Marsilio'a was the favorite "Burg" place for Janet Evanovich, she wrote about it in her books and went there when in the area.. it's a shame they closed it down but for the catering... a small place with a big heart....

I remember going to "Marsilio's Kitchen" with my parents while I was very young. Each table had a wine vinegar decanter containing the "mother of vinegar." I thought the vinegar to be faulty becuase it had something in it that didn't belong.

We began Every meal with a huge Antipasto and I had no room left for the main course.

Even way back then, it was a friendly room.

Marsilio's was originaly located on Butler and Whittaker Aves., the Nonna used to make homemade Gnocchi's ...I know I ate there as a young child and lived on Butler St above Tammaro's warehouse, it was closer to Chestnut Ave.
