OK Mack:

Ready to order dinner for tonight, send over the crab cakes, mussels marinara and the veal parm. Marsilios is one restaurant I never had the pleasure dining.

HI MAC...READING THAT MENU YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY IN ITALY THEY CLOSE EVERYTHING UP IN THE AFTERNOONS AND HAVE THEIR BIG MEAL THEN. ALL THE STORES REOPEN ABOUT 4 P.M. THAT,S THE WAY IT WAS WHEN I VISITED IN THE 80,S. THEY HAVE THE REST OF THE DAY TO DIGEST ALL THAT FOOD. MY MOTHER,S FAMILY MADE THEIR OWN PROCUSITTO AND YOU CAN SEE THEM HANGING IN THE CELLERS. IT REQUIRES A LOT OF TIME AND KNOW HOW TO DO THIS AND YOU UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY CHARGE SO MUCH FOR A LUNCH MEAT. THEIR BIG MEAL IS THE HIGH LIGHT OF THE DAY AND THEY REALLY ENJOY IT. REGARDS.

Hi JoeZ and Ralph:)

Italian cooking is just one of the wonders of the world. I could go for Veal Parm right now too:)

Marsillio's best kept secret was their take out staek sandwiches. Not thin slices. a real steak on about 6" of Italian Spoletta.

Growing up we often frequented Marsilios...food was excellent...the whole family ordered the same thing every time we went....Grilled Lamb chops with fresh lemon....Great memories....
Gino and Frances were the owners...nice people.
