We live right down the street from Marcellino's and have been wanting to try it for a while. My 30th birthday was a few weeks ago, so my husband and I decided that we'd try it out and bring some of my family with us. The place was really nice and the waiters were very knowledgable. My husband was eager to try the filet to compare with a little italian place we go to in Michigan..that has a similar price. My husband and aunt got the filet and were disappointed with the sauce, as it was very vinegary. My dish was good, shrimp & mashed potatoes, but not spectacular and definitely not worth the price. Now the worst, my uncle had the lobster with truffle sauce and mushroom pasta. It was extremely oily and my husband even had a bite and commented on the amount of oil. Later that night, my husband said his belly was upset a bit, but wasn't too bad. Found out a few days later that my uncle was severely ill that night and for 3 days after, which he had considered going to ER because he was throwing up so much. When I found out, I urged him to call Marcellinos, but he said he would never go back anyways and didn't want anything they would offer.
