I'm a pizza junkie and I love their homemade pizza. Fresh homemade dough. It's a great local spot. The Italian food is fresh and enjoyable. The rotolo is very good. Outdoor seating in the spring, summer and fall is nice.

No need to dress it up. Marinella's is a comfortable family-owned restaurant with consistently good food and service. Good wine selection. Our favorite is to dine in the outdoor patio area in the summer and fall months. In the Christmas season, the family creates a huge enclosed nativity scene in an enclosed area that can be viewed on the patio... More

This restaurant has been serving our family for thirtyfive years in Glen Ellyn. They have good prices, and good pasta as well as chicken and veal dishes. Want a simple dessert, ask for a tray of cookies or a serving of gelato, which are available, but not on the menu.

This is a family run Italian restaurant with great food and a very warm, friendly staff. You can always expect to see at least one family member working there -- and you are often greeted by "Mama" at the door. Well worth the stop. In the summer, they have a really nice al fresco dining area. Even though the train... More

The facade of the restaurant is a drastic understatement of the food and service. Everything was wonderful; comfortable atmosphere, efficient service and fantastic food. We were very impressed with the entire experience!

My wife and I enjoyed our dining experience at Marinella's. The outdoor patio was well decorated and coupled with the Italian music made for a relaxing evening. The wait staff was very attentive, made us feel at home and provided fine recommendations from the wine list. The clientele is generally couples - we didn't see any kids at other tables... More

We have been there a number of times including New Years Eve. The cuisine is delicious and every time we have dined there we were never disappointed. It has a nice family style atmosphere but not too fancy. So you can be casual yet many people will consider this a finer stye restaurant and may dress for it. It's not... More

The first time I went here was with a date in 1993 (very romantic place), and since getting married, I went again. The location is new, and the food is excellent. Not a full fledged menu, but what they serve is excellent! I have since brought my sister and brother-in-law and we had a great experience. I will definitely be... More
