    Another successful dining experience at the Italiano. We opted for the Festival of the Fishes which was a special 5 course meal. Loaded with seafood, and other dishes..the only dish you pick is the entree. I ordered the Swordfish even to the server said it wasn’t her favorite, but out of the other 3 choices it sounded good. The description didn’t match what I received tho.. It looked like 3 rolled up breadsticks. The actual swordfish was very thin and wrapped around some ground Saleme…it didn’t look appealing at all. Would not suggest or tbe menu needs to be more clear. Everything else was very good, except the weird sticky cookie type crackers they served with the Rainbow cake for dessert.

    First time eating at Marinos and we’ll definitely be back. Everything we ordered was delicious and portions were generous. Our group shared two salads the Cesar and wedge. The entrées were chicken Alfredo, vodka chicken Parmesan, short ribs served on polenta (which were outstanding), and meat pizza. The crust was more like a hand tossed. The place has a cool vibe and great outdoor eating area. The bar is cool.
