Marinella offers delicious homemade baked clams as well as other authentic Italian cuisine. The owner ensures every dish is executed to his high standards and he will stop by every table to ensure every patron is happy with their meal. Always a wonderful experience!

Worse experience we have ever had. Our server Joanna took our drink order for a bottle of wine to never be seen again. We had to literally get up from the table to find someone so we could order food. The bruschetta was excellent, the calamari was rubbery. We were acknowledged more by the bus person and other waitstaff than the server Joanna who started with us and never heard where our food was after half hour. Her attitude and condescending tone which shocked the other customers as she was loud and rude. We asked to see the manager, she said I will do one better and get the owner. The owner was not much better than Joanna which shows why the waitstaff is as rude. We will never step foot in here again. We went to another restaurant in Carol Stream to eat a lovely dinner that we never received at Marinella’s after waiting over 40 minutes. Joanna told us she was busy with other tables that were more important. The owner sarcastically said he would charge us only for the wine, we insisted on paying for our appetizers and what we ate but the bill did not reflect that and I have to say we were not impressed with him doing it because it was not sincere. Lesson learned just because a restaurant has 4.5 stars doesn’t mean it’s true.

I took my folks here for dinner last night for an early Father’s Day celebration since this is our favorite Italian restaurant. We have been loyal Marinella’s fans for at least 30 years now and have followed them through 3 locations, and stuck with them since their change in ownership. Last night was just wonderful! They have a great patio area with ivy and fairy lights- and of course Italian themed music (Sinatra, Dean Martin, some Pavarotti). The baked clams are a MUST, I’ve had these many places but these are the best! The tortellini soup was also very good! I had the Pollo Picante which was excellent and came with a small side of pasta with red sauce! My folks both had pasta, Mom had calamari, Dad had shrimp. The food is excellent, flavorful, and the portions are large enough that I will have another full meal from the left overs. We split 2 pieces of tiramisu which was, naturally, delicious. Service was good, and the owner checked on us several times. If you live in the area you really should give this place a try for some amazing homemade Italian food!

Marinella’s is a wonderful and authentic family-owned and operated Italian restaurant. Fabulous food, stellar drinks and wine, easy parking, one of Glen Ellyn’s best places to eat. We love this place, the food, and the people. Highly recommend! The very best fair weather patio in the western suburbs.

Absolutely worth it! I’ve been here a few times now… The food is fresh and delicious, and the staff is so friendly. I also enjoy their house wine, so it’s a win all around. Save room for dessert, too! This summer my family got to enjoy their cute, little patio.
