    Great experience! Came here on a Sunday evening with the wife and a toddler they were very attentive and accommodating. Food was fantastic, arancini, burrata, spaghetti Neri, branzino & duck breast all well prepared and tasty. Shoutout to Miguel who was very gracious and attentive, definitely coming back.

    The staff were extremely friendly as soon as we walked in the door. I booked this restaurant for my boyfriend’s birthday and wanted as close to an authentic Italian restaurant as I could find - this place hit the mark! We were so hungry we went straight for entrees. He got the braised short rib ravioli and the 14 oz ribeye which was cooked to perfection. The ravioli had SO much meat in them. I was looking forward to the cheese wheel, which I got with gluten free pasta and the filet, which again was cooked perfectly medium rare. I was a little disappointed that it was penne pasta for the gluten free, as I think it would have just been better in the wheel for fettuccine or linguine but I understand keeping a different shape for gluten free guests and kitchen staff. We ate as much as we could and couldn’t even think about dessert! But they even brought a little bite-sized limoncello cake for his birthday, which was so sweet! It’s a personal preference of mine, but I love when it’s my first time at a restaurant and the server walks us through the menu pointing out what they would actually enjoy eating - some of their favorites! We did not receive that, but our server was pleasant and friendly, so no complaints! We will definitely be back.

    We are repeat diners at Osteria Marzano because the food and service are phenomenal. We love the appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drink menu, the attentive staff, and the excellent food. We've eaten the delicious bruschetta, caprese and Caesar salads, Manchego and olive small plates, a few of the pizzas, and the gnocchi... all are wonderful. We love the desserts and Illy coffee, too. They also have rooms for large groups and do table side cheese wheels! Just fair warning: like most restaurants these days, prices are high, and a family of 3-4 will spend at least $100 for a couple appetizers, a shared pizza, 2 glasses of wine and dessert. Again, this has become pretty standard, but worth considering if you're on a budget.

    We started with happy hour at the bar. Miguel was an excellent bartender. He took time to tell us about our drinks and shared in conversation. We brought my cousin from Pittsburgh to celebrate her anniversary (her husband was supposed to come but he did not feel well). She has always wanted to try the cheese wheel. It was spectacular and our service from Nijah was beyond excellent. OM is consistently phenomenal.

    Our experience here was wonderful. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious. I would’ve preferred more of a private seating area but overall I give it a nine out of 10. I would definitely recommend the cheese wheel experience and adding blackened shrimp to it.

    This restaurant was highly recommended by a few family members. It's inside an office building next to an Inova hospital. We didn't realize, but once we confirmed the address was correct, we parked in the open garage. We were greeted by a security officer who directed us to the restaurant doors. I'm sure this was not a part of his job description, but he was truly helpful. Once in the restaurant, we were warmly greeted, and after 5 minutes, we led to our seat. Miguel was our server, and he was exceptional! Very personable and attentive. When he was attending to other diners, one of the managers would come by to check on us. We ordered appetizers, bruchetta, and mixed olives. Delicious!! Our entrees were an excellent choice. I had the open face sea bass with angel hair pasta and broccolini. My husband had the cheese wheel experience with chicken, shrimp, and fettuccine noodles. The food for the value was beyond a reasonable price. I can't say enough about this restaurant except we can't wait to go back. Highly recommended and great for the family.
