A $600,250 Farewell to Marcello’s Steakhouse

Gone but not forgotten, Marcello's Steakhouse.It’s with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to a prolific donor in Albuquerque. During the time that Marcello’s Steakhouse distributed their gift certificates with Albuquerque Donations, they donated a total value of $600,250 to area fundraising events, both large and small.

They were generous and community-minded, and we shall surely miss them. It’s our hope that they will find a new location and start again. Let’s keep our fingers crossed, we loved their food, their hospitality and their commitment to making ABQ a better place for all.

Thank you Marcello’s staff, management, and owners.
