    Hello I went to this restaurant with my boyfriend and I made reservations on March 28th at 5:00 p.m. . As I went in the host was on the phone so me and my boyfriend waited until he got off the phone I didn't see any other people in the front just him at that time which will probably been helpful because if someone is answering phones I think that they should have some assistance especially around certain times of the day. When he got off the phone I had told him that I had a reservation and my reservation specifically I had that I have a nut allergy and I think that was it. I asked the host could me and my boyfriend sit in a booth and he said how about a private room and I said okay. As I ended up private room there was no booth's they were just chairs and tables. He didn't communicate that they didn't have booth's this was me and my boyfriend's first time there I was a bit confused but I just sat down and the waiter came and we ordered what we ordered and so I had to tell the waiter that I have a Treenut allergy when that was on the reservation there's a caption where I can put that I have a Treenut allergy. Honestly everybody I only recommend going there maybe to go to the bar but sitting down it wasn't the best and it's very small I did like that they had free parking. I would say the food was really good so I wouldn't sit there again I will probably get some food to go if I was ever to go back there.

    This was my first time eating at the restaurant and it did not disappoint! My main purpose in going was to order the cheese wheel and would do it again with wheat pasta. The only downside was they up-charged me $2 to have the shrimp blackened on top of the $12 I paid for the shrimp! Very unnecessary, in my opinion, but overall a nice experience.

    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.
