Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Alameda

Marzano's is a trusted family restaurant where you can enjoy good food and conversation. We love being welcomed by Mana, the friendly restaurant owner, and staff, every time we visit. We feel like family!

The staff was very accommodating and kind. I was there with a friend, celebrating her birthday, in a torrential downpour which caused her to be quite late for our reservation due to traffic. They assured us that it was no problem. We enjoyed the Kumamoto oysters, which were very fresh and expertly prepared. We had the zucchini sticks, which were nice and crispy, and came with a bright and delicious dipping sauce. We also ordered the cheesy plate, and were pleasantly surprised by a lovely sweet French toast-like slice of bread along with the lovely selection of cheeses and honeycomb and marmalade. For our mains, we both chose the filet, and we were not disappointed. Very flavorful, and the mushroom risotto they came with was excellent. We will definitely be coming back soon.

I would like to thank Sergio for his assistance, which made our experience very enjoyable.

Love this location. Right across from the lake, so maybe a long walk before or after, right? Great lunch. The Brussels sprouts are delicious!

Second time to come here and it was excellent experience as the first time here. Service was excellent and so was the food. Definitely will be on our list of places to go.
