This review is long overdue !! Marcello’s La Sirena is truly a hidden gem. From the moment we walk in, we are treated like family. Every detail of the service is carefully thought out, and the personal attention makes us feel incredibly special. We work in the hospitality industry and they live up to our standards. Marcello always takes the time to greet us personally, which makes the experience even more memorable. The food is incredible. This is hands down the best Italian food you’ll find anywhere in the area. Every dish is crafted to perfection, full of flavor, and always leaves us looking forward to the next visit. The veal dishes and rigatoni vodka are our favorite. We come here for e birthdays and special occasions because it always makes the day feel special but also just because we love it. Their homemade limoncello is an absolute treat, and the wine list is the best you’ll find in Florida. This place is more than a restaurant—it’s an experience we look forward to. We always feel welcomed and appreciated, which is why this has become our favorite restaurant without a doubt. Andre’s always takes great care of us, 10/10 every time! Highly recommend Marcello’s La Sirena to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience.

The food was all very tasty. Also everything was very pricey. They serve one of my favorite (rare to find at a grocery store) vegetables Salsify, as a side so that was a big win for me!!! Very old school cooking with classic Italian/French techniques. Flavorful but a little outdated. Would I go back...?? For the food itself Yes! For the atmosphere and service No! For the Price No! If I was entertaining an older couple who wasn't afraid to spend a hefty amount on dinner but enjoyed old school style of food Yes, Absolutely! Worth visiting once for curiosity but I probably won't be back.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful experiences had dinner in their attic it’s a private room surrounded with shelves of wine difficult to get this private room sometimes 3-6 mths for this experience…. you actually walk through the kitchen immaculate and up a small set of stairs to beautiful dinner the chef absolutely served all of us are some of the best food ever and enjoyed lots of wine. So wonderful to be there with special friends $$$$

There isn't better Italian food in the area. THE BEST Bolognese you will ever have. Coming from a VERY picky Italian, who knows better than to order a red sauce at a restaurant!

Probably the most disappointing restaurant dinner ever. After a great meal the last time we were here, we invited friends who live nearby to join us and told them to expect a great meal. Instead, we had a combination of poor service, mediocre food, small portions and an outrageously expensive bill. The staff only seemed concerned at the end that the small tip amount was in fact, correct and not a mistake. An unforgettable meal for all the wrong reasons

Paid $18 for this alla vodka and there was maybe 12 noodles total, drowned in cheese when I asked for it to be on the side and they charged me an extra $8 for a side of cheese. Biggest rip off of my life extremely disappointed I will never give this place a chance again.

What made our evening even more special was the lovely, friendly, helpful, courteous well mannered guy parking the vehicles. He was a breath of fresh air and a credit to any establishment.

Best authentic family owned resturant, unpretentious yet attention to service and detail is on pointe. Best dinner in town, understated and so flavorful. Old school class!

What I missed most about New York City when I was living in NYC, were the old-school chef-owned and operated Italian restaurants, most of which were owned by Croatians. But I digress... It took nearly five years since I relocated to West Palm, to find Marcello's La Sirena (MLS) but as the adage goes, better late than never. This is by far one of two great old-school Italian restaurants in Palm Beach County; I daresay in all of SoFlo. I've visited several times since my inaugural visit. Each time Chef extraordinaire Marcello Fiorentino was holding court. Occasionally, he would grace the dining room to gauge his exuberant patron's satisfaction with their meals; as any proud king would survey his kingdom alongside Queen Diane, whose domain consisted of all things front-of-house. People enjoyed the Marcello and Diane experience for all the reasons that people--like yours truly--return to restaurants. During my several visits, my guests and I tried just about every menu item and offering du jour. Highlighting one dish from another is tantamount to picking your favorite twin-child. Since I hail from the Aegean I can't help but mention the Langoustine Alla Grilglia dish. Or, Dan's Steak or Crusty Skined Branzino, dishes but that's it, no more standouts because every dish was worth a return trip to MLS. The waitstaff was attentive and efficient. One Yelp reviewer complained and one-star rated MLS citing that "The food is good but the staff (maitre d', in particular) are unfriendly to "the point of rudeness." Is there any establishment that doesn't have an off-night? Some of the legendary places I know up north (Rao's, Peter Lugar, et al) are well known for their great food but perpetually dyspeptic staff but you'll folks return for the food. Contrary to my fellow Yelpers experience and review, MLS performed on all fronts, and writing this review entices me to make rezzies for this evening--if there will even be availability on such short notice.

What struck me about La Sirena is that it is super fancy and yet makes everyone feel welcome! The night we dined there, in the parking lot were 3 Bentleys and a Rolls Royce. I hadn't realized ahead of time what type of restaurant it was, and I actually showed up wearing shorts! And yet--I felt just as comfortable as everyone more properly dressed. There was no false pretensions, no airs, and not even a hint of snootiness. Thank you! And, as others have said, the food was exceptional! It also was reasonably priced for that caliber.

this restaurant has been around for a long time, but this was our first time I would say it was a nice restaurant to go to. small restaurant maybe 20 tables They have tablecloths on !!!very pricey. I had the Bronzino, which was $44 with a salad. We also had a pork chop, which was good and we had the special fish that evening which was $49 and nothing came with it. They gave you a small dish of vegetables for the table which was enough to have three little vegetables each disappointing no bread is served Also, I have an 1/2order of the pasta Bolognese, which was just OK if you have drinks at this restaurant it's a be well over $200 for dinner. for dessert. The desserts were 17 and $23 I had ricotta cheesecake for $17 which I thought was pricey also, we told him it was our anniversary and when we ordered the dessert, they did put happy anniversary, but it was us paying for our own anniversary piece of dessert, which is unusual at restaurant upscale and pricey as this one is !!they usually give you a dessert for special occasion !! they do have valet parking

La Sirena continues to impress. Dinner with my family was fantastic. You can't go wrong with any dish here. Such a joy to be here, where they understand the dining experience, providing food and wine and amazing service on such a high level. Oh yeah, they also have a wine list that's amazing. I'll let the photos I post speak for themselves.

We went here for a birthday celebration on the recommendation of a friend. We reserved the wine room which was lovely and intimate. The food was excellent and the service was even better. They were very accommodating and attentive. My sister was debating between 2 appetizers and said how much she liked roasted red peppers but also wanted the caprese salad so they suggested adding roasted red peppers to her salad. Another member of our party is diabetic and was looking forward to the cheese plate she saw on the dessert menu. When the dessert menu came it was not an option but they made one for her. It was beautifully presented to her as the birthday guest.

Food Service Ambiance, everything was first class. I am from Manhattan and have experienced some of the finest restaurants in the world. La Sirena, in my opinion is on par with most of the finest and expensive restaurants in New York. Is it worth it? I say yes. Give it a try if your budget allows.

The moment we walked in, we were hit with an aroma of burnt garlic. An interesting start, considering we arrived thinking it would be a meal-of-the-year contender. The burrata? Solid. Cacio e pepe? Fantastic. But the clams? Yuck--they tasted like Marcello had been storing them in a toilet. The lobster ravioli was way overcooked, stuffed with knuckle and crusher claw meat that tasted fishy. The chicken parm had decent flavor but lacked texture and binding; the breading was a disaster. My guess? Chef skipped the egg wash due to bird flu and sky-high egg prices. The veal chop had a couple good bites in the middle, but the ends were overcooked, while the meat near the bone was cold and raw. It's very possible it had been cooked from frozen, which would explain the 'rookie ball' execution. Service-wise, the experience was equally off. We weren't thrilled about being forced to order everything at once. By the time we mapped out our courses, we'd been sitting there for 30 minutes--a little bread or something to snack on would have been nice. The customer service was... different. Let's just say one particular person in charge could benefit from a refresher on Dale Carnegie's teachings. Overall, it was a weird experience.

This place is an absolute gem. The inside is small but all so romantic and very nice. The food here is outstanding in every way. They had the pasta dishes in Palm Beach packed with flavor and fresh. I been here twice and every time I go here the experience gets better. The chef comes out to spot check which I love that. He wants to see his customers enjoying their meals. The service here from all the staff is absolutely superb. They have enough servers that all work well together and stay on top of their tables so smoothly. It's one of the things my spouse pointed out. It's a true treat to come to this place. We will most definitely be back to little Italy !

Yelp
Food and service all very terrific. Every dish was delicious and I highly recommend the restaurant. We had the burrata appetizer, Cacio y Pepe, Pasta Bolognese, and the Veal Parmagiana. All were fabulous especially the Bolognese. The only complaint I had is the charge you $6 for a piece of seasoned focaccia. It seemed petty to me. Otherwise go enjoy a fabulous old style Italian dinner.

Pork Valdostano was excellent. Vegetables flavorless. Service lacks some polish. No liquor bar possibly, wine was all that seemed available when I was there. I would return but I wouldn't race there.

I was there tonight and was very disappointed. First of all, I felt very rushed. We barely sat down when one of the suits gave us the specials. We had appetizers and once we were finished with them, our main courses were being brought to the table. I felt that our meal was being timed. I also complained to a manager that our side orders of pasta were very hard and even though I like al dente pasta, these were way undercooked. He saw that we barely ate it yet we were charged $14 each side order anyway. There are plenty of great restaurants around Jupiter and West Palm Beach where I can have a relaxing, enjoyable dinner far less expensively than La Sirena.

Excellent staff and for the small portions I had was good . But, I had ordered lobster ravioli that cost $40 with tax and tip. I got 4 ,that's right, four small ravioli that cost me $10 each with not one taste of lobster Sauce was bland and I thought that it tasted like Ragu sauce . It was laughable and will not return. FYI ,wife's fish was excellent $168 with tip and I'm still hungry

3 of us came here for Dinner tonight, The sauce was terrible on My ravioli dish , It tasted burnt. Noone came over to see how our food was for me to tell them, I scrapped off as much of the sauce as I could but it was not enjoyable at all. At the end of the meal I asked to speak to my waiter, he couldn't care a less. For a 30.00 pasta dish some compensation should have been offered. Nothing was offered . . I would never return or recommend this place .

West Palm Beach has a great place on Dixie Hwy. La Sirena. Been around a long while. It's a high point on the south side of WPB, shortly before Lake Worth. The food aroma within is out of this world incredible. The suggestion is that every thing on the menu is incredible! The mark of a five star place. I had the Scampi Marcello, it was out of this world Glorioso Sumpremeis! It also carries the same name as the composer Benedetto Marcello, of Baroque era music. His father Alessandro was also a composer. Back to the food, the Shrimp Scampi was amazing. The garlic was signature perfect, the shrimp quality was the very finest, as if it had come off of a shrimp boat in downtown Savannah, Georgia!!! And you're missing out, if you don't go have the Marcello shrimp scampi at La Serena!!

The service was horrible. It makes me so sad to say I had a horrible time somewhere while I was vacationing with my family but this place was bad. We all left feeling weird. The 6 of us were sat at a table for max 4 and our waiter gave up and sent a new one when we asked 'too many' questions. We were served bad wine which was suggested as well as expensive. We could get better service at a mall food court.

Stunning wine list. Enormous. Unfortunately the person they sent over as the wine steward was not good with their recommendations, way off actually. I feel they didn't even know the list. We asked for one style and when we opened the bottle it was completely different style. Food was good but considering the cost of a 700 dollar meal (including wine) for three people should have been significantly better. Cafe Sapori wins out.

You need a reservation! The service & food were great. Don't do the valet. Upscale Italian restaurant with good options.

The food is good but the staff (maitre d', in particular) are unfriendly to "the point of rudeness. Example: With third pouring of wine, we asked if we might hold off for our entree. Response: Okay but you will need to pour it yourself. Trevini and Sant Ambroeus, or even Cafe Sapori in West Palm Beach, are far better and without the attitude or length lead time for a reservation. Avoid. Living on reputation. This is the Bloomingdale's of Italian restaurants, definitely not Bergdorf's.

Holy moly. First class Italian dining at its finest in west palm beach! My only complaint was their ridiculous huge wine list of bottles and just a Scant few choices for glasses only?. We ordered lobster ravioli that was filled with sweet succulent soft meat, veal stuffed chicken that was sooo tender, flavorful, pasta with amazing light sauce, escargots drowning in garlic butter, oooooh..... desserts ugh..... 4000 calories later we left very happy!, the staff were the best most attentive crew you would ever want to wait on you!

Amazing from start to finish, I cannot wait to go back. Diane and team were incredibly welcoming and professional from the second we entered, clearly experts in their field. The food was amazing, we tried the specials and regular menu items, and my only regret is not ordering doubles of the lobster ravioli (wanted to lick the plate it was that good). The attention to detail in everything, from the food, wine list/pairings, right down to the artwork was beautiful and unique. It was one of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time and I will definitely be going back. Whether it's a special occasion or just in need of a night out, I highly recommend making la sirena your go to!

Practically grew up in this restaurant.. this was my grandparent's favorite place to eat. It was where my grandmother celebrated her last birthday, where we held my aunt's baby shower and countless other celebrations. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Marcello and Diane truly show their heart for Italian food at this restaurant. Something to note is that they close down the restaurant every year around summer time to spend their summers in Italy. My family and I recently spent some time in Italy and of course asked Marcello where to go. He recommended a restaurant in Capri. We told the chef at this Caprese restaurant that we knew Marcello and I swear that place treated us like family! Love La Sirena and I hope to go before he closes for the season!

Interesting place. It's a wine store with food. The wine list here is like a Dickens novel. Two binders - over 1000 choices. More work than entertainment. They push the wine...hard. You'll be asked several times if you want to order a bottle - before you even get a menu. Don't know about other people, but I like to order wine that I think will pair well with my meal and I certainly need to know what the others at the table are having so you don't order a heavy red when half the table is eating fish. Anyway, there are no bargains on the wine list, but you will see outstanding hard to find wine at tip top prices. I did pick a well-worth-the-price wine, which had good reviews on CellarTracker. Unfortunately, less than 10% of the wines on the list were less than $100. I don't mind ordering expensive wine - but when it's over $100, I expect the rest of the experience to be complimentary to the expense of the wine. But if I'm going to buy a $600 bottle, it won't be here because.... The food is good, not great. Small, cramped dining room looks tired. My favorite part of the meal was an appetizer size of perfectly cooked homemade fettuccine. Everything else ordered was more complicated and just ok. I suggest the owners take next summer to paint the place, get new curtains and burn the 1990s fabric furniture out in the parking lot. Throw away the old menu selections and try to execute really good (more modern) Italian food. (Oreganato? In 2018? Please.) Auction off most of the wine and offer a well curated small list that rotates regularly. Give people a reason to come back repetitively.

The food is excellent. Just a few issues that need to be addressed. - there is no vaping allowed inside restaurants in Florida. They should pay more attention to what customers are doing. Quite a turn off to other patrons. - there is also a no pet law in Florida restaurants. It is against the law. So not only having a dog in a carrying case against the law but putting it on your lap and having it almost on the table is no better. We all need to follow the rules. No one is above them.

I visited this restaurant for the first time last night. Food overall was very good with a nice selection. I had the lobster ravioli, which had an amazing sauce on it. The crème brûlée was outstanding. I also had the baked clams. I would definitely not recommend those. The bread crumbs tasted stale or previously frozen. The salads were very good. My husband had a gluten-free pasta dish that he described as one of the best things he had ever eaten. Unfortunately, this entire night was ruined ...There was a group of 7 men in their 60s who monopolized the entire restaurant. They were loud, obnoxious, crude, sexist and racist. They were making sexual gestures to each other when describing jokes. I found them extremely offensive and would have liked the staff to address this. Unfortunately, it was never addressed because they were ordering an immense amount of food and wine. So I guess to the owners the money from this one table mattered more to them than the surrounding guest. I will never return because it is way too small, and the acoustics are horrible. Also, when we first sat down, we were given the specials and wine list from the owner. She was not welcoming at all. Very disappointed.

This restaurant is definitely a Fibe Dining Experience. From the minute you walk in, the Ambiance is amazing. Managers and Servers are incredible. Food is a 10. We had lentil soup, Shrimp Scampi with garlic and butter sauce to die for, fettuccine with meat sauce, a fabulous Brunello wine and flowerless chocolate cake. Can't wait to go back. One of the best restaurants I've been to in 23 years living in Florida. Five Star Rating from me

My Mom and her friend went for dinner at La Sirena last week. She is 90 years old and he lr friend in 88. She ordered a glass of wine. It wasn't cold, so asked for an ice cube. They told her that that would be an additional $2.00. She reluctantly agreed. She then got her Caesar salad and asked if they could chop it for her, as her hands shake. They then informed her that they would have to charge her an additional $5.00 to chop the salad for her. Can anyone really justify going to a restaurant like this? I was horrified when I heard about her meal at La Sirena. Shame on them!

I'm so disappointed, ranted and raved about the food and came back with 3 others couples tonight to celebrate a birthday. They initially set up a tiny table for 8, a table which might fit 6...only after we said something did they put a larger table top on. Escargot was terribly salty, buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes was good. My veal zingara didn't even taste remotely the same as last time, it wasn't hot when it was served, and the sauce was reddish in color this time. Our friends enjoyed the risotto, gnocchi and cannelloni. Hubs had the chicken stuffed with veal which I found terrible, too salty and the texture unappealing. The flourless chocolate cake was bitter, odd tasting. Creme brûlée was good. A very different impression than my first time here I'm afraid...consistency is what I expect and this fell well short.

This service was DESPICABLE. I have never wanted to give a review before this place but the service was so bad I couldn't let it go. Our party of 6 came in for our 8pm reservation at 7:55pm and we're told our table was still checking out, fine. 10 minutes later we were asked to pick our wine out at the bar, fine. 10 minutes following that, we were seated at a table for possibly 4 people with our party of 6. The servers were rude and impatient, unhelpful and unfriendly as it was our first time dining. They didn't offer a desert menu, we had to ask and then proceeded to let us know they were out of most items while still serving some after the fact. They ignored us when we asked for more wine or even the check. They truly did not want us in their establishment. Everyone was dressed appropriately and acted as anyone should in a nice restaurant. Disappointing and we are left very unsatisfied.

Such a great little place. Been here a few times now. It's very classy, kind of old school, but always delicious. You do not need to wear a jacket or tie for this place, however all the staff is dressed up and are always very attentive. I would recommend to start off with their Caesar salad, it has a great briny-ness to it like all good Caesars should because of the anchovies. Then share a fresh pasta dish. Their simple pasta with the house tomato sauce is just perfect. Then maybe finish with veal selection or one of their nightly specials. Either way you can't go wrong. They only serve wine. So if you're looking for a martini you'll need to have one at home before you go. They have a nice selection of wines under $50 a bottle so you don't need to break the bank. Enjoy!

Where Elegance meets comfort, and where quality is never overlooked! Everything from the artwork and ambiance, to the service and food was exceptional. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and helpful (honestly the wine list is incredible). The service was on point and seamless between each course. The menu was exceptional, and the daily specials made making one decision was too difficult because everything was tempting, so we split two meals; Lobster ravioli and the veal cutlet. The Lobster ravioli was stuffed full of cold water lobster and tossed in the most delightful and light tomato cream sauce. The meal... the meal.. the veal! The veal cutlet was impressively tender while coated with a surprisingly crispy crust. Not one bite remained. The artwork was very personal and real which contributed to the intimate and comfortable environment. Ps. The current menu design is fun and catchy If you do want to dine here- make a reservation and be prepared to relax and enjoy a wonderful evening of wine and gourmet food.

Excellent food and service and an amazing wine list. You can't go wrong with this restaurant. If you love authentic Italian food this is the place to go. We drive an hour each way from Fort Lauderdale to get to this restaurant. Make reservations way ahead of time it's always too busy for walk-in.

Absolutely perfect. Small, old school, classic and delicious. They only open for a few hours and make sure to get a reservation because tables fill up quickly. Simple menu, nothing flashy. Traditional upscale Italian done right. Best Italian in Palm Beach area and worth the drive from Boca, Del Ray, Fort Lauderdale... and beyond. The salads and apps are simple and refreshing. The meats are cooked to perfection, and the pasta warms your soul. My favorite dish is the classic Rigatoni a la vodka. If you order the half portion you'll get a diet little bowl of heaven. It seems almost like the heat the plates so none of the pasta ever gets cold! A restaurant that is simply timeless, effortless delicious, and overall classy. Oh and don't forget the incredible selection of wine! This place is a gem!!!

Service was excellent.... ambiance was very very nice.... Bruschetta was great.... Desert was great as well.... Entrees left a lot to be desired.... The 39.00 Branzino was terrible and the chicken entree was subpar. Final bill was 158.00 includes 25.00 tip which was way over priced for the meal my wife and I consumed. Definitely will not be returning....

Sadly, we had a very unpleasant dining experience last night. Normally known for its fine food and excellent service, La Serena's performance last night was abysmal at best. Attentiveness to our needs was seriously lacking from the start. We arrived on time for our reservation, but had to wait to be seated despite many empty tables. After being seated, we ordered drinks but had to wait an eternity to get them. This was also true for our food order. When we complained about the service, the owner's response was to leave if we weren't happy with the service-- very unprecedented for a restaurant of its purported caliber. Not surprisingly, the people at the next table were also griping about the service which the owner said was due to their late arrival notwithstanding the fact that there were only five tables in use. As to the food, it was very marginal--all the food was incredibly salty. So, a long awaited evening out with friends due to COVID turned into a very unpleasant experience. I fear this restaurant has been resting on its laurels. Unfortunately, I think it is beyond its prime. We won't be back. Update: some friends of ours at our club dined there two nights ago - same negative feedback on the restaurant. Seems it has lost its enthusiasm and verve. Service and cuisine have gone downhill.

Do you remember that place your parents would take you to for a special occasion, where the waiters are dressed spotlessly, the table was set to perfection and you knew you had to have your best manors , that's La Sirena. Its old school , fine dining , every diner is treated like they are special. The food is perfection with a menu that goes beyond the usual Italian dishes. The owner is the chef , second generation, taking over the kitchen in 1996 from his Dad. Obviously they choose specials based on what is the best and the fresh. Service is TOP SHELF! The staff well versed in the menu, obviously been working here long term and everyone takes pride in their work. Think you might like a nice bottle of wine? Well bring your reading glasses , the wine menu like reading "War & Peace" of wine, anything you could ever dream of, they have!

My friends and family hosted a beautiful engagement party for me in the wine room at this lovely restaurant. The food was absolutely outstanding and the service was exceptional. Everyone at the restaurant made a special night for me even more special. I cannot wait to go back!

This is a very special too small absolutely delicious restaurant. It is time for them to move to a bigger place and get a liquor license. It was delightful when they had outdoor seating.

Amazing food! Private lot parking, place is not very big, tables pretty close together but cozy environment! We were greeted promptly when we arrived and seated right away. Water and bread came right away, and the wine list book! (Large selection of wine!!). Next they bring the menu and let us know the special of the night. I ordered the buffalo mozzarella salad to start (delicious), and had the roasted duck with cherry glaze sauce on a bed of risotto (omg so good). Ended the evening with cream brûlée and a double espresso. Prices are ok, around 200 dollars a couple (app, main, dessert and wine). The service was amazing! Food was excellent, can't wait till return.

This is not a real Italian food restaurant. This is a New York American Italian style food. The sauce of my gnocchi alla sorrentina was really bad. My wife ordered Lumache with Polenta. We are both Italians from Rome. I am also a chef. That dish was full of garlic (where in Italy you eat with so much garlic, and slide in big pieces?), mixed in a heavy sauce that will not let you sleep. The risotto cacio e pepe (cacio is a particular cheese), was made with other cheese, not with cacio. The bread and butter were fine. The worst part after eating all this "cheap" food, was the check. So expensive that we left that place really angry. Never ever will go back. If you want to eat real Italian food in America, first be sure that the owners were borned in Italy and work in the kitchen.
