MarcelloRistorante - Italian restaurant in Thousand Oaks - 140 W Hillcrest Dr, USA

Best Italian restaurant in town. The food is authentic and very well cooked. The calamari looks like other typical Italian restaurants but don't let it fool you. The taste is exceptional. And it pairs well with the sauce too. My wife got a tagliata di manzo. The truffle oil on thinly sliced pieces of steak is a genius creation. I got a ossobuco which came with well flavored risotto and tendered veal. Overall, highly recommended place. The service can be a little slow but relax, take a sip of wine and dine like You're in Italy. Food will come out eventually.

This is my favorite Italian restaurant. As soon as we moved to TO from the LA area, we found this hidden gem. The service and food is amazing. My husband and I dine in and order takeout here often and whenever we have family in town we bring them in as well!

I came here last night for dinner without reservation for two. It was very busy but the service was top notch. Two servers paid attention to us. We thought the dinner was so reasonably priced even after ordering two wines, two appetizers, and two main courses that were filling and delicious (~$160). Great local spot for authentic Italian food and great service. It’s a nice place to spend dinner evening without feeling rushed.

This place is overrated and overpriced. Im a huge supporter of local restaurants and businesses but I don’t think I could order from here again. The Squash ravioli was bland and boring, with an overpowering taste of sage and earthly undertones. It did not have the traditional sweet sauce you would imagine. The red sauce did not pair nicely, and it felt the like ravioli was fried in a oil. The lasagna was good but big chunks of cheese not melted deep inside. Had good flavor but it was a total of $42 tonight for a very disappointing meal. Would not order from here again.

Nice place - they were able to seat us pretty quickly on a Friday night. I was disappointed in their tea selection. Honestly, the tea was disgusting. The food was good but not worth the price.

The food was ok and wasn’t bad (swordfish and some beef dish) but they were overpriced in my opinion. The server was friendly and attentive but it took them a while to seat a party of 2 when there were barely any customers. Overall, decent food but honestly not worth the price…

This is perfect Italian Fine dining. Always delicious food and wonderful service! Attentive waiters and Italians abounding. A lovely place to enjoy with family and friends.

This place has the best food. We try different dishes every time we go & every time it is amazing. Great service as well.
