This restaurant is a hidden gem tucked away on a corner of Taraval St. Recommended to me by Chester at the Ocean Park Motel, Marcello's was exactly what I was looking for - comforting Italian food, great old school atmosphere and service by waiters in black suits and ties, a neighborhood feel to it. My son and his girlfriend already knew and loved this place and we had a relaxing and wonderful meal and evening in the step-up restaurant area. As you enter, there's a friendly bar with overhead TV for sports but this in no way interferes with the dinner atmosphere in the step-up dining area with white linens and elegant decor with mirrors. The Frank's special salad combines shrimp, avocado and greens with a light vinaigrette. Delicious fresh bread, thin and lightly breaded chicken parmigiana, rich minestrone soup and ravioli bolognese all served at perfect temperature. Prices are reasonable and well worth the value!
