About the restaurant

Small and romantic we specialize in celebrations with family and friends, or just a quiet dinner with good conversation. We are family owned and operated and have been serving our community since 2001.

Drive in to Opera Alley and be transported. We strive to bring approachable food and beverage, a sense of comfort and community, as well as a unique and quality dining experience. We call ourselves a "cafe" in the sense that we are not pretentious and offer a fine dining experience in an atmosphere of comfort and respite.

Parking in Opera Alley, and downtown, can be a bit of a challenge, especially on the weekends, so please be sure to give yourself plenty of time when making reservations to find a parking space, or consider a night off from driving and get an Uber or Lift!! Eat good food often, break bread with friends and family, spend time with those you love, and we will see you soon.

If you are looking for a cozy atmosphere, great food and excellent service, then look no further. We have been coming to OTMC for a decade and have never been disappointed. I am usually a steak guy, but tried the scallop/risotto dinner and it was fantastic. Looking forward to our next visit.

About the restaurant

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.

GreenHouse provided a great experience for our pre holiday dinner with friends. The restaurant was appropriately decorated and festive. Our waiter, Benjamin, expertly guided our menu choices and was very attentive. Our friends decided on the Chateaubriand for two which they thoroughly enjoyed. It was carved table side by one of the chefs from the kitchen. It was cooked perfectly to medium rare. Kudos to all.

You can always count on excellent food with Chef Blanca. We had the scallops, lamb and prawns and tried every dessert. Each one was a masterpiece. Her cocktails alone are worth the trip. This time we really enjoyed the music as well. This is an intimate place run by wonderful people. Our server was fantastic, personable, knowledgeable and observant. She was on top of every detail.

An excellent dinner on 12/15/2024! It started with a unique Winter Negroni that was delightful, Christmas in a glass. Great wine list. We shared the Thai Larb Lettuce Cups (had those here before) that were tasty and a large portion. We both got the special that was beef short ribs over gnocchi in a pomodoro sauce. It was exceptional! Our dinner concluded with the double dark chocolate brownie, which was wonderful! Service was similarly great!

Great interior feel, well decorated, and an excellent spot for a date. Music was upbeat, staff attentive and friendly. Menu was robust, great price ranges for food and wine both. The “owners wine flight” was fantastic, highly recommend.

Filet mignon was fabulous! Tomahawk was a showstopper, and good. Beet salad was more greens than beets. Smashed (mashed) potatoes were yummy. Server was attentive and respectful. Ambience leaves much to be desired. Too bright lighting. Not an intimate atmosphere.
