Marcellino Ristorante moves to Scottsdale
One of the Valley’s premier Italian restaurants, Marcellino Ristorante, opens the doors to its new Scottsdale home on Friday, April 30.
After six years in north central Phoenix, it’s changing neighborhoods, moving into the SouthBridge space that has already seen two Italian restaurants – Digestif and Tutto — come and go in about two years.
If anyone can break the spell of misfortune, it’s chef Marcellino Verzino, who’ll be working with pretty much the same menu that made his reputation. But expect him to take full advantage of a new piece of equipment, a wood-burning oven. (One of its uses: lunchtime pizzas.)
Among the menu favorites are antipasti like caprese salad ($14.95), mussels in white wine ($13.95) and polenta with mushrooms ($14.95). Main dishes range through veal scaloppine with Gorgonzola ($28.95), cognac-flamed lamb with grapes ($25.95), Italian seafood stew ($31.95) and chicken breast layered with prosciutto and Fontina cheese ($23.95).
But homemade pasta is what really sets Marcellino apart. Recent daily specials have included pappardelle with lamb ragu, saffron linguini in tomato sauce and fettuccine blackened with cuttlefish ink tossed with lobster, clams, mussels and shrimp.
For the first few weeks, Marcellino Ristorante will be dinner-only. Look for lunch sometime later in May.
Details: Marcellino Ristorante, 7114 E. Stetson Drive, Scottsdale, 602-216-0004. Hours: 5 to 9:30 p.m., Sunday through Thursday; 5 to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday. fivestaritalian.com
