The food, service and ambiance was great. The noise level was a little high, but did not impact table conversation. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It is one of the few that has maintained its level of experience over the many years it has been in business

My wife had the clam chowder last night, which is fabulous. It has a little bit of a sweetness to it. I have the beef tenderloin pasta, which is my go to here. It is spot on fabulous every time in my opinion the bang for the buck at this restaurant, the tenderloin on top of the pasta last night was probably the best I have had there cooked to perfection. They really don’t miss on this . You get four rolls before dinner with salted butter and the bread is fantastic. The tenderloin pasta comes with a side salad, which is a very large portion that is not just a plain side salad. It has I believe candied walnuts, Craisins, tomatoes, and what seems like a homemade blue cheese. This combination is my favorite dinner here. The service is always wonderful. They really do a good job. 

It’s always good, that’s why we eat here. There WAS an issue with my wife’s meal (an Asian dish that tasted like it was overcooked) but it was remedied right away by our favorite server, thanks Judy!

Marzano is an absolute gem of a restaurant with consistently excellent food and phenomenal service. Of particular note, the lasagne is a must try, the bruschetta is always excellent, anything with pesto, and their tiramisu is the best.
