    Delicious Italian spot!! I got the rigatoni fantasia which was super delicious, and tried some of the margarita pizza which was so so good. I also bought a jar of their sauce to take home which I used to make my own pasta!

    This is the go-to authentic pizza spot in Vaughan. Looks small from the outside but beautifully decorated interior and spacious to seat plenty. Do not hesitate to go here as the food and service are great. Never regret eating here. Try the Mozzafiato Pizza. A great blend of contrasting flavours and fresh ingredients. Go check it out!

    Chanced upon this place while under a hunger pang. Were seated immediately. A very friendly lady served us. Despite being busy.. she was attentive and quick enough. All her recommendations were great and the best part.. she didnt have to think to make up what is good. She knew it and had confidence in her recommendations.. and boy was she right. An amazing meal out. Going back soon. We were on table 19 but did not ask the lady her name. Ma'm.. you are awesome! Oh BTW.. the Pizza!!! Finally someone in Canada who knows how to make a Pizza!!!

    Had a nice patio to dine in during covid. Service was decent. Food wasn’t anything exceptional. Margarita pizza was quite delicious but the pasta with bolognese sauce was a disappointment. It was pretty much tomato sauce with skimpy amount of finely ground meat. They offered bread on the house as appetizers, but the bread was cold out of fridge. I understand it’s for free but it wouldn’t take a lot of effort to keep them warm or at least room temperature.

    First off its NOT a pizza restaurant, its an Italian restaurant that caters to its existing clientele over 40, most over 60. I am no kid so no issue, but do not expect service. Pretend you are in France and you will be fine. I ordered a calzone, wanted to add sausage and chicken, told they will ask the chef, it came dry a little sause on outside, asked for sauce on the side, refused, asked if he would ask.....again chef refused. See picture this thing had good flavor but bone dry. Really part of going out is service, if you agree go somewhere else. Period. I was also refused a refill on ice tea, in all instances i offered to pay extra and am always extremely polite. The place is busy but forgot what service is.

    This restaurant oh my, I cannot describe how amazing the food taste! The quality and quantity is excellent. The flavors are on point, you can taste each ingredient. It was very busy of course Saturday night outing, we were told 1 hr wait but we were inside in about half hour. We ordered our food and the service was excellent, food was served really fast. Oscar was our server such a great server and just getting things done quick, very polite and respectful guy. Come down to this restaurant and have a wonderful sit down with your family and friends it's a great sit down environment

    Food was delicious! Lots to choose from on the menu. Portions are generous Service was fast, food took 10-15min to come out from ordering Restaurant is recently renovated, very aesthetic and clean Restaurant gets super busy so be prepared to wait for a table

    This is the second location to the original down on St Clair. As the story goes, these guys (starting down at the original location) were one of the very first to bring wood burning fired pizzas to Toronto. Marcello’s is what I would call authentic family style Italian food. Nothing fancy, or over the top, just well priced, tasty Italian done right. The pizzas are thin and topped properly (not too much that it over flows and good quality ingredients). Pastas are all great, and the portions are generous. Always looking forward yo my next visit and my next plate of penne à la vodka.

    I love Marcello's because of it's fast and fresh food options. I've never had a more efficient sit down lunch than at Marcello's. The food is always hot and the service is always excellent!

    Always loved coming to Marcello's. This was my first time back since the pandemic started, and I've missed their food so much! We were seated promptly since it was between the lunch and dinner rushes on a Saturday, otherwise I do recommend reservations. The hostess was super friendly, and our server, Sam, was attentive and efficient. Our experience this visit, like all my other visits, was always up to par. I usually get their mouth-watering, fresh pastas, but I came for lunch this time, so we ordered their wood-oven fired pizzas instead. The pizzas were hot, fresh and delicious with amazing ingredients. The Barese was especially good, where the slight acidity and sourness of the tomatoes brought so much freshness into each bite of the slice. Dessert: as phenomal as the food is here, I only truly come here for the tiramisu. Made fresh, the tiramisu is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I love how it's not too sweet, and the texture is nice and light. It could do with a little bit more coffee flavour, but that's just because I love my coffee. I refuse to share my tiramisu from Marcello's, it's that good. It was so great to visit after almost two years, and I can't wait to come again for some pasta!

    Went for our dinner with a larger group on a busy night, we were seated within minutes and the service and food was superb! Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Sadaf R. 9 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    I’ve been here a few times and the food is always great. The last time I went, however, the Diavola pizza I ordered was so salty I could barely get through it. Not sure if it was a one off or if it’s usually that salty. I highly recommend saving room for dessert because the tiramisu is really good.

    This is a lovely restaurant that we always enjoy. Food’s great and absolutely amazing staff even though it’s always busy. Love everything they have on the menu. The Tiramisu is the best.

    Newly renovated 6 months ago.. But more importantly the good remains amazing! Heathy portions paired with great service and the house made olive oil is for sale which is well worth it!

  • 5/5 Rory 1 year ago on Google • 17 reviews
    This place checks off everything you would want in a dining experience. Service is on point, with barely a lull between dishes. The atmosphere is a little noisy for me, but not enough to deter me from returning. Everything is made in-house and is delicious. The calamari pic is half finished. It was so good that we didn't wait to take a photo. They are going to be renovating their restaurant next week, but once they reopen you should check them out.

  • 5/5 1Sherman L. 1 year ago on Google
    Haven't been there in a while, but it was always a goto... Then something changed and the food suffered. Went there on a craving for some Italian food - wasn't disappointed! Muscles in red sauce was what I remembered when things were great. Pasta in tomato sauce with cheese was very satisfying - simple and tasty. Pasta in oil with rapini and sausage was hearty and flavourful with out being heavy. Portions were very good, not too much nor insultingly small. 4 stars for Atmosphere - it can get a little loud in there, the interior structure seems to amplify the conversations... But, some may enjoy this liveliness!

  • 5/5 Krishna L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place! They seated us quickly, took our orders quickly, and had the food out right away and it was piping hot and fresh! The pizza, ravioli and tiramisu were all fantastic! I am definitely coming back!

  • 4/5 Sonia B. 2 years ago on Google

    Great food and reasonably priced...they do need to put better signage on the bathroom doors however....gentleman was in the ladies washroom arguing that he was in the proper one, even with 2 women in there lol

  • 4/5 Sharad S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great value for food. Not the best pizzas I have had but the service is stellar and makes up for any difference in taste. Reservations highly recommended, can be long wait times.

  • 5/5 Natalie G. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    wow wow wow what a great experience. This was such an amazing meal. 45 mins wait but totally worth it. Obviously busy for an Saturday night. My boyfriend and I meals were amazing and just felt super fresh as. Our waitress recommend the homemade Nutella cheesecake and wow the best dessert we have had. 5/5 for everything 💗 great portion and the atmosphere was fantastic.

  • 5/5 Eric D. 1 year ago on Google
    I always see lines up at this restaurant in the last couple of times I've walked by. Order to give it a try and end up understanding why they are so busy. Their pizza is so delicious. Will come to dine in one day soon

  • 5/5 Melissa G. 2 years ago on Google
    Our table went to Marcello's on a recommendation. So glad we tried it! Service was top notch and the mussels were to die for. We also had a pizza, fried calamari and minestrone soup. All so good and great fresh ingredients! We will be back!

  • 5/5 Itzia N. 1 year ago on Google
    I came here because a recomendation from a colleague and OMG what a great experience, was a Tuesday and the restaurant was full, everyone very happy, a lots laughing you feel like in a party. Then the food was on point, we had 2 entrees the calamari and arancini balls. they were delicious specially the calamari with pesto. And then we had pizza with eggplant and ravioles both great. And to finalize our experience the service from Aneliya was more than kind. She is was always taking care of us. We will come back every month as our date night.

  • 5/5 Mandy L. 2 years ago on Google
    Still the best cozze and tiramisu in town after so many years! Delicious authentic fresh pasta and filling portions. Consistent and reliably for great Italian food.

  • 4/5 X. Hou (. 1 year ago on Google
    Went with big group. Like the pizza. Have to try! Any kind tastes really good. 👍 Grilled Calamari also very good. Took a while to get someone taking our order. And friend’s medium rare steak turned to be a fully cooked one… (Maybe don’t go with bigger group more than4) Other than that good place to go.

  • 5/5 Kris V. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place with lots of options for pizzas, pastas and entrees. Their pastas are all delicious and the tiramisu is super creamy. They have a good selection of wines and other drinks as well. Great customer service and clean restaurant.

  • 3/5 Mina 1 year ago on Google
    Deep fried calamari was fresh but somehow it smelled like burning gas a little. Seafood linguine was salty. But pizza was very good. I will go for pizza again. And staffs were very friendly and nice.

  • 5/5 Amber P. 2 years ago on Google
    Pizza al Pollo was delicious, my fiancee’s fettucine al pesto was fresh and delicious. Waitress whom I’ve encountered in many instances is always a sweetheart.
