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.

    Obviously a very popular restaurant as we were only able to secure a 4:30pm reservation. Expectations were high assuming my entrée would be fresh. Good appetizer and salad, but my Cacio e Pepe was sadly not up to my expectations. My friend was equally disappointed with her lack luster ravioli. I shared my husband’s Carbonara which was up to par. Our desserts were good despite being out of one that was ordered. Something that could have been noted immediately rather than later. The service was excellent. Sylvia, our server, was attentive and present. Ambiance was cozy and warm. Food left us with mixed emotions.
