Marcello's Restaurant & Wine Bar

LOVE LOVE LOVE this amazing little place in downtown Covington! Amazing wine and the espresso martini was delightful! Everything was fantastic: the service, ambiance, FOOD!!! I ordered the lasagna and it was exquisite!! Highly recommend this gem in downtown Covington! We came here after our trip to Italy and were not disappointed!

I've been here before and it was pretty good then I was very disappointed with my veal dish tonight not only that the tomato sauce had very little flavor and no seasoning. Unfortunately the cheesecake was a letdown. Also they have very good service and it's a beautiful little place I just hope they improve their food.

A truly special dining experience: admittedly we've always loved the feel of this restaurant and have always had good meals, but this week's dinner was exceptional. Can't say enough about Chris, our server; he was very attentive, knowledgeable, personable, and downright likeable. We sat at a 2-person high top that gave the feel of a private dining room. I selected a wonderful moderately priced Valpolicella Ripasso, which Chris lightly chilled. He and his kitchen staff were very attentive to my wife's dietary limitations and prepared beautifully seared sea scallops over sautéed spinach for her. I ordered the fish of the day, initially announced as triple tail but changed to tuna after they were sold out of triple tail. I love both, so not to worry. My tuna was cooked perfectly rare, served with a delicious lemon caper mushroom sauce and especially flavorful asparagus. We began with a Caprese salad, which was an ideal first course. Tab was around $150 before tip, an excellent value meal and a whole lot of fun besides.

Wow! My first experience in Covington has been fantastic!! At Marcello's I ordered the shrimp arrabbiata. Perfect level of spice and flavor! This was fantastic! If you are in Covington, you must check out Marcellos

We loved Marcello's! The service was great, and the food came out quickly. Each dish was delicious. I loved the linguine tritone, and my husband ate his entire dish of Pork Cheek Marsala along with the leftovers of my pasta because they were both so tasty. Also, the tiramisu was unreal! Perfect ending to the meal.

What a wonderful hidden gem! Had a girls' Christmas dinner here last night and couldn't have asked for a better place to dine. Reservations were very easy to make, as we only had 4 in our party. The ambiance was PERFECT down to the lighting, music, and quaintness of this establishment. Our server Austin was a doll, the food was DIVINE, and the experience was unmatched. Thank you, Marcello's!

JJTwo visits...great wine selection, wife and I tried four different entrees, more than satisfied. Bringing sister-in-law here this week for her birthday. I highly recommend this high class restaurant!Italian Comfort Food Braised Short Rib. N

Authenticate Italian food in the heart of Covington! A great combination of familiar Italian dishes and some truly authentic ones. The staff is super nice, accomodating, and attentive. While the menu isn't huge there is likely to something to satisfy anyone. Bottle by the wine is a little different as you browse their cooler (white) and shelf (red) and select whichever you'd like to drink. Personally, I'd just like a wine list and top picks (yah I'm lazy) to make the process a little easier.We had the Parmigiana (chicken parmesan) and Molli (sauteed chicken with angle hair pasta and artichoke hearts) chicken and finished with the Tiramisu. You could tell the pasta. sauces and all ingredients were fresh and homemade. This was a really delicious meal, that surprisingly, didn't leave us feeling stuffed, just the right amount of everything!I would like to see a baked or fried (breaded) ravaoli appetizer and a few more classic Italian dishes on the menu wouildn't hurt either, but overall a great place for a delicious Italian meal!

Yes, I like this restaurant. My husband and I shared the most delicious shrimp dish. It was so tasty. It was shrimp and artichoke. I will be back there again for that delicious dish. My husband really liked it too. Nice service and nice atmosphere very pleasant waiter and knowledge.

We really enjoyed Marcelo! I am allergic to gluten/wheat, and their gf pasta was delicious. They even asked to specify whether it was just a gluten allergy or celiacs to let the chef know. There is also an option for zucchini noodles.
