The chefs at Marzano's attain the freshest ingredients to prepare authentic Italian cuisine. Owner Elisa Marzano grew up in Vicenza, Italy, and consistently refers to these roots to design Marzano's unique yet classic menu. 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. Guests can enjoy complimentary bread and salad with every entree, so eating at Marzano's can ensure a satisfied appetite. Marzano's also aims to please those with various dietary needs, such as diners who desire gluten-free options.

As always, Marzano’s was outstanding! From their friendly, helpful and attentive staff, to the superb food with highest quality ingredients, it’s always a great evening when we come here! We have been coming to Marzano’s since the 1990’s, albeit not that often since we live in Gig Harbor, but it always impresses us when we do!

My husband and I enjoy all the McMenamins. However, we are older and it seems to be a little dark. It would be nice to have some light on each table so we could actually read the menus. We are also passport holders and have noticed it’s dark in most of the bars and restaurants.
