Marcello's Restaurant and Wine Bar [Metairie, New Orleans, LA]

First, the bread was outstanding. It was served with oil and balsamic vinegar which the waitress poured onto our dish as we were sitting there. We had the fried calamari for an appetizer. Very tasty with a crispy finish, I liked the tentacles best.

I had the Shrimp Prosecco which was Royal Red shrimp, roasted red peppers, Prosecco and Cognac cream sauce, and fettuccine. It was outstanding! I asked the waitress to bring me an Italian wine that was similar to cabernet sauvignon. She brought me something that was very similar, but just a little fruitier.

Rosendo had the Linguine Tritone which was crabmeat, lobster, shrimp, mushrooms, and spinach in a sherry cream sauce. He really liked it. Udaya had the Eggplant Parmigiana which was a breaded eggplant scaloppini, premesan, mozzerella, marinara fresca, and linguine. She ate the whole thing it was so good.

For dessert we had a dulce de leche with amaretto poured over it and whipped cream. Very nice.
