An Italian restaurant that's found success in a former cabaret space downtown now has a second location on a much different stage. The new Marcello's Restaurant & Wine Bar opened in Metairie today (Jan. 18). The address was previously a location of the Mexican restaurant Coyote Blues.
The design, which once made it look like a cantina done in prime colors, has been toned down to resemble an Italian villa, albeit one perched on Metairie's busy commercial strip. The new restaurant serves the same menu of Sicilian dishes found at the downtown location.
