One of our fave Italian restaurants, especially since we have moved to the Olive Garden food deserts that is Woodbridge. Today was my mom’s 88th birthday. Thank you, Osteria Marzano’s staff for making her veal Al limone. The most memorable dish for her, was the Sicilian sorbetto al limone. Grazie a tutti!

My server was pretty nervous, I think he was new. The bar was painfully slow getting drinks out to our table. Otherwise, the food was excellent, as always, and the price affordable. A nice restaurant.

The wait staff was amazing. Our server was attentive and very accommodating. The restaurant was wonderfully decorated in colonial decor and was clean and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious but the portion sizes were a bit small for the price. Overall we were very pleased with our dining experience.
