"The place was rammed on a Tuesday night which meant that service took a while, but it was friendly and accommodating. Once we ordered, food came out pretty quick despite it being busy. The food is average, nothing to rave on about like so many people here. I’d recommend the goats cheese starter for sure. The mains dishes are plentiful but if you’re after elegance, you might want to head somewhere else. Oh, and it’s dirt cheap!

"We had a delightful evening meal at this restaurant. We went on a quiet midweek evening, although the weather was bad. We enjoyed a bottle of house red wine for only £15. Our starters included liver and Lohmacun flatbread with spices and lamb, which were both flavorful and generous portions. For our main course, we had chicken guvec and another dish (I can't remember the name) with chicken, garlic, mushrooms, and onions in a creamy sauce, both served with rice in large portions. We were too full to have dessert. The total bill came to less than £60, which we thought was fabulous value."

"We ordered takeaway, which is usually quite good, but tonight we were disappointed. We ordered a pasta dish that was advertised to have "steak strips," but when it arrived, it contained only about five tiny cubes of steak. To make matters worse, they also forgot one of our portions of chips. Every other experience we've had has been great, but tonight was not acceptable. Service was delivery."

"Recommended to come here and eat before attending a concert. Found a table and sat down and after 10mins a waitress came and took our order which was our starters and mains. Starter arrived in good time we had the fireman's sharing board which was really nice and big enough for four people to share and our 2 for 1 cocktails also arrived in good time and were nice. Then after that it went downhill we waited over an hour after we had finished our starter for our mains I asked a waitress to see where our meals were when clearly we knew we had been forgotten about she never came back with an answer so with my patience wearing thin I asked a gentleman with a clip board who was directing people to tables . He said he would look into it and came over after about 5 mins to apologise it was their mistake and our order had been missed and offered us a free drink. My friend and I asked for a vodka and lemonade and another a Disarano and coke and a bottle of water which arrived within 6 minutes. Our vodka and lemonades had never seen vodka you couldn't taste it at all but my friend said he could taste his Disarano. We waited another 10 minutes and our mains arrived three of us had posh finger sandwiches and the other had a steak sandwich which she left as it was dripping in fat and the roll was barely baked. Our posh fish finger sandwiches were also dripping in fat with no taste we asked for extra tartar sauce to be told by a different waitress that its in the sandwich so in other words your not getting anymore. There was barely any in. We all ate them as we were hungry but they were poor. We asked for the bill and paid and went elsewhere for a cuppa. We know it was busy with being a pink concert on at the stadium of light I personally don't think there was enough staff on to cope with the volume of people so our first visit put us off from ever returning."

"I recently went to marcellos with my mother as a weekly treatment. from the 7 or 8 times in the last 2 months I was here I have never seen anything near what I would consider a bad meal or experience premise and atmosphere the interior of the restaurant is very spacious, which allows a simple movement around the space. the atmosphere is very cozy and no matter where I sit the place, is always clean. Moreover, there are Italian radio in the background played, which helps to soak in the atmosphere and sometimes it is nice to hear only music from another country. personal the personal is absolutely fantastic and I never had a bad experience with them and quite openly earn them all a massive pat on the back. they are always super friendly and both I and my mother love to talk to them when we visit. the personal is also very accommodating and will go out of the way to make sure that the experience is fantastic (what I appreciate massive) typically eat every week I will have a three cursor meal consisting of fresh parma ham and mozzarella, lasagne and either chocolate wing cake or tiramisu. eating is always fantastic and I am always able to completely delete any plate that is quite rare for me. In summary, I would warmly recommend this restaurant to my friends and extended family, as there is no better place in my mind to visit throughout the sunderland."
