Just like the small family-owned trattorias of Italy, Marzano is simple, rustic, and generous in spirit. Executive Chef, Robert Holt, draws his inspiration from Southern-Italy, with an emphasis on wood-fired Neapolitan pizza.

The setting was beautiful! The server’s wine recommendation was excellent. However, over things were lacking. Halibut was under-seasoned leaving the corn to dominate the dish. The pizza was poorly constructed, lofting large chunks of meat across slices and making it difficult to share. The birthday dessert came with no candle. There was a dog acting out at an adjacent table. The owner of the dog had taken the animal out of the stroller and was feeding it from the table. GROSS! The dog starting barking and snarling when it wasn’t being fed quickly enough. I am accustomed to paying premium prices for dinner. I am also accustomed to receiving a good value. This was not a good value.

Marzano is a treat to anyone looking for a nice spot to take your date. It's romantic, beautiful, delicious foods and fantastic drinks. It's also not overly expensive for what you are getting in consumables and ambience. The staff is sharp and very welcoming. Great vibe to enjoy good food with Sade playing in the background.

We order the steak medium rare and it came well done.I sent it back and received the next plate rare. I didn’t send it back. I barely ate it. My father ordered the fish (sbass) it was ridiculously dry. My father sent it back and did not order any more food. The cook staff must have changed because this time was absolutely horrible.

This is our new go-to. Marzano is consistent to a fault, and one of the few dependable spots that actually changes their menu from time to time so you don’t get bored. All of the staff are friendly and attentive. Love the rigatoni and the pizzas are superb, thanks to their great dough.

Four of us ate at Marzano. It was a very good experience. As I’m still getting used to inflation, I must admit that the prices are in line with other similar restaurants. The drinks and food were tasty and well described on the menus. The service was well done and the timing was excellent. I will definitely return. About $240 total, drinks appetizers, and means, for four.

I have eaten here many times and loved it. This time the salad was brown. The flatbread stale and dry and the wood fired rigatoni which I have loved was soupy and no sign of being wood fired. I won’t return. It’s sad.

We had a delicious dinner out at Marzano on a rainy Friday in April. The kale salad was a very tasty appetizer. We loved the sea bass, which was presented in a light broth with spinach, white beans and bits if Castelnovo olives. Yum. One of our group had the small pizza, which he liked a lot. Our red wine, a Montepulciano, was outstanding. Cheerful service too. The only downside was the street parking. After a few turns around the side streets, we finally found a spot a couple of blocks away on park Blvd. Next time we’ll consider Lyft.

We have a lovely time. The wine we selected was the Barbaresco. We started with the burrata which was tasty but the prosciutto was sparse for the entry price. The malfadine and cannelloni were delicious and perfectly sauced. They paired well with the chopped salad. The service was fantastic as was the wine.

Outstanding staff, noisy and too crowded inside with tables almost touching so you are part of neighbor’s conversation. Outdoors a little cold with overhead heaters not working. Pizza lacking cheese but good with extra serving. Overpriced. Beautiful bar no longer an option.

Really enjoyed the wood fired pizza, brussel sprouts, and chopped salad. The rigatoni was tasty but just a bit overdone, likely because the cast iron skillet retained the heat from the oven for so long. Also, the chicken was tender and spicy as promised, just a bit too high on the sauce to chicken ratio. Service was excellent, staff were friendly and informative. Food was delivered in a timely manner. The restaurant is clean and well maintained, with low lighting and a cozy atmosphere.
