My friend and I went to Italy and were dying for some authentic italian food when we got back to the states. A couple months later my friend called me up and told me she had found the perfect place for us. The next time I came out from California to visit we went to Marcellnino's and I was sold! So much so that we went back again the next night! Now every time I come to visit we ALWAYS have to eat Marcellino's. The customer service is outstanding, the homemade pastas are out of this world and Sima and Marcellino are the perfect hosts. I feel at home every time I come to eat. Not sure what some refer to as small portions because I have been full every time. Try the Osso Bucco with Risotto...so good that I could cry and meat so tender that I never even had to pick up my knife! Marcellino's Ragus are outstanding as well! If you love authentic Italian food then you will love Marcellinos!
Pros: The Food! The Wine! Sima and Marcellino!
Cons: I wish there was one here in Sacramento!
