The atmosphere created is one of quiet comfort in surroundings reminiscent of an Italian villa. The friendly and courteous staff, the outstanding food, and the efficient service all contribute to the ambiance felt by those who visit the restaurant.

I had another of Osteria Romana's risotto specials, and it was very good. The shrimp with crqb stuffing served atop the risotto is a nice touch. The polenta with tomato sauce, an appetizer, was good, but definitely not worth the price. Another guest had the fettuccine bolognese and enjoyed it. This restaurant could up its bread quality - the bread was cold and rather gummy;. The noise level on a Saturday night was not pleasant, but this has nothing to do with the food

We really enjoyed our dinner at Marcelo’s. We started with the roasted beet salad and the Italian Calamari. The calamari was amazing. The sauce was so good we used our bread to get every drop. I had the cod and my husband had the pasta with the short rib. Bother we’re very good. We had great and attentive service. We will definitely be back.
