I always walk pass by this place and the food always smells so good so I decided to give it a go! They have variety of food ranging from salad to pasta to meats and rice. The food is by weight, and I believe it's around 2.50 per 100g now. The reason I gave it a 3 star is Because it's quite pricey for not that much food. I barely got anything and my total was 17 dollars. You would essentially have to be strategic to get the best deal.. read more

Marcello's Catering - Breakfast! - Delis Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Quite a poppin' lunch spot. I heard they have an amazing breakfast buffet, but since most breakie foods aren't vegan-friendly, I've never been during that time. I call this place 'the ratchet marche' because the concept is very similar but it's like a run-down version of the classier, more upscale, better quality brother. Don't get me wrong, the place is good still! The prices are cheap and I come here for some vegetables or extra carbs on my lunch hour sometimes and so do my coworkers - one got a small side of salad for 75 cents. WORTH!! It's all based on weight but I found even a full carby and veggie filled meal was only about $11 while the same thing at marche was over $20.. Marcello's food is usually fresh and there are many options. Their veggies are good but their pasta/carbs are soooo oily, it didn't sit well in my stomach. The staff that work here are very nice and overall I'd definitely come back to grab either a side for my lunch or a full meal. Yum. read more

0-star rating. Just don't eat at the 145 King St. West location your health is at risk! The truth is that there are a lot of things happening in this Kitchen that could be causing the food to be off and toxic to its returning patrons. Cross contamination, unwanted chemicals in the food, and food safety standers are abysmal. Cross-contamination is a big concern for not only the Halal diet but the Non-Halal diet. Although, no evidence suggests that the chicken in this kitchen is not halal, the way it is prepared voids the halal-advertised option. Preparation of chicken, pork, and beef happen on one cutting board. Adequate food safety practices outline air drying after sanitization. High volume locations cannot keep up. The safest choice for the patrons should outweigh cutting costs. One cutting board for each raw meat product is the only solution. Secondly, chemicals are contaminating the food. Bleach is a regularly used chemical in commercial kitchens. Its misuse is extremely toxic. It is required to place a maximum of 1 capful of bleach to 5gallons of water. 145 King St. W. Marcello's mixture is heavy on the Bleach. The Chef has sprayed cleaner around food. If you have experienced food poisoning or illness after eating at this location, please seek medical attention promptly. My other concern is for the unsuspecting kitchen staff. Finally, food safety standards are non-existent. There are food stains, grease, hand prints and other debris on the counters, walls, fridge doors, and floor. One employee chooses to floss in the Kitchen using a reflection in a stainless steel fridge door hinge. Kitchen and front line staff pick food off of trays with ungloved hands. During my three weeks of assisting in Marcello's kitchen, I witnessed sanitary infractions over and over again. It is my responsibility as the Chef Undercover to educate you on the safest places to eat and conduct yourself in any kitchen. Safe dining my friends! read more

Again... I really give this place a 2.5 star! (We need HALF stars, Yelp!) One of the potentially most expensive fast food places in the Financial District is Marcello's. While their by-the-weight buffet is very good, fresh and delicious: their hot food is actually HOT and their salad selections COLD, depending on what you fancy, it could get pricey. (I think it's approximately $1.55/ 100g). Bonus for vegetarians: they serve stir-fried veggies at breakfast too! One regrettable point for health nuts: their food is quite salty. However, not everything is expensive here, such as their soups. I was pleased to find that they have a good selection of soups each day, at least one of their soups is meat free. Bonus for everyone: Marcello's soups are cheaper than SOUP IT UP's soups, which is right next door. Today I had their vegetarian chili and it was GOOD, very similar to Soup It Up's veggie chili. While Marcello's veg chili does not have as many veggies in it as its neighbor's, it had alot of white and kidney beans and a huge tomato presence. Although I wish it had a bigger variety of veggies, I still found it very tasty and obviously memorable. I would totally come back for their veggie chili and veggie soups, but I'll probably shy away from the buffet. ONE truly bad thing: They don't take plastics, cash only. Oh yea, I'm here all the time... due to the lack of good hot veggie entrees near my office. It's just pure laziness (and lack of time) I tell ya! read more

This place is fantastic for the price. As of right this moment it's about 1.59per 100g which is crazy for the path. Other supermarkets are a lot more expensive at 2.49 etc. A tip for those new to the buffet lunch is that don't get the bones they add up the price! :) Thursday is Caribbean day and they have pretty good doubles there if you are a fan. Eat here regularly my only complaint is sometimes they go a bit too hard on the oils. read more

Once again, this establishment is selling off milk. They blame it on the fridges and yet nothing changes, it's

I eat here and recommend the food to my clients only because it offers healthy choices. It's ok tasting. Clean and local. read more

Marcello's Catering - the entrance to the restaurant - Delis Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

Great value for the PATH location. By-the-weight buffet (hot and cold) is much cheaper than supermarkets in the PATH. They are always trying something new, like a massive cold buffet station (as large as the hot buffet) with many unique items. Hot breakfast is on tap until closer to 11am, cold buffet is always open. Hot buffet is always changed up, different menu each day. I drop by any time during the day and always finding something - including deserts - that fits the bill. Prices are very good. The Manager is always around, say hi to him. Most staff are there for a while. Full range of Van Houtte coffees. Really their selection of hot/cold and breakfast buffets, muffins/donuts/tarts/etc, deserts, pizza, sandwiches, snacks, coffees, drinks is why I go. One stop shop for whatever strikes your mood. read more

For a subterranean, downtown, food court restaurant, Marcello's is really good. While the by-the-weight buffet is clearly the most popular option, those in the know scoot over to the sandwich/pizza counter to get their nosh. The pizzas are surprisingly good - a personal, three-topping pizza with good choices like spinach, chicken breast, bacon etc is a little shy of $6 with 75 cents extra for a can of pop. The staff behind the counter are great and will quickly remember your preferences so you don't need to ask anymore. On Thursdays, be sure to visit the buffet for Troy's rotis. Only once per week, but these are the authentic thing - spicy and filling. One caveat on the roti is that, due to a potato, meat, and sauce filling they can be a little heavy (read: expensive ~$8ish). Well worth it though. Take-out only. read more

Been going to Marcello's a little while now. Great selections. Good healthy options while convenient

In love with this place!! Amazing yummy food and wonderful service ! Variety of different foods to try.

The food is a bit hit or miss here, and like most hot/cold buffets, your eyes can be bigger than your stomach - so buyer beware, your lunch could be incredibly expensive. It is, however, a great place to sample different foods, great vegetarian selection if you require it for your dietary needs and one of my favourite places to sneak in some mac n' cheese with a side of veggies. A bit heavy on the oils...and steer clear of the Sheppard's pie if the potato topping looks dry. read more

Quick, fast, and yummy! They actually TOAST your breakfast sandwich unlike Tim Horton's that ends up being a slightly brown, but still limp English Muffin. Ingredients are fresh. Beware - items like pasta and potatoes can be heavy and therefore expensive. read more

Always great service and fresh food! -tons of coffee flavors and roasts, muffins are good too! -lots of food items to choose from -fair price Great staff especially the African-american men at the deli, and the blond guy who works many positions (Sorry don't know their names) read more

This is a great place to come if you want a little of this and a little of that. It can get a tad expensive if you pick up heavy items like perhaps a baked potato. They have the most AMAZING Tabouli. Has everything from Chinese food, to Greek, to Tuna Salad, to Pasta, To Indian, to Moroccan, Excellent Jamaican and Jerk food...every day they switch the menu up. The Caribbean food is the real-deal. Makes for a good change in you grab a container and choose a little bit of this, and a little bit of that. However, if you choose too much it can be rather costly. Breakfast hours they serve various types of eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns etc too. They have pizza but it is not good (I wouldn't recommend that). If you go to the back they can make you sandwiches and wraps (to order) and also have soups. The buffet is really good though with plenty of hot and cold items to choose from. read more

Great selection, good value for the money and great tasting! Highly recommend.

I pick up a little something from here on most days. The price is great and the quality acceptable given its downtown location. The salad bar is great. read more

They used to have 1/2 price on their lunch buffet after 3pm, but changed it to $10.00 flat rate for a medium container of food. It sucks because a bunch of people from my office would go down and grab $5-6 of food as a snack or late lunch but can't do that anymore. Well, I guess they lost some customers! read more

Great! place for Halal food option, the food was delicious and was not too expensive, you simply pay by weight, its totally up to you how much you want to eat :) highly recommend this place! read more

Got yogurt and fruit today for breakfast. The yogurt was SOUR and the fruit not so fresh. Was not impressed considering I got a small portion with a few fruits and it cost me over 6 dollars. Don't think I'll try it again unless I have no other options. read more
