About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
The chefs at Marzano's attain the freshest ingredients to prepare authentic Italian cuisine. Owner Elisa Marzano grew up in Vicenza, Italy, and consistently refers to these roots to design Marzano's unique yet classic menu. Once a quaint two-bedroom home, the restaurant was transformed but still keeps the rustic, home-like feel for an inviting, welcoming atmosphere. The pleasing combination of intimate lighting and natural window light make it the ideal spot for either lunch or dinner. A top menu choice is the boscaiola, which features a creamy tomato and Bolognese sauce over rigatoni pasta, topped with various spices and forest mushrooms. Guests can enjoy complimentary bread and salad with every entree, so eating at Marzano's can ensure a satisfied appetite. Marzano's also aims to please those with various dietary needs, such as diners who desire gluten-free options.

    First time for our family. Food was wonderful. Service was a bit slow, waiter very nice and accommodating. Wondered if the pace was from the kitchen side. We'll be back!

    Great food, great service. This is my wife’s and my favorite Italian restaurant! We absolutely love their meatballs! On this visit we tried the seabass special and it did not disappoint! I highly recommend Marzano’s.
