Marcello’s Wine Bar Cafe sells, closes for renovations

Enoteca Marcello’s Wine Bar & Café at 4205 Perkins Road has been sold to the owners of Lafayette eatery Romacelli and is being closed immediately for renovations, owner Gene Todaro says. “Romacelli will come in and make some changes and will be open by the end of July,” Todaro says. The nearby Marcello’s Wine Market at 4201 Perkins Road is not included in the sale, Todaro says, nor is the Marcello’s Wine Market Café in Lafayette. Todaro says the sale “was just a good opportunity for both of us. They were looking to expand into the market.” The sale closed Tuesday, Todaro says, and the price was not disclosed.
