Serving up classic dishes in generous portions has always been the philosophy of Marinelli's Restaurants.Marinelli's has been a family affair since it's inception 25 years ago and that's the way they want their guests to feel â?? like family. In 1977, founder Vince opened Marinelli's Town Pump in Romeo, serving up pizza and ribs. Vince was following in the footsteps of his father, Louis, who founded Lombardi's, a family restaurant in Detroit.In 1980, the family roots began to spread as Vince, his wife Susan, and her brother John Stepp opened Marinelli's in Troy, Michigan â?? the Flagship restaurant. Seven years later, John & Susan's brother Jimmy graduated from the Culinary Institute of American in Hyde Park, N.Y. and became a part of the team.In 1991, Vince, Susan, John, Jimmy and the youngest Stepp brother, David, opened a second restaurant in Fraser, Michigan. Four years later came Marinelli's in Madison Heights, Michigan.Tragically, in June of '95, we lost our founder, Vince, to a heart attack. But his legacy of excellence lives on. In 2000, Vince & Susan's son, Peter, graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, becoming the 3rd generation to forge a career in the food service industry.Today the family continues to stay true to their philosophies and focus their energies on the flagship restaurant in Troy and the newest restaurant in Madison Heights. We are grateful to all our customers for their friendship and patronage.
