A hidden gem

Classic Italian cooking, served like family.

Little details make the difference: fresh hand-grated cheese over your salad, and warm crusty bread to dip in olive oil loaded with garlic.

Marcelina's continues the tradition of preparing your favorite Italian dishes in a friendly, comfortable dining room at Kingsland Plaza. Co-owned by Estella Salamanca and her daughter Marcelina, the restaurant is committed to homemade sauces, generous portions, and making every guest feel at home.

Our story

About Marcelinas

Family owned

Named for Marcelina. Run like home.

We make it feel like home.

Marcelina's Italian Restaurant is co-owned by Estella and her daughter, Marcelina — the restaurant's namesake. In the dining room that once housed Carmine's, they continue a tradition of favorite Italian dishes in a friendly, comfortable setting.

Guests notice the small things: fresh hand-grated cheese over the salad, warm crusty bread with garlic olive oil, homemade marinara, and staff who meet you at the door. Marcelina has called the restaurant a hidden gem, and regulars drive from neighboring towns for the veal, the pasta, and the welcome.

Opened in 2019 in Kingsland Plaza, just west of On Top of the World, we cook with fresh ingredients and the highest standard of service because at our core we are committed to you — our customers and friends.
