We Preserve the 90-Year-Old Recipe of "Lale Mahu"

We Preserve the 90-Year-Old Recipe of "Lale Mahu"

In Krusevo, you can hike, ride horses, enjoy the ski slopes, fly with a paraglider, and after all that, you can visit the Marcello restaurant, which is now part of our "Gastronomy" base.

The hosts of the restaurant say that this authentic establishment was opened in 2013 by the new generation of the Kostoski family. The business itself has been passed down from generation to generation, preserving house specialties such as the Krusevo sausage, corn, and kebabs.

The business started in 1938 when this place was known as the kebab shop "Krusevo," and in 1998, it was renamed to Marcello.

The owners of Marcello say that the story began in 1936 when "Lale Mahu" (or Uncle Marko in Macedonian) started serving kebabs to the people of Krusevo using his unique recipe and preparation method. Later, his sons and grandsons learned the craft, and today it represents a beautiful family business.

The first and most significant specialty is the famous traditional kebabs, whose recipe is over 90 years old. The "La Mahu" sausage and corn are part of the traditional menu at Marcello restaurant. However, you can also find other specialties from the international menu, such as melted cheese, delicious pizza, and specially prepared liver.

Restaurant Marcello is located in the heart of Krusevo, between the city square and the stairs on Todor Proeski Street (right next to the monument - the harp, dedicated to Tose Proeski).
