“ First time here and for Easter dinner w the Family. I had to Easter prix fixed menu and we all enjoyed the food and the service. I will come back again. I recommend coming and eating the delicious food. ”

“ Our family found hearty comfort with Marchellos "red-sauce" Italian food. Each of our orders was delicious and cooked with the care of a home-cooked meal. Good wine and a full bar. Everything was a good value for the price. Marchellos Neighborhood Italian is a standout here in Denver. DO NOT MISS THE KEY LIME PIE - It's the real deal, made with real Key Limes! (I'm from the FL Keys and can vouch for it) ”

“ We just moved to the area and were looking for some small-family owned businesses to support over the big chains. Marchellos delivered across the board! I had the lasagna and my husband had the stuffed shells, both were great. I had a cocktail which was a great value and the service was excellent. My husband said the homemade key lime pie was one of the best he's eaten! The value for money is excellent and the owner took the time to introduce himself and tell us about the place. We will definitely be back! ”

“ I was on vacation and decided to try this place for lunch. Super friendly staff, they welcomed me and I was promptly seated. It wasn't terribly long and before I knew it I was being served a full plate of hot and delicious meat lasagna. Definitely a great dining experience and I will most assuredly be back ”

“ Visited for the first time tonight, we did make a reservation, was promptly greeted and seated when we arrived. Loved the interior and how clean the restraunt was. Our server Alyssa greeted us with a smile, took our drink orders and then proceed to advise of the specials of the night. We had the fried zucchini and cheese sticks for the appetizer, they were fried perfectly. My husband who judges his Italian dining experience based of the linguine and clams in a white wine sauce, he did say it was tasty and seasoned perfectly. I had the pasta caprese and it was amazing and light with the fresh mozzarella. It was well worth the 30 minute drive and we will definitely visit again as there were many other menu items to try. ”

“ My wife and I shared sausage and peppers and lasagna, mozzarella sticks, and soup. Service was impeccable (thank you Calvin), the food was very flavorful, and the atmosphere was pure Italy. Looking forward to our next visit! Bring family and friends. The owners Sandy and Marshall are so gracious! ”

“ If you know me, you know I have been on a mission to find the best eggplant parmigiana, meatballs, and lasagna around the greater Charlotte area. Today, I took a drive to Denver to continue the search and finally found my top spot: Marchellos Neighborhood Italian. Marchellos is tucked inside a strip mall and opened back in August. It is not fancy, just a perfect no-frills Italian restaurant where you can bring the family or stop in for a casual meal. The decor threw me off at first. Behind the host stand is a framed photo of Adam Sandler from Happy Gilmore at the putting green. Looking around the restaurant, I realized they had various photos of movies and actors from the 80s and 90s, giving the place a fun and casual atmosphere. My server Calvin was super friendly and helpful when I asked questions about the menu. I also had the chance to meet Marshall, the owner, who runs Marchellos with his partner Sandy. They are from Long Island, New York, and previously owned two Italian restaurants there along with another one in the Hamptons. You can tell right away they know how to make NY Italian American style food the right way. Almost everything except the pastas are made fresh in-house. I am incredibly grateful they brought their Sicilian Italian expertise down here. The menu is reasonably priced and offers a wide variety. You will find brick oven pizzas, seafood dishes, heroes, Italian American classics, homemade desserts, and even a gluten-free menu. They also have a full bar, 5 margaritas on Wednesdays, and half-priced bottles of wine on Tuesdays. A large chalkboard wall highlights the daily specials, but today I was focused on the eggplant parmigiana, lasagna, and meatballs. Before my meal came out, they served a complimentary basket of warm, soft garlic flatbread. A great start. Here is what I ordered: • Eggplant and Chicken Parmigiana Combo with a side of spaghetti and tomato sauce, and the Soup of the Day (Stuffed Pepper Soup) The stuffed pepper soup was hearty and delicious, with a tomato base full of ground beef, diced peppers, tomatoes, and onions. Now to the Eggplant Parmigiana: This was exactly what I have been searching for. The eggplant was expertly fried with the skin removed, sliced longways, and baked under a layer of bubbly mozzarella. No frozen pre-breaded eggplant rounds here. The red sauce had a slight sweetness, which I personally prefer. It was perfect. The Chicken Parmigiana was also great. It was pounded thin, breaded, fried, topped with the same red sauce, and finished with melted mozzarella cheese. I also ordered the Baked Pasta Combo to go, which included: • Lasagna: A traditional NY Italian American style lasagna with layers of mozzarella, ricotta, meat, red sauce, and pasta sheets. A solid, hearty choice. • Meatballs: Two meatballs with a perfect firm but tender texture. They held together well without falling apart and were seasoned spot-on. • Stuffed Shells: Exactly what you would expect. Pasta shells filled with ricotta cheese and topped with red sauce. A dependable choice if that is your go-to dish. For dessert, I grabbed two of their homemade options to take home: • Key Lime Pie: Made by one of the owners who has roots in Fort Lauderdale. It had a whipped yet dense filling with the perfect amount of tart key lime flavor. The graham cracker crust was a little softer and thinner than I usually like but complemented the pie well. • Italian Ricotta Cheesecake: Served with your choice of sauce. I went with caramel. To be clear, this is not your typical NY-style cheesecake that is dense and cream cheese based. This is a true Italian ricotta cheesecake, lighter with a smooth texture and a subtle sweetness from the ricotta. It tasted like a homemade family recipe. I would absolutely order this again. ”

“ Three of us ate there today. It was a delightful experience. The appetizers, salad and entrees were scrumptious - especially the calamari. The service was first rate. Super nice place. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you. ”
