Marcello's Cucina Italiana - Italian restaurant in Sunriver - 57031 Ponderosa Rd, USA

We had a great night here! We enjoyed the specials (crab risotto and rib eye) as well as some regular menu items, all of which were great. The flavor profiles are unique and much more Italy than Olive Garden. Our server was fantastic, informative, and quick. The atmosphere is dark and romantic, flickering electric candles and all! The sleeper favorite menu item was the orange Italian cream soda! 🍊

The food was delicious, although the sauce wasn't creamy enough but the service was immaculate. The only reason I would give a 4 star is because a decoration was placed in front of the back exit doors and I didn't like that. Overall I would recommend!

It's been a while since I've been to an Italian restaurant and I was hoping this would be a reason I would like to give Italian food another try since my last experience wasn't pleasant. I am pleased to say my experience with Marcello's was great! We ordered the Salmon Piccata and it was delicious! The house bread was also very good and in my opinion it was better than the Garlic Bread. The service was friendly and checked in with us at the right time for drink refills or food. We were very full and satisfied.

While visiting Sunriver in a rental home, my family decided to order takeout from the nearby Marcello's. Overall, we really enjoyed the food. I thought that their cheesy garlic bread tasted fantastic, especially when dipped into the Alfredo sauce. I wasn't too pleased with the soggy texture of my fettuccine noodles personally, but I was the only one in home who thought mine were too limp. For high quality Italian cuisine, their prices were pretty reasonable.

Delicious food. We tried their signature cheese bread, cheese ravioli with chicken and Alfredo sauce and pollo allo romano. The desserts were also good. We tried tiramisu and gelato. Would recommend coming here.

Excellent entrees although the scallops contained a bit of sand. Great service and professionalism. Atmosphere is relaxing and definitely not packed to the brim like many of the other restaurants in the area. We thought the antipasto was not the best and the cheesecake was okay, but the entrees were exquisite enough on their own to make up for this. I would dine here again.

We went here for my husband’s Birthday. We had both wonderful food and service. I got the salmon piccata. The dish was super flavorful and nice portions.

Our family of 5 made a reservation for 5pm for Dinner on a Sunday night. We had a lovely table and everyone was super friendly. However, our service was very slow and it took 2.5 hrs for us to eat. The slow service is not a relfection of the servers as they were very friendly, but it appeared to us they were understaffed. It took 90 minutes for us get our dinner and when we did get food we werr very underwhelemed at the quality of food for the steep pricetag. I would not recommend this place for a nice dinner. We have heard good things about the bar area, but as we had our kids with us we did not get to have that experience.
