Love this place. Service, food, ambiance, price are all excellent. Feels cozy and warm every time I go. Thank you Marzano for always making us feel like we're MVP!

Food was amazing. I would only change my seating location, we were in the “back” room towards the restroom and the vibe wasn't very cozy and it got loud at times. But the food was the best we have had locally

Absolutely wonderful meal and experience! The staff is exceptional, the food and drinks are excellent, and the ambiance is both elevated and cozy. From start to finish the experience was 5 stars. To add, as someone who is gluten free, I was thrilled with the amount of options available. If you’re anywhere nearby, Marzano’s is a must!

We went here to celebrate my daughters birthday- we came to a table that had a nice birthday card for her. I appreciated that so much and the food was wonderful! We ordered several appetizers and each was delicious! The steak was divine. We will arrange to go here again in the future!

From the moment we walked in, my wife and I felt welcomed. We asked for a quieter dining room and were instantly accomodated. The special entrees were described, chosen, and mind blowing phenomenal culinary perfection. Our waiter, Daniel, was the epitome of graciousness and helpful guidance throughout our dining experience. I highly recommend treating your tastebuds and loved ones to the experience that is Marzano Italian Restaurant! (I am not affiliated, related, or paid for review in any way)

I’m picky when it comes to Italian food, but this place really blew me away!

The house starter salad was so refreshing and flavorful! The scallop and black ink risotto dish I had was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. I also tried a bite of my friend’s lasagna and it was phenomenal! We ended the meal with tiramisu and creme brulee, both tasty!

Service was friendly from start to finish. I highly recommend making reservation through OpenTable. The place gets packed often. Plenty of parking.

I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

I can’t believe I just found out about this place! Everything about it is fabulous; food, atmosphere, service absolutely fantastic!! This will forever be my family’s go-to for Italian food. The Butternut Cappellacci is to die for but it’s seasonal so order it while it’s available! The Carlton Farms Pork Belly was scrumptious and their Diavola Pizza was uniquely delicious….I could go on and on. Thank you to Katie D for her patience and attention to detail!!

I celebrated my 57th birthday here last Friday evening and I couldn’t have been more impressed! First of all our server, Katie D, was phenomenal; super sweet, attentive, very accommodating, great sense of humor and knowledgeable. What a treasure! Second, the food was incredible!! There were 9 of us and we ordered 6 different dishes and all were amazing. Best Italian in WA hands down. Third, the restaurant itself was absolutely adorable! Quaint, intimate inside with wonderful outdoor seating both in front and in back. And finally, the location has a really cool and groovy vibe (right next to PLU on Garfield Street). We’ll be back on a regular basis!

This is a gem of a restaurant. If you want great Italian food, this is the place to go. This is authentic and much better than the commercial and seemingly industrialized Italian restaurants that cater to the masses. It has a very intimate atmosphere, and the wait staff is extremely knowledgeable about the food and drink offerrings. Based on your preferences, they will steer you in the right direction.

Daniel T was our server, and he was great!

The food is always exceptional,although unlike my last visit there wasn't a menu item that screamed out that I had to have it,but what I ordered was still really good. There was a group at the large table that was cackling like middle aged hyenas but that was no fault of the restaurant.the ambiance was fantastic and I can't wait to come back for the winter menu!

Judi

This is definitely an elevated Italian food dining experience. The menu options were varied and unique, each offering a variety of flavor combinations. The pork belly and mussel appetizers were a great way to kick off dinner both were flavorful and delicious. The entrees - Pork shank special was melt in you mouth tender, the butternut squash and pecan cappellaci was sweet with a wonderful crunch from the pecans and the Boscaiola was rich and hearty. We will definitely be back.
