Very attentive service, beautiful restaurant with views of the water. But the food was just good for its exorbitant price. My risotto was fine, but nothing to write home about. If you do get one of the risotto, you can certainly share the rather large serving. I was nonplussed with $25 service charge, and then having my waiter make sure... More

I went to this restaurant with my family from France this week. We were really glad of the choice ; a high quality food which tasted so good. The dishes are very big so you have to share them with almost another person. We tried a chicken with a parmesan sauce and spinatch : delicious!!! I highly recommand this place... More

My husband and I made lunch reservations there based on the great reviews. They gave us a great table overlooking the water and the waiter found a supervisor who spoke English which was nice! He advised us on how to order so we could share and we appreciated that! The appetizers were delicious. When the main course arrived, pasta with... More

Marcelo won't disappoint. A beautiful open space with white table cloths and professional service, this place is a joy in Puerto Madero. Come hungry. Warm bread - pizza style - shares the table center to start. Delicioso! Next to arrive tonite were Olives del Calabrese were not so spicy black olives bathed in nicely spiced olive oil. Mmm.

It used to be our family's go-to restaurant. Not anymore... The last few times we went to Marcelo we left feeling very dissapointed. Service was terrible, the staff was so unprofessional, food was just bland... All I can say is that me and my family, we will never go back there!!! We are from Argentina, and I can assure you,...

The concierge recommended Marcello when we asked for a good restaurant in Puerto Madera. We arrived early 830 and we amongst the first. We were seated at a great table by the canal. Traditional Italian feel, white tablecloths, mature male waiters, pizza oven, nice glassware. The menu is very comprehensive with them stating their specialities are pasta and risotto. The... More

We were two persons visting together and our friendly and welcoming waiter informed us that their speciality was Risotto and pasta dishes and that the portions were rich so he suggested one main dish would be enough to share. He was right! Se shared a veal carpaccio for a starter and shared a spaghetti with lingoustine and frutti di mare.... More

The owner, Marcelo Piegari, is on top of his game! A comprehensive menu, experienced wait staff, attentive service, plates brought out sizzling, and warm yet modern atmosphere. Delicioso!

We have the pleasure to experince the ravioli of spinach with white and red sauce. It was splendid. I would go there at least once a week if possible to taste that pasta. Very good and everyone should try it. Besides that, it is located on Puerto Madero which is a good place to walk around.
