Marcello”™s Grill & Deli, a longtime staple of Fairfield”™s dining scene, has closed.
The family owned business began in 1985 and moved to its 1485 Black Rock Turnpike location following the closing of Gyro Grill in 2013. Marcello”™s gained a local reputation for its generously proportioned specialty sandwiches that carried distinctive names including the Bronx Bomber, the Vesuvio and the Prima Donna.
Marcello”™s operated until June 26, when it posted a final list of daily specials. The interior of the store has been dismantled and a giant dumpster now dominates its parking lot. The restaurant”™s telephone number is not in service and attempts to reach the owners through the eatery’s Facebook page were unsuccessful.
