| rev:text | 	Marcello's exceeded my expectations.  I'd heard it was a place to get inexpensive, decent Italian food.
My wife and I were lucky enough to arrive just in time to get a table for two.  The restaurant was packed with everything from young couples to extended Italian families, and it looked like the wait time could really grow as they do not take reservations.
 
I had a special from the grill: sausage, beef, and chicken.  The sausage and chicken were excellent, but I wish they had have given me the option of getting the steak something other than well done; I suppose I should have spoken up when she didn't ask so I must take some responsibility I suppose :)  My wife's pasta was handled quite well, and the portions for both meals was excellent.  The wine list is small but I had a nice chianti which was reasonably priced by the glass, and my wife had a decent white.
Service was excellent, prompt and professional without being chatty.  There was some wait for wine at first, as the place was packed, but once they realized we would want a refill or two, they were attentive and quick.
The bill was the biggest surprise.  We ate and drank our fill for less than a hundred bucks, including tax and a healthy tip. |
