Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Osteria Marzano offers an authentic Italian dining experience with "phenomenal food" and "excellent service." Known for the "cheese wheel experience," the restaurant delights with "flawless pasta entrees" and "delicious desserts." While the ambiance may be a bit noisy due to its office building location, the "warm and inviting atmosphere" and "attentive staff" more than compensate. Perfect for special occasions and regular visits alike, Osteria Marzano is a "highly recommended" gem.

    It’s tucked into a corner so it’s more noisy than I expected.

    This was our first visit. We are looking for a new Italian restaurant to replace our local favorite that recently closed down. We had driven past Marzano dozens of times going to the Inova building just up the street, and a slew of very positive online reviews indicated this was a great place for us to try. Since it's on the ground floor of an upscale office building we were curious to see how they treated the space. This was the biggest miss -- you definitely feel like you still know you are in an office building, and it is noisy as heck. It may partially be due to getting seated at a table near the bar, instead of the glassed-in dining room beyond, but that space seemed more for private parties. But the interior lacked anything to soften the miles of granite bar; the walls are bare and the aluminum/ glass storefront has an unobstructed view of a driveway. So that was a bit disappointing since it does little to make you feel like you are having an enjoyable dinner. But the food more than held it's own for the most part. The two pasta entrees we had were flawless, and the carpaccio was delicious. The arancini suffered a little, though. The tomato sauce was slightly cool, and the arancini had cold spots. Maybe a pot of sauce had recently come out of the fridge and wasn't fully heated yet? The cold spots on the arancini were harder to understand. For dessert, the tiramisu was flavorful. The playful 'plating' in a inverted cone-shaped glass looked nice, but resulted in a heavy layer of mascarpone on top, and the flavors did not meld all the way through like what happens when you prepare in a tray and let it sit overnight. It was full of delicious individual flavors, but did not fully come together. We'll definitely return to Osteria Marzano, but -- mainly due to the atmosphere/ ambiance -- it will not be where we go regularly for family dinner. But we'll be back occasionally for cinghiale!

    Such an amazing menu so hard to decide what to order! I enjoyed the seafood special. Portions were large. Perhaps a little too salty for my taste but still delicious. My spouse had a spaghetti carbonara dish that he enjoyed. I wanna go back and just order appetizers and drinks and sit at the bar next time as there were so many things that look good on that menu. They even brought us a complementary dessert as we were celebrating an anniversary. The server was pretty much top-notch. He didn’t hover but was nearby when we needed something. I will definitely go back.

    Our first time going to Oateria but highly recommended by an Uber driver. We had a fantastic Father's Day there. The food was very good and tasty. The ambiance was lovely too. Would absolutely recommend it.
