Casual, great vibe, excellent serviceThe sweetbread salad was lovely, the pizzas were solid, and the cider-glazed cod was delicious. The fresh pastas were decent. They were not executed very well, tasted rushed, but the flavors were there.Definitely not my favorite. My friends enjoyed the pasta, though. It is a good place to dine with friends but also, good for kids.

The atmosphere is great, youre not going to be disappointed there. Service was fantastic, they work together as a team to clear and get food out quickly. The calamari and rigatoni were enjoyable. Though the mushroom pasta did leave more to be desired, we look forward to dining in again.

Mediocre. Pasta was gummy and bland. Pizzas were poor. Caesar salad and tiramisu were excellent. There was a $30 error on our bill. Atmosphere is nice, but loud. I won't bother to go back.

Service is slow, this is something you need to know and make your peace with before arriving. Interior is bright & vibrant, great chandeliers. The Marina Spritz is delicious and goes down easy, you will want to drink multiple glasses & you should! Persimmon salad, bread and ricotta are fantastic ways to start your meal & share with friends. I ordered the Mushroom Linguine and was not disappointed. Healthy portions & fresh flavors. For the love of god you need to order the Blue Cheescake! It's savory, a little sweet and unforgettable.

Came by on a Wednesday night to try this place out and it felt like a Friday bc it was packed! I was still able to get seated pretty quickly in their patio section which is still nice and warm in the wintertime. Overall, the service was pretty good since the waiters were very friendly and brought out our food at a good pace. Between two people, we split the burrata and grilled octopus for appetizers and the butternut squash agnolotti and shrimp & calamari arrabiata for our main courses. Everything we ordered was so good and decently portioned we even had leftovers to take home. I really liked the agnolotti because of the subtle, tasty flavors of the dish. It is slightly sweet because of the butternut squash filling, so if you prefer more savory flavors this might not be for you. Both pastas were cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The appetizers tasted amazing too and were great for sharing. I was too full to try for myself, but I did see a lot of people ordering their desserts. I would love to come back again and try some of their other dishes along with their tiramisu!

Great food. Excellent selection of wine. Good friendly
We recently had dinner at Marina for the first time with friends. The food was excellent; 3 of us had Rigatoni allá Norma, it was delicious with lots of flavor. We also ordered a bottle of Ceraso, Italian red wine, which was very good. Service was excellent our waiter was attentive and serviced us very well. The place is very and cozy and small so the noise level gets a bit high during their dinner rush but it adds to the atmosphere. We will be going back!

Fantastic service, excellent food and aesthetically pleasing decors! We greatly appreciated Nick's attentiveness as well! As for the amazing food, we ordered the following: Fried calamari and artichoke: delish and the sauce was a good comboTuna carpaccio: one of my faves, that lemon yuzu sauce was delightful Scaloppine di Pollo: juicy chicken with lemon-white wine sauce, chef's kiss Carbonara: savory and rich Steak frites: perfectly cooked medium rare steak Mushroom linguini: rich and bold, so tasty I'd come back to try out the other dishes

I researched diligently for a nice restaurant to take my host daughters to for Christmas Eve dinner. After a long day of sightseeing and mass at a nearby church, we arrived at Marina so tired and hungry. I loved how warm the restaurant was and how friendly and kind the waitress and staff were. I wouldn't have been as gracious if I had to work on Christmas Eve so their presence was even more so appreciated. The pizza was probably one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten outside of Italy. Chewy, crispy crust, perfect amount of sauce, fresh basil and mozzarella. The girls had never had mussels before and loved them. The carbonara was hearty and delicious. There wasn't anything not to like so we'll be visiting again the next time we're in the area.

Food: - Bianca + truffle: 10/10, flavors are good - blasted bread: 10/10 with the dip was good - carbonara: 2/10, could be better if it wasn't just a glob - kiwi energy: 8/10, similar to whisky sour Service:- terrible terrible terrible service: our wait staff was never around, waters not refilled once- we waited 30 minutes to even place our order, after asking for waters, the wait staff never came back - waited 30 minutes for our pastas and the pastas came out cold, the sauce basically glued the pasta together - the fastest thing that came out was the check- it was my partner's birthday all other tables got a cake except for my party - another table that came in after us got all of their food before us Ambiance: - good indoor ambiance - notice that outside patio is just a strip next to the parking lot and the sidewalk - due to service will not return, the whole meal took 2 hours because of poor service

I recently dined at this restaurant, and it was a lovely experience. The ambience was fantastic, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. What made my visit truly special was the opportunity to make a two new friends, as the atmosphere encouraged connections. Highly recommend for a delightful dining experience!
Great place.
