| - 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!
