Chef Marcello Lombardo - INSPIRED BY FOOD AND DRIVEN BY A DREAM
Born in the City of Delights, or more commonly known as Palermo, Italy, Marcello fell in love with cooking from a very young age. Influenced by the crystal clear water, the flavours of the culturally rich air and a little encouragement from his mother, he went on to receive professional training from Milan and owned a restaurant on the Adriatic Sea. Now for over 20 years he's brought his joy of Southern Italian cooking to Vancouver. Marcello's is a neighbourhood gem on Commercial Drive in the heart of little Italy set for any occasion.

We had a good experience, food was good, but felt rushed to get out because it was busy. Our server didn’t come by to top up our water or check up on us.

I ordered the pesto pasta. When it arrived it was already lukewarm warm and almost tasteless which given that it’s pesto was surprising. I also found the the automatic tipping choices shocking: 18, 22, 25 or 30%!!! Given this tip is on the whole amount, it’s asking a lot. I decided to do the custom amount. Not sure if I would go there again.

Awesome food and service. I was there for a business lunch and due to the close proximity of the tables, it was a challenge to have certain sensitive conversations

Great pizza and fun family restaurant. Noise level is high so conversation is a challenge, but ambiance is good. Service is fine, the place is humming. It's a good idea to book as it was busy when we arrived at 5:15pm. Price is mid range and suitable for the type of restaurant. We traditionally go here after the East Van Panto. Make a nice wrap to the Christmas season.

Love the food and dining experience. Very family friendly. Prompt, efficient and courteous service. The sound of happy families and social groups just adds to the atmosphere. My favs. are any of the seafood pasta dishes and focaccia bread… yum!

I hadn't been back since my mother who was the pasta chef for many years there passed away. We decided to bring some family friends there and just like it had been in the past, the entire evening was really lovely. The owner, Marcello has always been kind to my family and his staff just like back then, wonderful! Truly captured a fun evening with great food, excellent cocktails, and amazing friends to connect and share with. If you haven't been yet, it's a definite MUST on the Drive!
