After looking at different food options around the area, Marcellos' patio came up and quickly became our staple in Italy without being in Italy experience. Our server, Clare, was so pleasant and really madeeee our experience (she even taught us some Italian words so when we go to Italy we can order with ease). Let's talk about the food though: big, filling portions with baaare cheese on the pasta just the way I like it. Tbh, the bruschetta was my favourite part of our meal (I'm surprised I didn't get pizza, trussss mi, but I was feelin' some pasta which was a solid 8/10 in terms of taste, texture and memorability). The bruschetta tho...the dough tho....defffinitely made me reconsider my pasta plate because the way it was baked to perfection alone was just...chef's kiss* read more

Lunch on a weekday. 50% capacity. Waiter seated us quickly. Bread basket was average, tasted like it was sitting there for awhile. Ordered pizza primavera. 10/10. From crust to cheese to toppings. Waiter checked on us once. He gave us space to enjoy our lunch. read more

This pizza was incredible. The burrata is put on after the pizza is cooked so the cold burrata is warmed up slightly. The hot sopressata went perfectly. The honey drizzled on top was amazing. I loved the sweet and spicy contrast. The basil give it an amazing freshness. The crust was thin and cooked perfectly. This is one of the best pizza flavour combinations I've had. read more

Love this restaurant, it is one of our favorites and we don't even live in the area but frequent it. The good is always consistently great no matter what we get and very authentic and very reasonably priced. One of the best pesto sauces ever. Can't go wrong here, great pizza, salads, pastas and mains with great portions and price. I've driven in a snow storm to come here, even my very picky son loves the food here. read more

We were recently out with some friends and one of them (an Italian that swears by his mother's food) said that Marcellos has the best pizza. I had to go back and confirm this. We went in on Thursday at around 6-7ish and the place was PACKED! I've never seen a restaurant so busy this early on a weekday. There were quite a bit of people waiting to be seated, which to me is usually a good sign. We waited for about 20-30 Minutes until we were finally seated. We had the sweetest waitress helping us for dinner. She was very attentive and always asked how we were and whether we were enjoying the food. And oh boy we were... She had apparently just started last week, which we could not tell. Great job on the hiring Marcellos! We started with some grilled calamari in their pesto sauce. Now, I'm not a huge fan of calamari because it usually comes out chewy. This calamari was so well done that I was able to cut and chew through it easily and actually enjoy it. The sauce was to die for. I wiped the plate clean with their complimentary bread...no shame. We then ordered the Orecchiette con Fichi (pasta) and the Pizza alla Campagnola (pizza) to share between the two of us. Okay, so it was good, like really good. Both servings were generous. So the pasta sauce was a bit on the heavier white sauce side, but it was so good! The texture was super interesting as it had fig seeds that were crunchy and made it kind of sweet. The pizza had a thin crust and the ingredients were delicious. Overall, we were so happy that we decided to come to Marcellos. So much so that we will likely be back in a few weeks to take out parents to try it. I'm very glad this is very close to home. Definitely a great place for authentic Italian food! read more

Stick with salads and pasta... the pizza crust very disappointing... almost a whole wheat bread texture..not the usual chew you get with wood oven. Nice wait staff and good portions. read more

This review of Marcellos Pizzeria is based on my dining experience with a vegetarian. I usually just let my Hot yoga Date picks where we go for dinner as I am an eat whatever and she is a vegetarian. Italian seems to be good choice as there's always meatless pizza and meatless pasta...so we ended up at Marcellos. On a Tuesday night, there's still a short wait for a table... but always a good sign as at least one have hope that the place has to be good. Pizza Primavera ($12.95) Tomato sauce, mozzarella, pesto, sundried tomatoes, onions, green olives & green peppers, which we really enjoyed... eyeing each other to see who was going to have the last slice. Gnocchi al Pomodoro ($10.95) was a little disappointingly bland with just tomato sauce..... me thinking about Linguine Frutti di Mare ($16.95) while chewing on those tasteless Gnocchi Tiramisu ($ 4.95) saved our evening. Great portion for sharing, nothing better to bond with your friend while fighting over a great dessert. I think I would have to come back with another date so I can do an update that is not bias.... read more

After a day of shopping at Vaughan Mills, we stopped by Marcello's Pizzeria for dinner. There was quite a crowd of people at the door waiting for seats, but luckily we only had to wait for 20 minutes. Shopping makes me extremely hungry! In addition to the usual olive oil and balsamic vinegar, Marcello's also provides chili oil, which made me very, very happy. I love spicy food, so I was literally pouring chili oil onto everything I was eating that night. Perhaps not the healthiest thing to do... Now onto the food! Fried calamari (frittura di calamari) with a side Caesar salad. I enjoyed this immensely. The calamari was lightly battered and nicely seasoned, which was good since it wasn't accompanied with any dips. We ended up using the Caesar dressing as a dip, and that also worked really well. The portion was also quite generous, perfect for sharing. Barese: white pizza with mozzarella, Italian sausage, rapini, and hot peppers. I enjoyed the thin crust and the general cheesiness of the pizza, but I wasn't crazy about the rapini. Overall, a pretty good pizza. Penne alla Vodka: penna pasta with leeks and pancetta served in a vodka tomato cream sauce. This was absolutely delicious! My boyfriend, in particular, was so in love with it that he craved it for the rest of the week. The pasta was cooked al dente, and that vodka tomato cream sauce was simply delectable! I wanted to smother everything in the sauce, including the bread and pizza crust. A drizzle of chili oil and a spoonful of Parmesan cheese were the perfect additions. Tiramisu- the cake was a little too soft and soggy for my liking, but I was told that authentic tiramisu tends to be on the softer side. I actually prefer a firmer cake, but did appreciate that it wasn't overly sweet. Caramel crunch- I recognize this as a Dufflet creation. I particularly enjoyed the combination of crunchy and creamy textures. It was a fantastic end to the meal. All in all, I enjoyed my experience at Marcello's Pizzeria. I highly recommend this restaurant as a great affordable dining option near Vaughan Mills. read more

Great food and the prices are fair. The service is fast and friendly. the atmosphere is family orientated

Great pizza. I havent tried the pasta and smells amzing. I had their mushroom soup which was also great. They have great wine selection and fast service. I order and pick up from here all the time. read more

Went here for dinner with some friends with kids. The wait was about 45 mins which was a little too long but it had been given great reviews by friends. Plus, they do not take reservations either. When even local Italians come here for family gatherings the restaurant must be good. But that's the reason why the lineups are long. There were a few family gatherings where they stayed longer than 1.5 hours, taking up several precious tables. Of the items we tried, the pizza was delicious. The calamari was the only one that was a bit lacklustre. The pasta was delicious as well, using good quality ingredients. read more

Does marcellos really need a review? Because it is AMAZING. Their outdoor patio is perfect for covid dining. Spaced well apart. From the free fresh bread with the oil and balsamic vinegar, to their pasta and pizza, this place does not disappoint. Their mussels starter is my absolute fave. Their tiramisu is just divine!!!! Trust me on this one. Marcellos is amazing! Their staff and service has always been great too. read more

Finally made it to Marcello's given it was a Thursday, raining, light traffic and no wait. The place was loosely full. Our server was very friendly and helpful. Good with allergies. The restaurant was cozy, a bit dimly lit, and clean. We shared the following and brought home lots of leftovers: Nice bread to start Burrata -always a favourite and this one did not disappoint. Delicious! Pepperoni pizza - nice thin crust, good flavour. Shrimp pasta - nice light olive oil pasta with tomato and arugula. Only failing was that it seemed to be missing salt altogether, and I say that as someone who does not want overly salted food. Huge portion. No room for dessert even though the house made tiramisu sounded awesome. read more

Came here for a girl's night out with my cousin and sister in law to celebrate her birthday. This restaurant came highly recommended by my cousin's Italian friends. It is located in a strip mall close to Vaughan Mills. The atmosphere of the restaurant has a homestyle family feel to it. At 4:30pm on a Sunday it wasn't busy but there was a lineup outside the door when we left at 7:30pm. The menu consists of a great selection of appetizers, pizzas, pastas, as well as some entrees. Instead of a traditional appetizer, we ordered a pizza to share as well as a pasta for each of us. Bread and butter were served but we didn't eat them because we were anticipating the pizza would be filling. They have flavoured olive oils and balsamic vinegar on the table as well to enjoy with the bread. The pizza had a relatively thin crust but maintained it's crispness despite the numerous toppings. I really enjoyed the cotto pizza which had olive paste, mozzarella and goat cheeses, prosciutto and arugula. It was light and cheesy at the same time, the best of both worlds for me. I would definitely order that again, especially since I'm a huge fan of goat cheese. My linguine di Mazara had a garlic olive oil base with large pieces of shrimp in it. The serving size is very generous and I was only able to eat about 2/3 of my pasta, it was that filling. My sister in law had the linguine di mare, and you could certainly taste the seafood shining throughout this dish. For dessert my dinner companions ordered the tiramisu and I had the Nutella cheesecake. The tiramisu is light, with just the right amount of mascarpone cheese while maintaining a light and airy ladyfinger base. The Nutella cheesecake was less cheesecakey and more like a dense chocolate torte, with a delicious rich chocolate hazelnut flavour and texture, with the crunch of ground hazelnuts in the crust and whole pieces of hazelnuts in the filling itself. If you like chocolate and hazelnut, this was so worth the calories! I really enjoyed the food, and the servers were attentive. I will definitely be back with the hubby and my family! read more

Had a amazing dinner here with my family. This is the only Italian restaurant I go to when I want great pizza and pasta. There calamari here tasted so fresh, I feel like they get it fresh every day. The pizza is a thin crust oven wood style. My fave one would be the Diavola pizza. Overall it's always a great time coming here but make sure you call ahead to make reservation on weekdays because it could get busy fast. They don't take reservation on weekends. read more

I sometimes forget how good Italian food can be. Orecchiette alla Pugliese was the star of the meal.

I came during a weekday with a friend at 7:30pm and the restaurant was packed. We had a wait time of 20mins so we sat outside to enjoy the fresh air. When our table was ready, our hostess texted us. The service was a little bit slow but completely understandable because this place was PACKED. Our server was really pleasant though and checked up on us a couple times that night. We ordered chicken fettuccine and margarita pizza to share. Both were excellent but thought the fettuccine was slightly bland. I usually get penne a la vodka when I come here but wanted to try something different this time... I feel like I should've stuck with penne a la vodka instead. This is my go to restaurant for good Italian food and the wait is totally worth it. If you don't like longer wait times, you can always call in reservations or dine before/after the dinner rush read more

My favorite! love the food. the service is always quick. the ambiance is great. it's newly renovated and very on trend.

The worst Italian food in the area. The bruschetta; tomatoes were watery and hot, The mussels plate had way too many empty shells. Pasta was not good at all, had a sour taste to it and the chicken pieces were hard. I would say this is more of cafeteria style food or food at the mall food court. The waitress kept scratching her back side and handling the food and drinks. The interior was too hectic, the chairs and seating was very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this as a good dinner place. I don't think they even cared, the personell was very unpleasant. We Felt rushed and hungry leaving this place. read more

Upmost excellent service you can get , and quality Italian food that you can't get anywhere else in Vaughan. Always a perfect spot to bring the family. read more

A solid 4.5 for me. My fiancé and I were given a great recommendation to come here and it did not disappoint. We weren't looking for a big meal so we shared an appetizer and an entree. We started with the Calamari alla Griglia (Grilled) and it was absolutely delicious. You get large pieces of squid drizzled with olive oil and pesto sauce. It was perfectly cooked and probably the best grilled calamari we've ever had. For the entree, we shared the Linguine di Mare, which was linguine pasta with shrimp, mussels, scallops and more calamari in a tomato sauce. The seafood was perfectly cooked as well as the pasta and the tomato sauce was very good. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients used and everything is made to order, so your dishes are piping hot when it is brought to the table. The servers were very friendly, made great suggestions and always made sure that our waters were filled. As much as we would've loved to have dessert, we will full but will definitely try some next time. The only thing that we would change was the complementary bread that they give to you, it was good but if it was served warm, it would be perfect. read more

I was there to day with my sister for lunch they were very rude and poor customer service especially the manager , we waited 10 Min to be seated , table was dirty , we order wine was sour , the 2nd wine was taste like water , food wasn't great ,, I don't recommend this restaurant . read more

Good option if you're in the area, busy spot for lunch. Their pizzas are great, lots of variations to choose from.

First time walking into this Pizzeria,,, and from the looks of the outside,,, you can't see much but black windows and the Marcellos Pizzeria across the top,,, not sure what to expect,,, Went inside and it was packed!!! Couldn't believe it,,, but actually got a seat right away on a busy Friday night,,, we both ordered Pizza and it came out really good,,, the server was helpful with a recommendation which was perfect,,, The atmosphere was proper,,, low light,,, a bit dark inside but a nice intimate setting I think for pizza Definitely would come back to try the pasta read more

Excellent pizza! Went with my BF and his kids - it is a local favorite for them. I was impressed by the atmosphere and the food. The service was excellent as well even though they were really busy. read more

Food is fantastic! Ambiance is nice Great family place for sure Our server had the sense of humour as dry as paint on the wall from the 60's but I guess not everyone is meant to be funny LOL. He was very efficient though and he did a good job overall. Let's start with the pizza. Wow Wood oven pizza cooked to perfection. Great ingredients and done right. We had 6 different ones and all of them were fantastic. Calamari. We had them grilled and they were just alright. The fried ones are amazing. we also got a shrimp and calamari fry. Oh my God. Amazing The antipasto platter with the olives and cold cuts and cheese was pretty small for $18 but then again for two people it's fine. We also ordered the linguini with fish in a red sauce. Great quantity of seafood and cooked just right. Sauce is a bit thicker than we prefer (closer to a tomato paste than sauce) but it was very tasty. The place was packed for a Tuesday night which speaks volumes. It is a bit pricey but not outrageous. Budget $30 a person plus alcohol. All things considered I would come back again. Especially for the pizza. Awesome pizza. Loved every type we tried. read more

Came in for lunch on a Saturday. Located right next to Vaughan mills the crowd that they get seems to be more or less family with young children. Wait was not long for lunch time but I heard it can get up to an hour and a half wait if You go on a weekend during dinner time. As we walked in, staff were very friendly and greeted us quickly with a smile on their face. We ordered the calamari to start and shared the chicken Alfredo and barasse pizza. Bread is served to the table with 2 different types of olive oil and 1 balsamic vinegar. Pretty standard bread but can be tasty when hungry! Calamari came quickly.. definitely don't come here for their food presentation as my calamari was all over the plate and scattered since we only had about 12 pieces. Served with a little bit of arugula underneath. Taste wise... lack of salt and had no sauce to dip the calamari in. Was disappointed and ended up using the chilli oil as our dip. It as also quite soggy and the breading was falling apart. Chicken Alfredo fettuccine was pretty standard.. And nothing wowed me from it. Good amount of chicken portion but the sauce was overly liquidy.. the barasse (?) Pizza was this and tastless.. lacked in cheese and the rapini had an odd taste to it (sort of like horseradish.....). I love rapini and was so happy to see that on the menu but was quite disappointed afterwards. Pricing was a little on the higher side for what you're getting. A plate on average is $15 but the food was not overly Taste nor was the presentation done nicely. I don't think we will be coming back to give mediocre food another chance. read more

I came here for dinner with coworkers and had no idea this was right behind Vaughan Mills Mall. There was a huge line when we walked in, and were told it was a half an hour wait.

I have been to this place nearly 10 times over the past six months and have never had a bad experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and not uptight. From the hostesses to the wait staff and the chefs, all are extremely friendly and can offer you recommendations when ordering. The food is bountiful in portions and very reasonably priced. Plenty of choice for every palate. Their wood oven pizza is delicious with a thin crust with a slight chew. Everyday there is a salad, pasta, pizza special so there is constantly a different taste for what you're up for. In Vaughan, there are many choices to choose from. However, one visit you will realize there is no reason to go anywhere else. This past visit I had the lobster tail risotto, with bay scallops, spinach, cherry tomatoes, in a garlic sauce. Excellent flavour and excellent value for $23.00. read more

The food is fantastic pizza delicious! Fantastic service and well priced. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their work

Dropped by for a weekday dinner with the familia. The place was just getting busy for the dinner rush and after a 10 minute wait we were seated and quickly ordered the burrata app along with four mains: orecchiette with sausage; arugula pizza; ravioli; and gnocchi dishes. All came out well sized, hot and flavorful. The only drawback was the amount of oil used in the orecchiette dish as well as the pizza, both were too oily. For a place that usually does great dishes, I was disappointed but will notch it up to a bad night. Service was prompt and attentive as usual so that was appreciated. I'll be back but not till I can shake off that oily feeling! read more

One of the best Italian restaurants we have been to.! Ambience is definitely spot on for a cozy family dinner. For pastas, we had the White wine Tomato based Seafood pasta, Linguine di Mare & Creamy Fettuccine Alfonzo ( porcini mushrooms, chicken and baby arugula in a garlic cream sauce - boom! you could not get any better than that) . For pizzas my personal favourite was Tonino , it's simple cheese , prosciutto, basil and cherry tomatoes . Nothing great right ? Wait til you take a bit of the pizza and have the cherry tomatoes explode its juiciness in your mouth !introducing all the flavours. wOw!! What an experience . The more complicated pizzas would pale in comparison because all I can think of is this pizza . Can't wait to come back and sample the rest of the menu. There is a line up so be sure to call in for a reservation . We were lucky.. when we called they said a longer wait give or take 30min but when we got there , we were seated right away . Service was good (just a bit slow or I was just hungry) but they kept us at bay with appetizer bread. Their spicy oil was soooo good . Wanted to take some home . read more

Love everything we ordered. Place is really nice. Good place to spend dinner with family and friends. Wide variety of selection on Antipasti, pasta and pizza. We had the Tonino, Cicco and Capricossa(not sure with spelling) pizzas. For pasta, we had the Fetuccine Alfonso (chicken and mushroom on cream sauce) and Linguinne di Mari(seafood with tomato cream sauce). Love love the pasta! Will surely come back to try the other choices in the menu. read more

I don't normally leave negative reviews but I was really disappointed this time. This was not our first time here. It was a busy Monday evening. The four of us waited a long time for our food and when my cod finally came, the texture tasted and felt like frozen cod. Something just wasn't right. The waiter confirmed it was not from frozen and offered to make another one for me. I figured if I'm paying $27 I'd rather get a fresh piece. Then later he came back and suggested I try the salmon instead, which turned out ok. Everyone else had pastas which were good, except that they all had to wait for me now to get my food, which we didn't mind. We ended up spending close to 2 hours for the dinner. When the bill came I saw that I was charged for the salmon instead of the cod. It was just $2 more, but I would think for what I had experienced, the least you could do was to charge me what I had originally ordered. It wasn't my choice to get the salmon in the first place. To top it all, we were surprised to see a $12 change for hot water! It was a chilly evening at the patio, so we asked for 2 hot water. They came in 2 small glasses, so when we finished we asked for a refill. The waiter just brought 2 more glasses. If you have to charge $3 for a glass of hot water, it would've been a nice courtesy to mention it. And at least mention it when we asked for a refill? We eat out quite often. If something is worth paying for, we would be more than happy to do so. Not this time. Not going back anymore. read more

awful place, the waitress was super rude. i'm never coming back. I asked them if i could have pasta with shrimps and they said no and they literally have shrimps in the menu. im vegetarian but occasionally i eat shrimps and i don't expect any restaurant to adapt to my restrictions, i simply ask for what i see in the menu that is good for my diet, so i saw the shrimps and the alfredo pasta in the menu, when i asked the waitress if i could have some alfredo pasta with shrimps she said "no, that's not italian" i laughed because i thought she was joking and said "well, that's fine, can i have the alfredo pasta and the shrimps that are on the menu?" and she said "so you can put it on the pasta? no way" WHAT THE HECK???? First of all im not discussing the -italian- thing when you have coke in your restaurant. If you go by "this is not italian" then why don't you serve Brio only. Anyways, worst experience ever. I left without eating any food. What do you care if i want my pasta with shrimps anyways. read more

We came here as a large group of 16 people on two tables. The waitresses were good, took our orders in a timely and orderly fashion and got it right. So kudos to them, they were the best part of the experience. We ordered fried calamari and some panzerotti apps to get started. The calamari were a little rubbery. The panzerotti were mediocre with not much taste and a little too soft. The group ordered various dishes so I'll focus on my gnocchi in tomato sauce order which several others from the group also ordered. Consensus was the gnocchi were undercooked and chewy. The sauce was nothing special. In my opinion there are many Italian restaurants in this area and therefore, the bar needs to be set high out of respect for Italian cuisine. This establishment is well below the bar when compared to many Italian eateries I've enjoyed globally. If you want to go out and socialize, eat some pasta that's average at best with a good glass of wine coupled with good service, this place is for you. However, if you do a little bit of exploring, you can find much better and for the same price range. Don't settle unless you want to. read more
