Marcello’s Italian Ristorante 268 Springfield Avenue, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922

"We came here on Thursday evening for a quick dinner, it’s a sizable but cozy Italian restaurant, with variety of pizza and pasta choices. The pizza is great and come quick, not like other Italian restaurant where we were waiting over 45 min. The pizza is crispy and coming with dried tomato and heavy cheese. We also ordered Filetto Francese, company with vegetables, the gravy is a bit salty, but we still enjoy it. The service is excellent, the waiter is very caring and asked frequently if we need anything. We will definitely come back! BTW, the price is very affordable:)"

"Our group of 18 senior citizens went there for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon expecting to order from their lunch menu. To our shocking surprise, they refused to let us order from their lunch menu. We had to order from their dinner menu which was priced much higher. They said our group is too large for lunch menu price. We had checked their website before we went and there was no mentioned of such rules and we went there anticipating ordering from the lunch menu. They also rquired us to pay in cash individually, no credit cards because our group is too large. Some of our members did not bring enough cash and had to borrow money from each other. We complaint to the server about this and he got really offensive and treated us very poorly after that. This place is a scammer, caught us by surprised with no advanced warning. We all said we will never go back there again. They just lost a large group of potential customers."

"Husband and I stopped in for dinner, we have been here several times but last night was our last! Waiter was very rude for no reason! They weren’t busy as we were the only ones there, this wasn’t the first time he was rude! The owners were also there at another table and every other word coming out of their mouths was the F Bomb….YOU DON’T DO THAT IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS! As far as the food, the calamari tasted like rubber like it came frozen out of a box, all the edges of my stuffed shells were burnt! I could get a better dinner at Olive Garden, very disappointed"

"Best outdoor set up of any restaurant I’ve been at during this Covid crisis! My wife and felt very comfortable and safe under Marchello’s spacious canopy. I had the homemade Pork Bracciola with homemade linguini, and my wife had Fiocchi D’amore Casalinga, delizioso!! The pizza has a perfect crust, love it! 9 times out of 10 Marchello is there, if you don’t see him, he’s cooking. Making sure his customers are being taken care of. The service was very good. I highly recommend trying Marchello’s, bring your family out along with your favorite wine, you will not be disappointed!"
