This is one of our favorite restaurants! I used to work here years ago and know the chef, Marty personally. The food is authentic Italian and ingredients are very fresh! The atmosphere is very chill, posh feel. We went for my 30th birthday dinner, and Maryna took care of my entire party! Everyone enjoyed their food and the ambiance!! The chef Marty came out to introduce himself, he is very personable yet professional. My husband says he needs to order red trout to-go after work. My bolognese eggplant parmigiano was cooked to perfection! I have missed the realness and rawness of the flavors and ingredients! Super thumbs up, my family and friends will be back along with us!Parking: If the parking lot in front of the restaurant is full you can park right next door at shared lot.Kid-friendliness: Not a kid scene but are welcome. My one year old niece joined us and was accommodated just fine.Wheelchair accessibility: First level seating with no steps.

The overall experience at Marciano Restaurant was absolutely perfect. I went with two co-workers and we arrived right before the kitchen closed. Crystal was our server, and she was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable and provided exceptional customer service. The atmosphere was so cool and the specials looked great.I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiano, and it was absolutely delicious.Highly recommended and ask for Crystal. Such a memorable experience and meal. Anytime I visit Memphis, this place will be on my list. ?? ??

Always excellent food and service!!Vegetarian options: Chef is great with dietary restrictions and vegetarian or vegan options.
I had a group of 14 that wanted a nice dining experience before we went to a concert that started at 7:00. The chef/owner, Morti, called me back immediately when I left a message on the reservation line and said that the best way to meet our time schedule was for everybody to go online and make their menus selection for me to text to him which I did. When we arrived, the table was beautifully set for 14 and our waitress was waiting for us to take our drink orders. Our food arrived within 10 minutes and everything was absolutely wonderful! I can personally vouch for the veal piccata which five of us had and it was excellent! She gave us separate checks as we requested and, after a wonderful meal and nice conversation, we had plenty of time to go to our next event. This is truly a secret gym in East Memphis in Brookhaven Circle with a wonderful atmosphere with nice music in the background, but not so loud that you can't have a good conversation. I highly recommend Marciano's for a special night out!

The food was very good. I had the special appetizer (crab chowder) and the special dinner (red snapper). Our server was terrific, too. I highly recommend this restaurant. Parking was my only issue.

This was the second time my husband and I have come here, and it’s definitely now a favorite. Everything is impeccable. This place is a GEM. Everything was fantastic. We had the bruschetta, chicken parmigiana, tiramisu and cheesecake, and neither one of us wanted to leave anything uneaten! HIGHLY

Traveling through La Grange, Kentucky from Dallas. Fantastic steak restaurant, and we have many in Dallas to compare to.
Mariana was our waitress and extremely racist I am aghast at the treatment we received from being asked if I wanted to review the menu while standing not being offered seating and finally asking me if I wanted to sit at the bar with my minor. We waited for acknowledgment for about 13 minutes and weren’t able to place our order until about 22 minutes after we sat down. We weren’t told the specials until after I inquired after the table next to us were read the specials. We weren’t offered any beverages other than water until after asking. The bread we were served was ice cold after inquiring if it was supposed to be warmed she grudgingly took it back to the kitchen and returned it extremely hard. The service other than the water waiter was horrible I definitely wouldn’t return. The waitresses behavior was clearly racist as she was so warm to other non black customers. Very disappointing

I rode around Brookhaven circle looking for something to eat for dinner. I saw this Italian restaurant and decided to stop in. When I tell you I'm so glad I did. I was greeted at the door by a gentleman with an accent? who asked me how many was in my party, I proudly said TABLE FOR ONE. The special was shrimp and lobster over angel hair pasta with broccoli as a side and I had a glass of Pinot. When I tell you I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and it was reasonable. I let my waitress know I shall return. It was mentioned reservations might be needed on the weekend. I'm not sure on how to add a picture.??

Very quaint spot for dinner, service was outstanding, and the food was even better. Perfect spot for a quiet dinner date. They have a full bar and their strawberry lemon drop martini was one of the best I've had.
