Marcello's Father and Son

My wife and I use to go every other weekend to the Logan square location Unfortunately it closed down But this location definitely did not disappoint Everything was delicious

Like many restaurants, these days there did not appear to be enough wait staff, but our waitress was helpful and did her best. The servings were really big. I had the gluten-free pasta with baked mostaccioli on top and it was delicious with the garlic basil sauce. I Friends had the Eggplant Parmesan with three giant slices of eggplant and they loved it. I think it’s a little dark in the restaurant but it’s very attractive. Be aware to go in the door to the right because the door to the left is not marked and it looks like it is for the restaurant, but it is for a banquet section And we thought the restaurant was closed at first. Also, when it got crowded, the waitress would not do separate bills, and we had to divide the bill up equally between the three of us. Further, there was a charge for charging the bill.

We’re from Chicago and one of the staple places growing up was Father and Son in Logan Square. It’s sadly been gone and I was surprised to hear that Marcello’s still existed in Northbrook. The service was incredible and the food was SPOT ON! It brought back so many memories. My family will surely continue coming.

I tried the garlic oregano broasted chicken and the candied walnut pizza. Both were excellent. The chicken was a bit more oily though

Great for large family dining or large groups. Booths for couples too. Table seating can be arranged to meet needs of groups. Seems to be a neighborhood favorite. My pasta was so delicious. The server was very helpful. The appetizers were yummy, especially the Garlic Parmesan bread sticks! Actually all of the appetizers were tasty. Everyone's food was served fresh and hot. Great atmosphere. Everything was so delicious. There was an 8th grade graduation party in the party room. Fun atmosphere, very welcoming and comfortable.

My wife threw a surprise birthday party for me. I've loved this place since my childhood when they had the location in Logan Square. This was by far the BEST experience I've had celebrating Any event at any Restaurant in the past. Our Server and the Manager both were AMAZING and went above and beyond to make it special. Truly a memorable experience and will now be our go to for any future celebrations/special events. The last time that I've felt this well cared for was our wedding. I felt Valued as a guest/customer. This was already one of my favorite pizza places from my childhood but they have really raised the bar. Thank you everyone for an Amazing and Memorable 40th Birthday.

Marcellos is a great restaurant for so many reasons. First off, the food is great. I've not had anything that wasn't good. Second, they have a great space for parties and events. They have 2 smaller rooms that really aren't small at all. But they can take down the wall to make it into a much larger room. They can host events much larger than you'd imagine. Great service, generous drinks, and the owner is a kind, generous, and charitable man who gives back to the community. Go here.

The thin crust pizza is great. They were nice to comp a brownie for the birthday child. But alas, I had gripes about our visit for dinner with 5 people. The Shrimp Scampi pasta was advertised for $21 on the website menu, at the restaurant it was $26. You get 5 shrimps in your pasta, which tasted just ok and swimmed in butter. On our bill: A whopping 22% automatic tip for a party of 5, undisclosed beforehand. I mean the service was good, but not warranting this percentage. A 4% fee added on top for paying with a credit card, also undisclosed beforehand. So you leave feeling fleeced, and that is the end of it.
