Marcello Ristorante

This place is an absolute hidden gem! If you are craving seriously authentic, fresh Italian food- you really need to dine here. I had the wild caught blue crab cake, linguine with bolognese sauce and the nuova capri salad which was similar to caprese but elevated to a whole new level. Everything is delicious- but you’ll know that when you walk in and are instantly surrounded by heavenly aromas. The staff is absolutely incredible, so kind courteous and attentive. Paulo is so cheerful and knowledgeable, if he recommends anything- it’s worth trying! The owners are so sweet and taking painstaking care to ensure a wonderful experience. I have been a life long loyal customer to another Italian Restaurant in town, and I am happy to say Marcello’s Ristorante is officially my new favorite go to for

5 stars! Marcello Ristorante in Thousand Oaks exceeded our expectations! We started with the Strozzapreti al parmigiano e gorgonzola (potato gnocchi, parmigano & gorgonzola) and Suppli (rice balls with peas & mozzarella) - both were delicious! For our mains, the chicken Marsala was cooked to perfection with a rich Marsala wine mushroom sauce, and the Salmone con tapenade e spinaci was flavorful and fresh. Great service and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend! 🍝

Hidden gem, hole in the wall Italian food. Best creme brulee for dessert. I am a sucker for their egg noodle pasta. We have tried so many different appetizers and main dishes and everything is always good. The seafood salad special is great.

Paolo and Jose were lovely. The food is delicious and the service was even better! Nice quiet night with my mom. She goes here frequently and it was my first time.

Best Italian restaurant in town. The food is authentic and very well cooked. The calamari looks like other typical Italian restaurants but don't let it fool you. The taste is exceptional. And it pairs well with the sauce too. My wife got a tagliata di manzo. The truffle oil on thinly sliced pieces of steak is a genius creation. I got a ossobuco which came with well flavored risotto and tendered veal. Overall, highly recommended place. The service can be a little slow but relax, take a sip of wine and dine like You're in Italy. Food will come out eventually.
