This is best Italian I have had in the GTA area!! Excellent tasting food and a reasonable price. The location has great atmosphere and the staff are wonderful but you better get there early as this a very popular restaurant. read more

Delicious food! The staff seemed a bit obnoxious at times but overall a good experience with amazing food and I will be going back for more hopefully soon! read more

All I can say is MMMMMMMMMM! I went for dinner with two others and we enjoyed all of the food. We had a salad to start (forgot which one) and the mussels. The broth the mussels were cooked in was to die for! We ordered two pizzas-vegetarian and spicy sausage, as well as the seafood pasta which our server told us was the best seller. Pizzas were delicious, and so was the pasta (a little aldente for my liking). Everything was great except for the loud hectic environment, a lot of kids running around, we could barely hear each other. We will be returning for lunch next time :) read more

I am writing this review as I lie in bed, nursing a food hang-over from a wild night at Marcellos. You know, the food hang-over...a morning of regret and sluggishness that succeeds a night of over-indulging on delicious but carb-filled goods...slowly coming to terms with the fact that your body just can't handle bread and pasta like it used to. My friends, please eat carbs responsibly. What we ordered: Frittura di Calamari ($10.95) - Good but not amazing. Despite being deep fried, the breading was a little too soft and also kept detaching from the calamari. Good deal for the price though. Pizza Mia ($14.25) - Pesto with grilled chicken, grilled eggplant, goat cheese, and sundried tomatoes. As a fan of pesto, this was like finding a unicorn amongst a field of typical tomato based sauced pizzas. Happy to report that it did not disappoint. Toppings complemented each other perfectly, and the thin crust was perfectly chewy yet crispy. Note that this is not the healthiest option, as displayed by a layer of green grease that resided on my plate. Tell me why that did not stop me from continuing to devour the entire pizza and a quarter of my friend's pasta. Ughh. Fiorellini Fantasia ($14.50) - Very pretty swirly pasta with chicken and spinach. Pasta was made perfectly al dente in an amazing creamy tomato sauce. Also very generously portioned. Out of anywhere I could have over-indexed my carb quota though, I'm glad it was at Marcello's - a place with fun and delizioso food at very reasonable prices. *Insert gesture where I pinch fingers together, kiss them, and toss away* read more

Loved the pizza, pasta and very friendly staff! Always lots of people here because of their food.

AMAZING pasta and pizza! I got a pizza to share as an appetizer which i highly recommend to anyone who isn't planning to get a pizza as your main. Pizza al pollo - goat cheese, spinach, chicken and sundried tomatoes. super thin crust, a good amount of toppings, and great crust :) if you like sundried tomatoes, the pieces they give you are huge. For my main i got fiorellini fantasia - pasta with chicken, spinach, roasted red peppers with a tomato cream sauce. this was actually out-standing!!! The portion was big, the sauce was SO good and they didnt skimp out on the ingredients. this place is my new obsession. read more

They have the best fried calamari with shrimp. Great portions and the tiramisu is enough for two to share.

This is probably the best Italian food in the area. Considering that it is a mid range eatery, they do make better food then some upscale Italian restaurants. Everything is always fresh and really big portions. Well priced, have nice patio, great service. They get very busy in the evenings. The only disappointment last visit was tiramisu. 2 years ago they had the best tiramisu, last week it was completely different, like you buy in the store. They should get the old recipe back. read more

Ate here for a quick lunch, and admittedly did not order pizza as I was only a party of one plus a toddler and didn't think I'd be able to finish a pizza order by myself. Ordered a pasta dish, fettucini alfonzo. Was underwhelmed by the pasta and got a little bit of indigestion afterwards (possibly the porcini mushrooms are just too strong for me personally.) I actually was more disappointed with the service than the food. The attitude of the waitress wasn't friendly and she had bit of an abrupt and slightly abrasive manner when taking the order and checking in on us. It made me wonder if that attitude presented itself because I was a solo diner with a child and deemed not worthy of solicitous service. (Child was well behaved so not the reason for the cold waitress attitude). The restaurant doesn't cater to families with young children (which I can understand just wanted to mention to other family Yelpers reading this) so will not have amenities like a kids' menu or plastic cups with lids. I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt in regards to food, as I understand this place is known for pizza, which I did not order. Also it was probably just a one-off incident with the waitress having a bad day. However, the dining experience I had will make me hesitate returning in the future. read more

I was actually disappointed by marcellos quality of food in the last few months.. pizza is good not issues with that. The pasta ...I don't know if management changed or new employees but no matter what kind of pasta you order it's very watery and no flavour to it at all!!! Calamari weren't fresh..had to take back and order a few one.. I used to come here all the time for the pasta but now it's been two times in a row I've seen a big change in food. I honestly won't come back to this location again. Maybe at Clair marcellos the original location will be better. read more

This place is do busy for its own good. Went the last couple of times and the service was not the greatest. The food is good but the lack of service makes for less then great dinning experience. They also should freshen up the menu. We also went with a friend with a food allergy and they would not accommodate him. read more

If you are looking for Italian home cooking Marcellos is the place! The pasta is served piping hot and the atmosphere is just like being at home with your family. The staff is very friendly, the portions are huge, they are always busy, the food is fresh. I have been eating amazing italian food all of my life in Canada and in Italy therefore it's very difficult for me to be satisfied with finding the perfect italian restaurant. So trust me when I say that this place is Amazing. The Terra pizza and fettuccine al salmone are my favourite dishes. read more

Never disappointed with the exceptional pasta here. The place gets packed so come early or make a reservation!

Went to Marcello's as a party of 10 last night and it was a great experience. Unfortunately they do not take reservations on Sunday but we didn't have to wait long for our table. The good thing about that was we were able to request a table of 10 before all of our party arrived. Usually restaurants won't start prepping your table until everyone arrives. This saved a bunch of time. All in all we waited about 15 minutes for our table to be ready. Our server was great; she was very attentive patient. Ordered drinks first and ate the complimentary bread that was brought to our table. Our apps came out and they were all very good sized portions. The antipasto platter was massive; it can easily be shared by 3-4 people. The arancini were great as well; very crispy and the subtleties of saffron were a nice touch. The salads and bruschetta pizza were huge as well. After the apps, our mains came and again, very good sized portions. Mainly pizza and pasta's were ordered at our table (and one veal parmigiana). The mains were all very good. The pizza was nice and crispy but still had some chewiness to it and the gnocchi was great and had a homemade feel to it. Dinner was followed by espresso, cappuccino, coffee and one tiramisu (again the portion was huge). All in all, Marcello's was a great experience. Service was fast and friendly despite being really busy, even for a Sunday night. I would highly recommend Marcello's for the great food and service. read more

Not a traditional Italian restaurant but some of there food is very good I am hooked on there linguini di mare. There fried calamari is very soggy wouldn't recommend it. Best tirimisu I have ever had at a restaurant so far. Sometimes the service is very good sometimes not so good. Depends on the server. Very good priced and the portions are very good. read more

Very good pizzeria. Sometimes the wait can be extraordinarily long. The marcellos salad is a great starter.

The service in this place is great but the food was below par. I found the food to be more "american italian" and less authentic. Maybe I ordered the "wrong" dish. I ordered the special which was sole fish with potatoes and vegetables. It was very tasteless, I couldn't even finish it. I wanted a small dessert and the waiter suggested that he can bring me 1/2 of a slice of cake which seemed like a good idea. It was still huge (can feed two people) and was not very good at all. read more

Always solid. Nice atmosphere, not expensive and good food.

Came on a wedneday for lunch and man was it packed! My partner and I ordered pasta and both were great. Only downside is that we did not get any bread. read more

Terrible service and very rude to customers. They are definitely not customer driven.. I do not recommend Desserts Plus is a better choice read more

Amazing food - great atmosphere - service just ok but food made up for it. Ordered the pizza and pasta - both were amazing

I love Marcello's, they never disappoint. Too bad they got rid of my favourite dish...risotto.

Love love love the food here. Every time we go the pasta and pizza are always fabulous. The customer service is excellent and the food is always great. read more

Great food and awesome selection of pastas. Service is always so fast and this place is always packed. They don't take reservations on weekends either. Pizzas are very authentic read more

Went to Marcellos and I have to say that they have the best Penne all's vodka around. It was so tasty. Our waiter was really friendly and the meals were a good size portion. My husband and kids had the pizza. It was so good too. Perfect spot that the whole family agrees on. read more

Used to be my number one fav spot for Italian food. Which is why I chose it for my birthday! Had the worst experience with the service this time. Extremely rude, cold and inhospitable. And worst part of it is that this attitude came from the man who claimed he was the "manager and owner of the place"! He was so obviously disrespectful that my friend asked if he doesn't want us there and if he would rather us go elsewhere. His answer was a shoulder shrug. And so we did. (Might I add that Grazi across the street had great food and even better service!) Marcello's, you did us wrong and I am so sad that I can't go back to a place that I visited week after week. FIX YOUR SERVICE AND THEN CALL ME. read more

Same menue as on St. Clair in Toronto but due to bad aquatics, long lines and green salads that are not always fresh (at my last 3 visits I had black rotten leaves) I give it 3. Definitely less attention to quality as it is in the original Toronto location. read more

Food was passable. What ticked me off was the fact that they charged for re-fills and would not give separate bills. Party foul on both counts. Hey, newsflash, you're not fancy a place! read more

Delicious pizzas and pastas. I always order the seafood pasta; copious amount of fresh seafood. Their freshly made Neapolitan pizza is so tasty. read more

They simply do it right, at least when it comes to pizza. I had the Pizza Mia and it was the perfect crust loaded with just the right combination of topping. It left me more satisfied than a Victoria Secret fashion show attendee. read more

Fabulous italian restaurant. Great place to go with the kids for pizza or pasta. Service is fast and food is consistently good. My only complaint is that this restaurant is too good and as such it's impossible to get a table without having to wait. What makes matters worsens that the have a no reservation policy during peak times :-( read more

Great pizza. Have been going since they opened in Vaughan. Have tried lots of other items on their menu and have found them all to be good. If you are in the mood for meat, their Veal Chop is excellent. One of my favorite places. Not the best place to go to have a quiet meal, it's very noisy! Do not take reservations on Fri and Sat nights, so if you show up at dinner time, be prepared to wait. read more

Excellent pizza ... it was thin crust and full of flavour. Lineups are long and a bit disorganized at entrance, but worth the wait! We were 10 people and waited just over an hour.... they don't take reservations! Enjoyed the antipasto appetizer, it's huge and delish! - perfect for two! It can also be a meal for one! Yes I will go back..... I enjoyed the experience and food very much! read more

When deciding to make plans with friends to go to a good Italian restaurant Marcellos is my go-to place. This place never disappoints and is always good. Exceptional food and great service is always on point. read more

Been coming here for years, consistently delicious with good prices, can't go wrong coming here unless there's a wait of over an hour, when they tell u half an hour its most often 15. 5 stars for service prices and quality read more

The pizza was burnt but they comped it. and great sever Sandra

Great pizza made with noticeable high quality ingredients for a surprisingly affordable price. For starters we had their arancinis which are equally remarkable. Check it out after your shopping day at Vaughan Mills. read more

Cold pizza, messed up order, poor service. Not impressed at all. Had better service and food at other Italian restaurants in the area

There pasta sauce is amazing and portions are decently sized! Every time I go to Marcello's I'm never disappointed

Marcello's won't be seeing me anymore. Many, many years ago I often frequented their St. Clair location when it was nothing but a whole in the wall, and was glad to see it expanded to Vaughan. Today being mother's day and knowing they don't take reservations, I stood in the line up 12:45 and and 12:50 waitress comes out and I didn't make the cut, asking me to come back in an hour and half. I asked why don't they make an exception and take reservations for a busy and popular day like today. The response 'people never come in on time'. Well guess what, I didn't come back in an hour and half because my long patronage with you is obviously not appreciated. You should really look to update your processes and it seems to me it's just too much effort for you as it was too much effort for me to come back in an hour and a half. Too bad this relationship didn't work out. You're not the only pizzeria in town. read more
