| - When I am in the Vaughan Mills area, I skip the food courts and the restaurants in the mall and come here.
Marcellos Vaughan Mills is an extension of the original location, located on St. Clair. Usually I come here with at least one other person; so we can split a pie and an appetizer or dessert later.
The food is pretty decent and fairly consistent. I really haven't had a bad experience here. The portions are pretty generous, if you're a small eater like me; normally I have always have take home, if I ordered my own food.
I'm not a fan of the pasta here, mostly because I've had better. Their pizza is pretty decent; although I've been here before Pizza Libretto (which is kinda unfair comparison). But you need to keep in mind that their pie won't be a soft, chewy toothsome crust like Libretto's then you'll be ok. I usually order their margherita or their positano or speck pizza; these are usually pretty good choices, although their positano pizza can get a bit salty due to the cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.
Their appetizers are pretty good, my usual order is either their grilled veggie platter or their grilled calamari. Their Grilled calamari, like pretty much all their dishes, are great for sharing. Portion wise, I'd recommend this for at least 2-4 people, but I've been able to stretch this to 6 people in the past. It's got pretty decent flavour, if you add a squirt of the lemon on the side to cut the oil, you're golden. Their grilled veggie platter is great for the same amount of people to share and is a great way to open up the appetite before your mains arrive.
Dessert is a definate yes but I recommend going straight to the tiramisu; which is made in house. It's worth it and fairly light if you split it between your party. It isn't terribly sweet, but it's melts in your mouth.
