Welcome to Marcello's Restaurant and Wine Bar in Covington where we specialize in true Italian cooking. Our restaurant is an authentic representation of Sicilian comfort food. Our wine concept is giving guests the choice to browse our racks and make their selection from our value priced wines. Our wine pricing is slightly above wine boutique prices, but far below traditional restaurant wine list mark-ups.

COMING HOME…
Executive Chef/Owner Blakley Kymen grew up in Mandeville, Louisiana and is thrilled to have been able to bring the Marcello brand to the Northshore. Blakley gained a passion for cooking from her paternal grandfather. They cooked together from the age of 5 and after finishing culinary school from Chef Parola's Culinary Institute in Baton Rouge, she was certified as a Chef de Cuisine. Later, she went on to finish college at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in Hospitality Management and had the opportunity to work as the Executive Chef for Marcello's in Lafayette, New Orleans and Metairie. With the pressures of Covid, Blakley decided to close the New Orleans restaurant and come back home to the Northshore…
Eat, Love, Drink and Cheers is her motto!

Buon Appetito!!!
