                  One our of favorite places to eat, we again were not disappointed. We all ordered off the special menu tonight, and we all loved our dishes. Our server was super attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is nice for a night out with just your significant other, a group of friends, or even kids (we brought our 15 and 8 year olds). We have never had a disappointing experience here and will be back.

                  Macello had a great overall vibe with good cocktails, yummy pizza and good cannolis! The salad we ordered was extremely lackluster unfortunately, so I would not recommend getting the spinach salad but the ingredients in everything seemed to be extremely fresh.

                  The food lacked flavor, and the pizza was disappointing! They serve the pizzas on large white plates, which makes them hot and soggy, resulting in more of a soup than a pizza experience. Additionally, the pasta was costly and tasteless. I won't be coming back.
