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.

    This first visit was a treat from start to finish. Warm ambiance, welcomed by name at the door, birthday card on the table, every taste delicious. Highly recommend the Fett ‘Unta appetizer and Swedish Cream for dessert. Hard to save room, however!

    After going there for nearly 25+ years I have never had a bad meal or poor service. I always get one of the daily specials but the printed menu selections are also great. Well worth a visit for a quite meal.

    The food was awesome! Unfortunately, we were seated at the worst little round table in the place and then a "lively" group of six came in and sat at the large tab;le next to us. I will ask to be moved to a different table next time. Very cramped. ;o(

    The food was amazing and the ambiance was great. The servers were well informed of the food and specials. My only complaint is we had to wait 25 minutes even with a confirmed reservation.
