Our experience was fabulous. From the greeting by the hostesses to the comfortable seating, outstanding service, and DELICIOUS food. I cannot think of a single thing I would have wanted to be different. Parking is plentiful and the view is awesome. Our server was great - attentive, but not hovering. My steak was probably the best I’ve ever had - cooked perfectly.

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 really enjoyed the unique dinning experience. The food choices were endless and delightfully delicious. The restaurant staff was attentive and friendly. We will definitely return for a special occasion.

Food was all good and service attentive. Only note is the filet was a baseball cut and not listed as such. Therefore my usual specification of medium rare resulted in red cool center. I either avoid baseball cuts or up my order to medium.
