I’ve been here twice. Once in March 2025 and then again today January 2026. Both times the food was amazing!!! Absolutely unforgettable! This time I got the Grouper and it was the best Italian food I’ve ever had! This place knows what they are doing! And the service is awesome!

My family has been visiting Marcelina’s for over 10 years and I just want to mention how excellent the service and food are. You receive a local and very welcoming family atmosphere. I ordered the carbonara and was so pleasantly surprised that it also comes with shrimp! The service is always excellent and we’re always received with great attention to detail and friendly staff. I 100% recommend Marcelinas. Also, order the tiramisu for your table. Enjoy!

A quaint Italian restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. All staff members were friendly, and catered to our needs. I had the Eggplant, and Spaghetti and really enjoyed it. There was so much food that I had to take some home. I would definitely eat here again when I have the taste for Italian.

Just had dinner and it was delicious and comforting. Servers were so kind and attentive. My friend and I split a bottle of wine and the beef carpaccio; she had the ravioli and I had the lasagna and no complaints from either of us. Also, the restaurant is decorated for Christmas right now and it felt so cozy.

We drove an hour to get there and it was worth every mile. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The wine pours were very generous and all four of our meals were out of this world. Huge portions with great Italian flavors. The service was super and the prices were just right. Looking forward to going there again real soon!
