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.

Daniel did a great job serving us. The restaurant was about half filled when we sat down. It was full before we left. Seating is pretty cozy so that's my only knock, but conversations were not strained or anything so we were easily able to converse. Started off with a carafe of the house white (pinot grigio) which was quite good. I ordered the special Sacchetti. It was AMAZING! It's like a puffy ravioli. It's got 2-3 times as much filling as your standard ravioli. This version had a mushroom filling, almost like a pate. It had a crunchy something sprinkled over the top. Forget what it was. :( My wife had their lasagna. Huge portion and oh so good! Easily twice as much food as the sacchetti dish, but the sacchetti was special. Finished with an eggnog creme brulee. A little heavier tasting than regular creme brulee but still very good.

Our server Steven was absolutely amazing, he went above and beyond for my husbands birthday and was very tentative and patient with our family and kids. The food was fast, hot and delicious. Thank you to the staff and Steven for making our even perfect along with adding and lighting the 48 candles on the cake!
