About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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.

    We go here to celebrate a night out once or twice a year and we are never disappointed. Love the atmosphere and menus. We try something new each time - had two of the specials last night; a Brie appetizer w balsamic glazed grapes on a toasted baguette and the venison ragu Gnocci and shared a steak salad. Everything was delicious!!

    Marzanos is our absolute favorite date night restaurant. The ambiance, food and service is top notch. Definitely try the calamari appetizer. It's unlike any other calamari and bursting with robust flavor.
