    Everyone at the table had something different and everything was just ok. The last time I was there it was delicious-very disappointing. Seems like every time I go I get the table closes to the kitchen-noisy and busy. Our server was attentive and friendly!

    This is a regular place for us, as everything about the food is impeccable. In particular, the pappardelle with any of the sauces that happen to be offered that day (wild boar, venison, rabbit, lamb) is always exceptional. Everything is right here and, more importantly, consistently so.

    It was our first time, we were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday, & our server Miguel was very attentive, knowledgeable of the menu and gave great suggestions. we enjoyed our meals and we will be back for the cheese wheel experience. but i do suggest that you all put on your website that you only do that thursday - sunday. that’s what we were mainly there for but overall experience was excellent!!

    It was a wonderful dinner. My wife had the halibut special and I had the tenderloin with large raviolo stuffed with Cacio e Pepe. A bottle of Prosecco made it a special occasion.

    I had a great experience. Our server was amazing, the food was timely and excellent. The only issue is that because it is in an office building I drove around it four times before I believed that I was in the right place.

    Food that brings tears to your eyes if you've had an Italian upbringing. Pappardelle con ragu di coniglio was exquisite. The pasta itself was made to perfection, and the sauce was inspired. Good wine list. Polished service. We are so fortunate to have this place in our neighborhood for frequent dining.

    Osteria Marzano made our first anniversary dinner one to remember. Definitely looking forward to the next! From taking my request for a specific table and greeting us with Prosecco to learning it was restaurant week and actually being able to try and check out some new things at a reasonable price! Can’t beat that!! The mussels and my husband’s burgers were absolutely delicious!!! The meatball was a little bland and my salmon ravioli was a little dry but overall everything was good! And lastly the tiramisu and espresso at the end of our meal was also very tasty!!!! My tummy is growling as I type this review thinking about it lol Can’t wait to come back! I hear they offer a decent happy hour menu so we’ll definitely have to venture over soon for that!

    Food was good and bad. My boar pasta was good, but the meat salty. My friend's pasta was good but she said the chicken parmesan was rubbery. My chocolate cake needed a fresh fruit or raspberry drizzle or something to elevate it for the cost of it. Same with the ricotta cheesecake, which my friend left back most of it. She liked our rancini appetizer, I found it ok, I wouldn't get it again. I've had better dinners and take away from here. For a $150 meal for two I expect better overall though. My chair had a large tear in it, I ordered liquor and it wasn't until dessert that my empty wine glass was removed. They give one set of cutlery only for the entire meal and a spoon for dessert. Our waitress was good and we were seated quickly. The fake grass and gold ribbon flower wall was not the classiest but the company was great. The free ice cream for my friend's birthday was nice. Will still give 4 stars because I've had better food here, just not this visit.

    5 stars experience. Incredible Italian restaurant in Alexandria. Hidden gem with the best happy hour and a well designed menu. Chef Marzano is friendly and takes great detail in his dishes. Staff are always warm and kind. For just a causal happy hour or a formal dinner this restaurant is a must to reserve.

    From start to finish this place was nothing short of incredible. Our server Miguel made us as comfortable as possible and was very personable during our dining experience. My fiancé and I have dietary restrictions and he made sure to let us know what to look out for on the menu for some words that we might not be familiar with. The cheese wheel pasta experience was to die for and the dessert menu was out of this world. We will definitely be returning sooner rather than later.  I can safely say this restaurant has the best pasta I have ever had bar none.

    Our first visit, but definitely not our last. A wonderful menu meeting a variety of tastes. Great service, nice atmosphere but most importantly. Incredible food. Chicken Parmigiana, wild Boar Ragout over homemade pasta, and an order of Boneless Short Ribs, plus a couple of appetizers and a couple desserts to share. Best restaurant in Alexandria area since we arrived 2 months ago. It will be our favorite without question.

    Osteria is a beet nice restaurant in a place where you’d least expect it. The food and service are excellent. It’s bustling but not too noisy. It’s a great place for a date or special occasion. There was a family there with four noisy kids and the management did nothing to address it. That made the overall experience good not great. But hopefully that was a one-off.

    My fiancée and I have dined here several times and each experience has been superb. The quality of food and service is consistently outstanding. Last night we had the Arancini and the Pacheri seafood special. Portions here are ample so we shared these and left pleasantly satisfied. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of an office building so there is tons of free parking in the garage and lots of pretty scenery of the landscaped grounds and fountains. We highly recommend this gem for any occasion!

    Our sever was avoidant, rude and dismissive. From telling us we asked to many questions for him to introduce himself, to delivering a beverage to our new table without telling us it was our drink. We walked up to a new table and it was sitting there. This day and age we know not to drink from anything that wasn’t handed directly to you right? And then he didn’t return for another 15 mins to check in so we could could even ask was this ours, considering it was there before we arrived at the new table. The appetizers was cold and had a unpleasant aftertaste but again he never returned to check in so by the time he did we were over it and unpleased
