    Happily, we were seated in the back dining room which is wonderfully calm and quiet. Every dish tasted delicious and was artfully presented. We had fried calamari, the beet salad, branzino, and the night's special, haddock. Portions are generous. Our waiter served attentively and thoughtfully. A lovely evening with Osteria Marzano!

    We came to celebrate our anniversary! OM staff greeted us and confirmed our dietary restrictions before we ordered anything. They provided good recommendations that suited our needs, and even helped us when we mistakenly ordered the wrong topping on our entree. Very thankful to our waiter, Chico, and his excellent service. A great night, made fantastic with his help. We will be coming back again!!

    I say this every time but what else can I say. Another amazing meal. As always the food was top notch and all the staff was incredible, but a big shout out to Mack behind the bar for his spur of the moment creativity!!! Also a special thank you to Elena for the extra effort she made for this particular special occasion!!

    They should improve their osobuco recipe. The photo on their website looks more like how good osobuco should be presented than the way they actually serve it.

    My wife and I love Osteria Marzano. We go every few months because we enjoy how authentic all of the food is, how well the staff treats diners, and also, how the chef hears and incorporates feedback too. Having lived in Europe for an extended time, we have looked everywhere for something authentic. Luckily, OM being close by, we are able to get that whenever we want. I recommend the pizza 100 percent. Fresh and beautiful ingredients cooked to perfection. And any of the main entrees are absolutely delicious. The bolognese, amazing, and my wife loves the linguine alla vongo. Lastly, I really like how there are new specials every so often. The team does a great job adding new things to the menu quite frequently.

    This is the fourth time we've been in this resto and generally, it's been good! The Ribeye steak I ordered was glorious - tender and flavorful, plus the risotto bed that came with it was creamy and soft. The Sicillian Salad was too tangy; it bites my toungue. The walnut and apple wasn't enough to balance the flavor. My wife ordered the Linquine Pescatore and it did not disappoint! The dessert was not the best - the cheesecake was presented frozen and bland.
