Marcello’s Market & Deli

Good news! It’s taken over new ownership and it’s amazing now! They have power bowls, delicious sandwich bar, hot fresh buffet and more! This one might even be better than the one in 5^th ave place ! Come here and test out the new and improved Marcello’s, I promise you’ll be so happy you did

I used to frequent Olly Fresco’s in Bow Valley every day. So when I took a job that was no where close to that, I had to find a new place for lunch. I was excited when I discovered Marcello’s. However, my excitement didn’t last for long.
They have a good coffee selection but was disappointed to know they really don’t give a discount if you bring in your own to go cup. That’s crap.
I have sampled their soup and found some to be good, others not so good. The chicken gumbo was so fucking hot my lips burned for an hour after eating it. Yeah I threw that shit in the garbage. The beef barely was ok but nothing spectacular. The cream of mushroom was very good but I’m sure it wasn’t low fat. What totally brings down the soup here is that they have the same 5 kinds every single day. They never change the variety. WTF? Do they think we don’t want something different? I don’t understand that and decided this place only gets 2 stars mainly for this.
Their hot buffet also doesn’t seem to have much variety. They have the same thing week after week. A lot of the food in the buffet looks unappetizing and like it’s been sitting under the heat lamps for days. It also isn’t that tasty. I’ve certainly had much better. Again, only worthy of a couple of stars.
There is a salad bar with a half decent variety but I couldn’t seem to find any dressings other than some little plastic containers already measured out.
The shrimp salad roll I had the other day was ok. The shrimp in it seemed like they were cut in half so I felt cheated. But the sauce wasn’t like a peanut sauce and that was disappointing. Would not recommend them.
Try Marcello’s at your own risk.

This is the second Marcelos to open up in the downtown core. It is located in Canterra Tower on the second floor.
You can get pre-​made and made to order sandwiches, salads, mini pizzas (yum!), war won ton soup (yum!), many varieties of soup daily and a variety of hot dish items like chinese foods all the way down to homemade stuffed mushrooms!
One of the chef’s is allergic to wheat and dairy so she writes on the glass above each item if it has wheat or dairy in it! Super helpful because I am also allergic to the same things!
You can get coffee, tea, juice, pop, milk as well. Kristy (the owner) also makes these yummy cute mini pitas stuffed with chicken and tuna all in a little container with a piece of cheese and veggies with dip!
They have awsome won ton soup! yum!
If you want to try one of their mini pizzas you just have to pick a crust and then pick how many toppings you want and in a mere few minutes *shazam!* you have a yumm-​i-​lisous pizza!
Kristy (the owner) has the same name as me and because of that I’ve gotten to know her more, she’s really nice and down to earth. She take her buisness VERY seriously… so if you have a concern or a request she will always be there to hear you out.
Yes some of the prices are a little up there like the buffet style items that are weighed at the register, but its nice to try something new from their menu :)
