    My first visit to Osteria Marzano based on its very strong reviews. Sadly, my favorite Italian restaurant will soon be closing and I need to find a new ”go to” Italian. I think I found it. Our waiter, Carlos, was excellent. My friend and I each ordered one of his suggestions and were very pleased with the results. I think mine might have been called Pappardelle (or something close to that). Carlos said it was a boar ragu. Yummy! My buddy also liked his pork chop. We also had Barolo wine, which was outstanding. I will definitely be back once my buddy's restaurant closes. It was a bit louder than I wanted. I will ask for a quieter table next time.

    Overall very good experience. Highlight was the food. Surprisingly large portions and quite tasty. The Caprese Salad, Meatballs, Risotto, Lobster Ravioli, and Veal Parmesan were all very good.

    Great overall experience. The worst part was having to drive down from Silver Spring, but completely worth it once we got there. Unlike most places, there was a ton of parking since it’s in an office building and it was Saturday. Beyond that, the food and service were excellent. The calamari was cooked/breaded perfectly…not overcooked where it was chewy and not overbreaded like most places. Drinks were great and the cheese wheel pasta was a fun, delicious experience. Definitely worth the drive!

    Chairs and tables need replacing. Floor in the ladies room was sticky. Olive oil served in cracked dish and had a bitter taste and our bill was deliver with a big oil smudge. Our dinner came out after one hour and lukewarm warm with the exception of the big wheel cheese pasta which cracker peeper was added without asking the customer if they want pepper. Food was ok but not great for the price comparing to similar restaurants. The small detail does matter and demonstrates if the restaurant care about it’s and their customer.

    The waiter was new and probably was the best waiter ever, came around enough if we needed anything! Explained everything. The food was Amazing! and appreciate that they actually gave you good food quantity. Sat at bar area table to dine when I made reservations—- that was a bit awkward being so close to bar. It’s a great restaurant overall !

    This is a neighborhood favorite so we have been there many times, unfortunately this past visit was a miss. My friend ordered the agnolotti special with seafood and the sauce looked and tasted like it was just chicken broth. Very soupy and did not have any complexities. My dish was the spaghetti with squid ink. It appeared as it had been plated for a while and the pasta was sort of caked in position. The lobster in it was good and plentiful so I was happy about that. Another thing was the bread that was complimentary for the table was freezing cold.
