The chefs at Marzano's attain the freshest ingredients to prepare authentic Italian cuisine.

Once a quaint two-bedroom home, the restaurant was transformed but still keeps the rustic, home-like feel for an inviting, welcoming atmosphere. The pleasing combination of intimate lighting and natural window light make it the ideal spot for either lunch or dinner. A top menu choice is the boscaiola, which features a creamy tomato and Bolognese sauce over rigatoni pasta, topped with various spices and forest mushrooms.

    What a fun night out!! I’m still smiling. Loved the flamenco guitarist, Sebastian, as well as the flamenco dancers. Food was yummy, service was great in spite of the packed house. I can’t wait to return for the next show!

    We made dinner reservations for 5:45 on a Saturday night. We got a fantastic table that’s for 2, by a window, in a little “alcove” by the kitchen. Best table in the house because we were off by ourselves. Our server was Daniel. He was wonderful. Didn’t hover, but was always there when we needed him (refill on beverages). Now for the food - YUM!!!! Started off with the calamari. NOT deep-fried but cooked in this most glorious tomato-based sauce. Very flavorful. Daniel brought us bread so that the sauce didn’t go to waste. I had the lasagne; hubby had the spaghetti bolognese with meatballs. The lasagne was deep in rich flavor. My words won’t do it justice. The spaghetti bolognese was the same, very rich flavors. The meatballs were delicious, just made the spaghetti even better. Ended it with desserts to take home, which were the perfect ending: tiramisu and the white chocolate berry cake. Marsano’s menu is more the thinking man’s Italian menu, not so mainstream. But one can still find basics. We’ll definitely be heading here again. Reservations recommended because the place fills up fast. As busy as it was, we felt by ourselves in that table by the kitchen. Service was beyond excellent, as was the food!

    We were a party of 9. Hostess placed us in a back room that we had all to ourselves. Our waitress was very attentive and explained how things work in this unique way of dining. Food choice is excellent, and sauces are very good.

    The waitress was nice, but slow. Overall food was okay, but not great. Brisket sandwich was lacking and fries were dry and hard.
