The third meal was a basic bolognese that was served with mafaldine pasta. Entrees were all good. We also added the truffle pasta option for the table which was also prepared tableside with the cheese wheel and shavings of fresh black truffles was a perfect finish. We also had a sharing side of gnocchi with sauce. All in all we had a solid meal. It wasn't the best Italian I even had but it's good. The total was 336 for three with 2 rounds of drinks . This is pretty good for center city fine dining.

Everything was as perfect as it could be why is that because this restaurants been doing it for over 126 years they know a thing or two their customers and had to prepare plate delicious meals. Surprise surprise we actually found parking OK maybe that's because we got there earlier than our reservation in hopes to make another stop that didn't work out so we came early and they greeted us with open arms took us to a beautiful table in front of vintage fireplace hence we were sitting in the perfect spot. Our server, Justin came over to greet us. We got into some conversation before we even touched upon the food. He was exceptional at his run through the menu, his explanations on preparations handling questions. This was definitely not his first, not his second and not his third rodeo he's definitely a professional at what he does. Upon review of the menu we started off with steamed clams and a spicy marinara and actually asked for fra Diavlo hence they gave it an additional hit of spice. It had a nice kick. It was very tasty. My wife was going back-and-forth between their signature lasagna and a little weak weenie with crab Bianco and in the end she went with the baked lasagna oh my goodness the size of that piece on the plate we took half home. She certainly enjoyed her. For me, I went with the veal Catherine, the medallions veal with shrimp, lump crab meat, and fresh tomato and a Bianco sauce the plating presentation I can't describe you'll just have to see my photograph. I've never seen it like this before and it was extremely tasty. Very tender I would certainly get that dish again. And since I am not a pasta eater, I ordered a side vegetable of broccoli Rob. And we ordered a bottle of the Italian Montepuliciano wine, what was the perfect compliment to our dinner? And this was my birthday. My wife was surprising me she had already pre-ordered their homemade tiramisu with ladyfingers, which would wind up taking with us cause we were kind of full and had later that night at one of our favorite coffee houses in Philly and boy that dessert was perfect and I'm glad we waited. Again, everybody was smiles, friendly, and helpful. The place of spotless and you really feel like you're in someone's home.

I think they phoned it in as a result. Our server was disengaged, almost rude. Our dishes; the veal was tasteless, the lasagna was excellent and so was the calamari. Our pasta dish was tasteless and overdone. Our $70 red was beautiful. He never asked if we wanted another, or anything else. They were out of tiramisu. He could have told us. Also, the bill was handwritten, more like chicken scratches, I couldn't read any of what was written. I'm sure their rep is deserved, but as a visitor to Philadelphia, on our night it was not.
