Restaurants near Americas Best Value Inn Lakewood South Tacoma

I am a root beer guy. The homebrew is some of the best root beer I have ever had. Absolutely wonderful. the food including dessert was wonderful as well. To be fair I would return again even if the food was sub par just for the root beer!

We made dinner reservations for 5:45 on a Saturday night. We got a fantastic table that’s for 2, by a window, in a little “alcove” by the kitchen. Best table in the house because we were off by ourselves. Our server was Daniel. He was wonderful. Didn’t hover, but was always there when we needed him (refill on beverages). Now for the food - YUM!!!! Started off with the calamari. NOT deep-fried but cooked in this most glorious tomato-based sauce. Very flavorful. Daniel brought us bread so that the sauce didn’t go to waste. I had the lasagne; hubby had the spaghetti bolognese with meatballs. The lasagne was deep in rich flavor. My words won’t do it justice. The spaghetti bolognese was the same, very rich flavors. The meatballs were delicious, just made the spaghetti even better. Ended it with desserts to take home, which were the perfect ending: tiramisu and the white chocolate berry cake. Marsano’s menu is more the thinking man’s Italian menu, not so mainstream. But one can still find basics. We’ll definitely be heading here again. Reservations recommended because the place fills up fast. As busy as it was, we felt by ourselves in that table by the kitchen. Service was beyond excellent, as was the food!

We really enjoyed the unique dinning experience. The food choices were endless and delightfully delicious. The restaurant staff was attentive and friendly. We will definitely return for a special occasion.

Our waitress was amazing, but they were horribly short staffed so the wait time was very long. The food was worth the wait, though. The flavors blended so well and were so fresh and delicous. Loved the music and the atmosphere and again the waitress was amazing despite being short staffed she was moving as quick as she could. The young woman was the waitress, bartender for both the front of the house and bar area by herself it seemed. I didn't see any other staff helping the tables. I only gave 4 stars because I felt like the young waitress deserved more help. It's definitely my new favorite restaurant.

The food was excellent and staff was very friendly and helpful!
